“Taylor was great about communicating with us about the day and pick up times. We felt super comfortable leaving Bear and Winnie with her, and they must’ve had a great day playing because they both slept GREAT last night!! We’d definitely use Taylor again!! Thanks so much!”

About: My wife and I have grown up with many pets and farm animals. We love dogs and want our kids to learn and love pets as well! Throughout our lives we have had Labs, Golden Retrievers, Coon Hounds, Spaniels, Beagles, and Huskies. We love spending time with pets and only will board one family’s dogs at a time so you can be sure they get the attention they need. Our kids are 8 and 10 and will also provide love and playtime for your dog. Our yard is not fenced, but your dog will be walked a minimum of once in the morning and once at night with bathroom breaks every 2-4 hours. Melissa my wife works from home and will with your pet during the day. We also have a large 4x8 foot kennel which your pet will stay in when they are not in the house. We do require dogs to potty trained and not have a history of aggression as they will be with our kids. They also need to be trained to not chew on non toys unless they are still puppies which we fully understand and can work with! We look forward to having an opportunity to meet you and keeping you pets well loved! My wife and I have vast experience with pets and pet training. I will be giving the dogs a majority of the walks in the morning and night, and my wife works part time from home where she can be around to watch your dog during the day. We also have two kids that love to play and give dog’s attention and love. However, there are breeds of dogs are kids are allergic too so we will have to review your dog before agreeing to watch them. We have a large yard in a quiet neighborhood. However, it is not fenced. We will walk your dog a minimum of 2x per day, with bathroom breaks every 2-4 hours. Your dog will spend much of their time in our house, or in the large 4x8 kennel we have. We do require the breeds of dogs that we let in our house to not be breeds our kids are allergic too. For pets in our house we also request they do not have extensive history chewing on things they shouldn’t. We’re also good with puppies as we understand they are still learning!

“Tammy and her family are awesome. Our guy had a nice big fenced in yard to run around in and he had plenty of attention and playtime. Communication with her is quick and easy. She is also very good about asking for info on my dog when she needed something and giving us an update as the day went on. Definitely planning to rebook with Tammy.”

I am available weekdays/weekends & overnights to care for your furry friend 🐾 We live in a great, peaceful neighborhood with plenty of backyard space for your pup to exercise, play & have plenty of potty breaks. I have undivided love for animals and believe they deserve the best care. I have a young boy that love dogs. Our home is very pet friendly.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their routine, and I do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m reliable, attentive, and always treat every dog with care and patience. I maintain a very flexible routine and am home the majority of the day. I do volunteer a few hours daily, but I’m otherwise available to care for pets, provide attention, and keep them on their normal schedule. Dogs in my care will have a stable environment, regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every dog in my care. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and kept in a clean, secure space where they can relax and feel at home.

“My dog loves Kate! She took good care of him and kept me updated on how he was doing.”

About: Nestled in the quiet countryside, I offer loving, in-home boarding for dogs and cats in a peaceful, natural setting. With plenty of fresh air, daily walks, and attentive care, your pets are treated like family while they’re away from home. Able to care for animals at all stages in their life. I love taking long walks with canine companions! Your dogs will not be unleashed on a walk unless your specify! A client’s cat or dog fits naturally into my daily routine because their care is built around their needs, not a rigid schedule. Each day follows a calm, predictable flow—morning feedings, medications if needed, fresh air, walks or supervised outdoor time for dogs, and quiet check-ins or play for cats—mirroring what they’re used to at home as closely as possible. Throughout the day, I weave in one-on-one attention, enrichment, rest, and observation, so pets aren’t just “fit in,” but thoughtfully included in a rhythm that keeps them comfortable, engaged, and well cared for from morning to night. Tailoring your services starts with seeing each pet as an individual, not a “one-size-fits-all” guest. Begin with a detailed intake or meet-and-greet to learn the pet’s routine, personality, energy level, medical needs, fears, and preferences. From there, you can adjust care in a few key ways: • Routine-based care: Match feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, and sleep habits as closely as possible to what the pet is used to at home. • Personality-aware handling: Offer extra quiet and space for shy or senior pets, more structured play and exercise for high-energy dogs, and gentle, low-stress interactions for anxious animals. • Health-focused support: Follow specific instructions for medications, mobility limits, special diets, or senior care, and keep careful notes so nothing is missed. • Environment choices: Decide whether a pet thrives with social interaction or prefers solo time, indoor lounging, or outdoor exploration in your country setting.

“Louie loves going to daycare at Karen’s! He’s so excited to socialize with Bella and run around the play yard. I can always tell he gets plenty of exercise because he snoozes soon after we get home. Karen goes above and beyond with being flexible and is fast with communication. Thank you Karen for taking care of Louie!”
