About: I’ve had a dog companion all of my life. I’ve trained 5 dogs from pups and have fostered and adopted many older dogs, caring for them through their final years. All of my pets have lived long, healthy and happy lives. I’m retired. I do whatever whenever I’d like. Any schedule I have pretty much revolves around my two little dogs. Breakfast at 8AM, supper at 6PM, at their insistence, and I’ll feed your pup according to their schedule. There is a doggy door to a fenced in lawn with gardens, treated for fleas, so they have access to the facilities whenever they’d like. We go out together every morning to feed the birds and trim some plants and again every evening to check the yard and play. The younger dog likes walks in the neighborhood when weather permits. We see the neighbors and their dogs at sunrise or just before sunset a couple times a week when the sidewalks aren’t too hot. My dogs like to come out and help me garden, also when it’s not too hot. All exit doors to the open have “airlocks” so nobody can accidentally get out front. My home has always been puppy proof, no electric cords are within reach, nothing on the floors but furniture feet so there’s nothing to accidentally consume. The floors are tile throughout with indoor/outdoor rugs to help maintain a clean environment. The sofas have washable custom covers for the same reason. There are stairs to gain safe access to the sofa. Almost every room has a fresh water canister. Kibble isn’t kept out, allowing me keep a close eye on their healthy diets. Dangerous chemicals are never used in or around my home. There are plenty of dog beds under beds and in quiet corners so they can have quiet time if they want it. I also have a medium crate if they prefer. There are screened porches to the ground so they can see the world go by without being involved in it (a reasonable amount of barking at passersbys is acceptable). I believe praise works, punishment does not. I do not discipline animals, aside from a timeout spent in a room alone for 15 minutes for unruly behavior. Just as with young children, I always know where they are and what they’re up to. No more than a minute or two goes by without my notice so they have little opportunity to get into trouble.

“Dee was such a great host. She made sure Enzo was comfortable and happy. It was a little nerve wracking leaving him during a hurricane, but she calmed my fears and provided constant updates and videos. He loved playing with the other friends he made with at Dee’s house. We will definitely will be using Dee again!! Thank you ❤️”

“We can see Jonathan is very caring and knows how to handle a shy dog like Gumbo. Brittany already loved him when Jonathan came. We definitely trust Jonathan and his wife to keep and care for our pups.”

“Lori spends time with Root, sitting outside with him or cuddling on the couch. They really take him in as a part of the family. I know he is in good care when I am away and that’s hard to find.”

About: Social animal lover, former small dog owner, experienced pet caregiver, and current rescue volunteer, I provide dependable, compassionate care for pets of all personalities and needs. I understand that pets are family, and I treat each one with patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My two-hour visits are structured as drop-ins tailored to your pet’s routine and can include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. My goal is always to reduce stress for both pets and owners by providing calm, consistent care you can trust. (Service radius 4-5m) I also offer in-home (my home) boarding on a limited basis when it’s the right fit for your pet. My home is in a quiet community with a fenced yard, and I focus on creating a peaceful, comforting environment where animals can relax and feel secure. My bond with animals began early in life and has stayed with me ever since. From caring for cats and dogs of my own to volunteering with local shelters. If you’re looking for someone responsible, nurturing, and truly devoted to animals, I would be honored to care for your pet like family. Retired and available to love up all the furry friends. I have a reliable vehicle. I also have a pet booster seat for the smaller pets, recognizing the importance of their inability to have the same view as the larger dogs. Did you know? Small dogs can get vertigo in the back seat or in a lower view? It’s true! Looking forward to meeting your furry loves. Caring for pets in a client’s home is a very trusting requirement I do not take lightly. Every client deserves their furry child cared for and overall expectations for their sweet furry child exceptional. Every pet is unique in their wants and needs are important, getting to know pet parents helps aid in visual cues by both the owner and the pet upon that first meeting as well as interactions thereafter. I am also a pet portrait photographer and if your pet is photographed I will offer this as a complementary service to my current availability. I care for my pets very seriously. I have one dog who was rescued from a puppy mill, who is a special-needs pet and does require Special food due to allergies and has enjoyed a life of love, affection, medical care, compassion, and kindness throughout his 11 years. I have a lovely fenced in yard that allows for the furry friends to relax, play or nap in the shade. I have multiple pet beds and bowls available.

“Savanna was fantastic! I could tell Alfie had a great time and was well taken care of. He was sad to leave her side he enjoyed his time so much. Highly recommend.”

“Lori is professional, courteous and extremely responsive. I received pictures daily of activities and on goings with my dog. I have never boarded my 15 year old senior maltipoo before and Lori's care put me at ease while I was away. I love the service she offers of picking up and dropping off which allowed my to deal with the chaos I had to prior to helping a family member move to another state! I highly recommend her and already have her booked again real soon!”

Laura O.

“My English Setter Chase was so well.looked after. He was happy and having so much fun that I am not sure he wanted to leave.!! Will definately go back again!”

I specialize in the patient, detail-oriented care required for senior pets and medication management, while my ten-year-old daughter brings the perfect energy for puppy and kitten socialization and interactive play.

When we visit your home, safety and security are our absolute priorities. We are experts at maintaining your pet's existing routine to minimize stress while you are away.

About: I love dogs personally and have had over ten years of dog sitting and walking as well as training through out my life. I possess skills and experiences with caring for and training puppies and younger dogs and have raised over 7 puppies myself so I am quite used to caring for pets that are learning and growing as well as potty training experience. I as well have experience caring for older and senior dogs which might need more attention and care and have had prior experience as well with my own senior dogs, so I am used to working with pets which have joint or mobility issues. I am also accustomed to caring for pets which have species need or requirements, such as taking care of very medicated animals and pets which anxiety and fear. I also have taken care of many different animals through out my life, having been raised working and volunteering at animal shelters, farms, and non profits. I am currently a student at a local college close by, so I am very available throughout the week and weekends for caring for your pets or any last minute needs or stays. I am easily able to adapt to your fur babies schedule and routine in your home making them feel as comfortable as possible. Giving care such as walks or play times for their daily exercise and comfort as well as drop by visits through out the day when ever is needed for feeding and bath room time or even just hanging out with your fur baby so they are not lonely.
