“Laura is fantastic with "my schnauzer girls". Laura went the extra mile in not only caring for our pups but our home and all that goes with that. She sent us texts and pictures during our time away and we so appreciated her thoughtfulness. Highly recommend Laura and her caring way with animals!!!”
“Bethany is our go-to dog sitter anytime we travel! She provides daily updates with pics/videos to let us know Luna is safe & happy while we are away. Would definitely recommend!”
“Mia was phenomenal. Our poor baby Maya had an upset belly the whole time and Mia was so patient and loving. She cooked food for her and picked up medicine from the vet. She even slept on the couch for a night so Maya could ring the bells to signal she needed to go potty. She played outside with them and gave them SO many cuddles. She gave me so much peace of mind on my vacation. I never felt like I had to worry and I got to fully be present on my trip. We love Mia so much and are so grateful we found her. Can’t recommend her enough.”

“Taylor was a god send for us. We had arranged for a previous sitter, not affiliated with Rover, who backed out about 10 days before our departure date. Having used Rover in the past, we conducted a quick search, found and met with 3 very qualified candidates. Taylor was the clear choice, and she was absolutely great. She and Lorelei, our soft wire dachshund, hit it off immediately. Taylor texted us and sent pictures while we were away. We would heartily recommend Taylor to anyone and will not hesitate to use her in the future.”

“Laura was great with the dogs. She came on short notice and met us and our dogs. She was very friendly and did a great job with our fur babies. We will definitely use her services again. She is highly recommended.”

About: Thank you for checking out my profile! I have loved dogs since I was a child. I have had my first dog for 5 years now. He has been a challenge but it has made me a better dog mom and handler. I want to share my knowledge of reactive dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs that just need a little extra help with obedience. I strongly recommend the use of dog training tools. I always want to set dogs up for success! I am currently a stay at home dog mom. I can make any day of the week tailored to your dogs needs. Unfortunately since my dog is very reactive he will not join me when walking other dogs. But that’s okay, we want dogs to be set up for success! I have a large yard, unfortunately it is not fenced. However, I would be fully dedicated to helping train your dog for leash work, recall and boundaries. My dog is fully trained to be off leash and would love to get your furry friends to the same point! I have a beginner agility course as well which is very fun! I am also willing to go to local trails and parks weather dependent!

As a farmer, I have a flexible schedule to provide for your needs & have been a farm-sitter for many satisfied folks! I work part-time (have those days blocked off my pet care calendar), so I will be able to give 100% of my time to your pet(s). I am available during the day to walk your pet(s), give them a potty break, play with them, feed them, show them attention & so on. I am also available for doggie daycare in my home where I can provide utmost safety & playtime. My care regimen is flexible & can be catered to individuals’ needs.
