About: Hello fellow furbaby parents!! My name is Wendy and I love furbabies!!! I treat them all the same way I treat my babies. They are so spoiled they believe they are real babies. My goal is for your baby to feel like home, their home. I will send you pictures and keep you up to date on how your precious thing is doing during their walk or stay. I know the feeling of leaving them with someone else and I don’t want you to be worry one bit. I do not have rules and I will not crate them unless requested. I work at night so I am always home. As much as I love all babies equally I can only accommodate dogs up to 20lbs dogs for overnight sitting. I can walk any other weight range. Please let me know about any special requests, feedings, potty breaks, sleeping arrangements and or behavioral issues. I work at night 4x’s a week so I am always home during the day. My husband works during the day so he is home at night. I can create your furbaby if requested, I have 2 small dogs and have doggie gates to separate them if needed. I will take them on daily walks based on their schedule. Just let me know their preferences

About: Hello! My name is Olivia. I had two large Chesapeake Bay retrievers of my own growing up and throughout my whole life, I've never been without a dog! I love all animals and I believe that if a pet is part of your family then it should be treated with the kindness and the love it deserves. I will walk, brush, feed your furry friends, and give them an enormous amount of love. As someone who grew up around large dogs, I also understand the need for discipline and how to control an animal when a situation arises. I am not afraid of any type of breed and would love to take care of your pet, whether overnight or for a walk down the road. I am very dependable, passionate and want to give your dog the best experience when I take care of them. I also have a dog of my own, Doug! He is an adorable English Lab who is super friendly and would love to have a friend overnight. I run my own business, so I work from home. I am extremely flexible and can visit pretty much any hours that you need me! As a dog momma myself, I know how important it is for your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable. If you want me to stay in your home overnight to watch over your fur baby, I can do that! Every pet is different, so I'm flexible to do whatever makes you and your pet most comfortable.

“Highly recommend Natyah! I have found her to be very accommodating. She has been extremely helpful with letting my 2 boys get potty breaks at midday. I'm fairly certain the little pup loves his brief outside/kennel free time too!”


About: Throughout the past couple years I have taken care of all types of dogs. Sometimes it would be just watching them for a couple hours or even for a couple of days. I am able to give them baths, clip their nails, and brush them while in my care. I also give them enough time to play and get their energy out. I am currently working part time during the week so i'll be available during the day towards the evening and on the weekends. This will allow me to take care of the animals because I will be in the house a majority of the time that I am not working. I have a fenced yard as well as a dog off my own that would love the extra company. I let the dogs out at least 3 times a day and feed them about the same amount of times (unless specified otherwise) making sure they always have fresh water. I also take them on walks through the neighborhood and play with them when we are inside.

About: I have a background in babysitting children as well as watching their fur family members. This includes taking them on walks or letting them out, feed if necessary, treats, potty training, tender, love, and care, cleaning up accidents, giving medicine, etc. I watch my neighbors cat and guinea pig while they go on vacation and recently expierenced staying at a families home overnight to watch and take care of their 5 dogs for 1 week. During my time with the animals I like to create games we could play, take photos throughout the day for updates or of silly moments they have, tell stories, sing songs, read books to them, and the best part is of course showing plenty of affection and cuddles if they enjoy that :) They are our children and deserve the same love, praise, laughter, and joy we as humans expierence to. Home is where your fur baby is, forever in your heart ❤️ Loving animals fits into my routine daily and weekly currently as I am actively looking for a full-time/part-time job. A routine helps hold me accountable and consistent in building healthy habits such as animals learn as well. I care for pets in the clients home by ensuring all doors are closed fully and that any animal is not in proximity of the door when opening or closing. If cages are utilized and encouraged then will utilize when necessary, giving medication if applicable.

Please do not hesitate to give me details regarding your pet’s care as I’m more than willing to accommodate when appropriate!
