“Another great visit with Aryn! She did a great job sending updates and giving my pup all the love I wished I could’ve. I think he was a little sad to leave when I picked him up lol”
About: I was previously working full time as a kennel technician at an animal hospital. I am also experienced with cats and larger animals such as horses and livestock! I am in school on track to become a certified veterinary technician within the next couple of years. I am passionate about animal well-being! I have a very flexible schedule and will do my best to be accommodating and available for you and your pets! I am excited about the opportunity to gain even more experience with all different types of temperaments and energy levels! I can feed, administer medication (oral, injectable, and topical), socialize, and snuggle up with your fur baby. I can also put your pet in their crate on my way out if that is what you would prefer!
“Great Experience, very accommodating and very flexible. i had to drop my dog after the long drive (16 hours) and he was definitely hyper but Tricia took great care of him. with all treats and great walk and some good catch fames.. will defiantly book again”
“Rachel was great with Kimble. He’s a big dog (160 lb English mastiff) and she took great care of him. It was so nice to be able to enjoy our vacation knowing that he was getting great care and was getting loved the way we would. We definitely will be using her again.”
“Reise was kind, considerate, and communicative. She took great care of Cedar and was able to fit us in on somewhat short notice. She shared numerous pictures and feedback during Cedar's stay. We feel fortunate we found Reise!”
“My dog Rylee had a great two nights with Tracy. Loves having other dogs to play with. She also loves the home environment much better than a boarding facility. Tracy will be my first choice anytime I need boarding for my pup.”
“Kayla and her family made our dogs feel at home. They were well cared for, we got daily updates and pictures. I really appreciate knowing how they are while I’m gone. Our dogs were happy to see us, but went back in the house to say good bye to the family before saying good by to Kayla and her family. Thank you all for the care and love you gave our fur babies.”
“Emma was so kind and friendly. Piper was very happy to see her. My dog is a nervous one so that is really important for her to be happy to see someone. I got pictures of Piper during her stay and that made me feel good knowing she was being cared for.”
“Taressa was wonderful. I was very nervous to leave my dog with someone for the first time, but Taressa reassured me by sending me tons of pictures of her throughout her stay. I would definitely use Taressa again if I was ever in need.”
About: I will provide a trustworthy, fun, and educational environment for your pup while you are away! Let your vacations and unexpected pop-ups in life be worry free when it comes to your beloved animals. I have been pet sitting for years, and love what I do! Providing outstanding care for your animals comes natural to me. I also do profso I can take care of all your needs! Please give me a call to schedule a meet and greet with your fur babies! I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! See you soon! I currently don’t have full time availability depending on your dogs needs.

I can pet sit dogs in my home on a case by case basis. In my home all fur babies get to use and abuse furniture and have beds! They get lots of play time and I do provide a naturally educational and structured schedule. I have 5 years of professional pet training under my belt. I even offer some grooming services!
About: I love to play with and see doggies . I'm starting this business because my son and I love dogs so much and we just want to be able to walk or pet some because let's face it it wouldn't be good for the pup with my busy schedule going to college and 2 jobs. I've adored dogs since I was a little girl have opened 4 raised 1 from a puppy (dauschund) rescued one (German Shepard pyraness) great mix by the way. I volunteered at the shelter when I was 12 walking dogs and cleaning kennels . I take care of m cat every day .I brush her , clean out her pet litter , she gets filtered water and Buffalo cat food . I would allow the animal to walk around my home if it was friendly enough too or put them free in the basement w a baby gate up. But we would go for a walk get lots of pets and play w each other if he/ or she wanted too .my cat is friendly w dogs and has her front 2 paws de clawed
“So, we all love our dogs. I personally think my dogs are the best dogs in the world, and worthy of the very best care, and someone who will allow them to feel loved when we need to leave them behind. The reality is that we never know exactly what is happening with our beloved pets when we entrust them to someone else. My fur-babies can’t tell me. So the best we can do is look for someone who we believe is trustworthy and caring. What do I believe? I believe that Amanda and her family are caring and honest. This family has a great capacity for love, and my dogs feel loved when they stay with them. Amanda and her husband have their hands full caring for 5 kids, work schedules, and volunteering in their community. But they also have the energy and organization skills to excel in handling their responsibilities. My dogs have 5 kids/teens to play with them, and that also makes them happy. Their new house currently only has a small enclosure in the back yard. But my furbabies were apparently taken out on a leash regularly. I believe them when they say that they will be enlarging the fenced area in the near future. I do not hesitate to recommend Amanda and her family. If your dogs need a family that takes the time to play, cares for them, and takes time to snuggle with them, I believe this family is your best bet.”
“Ruby and Leia loved their time with Brittany and family (even the kitties!)! We enjoyed working with Brittany and appreciated all the updates throughout our dog(s) week long stay. She sent us updates when Ruby was a little sick and helped reassure us that she was doing better! She sent photos and videos throughout the week to let us know they were doing well and we so appreciated that! We plan to reach out to Brittany for our future needs.”
“Hannah is absolutely wonderful with Boomer! I book her for drop-in visits, and Boomer is always happy and tired after a nice walk with Hannah. She is super sweet, and she's also been helpful in actively working with Boomer's social skills. She is very knowledgeable of animals, has a lot of experience, and you can tell that she genuinely cares about Boomer's well being. I know he loves when she visits, and I'm very thankful to have her!”
