About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own large dog as well as pets belonging to neighbors, so I'm comfortable with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I'm a mix of energetic and calm, which helps me adapt to whatever a pet needs. Whether that's a fun, active walk or a slow relaxed pace. I’m a college student's home for the summer, which makes my schedule very flexible for your pet's care. I am available most days for walks, drop-ins, and cat visits. I want to make sure each pet is getting my full attention during each visit. The only set times I’m unavailable are Monday, Tuesdays and Thursdays mornings from 8:30am to 10:25am while I'm taking a summer course to help with my degree. Outside of that, I’m free to adjust to your pet’s routine and ensure they get the care and companionship they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always make safety my top priority. I follow your pet’s routine exactly as you describe it and make sure to double check doors, gates and harnesses before and after every visit to make sure your pet stays safe. I like to keep your home just as you left it, lights, locks, and routines are all respected. I’m also mindful of keeping things clean, especially around food and litter areas. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed and cared for while giving you peace of mind that both your home and your furry family member is in good hands.

“Elena is fantastic! Gunner and Izzy both absolutely love her already! I was concerned initially about having a stranger in my house when no one is home but, those feelings quicklys dissolved when I saw how amazing she was, and how quickly they took to her. I would highly recommend her to eveyone!”

About: I will offer the love and attention your animal deserves! This family (me, my husband, and our two children, ages 16 and 13 all dog crazy and will be tending to your baby(ies) with love and care. We always treat our canine visitors like they are family. I have experience with a diabetic animal as well, and gave insulin shots for four and a half years to our Pug, Bill. I promise you will get photos and updates during your pet’s stay, and I will not compromise on keeping them safe and secure at all times. We only watch one dog from one family at once, but I will watch two to three dogs from the same family. I will bathe, nail trim, and brush any breed. I will walk them at least twice a day, for about a mile each time, if your dog can handle that physically. I always listen to your animals needs and will honor them. We have a family pet named Ted. He is a three year old Pug. He gets along well with every animal he has ever encountered. We would insist on a new boarding client coming over for a meet and greet first. I would be able to care for your pets in our home. We do not have a fenced yard. I typically will put pets on leashes for their potties and walks unless the owner tells me they are comfortable with them going out with me into the yard for a potty unleashed.

About: I’ve loved animals all my life. I’ve dog sat for neighbors for days at a time and walk my own dog as well as neighbors dogs frequently. I am available majority of the time especially in summer. There may be times i am unavailable for a certain time for vacation or certain hours when school begins. My yard is fenced, my dog loves to play outside so we will play with her for hours at a time. She gets lots of attention as we treat her as family.

“Laurie is a very important part of my beloved Frisbee. Her updates give me joy during my stressful days at work. We truly love her knowledge on how to ensure our pet is on the right path to a healthy balance.”

About: I’m owned by a dog who never leaves my side, so I understand that your pup isn't just a pet—they’re a companion. I bring that same 'velcro' level of attention to your home, ensuring your dog feels seen, heard, and loved while you're away. My daily routine is built around being mobile and available. Because I don't host dogs in my own home, my 'workday' is entirely dedicated to traveling to yours. This allows me to give your pet 100% of my attention during our scheduled time without the distractions of other animals or chores. When I enter your home, my priority is making your dog feel safe and excited. I start every visit with a calm greeting to assess their mood. Whether they are a 'velcro dog' who wants immediate cuddles or a curious explorer ready to hit the pavement, I adapt to their energy level.

“Hannah is outstanding to work with, always on time, and my dog Asher is always happy to see her.”

About: I have taken care of all different kinds of dogs ranging from small Shih Tzus to Great Danes. I have two dogs myself that I've had for 6 years now and I had dogs growing up, so I am very well versed in both younger and older dogs. I have had to help take care of puppy litters before and I really enjoy working with dogs. My dogs are very high energy, so I have learned to love playing fetch and taking long walks multiple times a day. I am able to match their high energy; however, I am just as able to work with lower energy dogs. I believe that all dogs deserve the best care and love possible, so I hope to work with people who want the same for their dogs. I also have experience working at the Fredericksburg Squishy Face Crew which is a non-profit animal shelter. I worked at their intake warehouse playing with the dogs outside and cleaning. I don't currently have any other immediate obligations, so my schedule is very flexible, and I am open most weeks. I have my own car, so transportation to and from houses is never going to be an issue. I am willing to work with you to find a schedule that works best, and I can schedule my personal obligations around that. I would care for your pets based on your description of their eating habits, energy level, and the environment around the house. I would be happy to take walks around the neighborhood, or if this is not possible, I am happy to use my car to take your dog to a park to walk. If you would rather us stay at the home, I would aim to still play with your dog if prompted by playing with toys. I am happy to feed your dogs with whatever material is provided and make sure that they have constant access to water and the bathroom.
