“Skye was such a great communicator, keeping us update to date with photos. The pups were not even that excited about our return, which tells me they were very well attended to! We will definitely book her again in the future.”
“Our fur babies were taken care of with love and fun! Mackenzie was an absolute joy allowing us to enjoy wedding festivities without worry and anxiety. Mackenzie was prompt, knowledgeable, and communicated throughout the process above and beyond! She sent us pics while we were away, just a great animal lover!”
About: +++Peace of mind for pets and their people+++ I am a former vet tech and a lifetime dog/cat/farm animal owner. I work from home full-time at my 20 acre little farm. I am happy to host any size dog(s) or provide excellent care for your pets at your home. My former experience as a vet tech causes me to naturally keep an eye on overall health and wellness of your pets. I have trained my own dogs in obedience, scent work, herding, agility and dock diving. In the past I've had some luck training my cats to play fetch but let's face it - cats will be cats and I love them for it <3 Puppies and senior dogs are more than welcome. My 18 month old Aussie/cattle dog mix is stable and friendly and loves to have other dogs to play with. Farm visits/sitting is welcome as I have life-long experience with all farm animals and horses. I am available for drop-in pet care at your home from 7:30am to 9 pm (flexible if needed). Pet care at my home includes fetch, "find it" games, splashing in the creek, hiking, and snuggling. Of course, I adapt the activities/schedule to whatever best suits your dog. We also take lots of outdoor breaks for fresh air and play, but if your dog is a couch potato I do that too :). Dogs are welcome on the beds and couch, and I also have extra crates if your pet prefers to sleep in one. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is always to be respectful of their routine and space, while caring for them just as you would. At my home, I have 20 acres with a fully fenced dog yard. I operate on loving kindness and positive reinforcement. Meeting new pets just brings me joy. Please note that I do require a meet & greet before hosting dogs in my home. Thanks!
“Amethyst was very kind and loving with our senior girl, Muki. Upon our return Muki had enjoyed several outings and was clearly fond of Amethyst. Senior dogs can be a challenge with medication, feeding habits and potty schedule! Amethyst was wonderful!! We highly recommend her services.”
“Oh gosh - where do I even start?! Tyler is incredible, to say the least. Kind, caring, trustworthy and understands dogs, and their quirks, on a deep level. We are beyond happy that our boy Marvin has a friend in Tyler!”
“Melissa did a wonderful job taking care of my dog and home and kept me up to date throughout the stay. I'm pretty sure I came home to my house in better condition than when I left it! I would definitely book with her again!!”
“Britney did an amazing job dog sitting in our home for multiple days. In the past, our dogs have experienced much stress when we have left, but they were so completely comfortable with Britney. They were carefree and happy while she cared for them, walked them, gave them medications. She went above and beyond not only in the care of our dogs, but also our home. Our floors were cleaned, the poop was pick up, dishes were done, and even the bedding had been cleaned. We are so excited to have a reliable, professional caring for our pets in our home. We cannot recommend her enough!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, consistent communication, and adaptability in handling unexpected situations. My commitment to maintaining the highest standards of care ensures your home is not only safe but well-tended in your absence. I have an entirely open schedule I’m available 7 days out of the week Sunday thru Saturday and I’m also available in last minute circumstances I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for pets. In both my home and clients' homes, I maintain a secure, pet-friendly space free of hazards. I establish trust through regular feeding, walks, and playtime, ensuring pets feel loved and well-cared-for. I also adhere strictly to any specific instructions or routines provided by the pet owner to maintain consistency and comfort for the pets.
About: I have always had at least one dog in my family for my entire life, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. I recently moved here by myself and am missing my pups. I’m looking to give all of my pent up puppy love to the dogs in the neighborhood! I work 5 days a week from 7am-4pm, typically with Monday and Tuesdays off, plenty of time for an evening walk and dinner any day of the week! Mondays and Tuesdays are free all day! I want your dog(s) to be the main focus of my time while I’m with them, as this is the only time I can satisfy the dog lover in me. There is no dog too big or too small- I have taken care of labs, boxers, bulldogs, poodles, dobermans, shiba inus, pugs, chihuahuas, and I hope to keep adding to the list! Back home, my family and I currently care for a three legged boxer and a sassy shiba inu
