“I could not have been happier about Laura cared for Roscoe (my dog). She shared with me on a daily basis what they were doing and how he was doing. I am certain there was a definite bond made between them. She was absolutely great. Thank you. Cindy”

About: I currently have a Corgi/Australian Shepherd! His names Theodore, and he’s 4 years old! I’ve been taking care of animals since I was young! I’ve had everything between bunnies and hermit crabs to my current Shepherd. I’m more than willing to help with training and everything along those lines as well. I can also teach commands in German/French as well! I can do just about anything you may need/require! I am also a licensed cosmetologist and can also tend to your dogs coat unlike any other! I currently work full time remotely as well as attending LLCC full time online, even still prioritizing my dog since he’s my world. My world revolves around his! I walk him for at least 2 miles a day already! I’m already a super active and motivated person due to my own dog’s high maintenance needs! I currently actually only offer doggy check ins, and walks! Sorry for anybody’s Inconvenience! To ensure pets care on walks I always carry a water bottle full of water, treats, and toys to accompany your dog on their walk! If asked we can even work on outside training! During my time with your animals are my number one priority.

“Dominick house sat and took care of my 5 year old sheepdog for 9 days while I was on vacation and he was amazing! I am always nervous about leaving my dog with anyone and it was all very last minute, but he arrived early and was very polite. He sent me pictures of my dog and made sure he had daily cuddles. I came home to a very happy pup and the house was exactly as I left it. Would absolutely recommend him if you’re looking for a responsible and responsive rover!”

About: Hi, I’m Rob! I work from home, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, love, and care throughout the day. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have several years of hands-on experience as both a foster and pet sitter. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels—from high-energy puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. I’m comfortable with all parts of pet care, including: • Administering medications (oral, topical, and even injections) • Following feeding and potty schedules closely • Crate training and leash walking • Helping anxious or shy dogs feel safe and settled I take pride in creating a calm, consistent environment that helps pets feel right at home. Whether your dog needs extra playtime, belly rubs, or just someone to chill on the couch with—I’m happy to meet them where they are. 📅 Availability: I’m available for overnight boarding. (Please see my calendar for availability and message me with any questions) I’m also available for doggy daycare between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., with flexibility outside those hours on a case-by-case basis. 🚗 Pickup/Drop-off: Available for an added fee, if that makes things easier. 🐾 Bonus: My 6-year-old son stays with me half the time and absolutely loves dogs. Your pup will get an extra playmate for backyard games, fetch, and couch snuggles. I know how important it is to find someone who truly cares about your pet—I’d love the chance to give your dog a safe, fun, and loving home-away-from-home! Since I work from home, I’m able to maintain a consistent schedule for the pets I care for. I make sure they get regular bathroom breaks, plenty of free-roaming time both inside and outside, fresh water available at all times, and daily walks to get their energy out. I’m very familiar with the zoomies-to-napping cycles, and I’m here for all of it. Pets are treated like friends and family here. I’m calm, consistent, and firm when it comes to guidance, but never use any kind of violence or harsh correction. I follow the training and commands you’ve already put in place, use the harnesses, collars, and leashes you provide, and only feed the food and treats you bring. My backyard is fully enclosed with a 6-foot privacy fence and one secure gate that requires opposable thumbs to open—so no escape artists here! My own Doodle is crate-trained and uses the crate overnight and when I’m away. I also use baby gates throughout the house when needed to keep pets safely separated or out of areas they shouldn’t be in. You’re welcome to bring your own crate, ask if I have one available, or let me know if your dog is house-trained and prefers to roam freely. I’ll make sure they have a safe and comfortable space either way. You’ll also get regular pictures and updates from me throughout your pet’s stay so you can feel connected and confident while you’re away.

About: Hi, my name is Alexa. I love all animals but especially dogs! I grew up always having them. I have house sat for someone with one large and one medium size dogs before and it went very well. I made sure to give them their medications when needed. I have lots of free time at the moment so I can give your pets plenty of love and attention that they deserve. I am willing to take them on walks, check ins, or overnights. I will be more than happy to send you updates and photos if you would like. I look forward to taking care of your furry family members! I am currently waiting for a background check to be completed for a a job, so I have full availability to take care of your fur baby. I live in an apartment. so I will be more than willing to care for your pet in your home, take them for walks outside, go potty and play in the yard.

“Amanda came to stay with our puppy and he absolutely adores her! She is friendly and reliable and I would recommend her anytime you need someone to care for your pets while you’re away!”

About: I have 5 dogs in my household that I have trained and taken care of when my family goes out of town for soccer, I am more than happy to cater to your babies as well! I am currently working part time at a trampoline park, so recently business has been slow. Many people are asking for more hours, but there is so much the business can do.

My personal dogs eat twice a day, but depending on how the clients feeding schedule I can feed as wanted. Water is always available to them. They will get play time with there potty breaks as well.
