About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 6 years and have encountered all types, from the couch potatoes to the ones who want to play nonstop! I am home full time so I am available any day and any time for drop off and pick up. Being home full time also means I will be available for your pet at anytime they need me throughout there stay at my home. I have a sturdy 100 ft dog runner that has held very large dogs. However,if your dog does better on a regular leash just let me know and I can leash for bathroom breaks instead. While at my home your pet is my only priority and I am happy to suit any needs they have.

When caring for a client’s animal companion in their homes, I always make sure to conduct a consultation (meet and greet) so that I am introduced to the companions before providing services. This ensures that your animal companions feel safe and secure with someone they are familiar with while I am in their home. This is used to establish what boundaries and needs your animal companion needs from me while you are away. Safety is the most important aspect of my job for your animal companions. All services are base rates.

“Alexandra J. was an exceptional boarder for my very active Boxer Ghost. She was responsive to inquiries and booking, was flexible with scheduling and with accommodating Ghost's specific food requirements. Very importantly her dogs and other boarders provided my very active girl with plenty of exercise. And also importantly, she sent photos and videos of Ghost over the week that I was gone. I would recommend her highly. Judy”

“Lily had such a great time with Sarah and her puppy Benny! I felt very comfortable leaving Lily with Sarah while we were away for 5 days. She was clearly well taken care of. Their backyard is perfect for dogs to be able to play safely. Sarah kept us updated with messages and fabulous pictures of the pups together. We will definitely rebook with her in the future!”

About: I have over 12 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, including large dogs up to 115 pounds. I’ve owned and raised dogs from the puppy stage through their senior years, so I understand how different their needs can be at every stage of life. I have experience with puppy training, reinforcing basic commands, crate routines, frequent potty breaks, high-energy dogs, and keeping younger dogs entertained and active. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, more frequent breaks, or simply some extra love and attention. What sets me apart is the amount of individual attention I’m able to provide. I work remotely with a very flexible schedule, so I’m home almost all day and can adjust my routine around your dog’s normal schedule. For boarding, I only take one family’s dog(s) at a time, so your dog won’t be in a house full of unfamiliar animals competing for attention. My home is also pet-free, child-free, and non-smoking, giving your dog a calm and comfortable place to stay. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking, sleeping, training, and crate routines so their stay feels as close to home as possible. And yes, dogs are welcome on the furniture here! 🐶❤️ I work remotely in marketing with a very flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I’m home almost 24/7, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My schedule can easily be adjusted around each pet’s normal routine and individual needs. Whether your pet is used to early morning walks, specific feeding times, frequent puppy potty breaks, or just lots of companionship throughout the day, I’m happy to accommodate their schedule as closely as possible. My availability is very open, including weekdays and weekends! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. In my home, it’s just my partner and me with no children or pets of our own, so your pet will have a calm, spacious environment. I only board one family’s pet(s) at a time so I can focus on their needs and help them feel comfortable and at home. My yard is unfenced, so dogs will always be leashed and supervised when outside. Inside, pets are welcome to get comfortable and are allowed on the furniture unless you prefer otherwise. I’m also familiar with crates and happy to follow your pet’s normal crate, feeding, walking, sleeping, and potty routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both your pet’s routine and your space. I’ll follow all instructions closely, make sure doors and entrances are secure, keep dogs leashed during walks, and give you updates so you know how your pet is doing. I’m happy to discuss any special instructions, behaviors, or safety concerns beforehand so I can provide care that is tailored to your pet.

“Nina was fantastic with our dog — age got lots of attention, love and exercise. Definitely use her if you need a pet sitter!”

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with two dogs, two cats, and even turtles and birds. Throughout high school, I cared for my neighbors' dogs and cats and regularly looked after my extended families pets while they were away, this gave me years of hands on experience with animals of all kinds. I have experience with fostering animals so I have taken care of blind dogs, dogs with diabetes and other disabilities that I am familiar with. I currently work part time at a grocery store, I don’t get a lot of hours so I have a lot of free time! I love animals so I make time for them at all times of the week :). I have a dog park at my apartment that many dogs i have watched loved to run around and play with the other dogs in. My apartment is also very spacious so cats and dogs have plenty of roaming space. I often make sure I get used to any animals environment fast, check out their favorite spots and make sure they’re as comfortable as possible while I am around them!

“Salma was great! Luckily we live close to each other so drop off and pick up was easy. Her large apartment fit ellie just fine and she sent pictures throughout the day. Ellie was tired once she got home, so she got plenty of exercise. I'd recommend Salma to a friend.”
