About: I have had dogs my whole life and one thing I have learned is that they deserve all the love in the world! No matter the dog or care, I will treat it with so much love and care!

About: I've grown up with dogs in the household and currently have 2 in the house. I have fostered dogs, including puppies in the past, all of which were adopted out. I have been put in charge to watch other families and friends dogs while they are away. I do work 2 other jobs but have free time that I would love to spend with animals.

I live on a quiet street with a nice backyard and a fence on both sides of the house to separate us from the neighbors.

About: My husband & I both work during the day so your pet would be alone from approximately 730a-3p. We frequently go for walks after work or play ball in our modest back yard. I grew up with dogs in my home and always had the responsibility of caring for them. I have worked with a variety of breeds and sizes and am comfortable with them all. I am familiar with separation anxiety. My husband and I have a dog and cat in our home! I believe that everyone should have a quality, safe, & AFFORDABLE option for their pet when they are away! I have a high energy young labrador so after work I typically take a long walk or go to the park to play ball. My pup is friendly to other dogs and has no hesitation sharing his toys, food, or humans. I allow dogs on the bed but will follow your house rules to ensure consistency. For drop ins I am available in the early mornings and after 430pm to stop in and care for a dog or a cat. For boarding due to my husbands schedule your pup will almost never be alone! I have a cat and dog in my home and they are both up to date on all vaccinations. Colt, is a beautiful lab with the sweetest temper. I have a modest yard with plenty of room for a dog to run but do not have a fence.
About: I've had pets (dogs of all sizes, cats, fish) since I was 7. I currently have a dog of my own. I've trained her. I am always happy to watch, play, feed, bathe, and walk dogs. I am a stay-at-home dog owner, which means taking care of your dog is my main priority! Doggy day care and boarding is always available. I usually accept all dogs. I only refuse service if the dog has previously bit me and/or continued aggression. I have one very friendly female dog (spayed) who loves to make new friends and spend time with old ones. I keep dogs typically in the living area, uncaged. I only cage dogs if the owner requests it, and in a different room from the other dogs. I do have another helper (my fiance), as he also enjoys dogs very much. My walking route is usually around Glen Park, I change it up as needed to boost the adventure for your dog(s). **Water will ALWAYS be available and replenished for your dog(s). Food schedule based.**
About: Experienced and responsible dog sitter with 20 years of dedicated care. Passionate about fostering a safe and nurturing environment for furry friends. Proud dog owner myself, which is why it’s important to me that your pet is treated like family. I’m committed to providing the utmost respect and kindness to your pets. Eager to share my love for animals and ensure their well-being while you're away. Right now, I am transitioning careers, and am currently a stay at home mom. I have open flexibility and my schedule is open! I will mark my calendar on days I am unavailable, but the majority of the time I am home.

“We only needed Maddie to check on our dogs x for 1 day. Maddie was great! She sent pictures of the dogs every time she checked in. Was there at designated check-in times.”
“Monica was great! Communicative and patient with all my details and directions for my diabetic kitty, my senior kitty and my hyper dog. I will definitely be requesting her help again! Thank you Monica!”
About: I am currently training to be a certified veterinary technician and can use my knowledge to ensure your pet is as safe with me as possible. I love to raise/ care for animals so even though I do it as a job. Just a little extra thing I can do on the weekends when I don’t go to school. Puppy/kitty proof home like a baby and always like to familiarize myself with the environment before I care for a pet. I will also want any contact information and medical history of each pet to understand them.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I grew up with 6 other siblings and we always had animals around. I lost our beloved family dog about two years ago and I do not want to commit to raising another one since I like to travel. But on my down time, I really miss having a dog to love that’s why I thought this would be a great option! I recently retired so I have a lot of flexibility, and a lot more time to spend at home and to care for your dog. It’s just me and my wife that live in the home and she would be available to help if needed. We live in the country on a one acre lot so your dog would have a big area to roam! I am fine with the pet staying inside my home if that is what works best for you. I am happy to use a crate if that’s what’s preferred!

I will ensure your pets are safe and secure and well attended to and will have my undivided attention! I will keep you informed on their progress throughout my time with them.

Chelsea M.
“If you need someone to animal-sit, Chelsea is an amazing, kind, compassionate, and loving towards animals person! She listened excellently to our requests, provided loving care, and took pride in the things she would need to do to take proper care of our pets. She even took care of our chickens without hesitation! We don't kennel our pups because it causes to much stress for them. I'm so thankful that we found Chelsea as she treats them like they are her own. Bonus, she took pride in making sure the house was in order! Thank you Chelsea She is the favorite sitter for our Nikki girl!”

Renee K.
“Renee is a beautiful soul! She has a heart for animals, and they know it! When our daughter passed away we had to leave our homestead (very challenging to find and trust someone to care for it so we rarely leave), we were blessed to have Renee stay at our homestead and care for our 2 dogs, a cat, 16 hens, a mean rooster, and fish. All of our animals loved her immediately. I was so comfortable leaving everything we have in her hands, especially through such a traumatic time. She even made our pups special treats! I know she loved on them because she would text when she would feel a lump or a growth, concerned if it was an immediate vet visit. So loving and so caring. Our pups grieved for a week after she left! If you need a trustworthy, reliable caretaker for your animals, Renee is your person and she comes with a BIG heart! We are so grateful to her. We didn't have to worry about anything at home. A thousand percent recommend Renee!”

Carley was very accommodating to Adelaide’s needs. It takes her a minute to warm up to people when she realizes Im not going to be home for a few days. I would definitely recommend Carley and use her again for my next vacation.
