About: With 10 years of experience, I excel in dog training for all ages, from puppies to seniors, and provide personalized care to meet each pet’s unique needs. Pet care is an integral part of my routine, seamlessly blending with my daily activities. I’m dedicated to providing a nurturing and enjoyable experience for pets, ensuring they feel safe and loved. I ensure a secure and clean environment for pets in my home or yours. My focus on safety and trust guarantees that every pet receives top-notch care and comfort.
About: I offer a personalized boarding experience by caring for one dog at a time. This allows me to give your pup my full attention and keep the environment low stress. I do allow occasional short overlaps (a few hours to less than a day) during transitions, but never more than that. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my priority. With over 19 years of personal dog experience, I believe dogs are family and deserve the best life we can give them. I’m a stay-at-home mom with two kids (1 and 4 years old), and our furry visitors often enjoy the extra love and attention from them. If your dog enjoys children and a homey atmosphere, they’ll fit right in. We’re home most of the day, and our baby proofed home makes a safe space for both kids and dogs! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom. My children and I are home for most of the day, so there’s plenty of time and attention to give to the dogs in my care. Whether it’s welcoming dogs into our home or making time for walks and visits, I’m available throughout the day aside from the occasional errand. Our home is a safe and loving environment, making it a great place for dogs to feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to cater to your pet’s specific needs to ensure a successful visit. I can take your dog for a walk, play in the yard (and clean up after them), or enjoy indoor playtime. After our meet and greet, I’ll ask you to fill out a detailed boarding form to make sure I fully understand your pet’s wants and needs. I’ll also send you updates and photos to keep you informed about how your dog is doing!

I am currently not working during summer break and won’t be going back until the school year! I am available during the summer weekdays and weekends! I have 3 cats at home who stay indoors, I am able to keep them inside for their safety as they are my family. They are treated very well. My cats are kept clean, played with, enjoy their window time, and their litter boxes clean. I will make sure things are kept neat in the home and things that can be a danger to the animal will be put away.

“Not only is Sam my partner, but she has so much love to give and is amazing with Milo. She loves him like her own and he reciprocates with loyalty. For the last year he has been doing things I’ve never seen him do in the 9 years he was alive prior; he makes her follow him outside to play after he does his business in the yard, waits outside her shower, runs onto her lap once we sit outside, checks to see if she’s with me every time I get home, sleeps guarding the bedroom door, and he finally can withstand a car ride! Oh, and Milo hates the groomer so Sam learned how to groom him so he can still see, run, play, and go #2 without his coat getting in the way.”
“Rose is the ABSOLUTE best!! She took care of my susu and made her feel very comfortable and happy! I would 100% recommend her to anyone who wants their fur baby to be in good hands. She gave her her medicine, changed her litter, made sure she had food and water and even maintained her morning routine and spent quality time with her. Can’t say enough about how much of a jem Rose is!”
About: I have taken care of my family friends dogs for years, often ranging from elderly mini poodles to energetic border collies. I also have my own dog, however, because I am away for college she is currently not with me. I am also a Division 1 Athlete so I love taking them out on walks and having fun with them. I am available on mornings of weekdays and all day on weekends, because I am a full time student-athlete. In addition, late evenings of weekdays work well for me as well. I will often take pets on walks and make sure they get adequate exercise. Having a pet of my own, I understand how important nutrition is to your pets and will follow whatever plan you have for them. In addition, I also acknowledge how important it is to have a clean pet, and can wash your pet.

“Nat was amazing with our cat, Tenley! We loved the various photos we received daily, making us feel better about leaving our baby while we were on vacation!”
Kailyn R.
“Kailyn is the most caring and dependable house/dog sitter we have ever had. We always have had 3 rambunctious dogs who need lots of love and attention and Kailyn provides. She is dependable, always prepared and most importantly my dogs love her and she loves them. Whether it is for a drop by, or a stay over, Kailyn is always ready and prepared. After a stay over my dogs are well taken care of, my house clean and the dogs seem disappointed on our return as they are truly attached to Kailyn. Kailyn has a very calming approach and our 3 crazy dogs actually are calmer in her presence. You can tell she is a dog lover. Oh by the way, we always have 4 grandchildren who we watch with her help and she is also great with kids!!!”

It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such capable hands.”
