About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and it’s still one of my greatest joys. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to two pups: Roxy, my 16-year-old toy poodle with a sweet but sassy senior personality, and Pickles, our affectionate long-haired Chihuahua mix who loves everyone—dogs and people alike! Over the years, I’ve also cared for many friends’ and family members’ pets, including dogs with different temperaments and medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications and giving each dog the attention they deserve. I love going on walks and always enjoy bringing the dogs along for fresh air and exercise. My family enjoys having a house full of furry friends. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, they’ll be treated like part of the family in our home. I work from home, so when I board dogs, I am available to them all day and night. I also have my summers off, so I can make even more time for the dogs I walk or board in the summer months. In my home, safety and comfort are top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks, and I’ve set up gated areas inside to provide quiet or separate spaces if a dog needs downtime. I have two friendly dogs who enjoy the company of other pups, and my two children are gentle and respectful with animals—they love helping give our furry guests lots of attention and affection. I always take time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet space, I’m here to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.

“Heather and Jennifer were genuinely kind, caring, and attentive to Gizmo and Cinci, who are senior dogs. This is my first time in 14 years using a dog walking service for the boys, and I am really happy that I chose them. They were very professional, responsible, and reliable!”

“Although he is new to this, Erica is great with Cooper. She is timely and allows him to get out his curiosity by allowing him a few moments to explore the world around him. She is very patient and ALWAYS sends the best updates and photos. We truly appreciate her!”

“Jennifer is an excellent and reliable individual to hire for all your pet walking and sitting needs! Always on time, responds to messages quickly, and puts in the extra work to show care for animals above and beyond a walk.”

“Adriane took excellent care of my little one! My girl can be nervous and a bit anxious but Adriane was able to bring her out of her shell and provide wonderful care. Will certainly use her services again.”

About: Here for your last minute doggy daycare & boarding needs! Greetings! My name is Trishelle & I look forward to meeting your furry acquaintances. I'm a dedicated and experienced small dog caregiver with over 3 years of hands-on experience providing personalized care for pups of all temperaments and energy levels. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, boarding, or doggy daycare, I treat every dog like family — because they are family. My specialty is caring for small breeds, and I understand their unique needs when it comes to exercise, attention, safety, and comfort. From daily walks and cuddle-filled playtime to stress-free overnight stays in a cozy, home-like environment, I ensure your pup feels secure, loved, and happy while you’re away. I am dependable, trustworthy, accommodating and flexible. Please inform me if your pet has specific needs such as a walking, food and allergies. I have a 2 year old miniature dachshund that is very friendly and gets along well with other dogs. We look forward to meeting you soon! Pet care is a central part of my daily life — not just a job, but a true passion woven into my routine. Each day is thoughtfully planned around the dogs I care for to ensure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Mornings typically start with walks or breakfast for any boarding or daycare pups. Throughout the day, I schedule drop-in visits, enrichment activities, playtime, and potty breaks based on each dog's individual needs. For daycare dogs, I maintain a structured yet relaxed environment with plenty of cuddle time, short walks, and rest breaks to keep small dogs feeling safe and content. Evenings are often filled with winding down, dinner routines, and sending photo updates to pet parents. I also build in time for cleaning, prepping meals, and maintaining a calm, cozy home environment. Because I focus exclusively on small dogs, I can tailor my routine to their specific needs — whether that’s a midday walk, medication, or just sitting with a lapdog who needs some company. Pet care isn’t just something I fit into my schedule — it is my schedule, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I care for my pets with the same love, attention, and consistency I’d want someone to give mine if I were away. That means providing a structured daily routine with regular meals, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I focus on creating a calm, clean, and safe environment, paying close attention to their behavior, mood, and health. Whether it’s keeping up with grooming, giving medication on schedule, or simply spending quiet time together, I make sure they feel secure, happy, and part of the family. I also believe in understanding each pet’s personality — some love to play, some just want to snuggle, and some need a little extra patience. I adjust my care to suit their needs, always leading with kindness and respect. For me, pet care isn’t just about meeting basic needs — it’s about nurturing trust and building a bond that makes every pet feel loved.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats, my whole life. I love all kinds of animals and treat them all like they’re my own. Your pet will be loved just like mine. I work very early in the morning at Costco so I will have plenty of time to take care and love your pets while you’re away. I have a very nice fenced in yard lots of room to run. I have a female lab named Harper, who would love a friend to play with while you’re away.

“Lady was excellent - she has trouble entering our apartment due to a front desk error but she was in contact with me and so patient. I'm looking forward to her meeting Lexie in the future for a walk!”

About: Your dog is in the right care! I had a dog for most of my childhood life and caring for him was my responsibility. So I know the ropes from personal experience and not just from research! I also understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet, because my family has needed sitters before too. I truly love animals and will treat your dog like my own. Feel free to reach out with any questions and concerns! I want to make sure you and your pet will be as comfortable as possible. I’m currently home for the summer, so your animal has all my attention! I am free for boarding any day of the week and walks at any time. Just reach out! I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible! This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from the owner. I also have a large grassy area behind my home where dogs can run and play as well as two crates available if needed.

About: Hii furr-friends & furr-parents 👋 . I’ve missed everyone oh so much and now that have more free times, I’m ready to start watching all the babies again. It’s been super lonely since we took a break from watching pets but we are back and soo excited ❤️ Here’s a little of our back story. I’ve been caring for dogs at home for about 7-8 years now. It really is a passion of mine. I’ve always like having a place complete different then an actual kennel. I always wanted something warm and cozy for my baby girl when boarded her, so I started doing this and absolutely fell head over paws inlove. Last year I lost Raven from cancer. This was the most heart breaking thing I have ever been through. I needed a break from the world. But now I’m really to be around all our friends again. I work in the mornings for a few hours while my fiancé is working nights. It allows someone to be home all the time with the animal. I have a fenced in yard and two for babies to keep your pets company. I can also keep them separated if necessary. I also have extra crates in needed.

About: Hi, Welcome!! As a dedicated animal lover, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I provide responsible, loving care so pet owners can feel confident that their furry family members are in good hands. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or simply giving them comfort and attention, I make sure every pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. I currently work Full time , Monday-Thursday. I am off Friday-Sunday every week. I am however, happy to make accommodation as needed, communication is key and I’m happy to help to the best of my ability! Services for boarding and house sitting are both welcomed. I do have 3 dogs of my own as well, but they are in a separate room gated off!

“Bridget is an awesome dog walker. Coal usually barks at new people and all he wanted to do was go meet her so I knew we were off to a good start. Bridget is knowledgeable and patient and we’d love to book with her in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: Size limit 20 pounds (adult size) for fun and safety (no large breed puppies). Your small or tiny dog will have up to 4 right-sized buddies to play with in my big securely-fenced yard. Professionally, I am a masters-prepared nurse and dog trainer who specializes in working with small dogs and puppies. I have worked with dogs professionally for more than 20 years, as a vet technician and dog trainer. There is no substitute for experience! I am very comfortable monitoring and managing dog play to keep everyone safe and happy, as well as managing special needs, giving medication, bathing, clipping nails, etc. Your dog will thrive with expert care from an experienced professional. I work from home and have lots of extra room on my couch for your little one! Your dog is most welcome to join us for couch time, walkies, and supervised outdoor play time in my large securely fenced garden. I am home most of the time, but I do go out to do normal things (the gym, errands, occasional social engagements). Please let me know if your dog is not crate trained. I do separate the dogs for safety when I Ieave the house, but can use gates or an ex-pen instead of a crate if that works better for your little one. I may be able to accommodate a dog that cannot be left home alone, depending on the specifics, please ask if this is the case. Your dog's safety is my first priority, followed by creating a fun and relaxing environment for your little one. You can relax knowing that your dog is in great hands and enjoying their own doggie vacation. I only accept dog-friendly small dogs under 20 pounds, so your little one will have size-appropriate buddies to play with! I manage drop offs and pickups with safety in mind, and I'm very happy to offer pick up and delivery to make your boarding experience as convenient as possible!

“Elliot saves our sanity and has helped so much with his skill set. Bear is a happier dog with Elliot in his life! Super reliable and a natural dog whisperer!”
