About: I’ve taken care of dogs, my whole life, including my own. We had a senior dog that needed a point in his life to have diapers so we know how to medicate and take care of senior dogs also. I do work a part-time job very close to home. So if I need to come home or feel the need to let them out again, it’s flexible enough for me to leave if needed. I have two dogs so we have a fenced in yard and we also have a petitioned room with crates in the room, but my dogs only go in there if they want to rest. I do not crate my dogs, but you’re welcome to if that’s the routine for your dog.
“Another great visit by Mike with Roscoe! He really understands how to work and play with Roscoe who can be a bit picky. Roscoe is always happy and relaxed when I get home.”
“Did a great job with my dog and was willing to go above and beyond!”

About: I have such a huge passion for creating an environment where your pet can be happy and healthy. No matter what kind of age or disabilities or temperaments, I can handle all. Ever since I could remember I have had pets all my life, everything from cat to dog to rabbit and even birds, and each and every one of them has lived or is still living the best life. I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule can be a little messy but I will have time to take care of your pups wants and needs! At my home I have a fenced in yard and have many crates, and at your home as long as I have directions on how to care for your pet I can work in any environment.
About: All my life I have owned and been taking care of animals. I love all kinds of animals and will treat your pets as my own. I am flexible and communicative, and won't consider my job done until both you and your pets are satisfied. I work part-time, but with a flexible schedule that can adapt to your needs (with a small advance notice.) Afternoons are my preferred time, but I can do any time on Tuesday and Thursday. I am very comfortable around all kinds of animals and will work to build trust with you and your pets. I can house-sit and dog-board, and clean any potential messes your pet(s) may make. I communicate very clearly and effectively, and will make sure that you are comfortable with my care.

Thelma K.
“⸻ To Whom It May Concern, I am pleased to write this reference for Thelma Klase who is seeking opportunities as a dog sitter for small and medium-sized dogs. I have had the pleasure of knowing Thelma for more than 30 years and I can confidently recommend her as a responsible, caring, and trustworthy individual with a natural love for animals. Thelma provides a warm, family-friendly environment that makes dogs feel right at home. Her clean, securely fenced-in yard offers plenty of space for exercise and playtime, ensuring that dogs are safe and happy during their stay. She is attentive to each dog’s needs, whether it’s administering medication, following a special diet, or simply offering extra cuddles and companionship. I’ve seen firsthand how dedicated she is to the animals in her care, treating them as if they were her own. Any dog owner would be lucky to have someone as compassionate and reliable as Thelma looking after their pet. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. Sincerely, Charles Klase”

“Aiden is attentive, responsible, and trustworthy. He has cared for dogs since he was 7 years old. He currently cares for our two dogs- Cammy , a one year old golden retriever with boundless energy, and Bella , a ten year old chihuahua who requires special medication and needs. Both love the time and attention he gives them! Aiden has house sat and been walking dogs for friends and neighbors for many years, and he genuinely cares for his furry clients.

Laura S.
“Laura was an absolute gem when it came to caring for my furry friends and home. Her calm and quiet demeanor created a peaceful environment for my pets, and they seemed to instantly adore her. Laura was very reliable, friendly and self sufficient. Laura's experience with pets was evident in her interactions with my dogs and cats. She seemed to have a natural ability to connect with animals, almost like a pet whisperer. She was patient, gentle, and always ensured their well-being. My pets have never been so relaxed and calm after a sit. Additionally, Laura was meticulous about caring for my plants and maintaining the house, leaving everything in perfect condition when I returned. Highly recommended.”
