About: I am a lifelong animal lover living on a working farm, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. I own dogs of my own as well as livestock, giving me hands-on experience with animals of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Being attentive, patient, and proactive with animal care comes naturally to me. My farm provides a calm, safe environment with plenty of room to explore, run, and play. Dogs staying with me will enjoy lots of fresh air, exercise, and enrichment throughout the day. Whether your dog loves long walks, free time to stretch their legs, or just relaxing in a peaceful setting, I tailor care to their needs and routine. I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand that each pet is unique. From high-energy pups to laid-back companions, I focus on comfort, safety, and plenty of love while you’re away. I am available 7 days a week for boarding. Taking care of animals is my daily job so adding in a few more is no big deal around here. Here is an idea of a daily schedule for your pet: -Morning potty break, breakfast, and walk -Supervised outdoor play with room to run -Midday rest, check-ins, and enrichment -Afternoon walk or playtime -Dinner, evening potty break, and wind-down -Final potty break and bedtime Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Living on a working farm, I am experienced in supervising animals and maintaining a calm, structured environment. Dogs are always monitored during outdoor time, with secure areas for play and exercise. I follow each dog’s individual routine and needs, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and activity levels. Whether your dog enjoys active play or a quieter pace, care is tailored to them. My farm offers plenty of space to move, explore, and relax in a safe, stress-free setting. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and livestock, I understand animal behavior and take trust seriously. You can feel confident knowing your pet is cared for with attentiveness, consistency, and respect—just like one of our own.

This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous. Holly was amazing! We have 4 dogs and they can be a little overwhelming, but they all loved her. She kept in contact with us throughout the week and made sure not only our dogs were taken care of, but also our house. I would highly recommend Holly. We will definitely be using her services again.

Hailey was so great. She sent us multiple updates/photos while house sitting for us. I have dogs that can get pretty rowdy and she embraced them with such kindness. Can't thank her enough!

About: I have worked with just about every type of animal. I worked as a veterinary assistant for five years and fostered for 10+ years. I have always loved animals and always go above and beyond for my furbabies. I often foster animals in need, as well as adopt animals in need. I honestly just have so much love and compassion to give out to all animals. I cant wait to meet your fur babies and get to know them better! Let me know if you have any questions! I am free most days with the ability to tend to your furbaby's needs whenever works best for you, as I am currently self employed and create my own schedule. I have a fenced in yard with lots of toys and room to run. I spend 2-3 hours outside (depending on the weather) with the pups playing fetch or other games.

Ashley did great with our two pups! She seemed to know how to navigate our more anxious pup and get her to warm up to her, which is huge for me as I worry about our anxious girl! Our other pup is deaf and a bit of a handful, but she did great!

About: I provide calm, consistent care for dogs and cats so they can stay relaxed and comfortable while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your animal is safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. I also have current experience caring for larger animals (including horses), and have the ability to read body language and handle animals calmly and confidently. You can expect regular updates, and thoughtful care while your pet is with me. I also have experience as a pet and horse photographer, so I naturally capture calm, genuine moments to share while you’re away. I prioritize routine with your pet, so I take a limited number of bookings at a time. Morning: 7:30–10:30 AM Midday: 12–4 PM Evening: 5–9 PM (Friday and Saturday only) Overnight stays are considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on scheduling and your pet’s specific needs. I prefer to care for pets in their home so routine and stress levels are kept consistent and low. I follow instructions closely, adjust to each pet’s needs, and prioritize safety. You can expect dependable communication and updates while you’re away.

About: I am a proud mother of a 9yr old son and an 15 yr old daughter.. My daughter is usually at school for most of the day. However, caring for both full time I have come to notice animals stimulate both kids and teach them respect, responsibility and routine. We are excited to em"bark" on this new chapter in life and cant wait to start. Together, I believe all 3 of my family unit would not only love, but sincerely enjoy even the smallest and largest pets while their 'parents' are away or just need some attention. With summer upon us - my schedule (and helping hands) have become more flexible. Currently, I am available every day from 6am to 7pm. Holidays, weekends, and every day that ends in "Y"! With respect to the pet , clients home, and specific care needs, I try to always keep an open mind and heart but keeping respect in the foreground.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young, family and friends have allowed me to take care of them. I enjoy taking them on walks, petting them and giving the attention they deserve, and taking care of them. I will treat them just as you would and offer extended stays. For stays longer than 5 days, most I have done is a month and a half as of present, you will return to a clean home 😊 I am strong and able to keep my stability while walking dogs, am able to let them out, feed them, give baths, and offer other services for the home like my interior design skills which is another side business, that can be spoken about, if interested.

Madie was amazing. We had a last minute conflict with our dog sitter and she came to the rescue. It was our first time using someone who was not family watching her. She came to our house on Thanksgiving to do a meet and greet which greatly decreased our hesitation about using someone else to watch our fur baby. Madie went above and beyond what we could have asked for. She was professional and extremely kind. She cared for Stella as if she were her own. We will definitely be using her again! Cannot recommend her enough.

About: My pet care experience consists of having a dog throughout my childhood and adult years. I've always loved the companionship of owning a dog and also visiting or babysitting families and friends' dogs/cats. With having a dog comes a lot of responsibility and attention whether that's feeding, letting outside, physical activity, and training. I'm experienced in all of those qualities. The pet care that I will be using through the new dogs and cats I meet are the basics of giving treats, going for walks, and playing fetch or ball. Those basics are important and useful for dog caregivers because any dog would love the attention and care that you are giving them unconditionally. I'm also experienced in grooming with bathing the pet if needed. Whether that's outside with a hose and soap or inside in a bathtub. Dogs are my best friends and should be treated with love and companionship therefore I would treat the dog and make sure they are happy and comfortable but also safe and calm at all times. My schedule is very flexible and in the case of babysitting or walking a dog, I will be attentive and responsible. Since I currently have a dog at home I take her outside frequently, stay outside with her and walk around the backyard or throw a toy and play fetch or even just sit in the grass and give her belly rubs. My daily routine consists of letting my dog outside and hanging out with her off and on while also letting her have time to rest and chill by herself. My weekly routine is the same as my daily routine aside from additional car rides, pup cups, or cousin visits with other dogs. The safety, trust & Environment of the care for the pet in my home and or my client's home will consist of making sure all doors are shut when entering and exiting the home or garage. Also making sure the dog is on a leash and well equipped when walking through a neighborhood. I also have a fenced-in yard so I'm experienced with fences and the proper precautions if needed. I can easily create your dog too if needed. Also water supply and refilling the water bowl as needed and giving supplements or medicine also. Also will have the clients contact information in case of emergency.

About: I love my dog (10years; Hiro) and I will treat yours as my own. From 24/7 all around care and attention: Diet, exercise, interactive play, traveling included, bathing/grooming, and medical care. All injuries are researched and attended too with remedies at home and if required, vet visit. Vet visit only with consent, if required. Contact me as needed, messaging/pictures will be provided. Food, potty needs, bedding/crate is taken care of. Advised: if special needs food/allergy/attention, please bring what your animal needs with them, extra charges will apply (if I have to go to the store, I will have a receipt) Daily. Hiro follows me everywhere. Hiro is my own dog, he’s a golden retriever mix with Great Pyrenees, he’s picky about when he eats his own food. I expect your dog and or cat will be different and have its own personality. As for how your animal fits into my daily will depend on how it goes. Most animals love me, knock on wood. I will keep you posted the whole time. The first time I had Hiro boarded I requested a video. It’s understandable. Your pets are like children. Crate training and potty training provided, if needed. Will need dog paddings. I love my dog and I will love yours as my own, depending on what your dog needs, we can manage and arrange things.
