About: I've been a dog owner for 20 years. Over the last 10 years, friends, family and neighbors have entrusted me with taking care of their dogs. 2 years ago, I took on the venture of fostering dogs in my home. My experience with them has been with puppies through adult dogs. Special needs dogs are welcome too, as I have experience with dogs with seizure disorder and other chronic issues. During the time the foster dogs are in my care, I work to establish a routine, learn basic commands and household manners. I work from home Monday-Friday. My pets (and fosters) stay in my office with me when I working. I am able to care for your pets during my breaks, lunchtime and after hours. My weekends can be a bit more busy, but I can be flexible in working with your needs. I have a small fenced in yard for the dogs to stretch their legs, enjoy the outdoors, and of course relieve themselves. Indoors, I do have crates available if your dogs needs some alone, quiet time. My dogs have their own room to offer a safe space for them. The dogs are never left unattended to ensure they don't get into something they are not suppose to. If watching the dog in your home, I will follow any instructions that you give to ensure your dog's safety and happiness.
“Frida was an absolutely phenomenal sitter and so sweet and loving to our dog Blaike. She treated her with warmth, kindness, and patience. Her dogs were loving and playful with our dog and welcomed her with open paws! Frida provided many updates with pictures and videos and let us know how thoroughly she was being cared for and enjoying her stay. Frida truly treats your dog like family and I highly recommend her as your sitter! We will absolutely be booking her for our next trip. Thank you so much Frida!!”
“Lisa and her family were amazing with my girls. I have an older chihuahua that was nipping at her when we got there. When I picked her up to go home she came out peacefully babied in Lisa’s daughters arms. My rambunctious young lab mix wanted to show me all the dog pools and had a great time playing with the rest of the pups. She’s keeping my girls again soon for a long weekend and I feel so comfortable in knowing they will be loved on and well cared for.”
“Ryan was great with Bongo and Bailey! He sent lots of pictures and videos, which was reassuring to say the least! Ryan's pooch, Stimpy, was also AMAZING with our pups and was so sweet and accepting. It was a great experience and we'll definitely be using Ryan again!!”
About: I grown up with many different pets, I would love to surround myself with more fur babies. While they are great supper system, we still need time away from them for many different reasons. Your babies will have my full attention when they are with me, if they like to play with toys or my puppy (date of birth 3/18/2022) will be a plus. I am able to provide medical care, walk, bath, game, and training reinforcement based on owners’ rule in order to provide consistent information for your fur babies! I am available and stay at home from Monday to Thursday. I am not working during this timeframe, so I can provide the attention that your fur babies require. I would love to meet with your fur babies first before the service for the safety of your babies and mine. This will help the fur babies to get familiar with me and my puppy before the long hours of hanging out without you the owner’s presence. Currently, I am working from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and is willing to work with your and your dog babies schedule. After communicating with you, I would like to make a clarifying questions if I do, I’ll have them and I try my best to meet the ask of you.

About: We have had a dog or dogs for over 20 years. My husband and I both grew up with dogs as well. Our two dogs have been with us since they were puppies and both of them attended three levels of dog training classes. I work part-time very early in the morning and we spend a lot of time at home because my kids are homeschooled. There is usually always someone at home. I will do as much as I can to accommodate the dog owner’s preference in care for their dog. We have two dogs that can play with your dog. If your dog needs to be in a crate I can accommodate that. Our dogs are not allowed on the couches and chairs but my children do let them sleep in their beds.
“Madison did such a great job with Cooper! His excitement, new environment jitters and eating too fast caused him to vomit the first couple of days. Madison handled it like a pro, she seeked guidance from the vet who confirmed what seemed to be happening. She adjusted his food intake to help him keep food down and made some other changes which fixed the problem! Goose, their dog, was a wonderful big brother to Cooper and they all gave him love like he was their own. Cooper was taken on lovely walks on trails and to the dog park and Goose also shared his antlers with Coop which is now his favorite thing to chew! We were very happy with the care given to our crazy little kid and Madison went over and beyond!”

Chris F.
“Chris is one of the best pet care takers I have had the pleasure of working with. He is one of few people that I can count on, and that I would trust to care for my dogs while I’m away. I trust him not only with the safety of both my dogs, but also in my home. It’s hard to find people you can trust nowadays and Chris is one of few! He leaves the house in great condition and follows directions perfectly. My dogs can be reactive at times and Chris handles them and my directions wonderfully. I feel safe knowing they are with him!”
