About: Hi there! My name is Mikalya! I have a strong passion for animals. I’ve been dog and cat sitting since I was 12 years old. I have one dog, Rocky and a cat, Clever. Both are very sociable and get along very well. They are laidback. I would be more than happy to keep your fur-baby for you! Neighbors and family members have counted on me to care for their fur babies! I make sure they get more than enough care! I strive to go above and beyond! I work Monday-Friday, 8:30am-5pm, but I am off every weekend. Just let me know your needs and I will try my best to accommodate to them! I will crate them if that is what you prefer. I usually let the animals free roam so that they would feel comfortable in my home!

About: I've had dogs all my life. Our sweet old Bella didn't get along with other pets. We know the challenge of finding care for a selective dog. Since Bella passed away this summer, our home is now empty. Our family is ready to care for your dog. We have a great fenced yard and four children (9, 5, 3 and 1.5 as of Feb 2025) who know how to treat animals with gentleness and respect. I'm home nearly all the time to give your pet full-time care and attention. I am a full time Mom. I homeschool and raise four kids. We are active at home throughout the week playing inside and out in the fenced back yard. We have an awesome fenced yard and a great neighborhood for walks. We will host one pet/family at a time to best care for selective dogs.
“Lindsay made my dog feel so at home! He had lots of space to run around and play, and a place to rest when he needed. She kept me updated while he was there with pictures and videos, and he looked so happy to be there!”
“Autumn was great with my dog Cooper. She was super accommodating with my crazy work schedule. I’m a nurse and she was completely ok with early mornings and late evenings. Cooper loves her and gets so excited every time he sees her. Would definitely recommend!”
“Omgoodness….I so wish I had found you sooner. You were amazing and so sweet to my baby! He had an amazing time. Thank you for taking such good care of him and for all the updates with pictures and videos. It always takes a load off when we know we can go to work and someone takes care of their dog the same as they would their own!!”
About: Hi! I’m Brandy—a lifelong animal lover, proud dog mom to two sweet pups of my own, and someone who truly believes that every fur baby deserves love, attention, and a little adventure every day. I’ve always felt a deep connection to animals, and being around them just lights me up. Whether I’m hiking through the woods, exploring a new trail, or just enjoying a walk around the neighborhood, I love sharing those moments with furry companions by my side. The great outdoors is my happy place, and I bring that same energy to every walk I take. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I treat every animal like family—because they are! Whether your pup needs a fun stroll, a little exercise, or just some extra TLC while you’re away, I’d be honored to be their walker and friend. I also love cats! Let’s make tails wag together! I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I work another gig part-time but I’m available during the week and weekends to meet your pet service needs. I have a fenced in back yard with two friendly pups at home. I’m willing to board one additional friendly dog at a time. I also can come to your home to do regular check-ins! Let me know your fur baby’s needs and I’ll make it happen.

About: I have experience working with puppies, as well as, adult and senior dogs. I worked as a kennel tech/ kennel manager for 10 years. I have experience in giving medication, ear cleaning, nail trimming, feeding, restraining, bathing, leash walking and cleaning up after. I have even had to take sick puppies home with me over night to feed and give medication to throughout the night. I understand the bond between pets and humans and that they require attention. I have experience in working with dogs who require special feeding and medication instructions. I also understand that puppies have different needs than adult dogs. I have a love for all animals; I am someone you will be able to trust taking care of your fur baby. Available nights and weekends Available nights and weekends Available nights and weekends Available nights and weekends Available nights and weekends Available nights and weekends . I am not able to offer services in my home but I can care for dogs, cats, reptiles, and small animals for any services needed such as walking.
About: I love dogs so very much, which is why I am doing this. I travel a lot, so when I’m home, I’m kind of a home body, and just need a dog to love on! I have cared for pets with diabetes, so not afraid of that(in case that’s a concern) I am in town for about half of the year. During my times in town I’m here, I don’t have a lot going on, so like to spend time at the house or going for walks with friends. I have a fenced in yard, so plenty of room to play. I do have a pool, so I won’t leave your baby out there without being present to supervise. I have a plenty of house for your dog to hang out inside if I have to go anywhere(tile floors in a separate room, so accidents are not a big deal. If your baby is crate trained, you’ll just have to explain how you like that handled and I’ll happily oblige.
