About: Ever since I was born there was not a time our family did not have a dog growing up (mostly labs). Love hanging with dogs and was always around to walk or watch the neighbors. In the summer of 2022 we adopted our own Golden Retriever Bruce who is here to help us with any dog sitting or walks I work from home so someone is typically always around. We love to go on long walks exploring the lake or new parts of the neighborhood with our pup We have a fenced in yard with a big dog to keep yours company. Can separate easily separate or crate others too if needed. By a lot of open space for plenty of walks
About: I love pets! The cuddling, goofiness, and love. I love training pups too - personally, I’ve trained my pups to sit down, rollover, shake, stay, and so on. It’s as rewarding for me as it is for them! I’m currently working full-time and am able to work from home, if needed. This allows me to care for your pets throughout the day and I also have time both after work hours and during the weekends to give your fur baby all the love and attention they deserve. I will read your instructions thoroughly to ensure that your standards are met and that I approach your pet with patience. All of our pets have their quirks and individual preferences. I’m here to learn all about them and help both you and your fur bby live your best lives.
“Joy is a fantastic dog sitter, she provides timely updates and follows all instructions regarding care and feeding. I have no concerns at all when she’s watching my pup. I would highly recommend her services!”
About: I grew up with cats and rabbits but raised and trained a puppy a few years ago (who we still cherish), I've been a go to dog and cat sitter for many friends and family members and am happy to adhere to whatever routines and training techniques each animal is accustomed to! I also have experience with all sorts of dogs as a volunteer at the local rescue. I'm currently working part time and my husband works nights so there's almost always someone around to tend to the cuties! We do have our own medium sized dog so they would need to meet first ideally but she's always gotten along with every dog we've watched so it shouldn't be an issue! We generally take our dog out at least 5+ times per day but can be accommodating to whatever demands your pet has. We have a fenced balcony in our apartment and plenty of space for the pets to play. Additionally, we have a fenced in dog park in our neighborhood (two actually) and we maintain a state park pass that we can take up to 3 dogs at a time to for a fun daily adventure!
