About: My loving and personal touch! I really care about making pets feel comfortable, happy and safe. I also enjoy communicating with pet parents about their pets! Pets have always been a part of my life on and off. I've also spent a lot of time with family and friends pets. I love animals! Plus, my attention to detail and fun personality makes me the best choice for pet parents! I’m working from home currently. I’m so organized and loving, that pet care just naturally blends in. Plus, spending time with pets can be such a relaxing and joyful part of my day! I can create a cozy space for them to relax, make sure they have fresh water and food, and give them plenty of love and attention. Depending on their activity level, I can also take them for fun walks or play with them in the fenced in backyard to keep them active. Just being attentive and creating a loving and safe environment for each pet really makes a difference!

Our dogs Norman and Lucky had the best care and time with Nikki when she stayed at our house. We can not say enough great things about how happy we were with how Nikki took care of our fur kids. Nikki was great about updates daily with pictures. Knowing our pups were so well cared for while we were on vacation let us enjoy our time away. We came home to a spotless house and very happy dogs. Nikki Went beyond to make sure dogs and house were well taken care of. Great experience for dogs and us all the way around. More than 5 stars happy. Lisa

About: I have had multiple dogs for decades. Dogs just seem to love me. I guess it's because they can tell I love them so much. I'm really good at taking care of things for your dog. I love walking them and playing. I don't even mind picking up the poop. I'm currently working part-time as a house cleaner. So I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of fur babies. Evenings and weekends are almost always open. I treat all dogs with kindness and respect. I would want others to take care of my babies that way. I always double check the food and water. If there are extra things needed, I make sure to get those done as well.

About: I live on a farm, have 1 border collie named Maximus who is 12yrs old, 1 Catahoula Mrs. Katniss that’s 10months and train dogs as well. I have a 115 acre farm area where your pet can run and play! Awesome place for a dog and Max/Kat loves visitors. They can run around, play, throw rope, whatever your pet enjoys. If your pet likes to be active I certainly have the area for it! Your pet and I go on daily walks and daily awesome adventures. If needed I have GARMIN tracking collars to place on dogs that may venture away during adventures, just let me know and I’d be more than happy to let your furry friend borrow one of mine! It will have an awesome time and I’ll send daily photos of our cool trips to your cell phone. I will be the only person handling and taking care of your baby. Pets staying 7+ days will also get to enjoy basic obedience training a few times a day. Our goal is to send pets home better than they left.

However, we stand by the fact that you get what you pay for. Please consider that a professional trainer will be with your pet 24/7 while in my care* We are here to provide great customer service and care for pets, not engage in a price war. I work from home, train dogs, and will be with them 24/7. Your dog will receive continuous love from me and my wife. It’s a great environment. If your dog stays inside at your house it’s inside at mine. I can keep them in a kennel in the living room with my other 2 dogs.

Whitney is phenomenal! I’m so thankful and blessed to have found her! Being new to the area and no knowing anyone, I was sick with worry about leaving my fur-babies with a stranger. Whitney eased my mind from the moment she first messaged back. From the meet and greet all the way through, I never felt rushed or silly. Whitney sent pictures every day of my trip and kept me updated. When I got home, my babies were happy to see me, but it wasn’t even like I’d been gone a week. It was obvious that she cared and loved on them so well while I was away.

About: First off, we work with you! Pricing is just a base, definitely contact us to discuss what you are needing and we can figure out a price that works for us both! We are a mature, dedicated couple turning our lifelong passion for animals into a full- time retirement journey. My (Jennifer) background includes years of working with a wildlife rescue and operating professional mobile petting zoos. Kelly has helped me with petting zoos since late 2023. We are both comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and species of animals. We currently volunteer at our local animal shelter, walking and socializing dogs of all temperaments. We are also studying and learning basic obedience training and practicing with the dogs at shelter as well. And Kelly has recently finished dog grooming school and is working as a groomer. With both of us focused on your pet, someone is almost always available for potty breaks, playtime, and companionship! We follow your house rules and medical instructions to the letter. We treat your pets like our own "grand-animals" - with extra spoiling and total safety. 🥰 Find us on FB - Keener Pet Services We are flexible, but I do expect our business to grow and for our schedule to start filling up. We will always do what we are able with any available time that we have. Unfortunately, we are unable to bring cats or dogs to our house. However, we can bring caged animals to our house if that kind of care is needed. We have experience with indoor bunnies, guinea pigs, geckos, hedgehogs, ferrets, bearded dragons, and snakes, just to name a few examples of animals we could bring home with us. In your home, we would request a detailed outline of what you would need done and how you'd like us to do it. We respect people and their property, so we would only go into the common areas of your home, and any areas you've requested service in.

I’ll take care of your babies as if they were my own… I’d own them all if I could! I work full time during the week, but I am available Friday-Sunday for boarding, or walks any time of the day! I’d love to get to know your fur babies! I have a fenced in backyard, with a doggy door to my back door- that can easily be closed off/shut.

About: Hi! I’m a 19-year-old animal lover with a lifelong background in caring for pets. I’ve grown up in a home full of animals, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I am also comfortable administering medications and bathing as requested. I currently have very open and flexible availability, which means I can be there when you need me—whether it’s daily visits, last-minute bookings, or extended care. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! Pet care is my full-time focus, so my daily and weekly routine is built entirely around the pets I care for. This allows me to maintain consistent schedules, provide attentive visits, and be flexible for each client’s specific needs. I plan my days to ensure every pet receives reliable, unhurried care—whether that’s sticking closely to feeding times, allowing for quality play and enrichment, or simply being present for companionship. Because this is my primary work, I’m also able to accommodate midday visits, extended stays, and last-minute requests when needed. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in a familiar, low-stress environment. I stick closely to their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and adjust my care to fit their needs—whether that’s lots of play and attention or a calm, quiet visit. I also help keep things clean and tidy, including litter boxes or outdoor cleanup. I always aim to make each visit feel relaxed and positive, and I send updates so you know your pet is happy and in good hands.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. Growing up with pets taught me how to handle all kinds of breeds, personalities, and needs from feeding and walking to bath time and snuggles. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to love on their fur babies like they were my own. Whether it’s playful pups or older pets who need extra patience, I show up with love, reliability, and experience. I work full-time, but I’m still available for evening walks, drop ins, and weekend care. My schedule stays consistent, and I always make time to give your pet the attention and care they need. Whether it’s playtime after work or overnight boarding on weekends, I’ve got you cover I don’t have a fenced yard, but I live near a big open field and have a dog park right in my complex plenty of space for safe outdoor play. I’m mindful, attentive, and follow your pet’s routine closely. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.
