About: I looked after and cared for my family’s two dogs as a teen and am 1 year into being a work from home dog dad for our English Golden, Archie. I can walk, feed, play and otherwise entertain your pets as I do my own. I work from home doing an 8am-4pm office job fully remote. I have many breaks throughout the day as the job is on call/as needed. I use this spare time to enrich our puppies life with exercise, playtime, and training. Weekends are usually free unless I am out of town. I have a fenced in back yard for easy outside time and a small neighborhood for walks. I have a 1 year old English Golden Retriever named Archie who loves to play and make new friends. I can kennel dogs at night if needed. Archie’s night time routine involves his crate which he prefers to go to at night for sleeping. On an average day we alternate between lounging by the hearth, playing frisbee/ball outside to get laps in, naps, and of course walks around lunch time and shortly after work. I can come to your house for check ins or walks and if needed can pick up/drop off your pet for boarding at my place.

About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember. I've always done well with them, they tend to like me. I will smother them with love or keep a distance, whatever they decide. I am currently between jobs, so I have plenty of time to play with your dog and make sure they get good exercise. And they have something to look forward to during the day! Your dogs health and safety are of course my top priority. I will consult with you about what kind of play they like, where you feel comfortable with me walking them, and what kind of treats they like.

I am so fortunate to have found Josh. My Emma liked him instantly, which is rare. My Zeusy gets super excited when he sees his harness, which he only wears for walks, so I know he enjoys Josh’s visits as well.

About: I have cared for dogs since I was 10. My family and friends have relied on me to feed them, take them for walks, and overall care until they return home. I have a flexible schedule on the weekends and in the evenings. I am able to drop in for an evening walk, nightly feeding during the week. On the weekends, a bit more care as my schedule has more freedom. I currently do not have the ability to have additional dogs or cats in my home. I have 2 dogs and a cat at the moment.

Haley came to my home for a meet and greet before her walk with Spirit. She was very sweet and answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease that my pup was in good hands. And he was. She communicated very well if anything occurred. I would definitely let her walk Spirit again.

About: Dogs have been part of our lives since childhood, and now we're lucky enough to share our home with three well-trained pups who absolutely love having furry friends visit. We've been through it all—raising energetic puppies, caring for senior dogs with special needs, and everything in between. As a stay-at-home mom and work-from-home dad, we're here all day, every day. Your dog will never be left alone and will get the same love and attention our own dogs receive. Our daily routine includes hour-long walks and plenty of playtime in our fenced backyard, where dogs can run, explore, and socialize safely. We only accept one additional dog at a time to ensure every guest gets personalized attention and fits well with our pack. Our three dogs are friendly, well-socialized, and love making new friends, so your pup will have built-in playmates if they're interested—or plenty of quiet companionship if they prefer a calmer pace. We know how hard it is to leave your dog with someone else. We'll treat your pet like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and follow their routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and loved while you're away. As dog lovers, our pets aren't just part of our schedule—they are our schedule! Since we're both home full-time, your dog will be integrated into our everyday life just like our own. Our dogs get a solid hour-long walk every day around lunchtime, and your pup will join right in. When the weather's nice, we're constantly heading out to the backyard for play sessions, potty breaks, and supervised exploration throughout the day. Because we work from home, there's always someone available for attention, belly rubs, or just hanging out on the couch. Dogs have free access to our main living areas and are never isolated or crated unless that's your specific request. Meal times, medication schedules, and any special routines you have at home—we'll stick to them. Your dog will simply become the fourth member of our pack while they're here, getting the same care, exercise, and love our three receive every single day. Your dog's safety is our top priority. Our home features a securely fenced backyard that's regularly inspected, and we never leave dogs unsupervised outdoors. Inside, our space is dog-proofed and comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space when needed. We're experienced in reading dog body language and managing group dynamics. Before any visit, we do a meet-and-greet to ensure compatibility with our pack. We only take one guest at a time so we can carefully monitor interactions and make sure every dog feels safe and happy. We know trust is everything when it comes to your pet. We'll keep you updated throughout your dog's stay with photos and messages, and we're always available if you need to reach us. All dogs in our care are treated with the same watchful eye and gentle care we give our own—because we understand they're not just pets, they're family. Our calm, loving home environment means less stress for your dog and peace of mind for you.

About: I've taken care of pets off and on for years. From family pets to neighborhood friends, many pet owners have entrusted me with caring for their animal friends. I am working part time during the day so l'm available for daily drop ins and/or walks in the afternoons and evenings. My boy Duke is like my son and I would do anything for him. I can ensure you're pet will be met with that same love and care whether it's a drop in visit/ walk/ or overnight visit. If your pet gets along with other dogs duke would love an overnight play date! I am comfortable feeding/ administering medicine and cleaning up after your pets. I am currently working part time as a personal trainer so my mornings are usually fully booked but anywhere from 1-8pm usually are open. During the weekend my schedule is free and open! Live in a gated apartment complex with a small dog park my dog and I usually walk outside the gate to the townhouses or neighborhood for longer walks if thats something you are comfortable with that way they can get all there sniffs and energy out!

About: Hi! My name is Andrea and I am a proud dog mom of 12 years to our sweet Mia and now assist surrounding neighbors with the care of their fur babies while away. Drop in visits, dog walks and updates shared! Weekly hours I am available for your pet needs: Mondays-Fridays 8:30AM-11:30AM 12:00PM-2:30PM 4:30PM-6:30PM Saturdays 9:30-10:30AM and 2:00-6:00PM Sundays 8:30-10:30AM and 2:00-6:00PM 10 miles of 37174 zip code Respecting the perimeter set by the pet owner ensures the safety, comfort, and training consistency of the animal, whether it is a physical fence, an invisible barrier, or personal space indoors. Adhering to these boundaries, such as not entering designated safe areas (crates/beds), prevents stress, reduces anxiety, and respects the owner's rules. I do not provide any pet sitting services out of my personal home nor will I be bringing my dog with me to pet care appointments scheduled. Please feel free to text me with any questions or outlines that pertain to the desired schedule and or feeding instructions. I will be sure to provide updates in your absence to ensure peace of mind.

About: I am a licensed veterinary medical technician who has worked in the field for 7+ years. I am reliable, trustworthy, and always have the pet’s best interest at heart. I will treat yours like my own! I am a stay-at-home mom and available anytime most days (babies stay at grandparents while I sit). I am not available at the following times: Tuesdays from 9:30-11/Wednesdays from 11:30-3:00. I prefer to pet sit in the client’s home as this typically aids in minimizing the discomfort an animal feels without their owner. I provide up to 4 visits per day.
