About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do it’s who I am. I’ve had pets my entire life and can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a dog in my home. With years of hands-on experience, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I work from home, which means I can give your dog the attention, playtime, and companionship they need throughout the day whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or 24-hour boarding. Your dog will be treated with the same love and care I give to my own — always safe, always loved, and never alone. I’ve had animals my whole life and can’t recall a time I didn’t have a dog by my side. I currently work from home, which means I’m able to give your pet the love, attention, and companionship they deserve whether it’s for a walk, a visit, or 24/7 care while boarding. I live in the peaceful Walden Lake area with access to several beautiful walking trails perfect for getting fresh air and exercise. I also have one dog of my own, a 10-year-old Jack Russell mix who is my absolute baby. I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I give him because they deserve nothing less. I work from home, so your dog will never be left alone and can get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced-in yard, giving your dog safe and easy access to potty breaks, fresh air, and playtime as often as they need. Plus, I live in the beautiful Walden Lake area with access to scenic walking trails for daily adventures. Whether it’s for a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, your dog will be in a home full of care, comfort, and companionship just like they deserve.

About: We have two dogs, one is seiko who is an 14 year old Siberian husky-female.She has tamed down a lot over the years but our second dog blaze is a 5 year old husky mix male who has a lot of energy. So we are well versed in a high energy dog. I used to foster for rescues and have dogs at the house. We have a 6ft fenced yard. We are also trained in diggers as we have two ourselves. We walk our dogs multiple times a day and could easily include your pup. We both work from home, 8:00 am to 4:30pm. If we take on a dog to board or sit for the day we would be home the whole time they are in our care. We work full time from home. We would have no reason to leave your dog alone while they are in our care. If one had to leave, the other care taker would stay to be sure we are there for your dog. We have a fenced yard and two kennels If dogs ever needed to be separated. We however would only ever kennel for the safety of the animal and would have no other reason to do it. Our home is your dogs home. We have no issue with them on our furniture unless you don't want that in that case we can block furniture. We work Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm EST. We have the ability before and after our shifts but work from home; therefore, if we board your animals, we are with them while working. We have a fenced yard and can crate your animal if needed. Our dogs are friendly and would keep your animals company. We do daily walks, as well.

I love to boop a snoot, throw a game of fetch, and make every pet feel like they’re the center of the universe (because they are!). Whether your fur baby is playful, shy, or just in it for the belly rubs, I’ll meet them with love, patience, and a whole lot of cuddles. 🐾💚 I am a high school teacher on summer break and a lifelong animal lover. With school out for the summer, my schedule is wide open and I’m soaking up every moment with furry friends! Whether your pet needs belly rubs, a feeding buddy, or a snuggle session while you're away, I’ve got the time and love to give. I’m reliable, nurturing, and happy to keep your pet’s routine feeling just like home until I’m back in the classroom this August. 🐾💚 When I care for pets in your home, I treat it like my own — with love, respect, and attention to every little detail.
