About: I adore dogs so much. I have helped raise 4 dogs from puppyhood and I haves cared for senior dogs as well. I have tackled potty training, basic commands, and a few neat tricks. Your dog will be treated like absolute royalty with me, my favorite thing is pampering my own beautiful pups. I have never met a dog I don’t like and I’ve always lived with dogs so I’m exceptionally comfortable around them. I currently work mostly from home and I’m a part time dance teacher in the fall and spring. I can make myself available almost any day besides Sunday. I have two dogs, one 10 months old and the other is 4. They get to go on walks, drives, adventures to the dog park, and more. I treat dogs like kids honestly. We gotta burn energy and then make them feel comfy and loved.
About: I have taken care of my family and friends fur babies for two years both in my home and at their home. They entrusted me to feed and walk them while they were away. Additionally, there are discounts provided for two or more pets to be cared for and loved during your time away. Dog bathing is provided for an additional fee, if interested, in the comfort of your home so your pets are refreshed before you arrive home to them. My time at home has allowed me to love and care for my own animals, but to also provide a loving and nurturing environment for yours as well while in my care. Safety is number one in our home! Additionally, I have a fenced in yard and two dogs of my own to easily make your fur baby feel welcomed, loved, and cared during their time with us. Please understand that I do not stay in the home of others due to that I have animals of my own that need their mama home to take care of them and assist with their needs, but I am still available for house visits upon requests.
About: Hello - I am Annie and I am 25 years old from Rhode Island. I have dogsat for families throughout college in colorado area. I have a 5year old Old English Sheepdog who is about 75lbs back home and a 60 lb goldendoodle puppy now. He needs about 1-2 hours of exercise a day so I understand long walks / playing in parks, etc. I am usually gone 6a - 5p at work so I try to avoid caring for dogs during the week with my dog at home. I would prefer to do more dog walking services or daycare on weekends so our pups can play, have a fenced in backyard so they can run around together.
“This is my 2nd time hiring Emma for daily drop ins on my 2 cats while I was away. She is wonderful, highly communicative, and my cats love her (my skittish one was sitting on her lap after a few days!) I recommend her to friends and will request her the next time I go out of town.”
“Casandra is prompt with communicating. She is a true dog/animal lover. Our two dogs imediatley took to her. She is confident, kind and caring. This is our first time leaving our dogs overnight, we were nervous. Casandras pictures and attention to details with notes reassured us we made a good choice with dog care. We will use her again! Thank You Casandra!”
“Delaney is great! She's watched our BMD a couple of times now and she always keeps us updated and sends pictures. She also took care of my parents elderly lab on her most recent visit. Highly recommend Delaney!”
“Mia has been superior for us. Not only did she take an hour to meet and greet with us, she leaves great notes, is prompt, helped us in a pinch on late notice, and puts up with our two puppies antics. Would recommend Mia for any dog sitting. She impressed us with her knowledge of dogs and puppies.”

I have been dedicated to animal care from a young age, always showing a strong passion for helping animals in need. Over 15 years ago, I began working with rescue dogs while searching for the right dog to adopt.

I continued fostering dogs until 2018, by which point I was caring for five of my own, along with chickens, goats, horses, ducks, and other animals.

I currently work M-Thurs 10-hour day shifts. I walk my dog on a leash, unless im in an area that is safe for him to be off leash (Chena or Tanan Lake areas.) I do take my dog to the dog park for some socialization as i believe it is very important to keep him social with other dogs and humans. My dog does sleep on my bed. As far as taking care of clients pets, I will respect their wishes with how they want their loved one taken care of.
