About: I worked as a veterinary technician and ICU nurse at a veterinary teaching hospital for 11 years. I have a farm where I have 2 cats, chickens, 3 dogs, 2 dachshunds and an Australian shepherd. I would love to pet sit your pups and provide an adventurous, peaceful, home away from home. Most weeks I am working from home so I am here all day with my pets and yours. I give numerous potty breaks throughout the day along with pasture walks and trail hikes, all on my property. If I leave for appointments or errands, I am gone no more than 4 hours. I have 22 acres that my pups (and cats and chickens) roam on. The front is fenced and gated but there are still places around the perimeter that does not have a full fence. I can easily keep your pup on a leash while staying if desired. I am happy to crate your pup if you desire during bedtime and/or when I am out for a few hours. I have multiple sizes of crates available so you will not have to bring. I have a background in veterinary medicine and never let my pups out of my sight while we are outside playing.
“Melissa was pleasant, caring and watched our senior puppy Grover for about four hours so we could go to a medical appointment. Grover has separation anxiety and he's blind and partially deaf and Melissa cared for him well. We will definitely use again when the need arises.”
About: I've had pets my whole life. I also worked at a dog groomers, where I learned how to care for others' dogs aside from my own. I am patient and really love animals! I have my own business where I mostly work from home so my schedule is generally up to me. I also have a dog so I have time set aside for taking care of him. I have a backyard and a friendly, calm dog to keep them company. We can also keep them in separate rooms if needed. I can crate your dog if they feel safer there.
About: My husband and I work from home and would love to host your fur baby! We have a 7-pound maltipoo, Gizzie, who would love to snuggle with your pup in our bed. Our three cats are used to dogs being boarded in our home and don't mind the extra company. When dogs stay for overnight visits, they have breaks every 1-2 hours and receive lots of cuddles and playtime. Each day they can enjoy long walks in the neighborhood. I also do drop-ins and dog walks so your pups can stretch their legs when you're not around. I love sending videos and pics of your fur baby enjoying themselves and frequent feedback about how they are doing so you never have to worry about a thing! My husband and I work from home and are able to give your pup the attention it needs while you're away! We love on your pet and like to send lots of updates. I like to treat your pup like my own. We go for regular walks for exercise, have frequent potty breaks, and enjoy lots of time to play!
About: I have always had pets growing up, and my love for them has grown even more in my adulthood. I have bred dogs, so I am well rehearsed with all ages of dogs, from pups to elder. I have two dogs of my own, a dachshund and a golden retriever. As a nurse, I am driven to care for others, and that includes our furry friends ! I work as a nurse on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I dog sit/dog walk on my off days and weekends. I enjoy morning walks the best, but I am free throughout Wednesday and Fridays I will respect your space as if it were my own. I have been dog sitting for many years and have never had a trust or safety issue. I’m very dependable and trustworthy.

About: I have grown up with large and small dogs owning, walking, and sitting. I also own a Shih Tzu she’s 13 and loves other dogs. She’s always looking for another dog to play with and I work from home now, so I thought this could be great for people if they want their dog to hang with another pup, someone who is reliable, responsible, and will provide their dog with so much love while they’re gone. I treat every dog like their my own, I only serve good ingredients treat wise, I can cook for special diets and serve special food if needed. I allow dogs on my couch, I have a fenced in big backyard for them to run around, and will care for them as they’re my own! I also like to walk the neighborhood, and have a very safe neighborhood to walk dogs in too. I love to play, so they will have plenty of action! I work for myself from home so I can be with them and play with them all day, no problem. Looking for my senior dog to have some company while also helping some other people who want to give their dogs some extra love, more 1 on 1 attention, or maybe a dog with anxiety who needs attention, who doesn’t play much but doesn’t like to be home all day. Have them come to me! I treat all pets like they are my own. I absolutely love animals, and could spend all day with pets! I get so excited when I can be with animals and love their energy. I can administer meds. I’m very cautious if they have dietary needs, and I am very detail oriented and listen to the owners requests.

Brandie L.
“I can't say enough good things about Brandie when it comes to how she cares for animals. She is one of the most responsible and loving pet caregivers I’ve ever known. Whether it's her own pets or someone else's, she gives them all her love with special attention, feedings, exercise on the farm, and always keeps them comfortable and safe. She's incredibly attentive to their needs and genuinely enjoys spending time with all animals.

She has such an effortless connection with animals — they must sense her kind heart and gentle nature, and they just melt in her hand. She's extremely caring and attentive.

I've known her for almost 10 years, and she's always been a true animal lover and a phenomenal parent to her own pets and to everyone else's pets, too. You couldn't find a better caregiver, I promise.”
