About: I have taken care of chihuahua’s to Pitbulls and have had dogs since I was a child. I have boarded dogs and regularly do house visits to let dogs out to potty during the work week. I am experienced in understanding dog behavior and communication patterns. I work from home 5 days a week and care for my own 2 dogs that get to spend time outside in our backyard every few hours. I have a large fenced backyard and have experience with animal care. The dogs will spend a majority of their time indoors, but frequently have supervised outside play time in the backyard (weather permitting). Dog walks can also be provided at no addition cost. At night, I have a large kennel inside they can sleep in with blankets. Daily pictures and status updates can be sent as well if desired. Pets toys are welcome if you would like to bring your own.

About: I use to run a ranch full of all sorts of animals, and was basically the vet there as well as a horse trainer. I currently have 4 dogs and a cat . I love to see new animal friends and visit with them and see how happy they get when going for a walk or just throwing the ball. I'm athletic and go for mountain bike rides with my dogs and go on hikes as well, also am strong enough for those pups that like to pull. My favorite part of the day is being around my pets and family. I am a stay at home mom who homeschools my child so it can be great to go for walks with pets and get outside. I will care for the pets by loving them and listening to the owners requests . My pets get treats sometimes and outdoor play everyday as well as walks ,weather permitting of course.when it's cold outside we tend to just snuggle up on the couch next to a fire.
About: I would love to dog sit for you! I have a dog of my own and I’ve helped raise dogs all of my life. I love playing with high energy dogs as well as lounging around with the older ones.

I work a part time job that allows me to have flexibility so I am available anytime with the exception of 2-4 hour jobs that I may have in the mornings/afternoons on some days. You can trust me with your fur babies while you are gone! I love animals and I would never hurt them. I have helped take care of animals my whole life so I can handle tough situations. I am also very responsible in remembering medications that your pet may need and when to feed/ take out to potty/ and play with them.
About: Hi, I'm Jordan! I have a lot of experience caring for pets. I have been around animals of all kinds throughout childhood and adulthood. I believe our pets are part of the family and deserve to be treated with kindness, respect, and a lot of love. I enjoy walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Whether it's snuggling with or training a puppy, caring for a senior dog, keeping pace with an energetic dog, or giving extra reassurance to a shy pet, I meet each animal on a level that they're comfortable with. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, visits, and cuddles without rushing. I make it a priority to build pet care into my day, so your pet will always get consistent attention, love, and care! In my home or a client's home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy. I follow the routines they're used to, such as mealtime schedules, favorite playtime activities, or cozy nap spots. I provide plenty of love, attention, and care, while also keeping a close eye on their health, safety, and well-being. My goal is to make sure pets feel secure and loved while their family is away.
About: I have worked with many animals of many ages. I have raised kittens from a few days old and have experience caring for older dogs as well I currently have a full time 9/5 job so weekends mostly work for me as well as some weekday evenings. That would fit my schedule best. I have cared for dogs in other people’s homes before. I enjoy doing what the pet loves and is most comfortable for them. I cannot care for pets in my home at this time.

Philip N.
“I have a very high-strung Maltese terrier who is recovering from an injury, and I was worried about leaving him with a new dogsitter. Philip came over to introduce himself and had no problem with my copious instructions. I knew Chester would enjoy his winning personality. Philip kept in touch with me during my absence, and I arrived home to find a calm little dog. He used TLC in taking care of my home as well, and fit in harmoniously with the very close neighbors. I would not hesitate at all to engage him for my next trip.”
