About: As a lifelong dog owner, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve owned four Labrador Retrievers over the years and currently have one lovable lab, Ellie Bear, who absolutely loves making new furry friends. My experience goes far beyond basic pet care — my first dog, Nala, had a litter of 8 puppies, giving me hands-on experience with canine pregnancy, birthing, newborn puppy care, feeding schedules, socialization, and raising puppies in a safe, loving environment. I understand the importance of patience, routine, exercise, affection, and making pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles, or simply having companionship, I treat every dog like family. 🐾 🐾 Availability & Care Schedule 🐾 Your pup will never be left alone — someone will always be home 24/7, whether it’s myself, Pep, or Kevin. We provide a safe, loving, family-style environment where dogs receive constant attention, care, and companionship. Each day includes: • Plenty of playtime and exercise • Snuggles, affection, and personalized attention • Potty breaks and outdoor time • A cozy, stress-free environment where your dog is treated like family 🐻🐾 I am currently available for: • Weekend boarding • Extended stays when needed • Flexible scheduling depending on availability My goal is to make every pup feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away! Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. We provide a loving, family-style environment where dogs are treated like one of our own. We have a large fenced-in yard perfect for running, playing, fetch, and getting lots of energy out safely. Our chocolate lab, Ellie Bear, absolutely loves making new friends, chasing tennis balls, and cooling down afterward in the pet pool on warmer days! 🐻💦 For boarding stays, I can easily accommodate your dog’s sleeping preferences. If your pup is crate trained, I’m happy to crate them when needed, or they can relax in a cozy dog bed for bedtime. And if your dog is used to extra snuggles and sleeping close to their humans, we don’t mind cuddles in bed either — we want them to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. Most importantly, your dog will never be left alone. Someone will always be home 24/7 — whether it’s myself, or Kevin — so your pup will always have supervision, companionship, love, and care.

About: I have two dogs of my own that I've been helping take care of for twelve years. I've also dog sat for my friends while they were on vacation. I’m currently available for pet care 7 days a week with notice. I am also currently available any time of day and would love to meet your dogs! I can play with and walk your pups and I'm very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. There are no dogs that I don't love.

“Nicolas is so kind and communicative! Olive always gets so happy to see him, and he is especially patient with her as an energetic puppy who can be quite stubborn.”

About: My experience with dogs spans from dog sitting to working at vet hospitals. I have owned large dogs since I was young this let to me sitting for neighbors and people around town. I have experience with dogs as young as 8 weeks old to seniors who needed a little extra care. My veterinary experience means that I can provide basic medical care if needed. I will take care of your pet as if it was my own! I am currently a college student looking for a way to work with animals while at school. I am fairly flexible with time as my classes are spread out which is conducive to visiting during the day as well as dog walking if needed. It also means I’m available on most weekends and open to staying at the house with your pet. I am looking to provide the best care to you and your pet! I make sure to be attentive to both the clients wants for their animals as well as learning the animals personality in order to provide the best care. I will also make sure to keep the clients home clean and abide to any household rules that they would like be to follow. Overall I am flexible and will make sure to listen to both human and animal wants.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve always had cats in my life and had the privilege of growing up with the best dogs ever. For the past 10 years, I’ve been caring for pets professionally, building lasting relationships with both animals and their families. Many of the families I work with have become like an extension of my own family. Over the years, I’ve cared for household pets with fur, scales, and feathers. No matter the animal, my number one priority is earning their trust and making sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. I’m especially comfortable working with pets who need a little extra time to warm up to a new person. I’m attentive to body language and behavior, and I take the time to learn what makes them the most comfortable I also have extensive experience caring for pets with additional medical needs, including administering pills, intravenous medications, and inhalers. My own surly old-man cat requires an inhaler twice a day, so I understand firsthand the importance of making medical care as stress-free as possible. Whether your pet is outgoing and eager for a new friend or takes a little more time to come around, I will give them thoughtful, reliable care to give you the comfort of knowing they’re in good hands. I'm currently working part-time in the mornings, and I'm typically free after 3:00 for any pet care. My workday typically starts at 7:00 AM, and I'm unavailable for early morning drop-ins. However, I am willing to adjust on a case-by-case basis. I want to get specific details about your pet's personality and daily routine. I want to make sure I am fulfilling your pet's needs. I know that every animal has different quirks, and I will take your lead on what makes your pets the happiest. I want to know their favorite scratch spot, if they have a favorite bowl or toy, if there are behaviors to keep an eye on, and what kind of training you want me to stay consistent with.

About: I worked at a vet clinic in Richmond Vermont called the Richmond Animal hospital. I worked with dogs all the time. I was tasked to help my seniors in case any dogs felt nervous or needed someone to feel secure with. Currently I am available mostly on Saturdays, Sundays, and tuesdays. I love to go out on walks when the the day breaks or stays. Though I never mind a good night walk. If a situation is given, I always calmly and efficiently find a peaceful way out of way. Im all about understanding and common ground. I look foward to bonding, not separation.

“Had a great experience booking daily walks for three days with Jenna. Had to book super last minute and she was kind enough to accept and be flexible with us. She provided a rover card for each walk showing how far and long they walked as well as if my dog pooped 1-2x which was rlly helpful for me. jenna also went the extra mile of feeding him and making sure he ate after his walks while also keeping him company for a good amount of time afterwards too. All of which was rlly appreciated, well communicated, and shows how much she cares! I also received a daily picture which I looked forward to everyday :) not many dog walkers would do all of this but she did. Also, it was rlly important that my dog goes on a 30 min walk once every 24 h or else he won’t eat and starts throwing up from starving himself and she responsibly did show up within the asked/ flexible time frame:) Would book another walk with her in the future”

About: I grew up around dogs, and my family has always had at least one dog in our home. Being around dogs my whole life has given me experience caring for dogs at all stages of life, with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I've also regularly dog-sat for families over the past 6 years, which has helped me become comfortable meeting new dogs and adapting to their individual routines. I understand that every dog is different, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I'm currently in graduate school, and pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I enjoy getting outside to walk, play, and spend quality time with dogs, which is also a great way to take a break from studying. I understand the importance of maintaining each dog's regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and time to relax at home. I do my best to plan around my school schedule so each dog gets the attention, care, and companionship they need. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a backyard where dogs can get outside and enjoy fresh air. Although my yard isn't fenced, I always supervise dogs and keep them on a leash when outside to ensure their safety. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or a client's, I do my best to maintain their normal routines so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and other daily needs. I understand every dog is different, so I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I also keep owners updated with pictures and messages so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“Excellent walker, would happily use Matthew again!”

About: I have grew up around dogs and cats and always had a huge amount of love for them. For the last 3 years when I was living in South Carolina, my good friend always called me first to dog sit and house sit. I’ve been around many different types of dogs. Would love to learn more along this journey Right now I am in the Air National Guard, so my weekdays are not filled up at the moment. In the meantime, I think that taking care of cats and dogs would be amazing for me. I’d like to think that every dog and cat I come in contact with, we automatically will grow a connection. Instructions are easy to follow. I have no problem completing whatever task needs to be completed while also having a fun time with these pets

“Super sweet girl and my baby loved the walk! Thanks for being so easy to work with”

About: I've owned a pug for almost 9 years, and have taken care of him the entire time. I worked at a Doggie Daycare (Gullivers) for 5 years. I'm very used to walking dogs, cleaning, and basic grooming practices (bath, nails, ears, teeth). I grew up with dogs and have always walked animals. I prefer dogs to most people😂 I'm not working at the moment, and trying to work up to that. I have plenty time in the day to come and walk your dog. Lots of love too! I give him a bath about once a month, clip his nails about twice a month, brush his teeth a couple times a week, and wipe out ears when needed. I live in an apartment building, so I walk Ripley on leash in our neighborhood. Always dealing with a mix of dogs with different temperaments.

“Lacy is very nice loved Sultan. Highly recommend and will call Lacy in the future”

“Jaime was awesome!! Loved watching my pup bounce around when she arrived, and appreciated the updates during/after the walks. Will definitely book again!!”

I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m home most of the day and always home at night, so your pet will have lots of attention and supervision, especially during stays in my home. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with access to a fenced-in dog park and plenty of walking trails nearby. Your pet will have a safe, comfortable environment with lots of opportunities for exercise and fresh air. I also have a friendly dog and cat who are both used to being around other animals. For added safety and flexibility, I can crate pets if preferred or follow any specific routines you have.
