About: Lifelong dog owner who treats every pet like family. Patient, attentive, and playful, with strong communication and dependable care for puppies, seniors, and energetic companions alike. Available Fridays through Sundays with flexible scheduling. Weekday availability is negotiable around my college classes, and I communicate clearly to ensure dependable, consistent pet care. 🐾 In my home, my pets receive a clean, calm environment, supervised playtime, consistent feeding schedules, potty breaks, affection, and close attention to their comfort and safety and so will the client.
About: I've taken care of different types of breeds of dogs in all stages of life. From my own pups to my friends beloved pets, I have 10+ years of experience. I currently work from home, so I am available to board your beloved pet in my house weekdays and weekends; or if you prefer your pet feels more comfortable in their own home. we have a fenced in back yard, but usually I take my pet out for a walk to use the bathroom; not a long walk but maybe to the end of the block and back. leashed of course. I feel it gives dogs a little more satisfaction to walk around and sniff while looking for the perfect spot to do their business. Of course if I am in a clients house, whatever makes their pet feel safe/good, I will always follow their preferred instructions.
“Megan was a fantastic help! She responded quickly to our last minute request, was incredibly friendly and communicative, and provided wonderful care for our pet. I appreciate her attention to detail in her updates and the many photos provided. We will definitely be booking again!”

About: I have worked in a doggy daycare that required us to not only manage the dogs but also teach them how to properly socialize with other dogs! This sparked my love for dog training and once I got my dog Turtle my journey to becoming a dog trainer began! My mission is to help you and your dog’s life be more fulfilling together in any way I can. Whether that be teaching you guys how to communicate better, being there while you’re working to support them, or taking them out on adventures I will do my best to make it worthwhile! I can’t wait to meet you but specifically your pup! 🙏🐶❤️ I work two part-time jobs with one of them being a dog trainer. This means plenty of time and skills that I can use to not only be there for your dog but also help them learn! When it comes to your pets care you tell me what is best. You know your dog better than I ever will, which means you know their discomforts. My job is to care for them to the best of my ability and I fully intend to do so by avoiding any extra stress!
“Taryn was great! Sent lots of updates and photos and was very responsible and reliable. I highly recommend her and hope she would want to look after my cat again sometime!”

“Pam was great from our very first contact. She suggested meeting at a neutral spot so we could meet and the dogs could meet. We met at Petsmart. The dogs got along great too we proceeded to book Ozzie's 2 night boarding stay. Her house is very nice with a huge yard and a walking trail that borders her property. She took Ozzie and her dog Redford on several walks. I knew right away that Ozzie would be considered as part of the family and would be treated well. He made himself right at home and I was very comfortable leaving him there knowing he would be comfortable and well cared for. I will definitely use Pam again next time we have to go out of town. Highly recommended for overnight pet boarding!!”
“Emily is a dream come true! She is kind and loving and you can tell that she loves animals and taking care of them. We felt completely at ease leaving our 2 cats in her care while we were away. Thank you for everything Emily!”
“Eli cared for my boys Symba and Eli for 12 days. I was so blessed to have been able to choose him for this visit. The notes he sent daily told a beautiful little story. I found myself waiting to read the next one🥰🥰🥰. His caring spirit shows through his work. One of my boy's is named Eil!!! 🥰🐈And on that alone , I knew this was perfect. Blessings to you Eli, until next time...Carolyn”

“Juliana boarded my cat Pistachio for a few days. Everything went great. She sent pictures throughout and drop off and pickup were quick and painless. Will definitely book her services again.”

About: I have developed a strong set of skills when it comes to providing care to animals. With a deep love and understanding of their needs, I am dedicated to ensuring their well-being. My ability to administer medications to animals, whether it's a dog, cat, or any other pet, is a testament to my commitment to their health. Additionally, I take pride in my capability to care for both senior dogs, offering them the attention and support they require as they age, and energetic puppies, providing them with the playful and nurturing environment they need. Overall, my diverse range of skills makes me a reliable and compassionate caregiver for all animals. My schedule for working with animals is quite flexible and pet-friendly! I'm free on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, which allows me ample time to dedicate to our furry friends. On weekends, I'm available before 11 in the morning and after 6 in the evening, ensuring that I can accommodate a wide range of pet-related activities. Mondays and Wednesdays are also open for animal adventures, with my schedule freeing up after 2 in the afternoon. This flexibility allows me to be there for our beloved pets whenever they need care, attention, or a playmate. I'm well-versed in various types of leashes and collars, making me a confident and responsible pet caregiver. Whether it's a standard leash, a harness, or a gentle leader, I know how to use them safely and effectively to ensure a comfortable and secure experience for the animals. I'm also well-acquainted with the rules of crate training, which is a valuable tool for both discipline and safety. Additionally, I pay close attention to any extra special care instructions for the animals, such as dietary restrictions, medication schedules, or specific grooming needs. This knowledge and attention to detail ensure that I can provide the best care possible for our beloved pets, meeting their individual needs with care and expertise.
“Alix was awesome! She was very communicative during my work trip and sent some really sweet pictures too! My Dottie looked more excited to see her than she is to see me sometimes 😂 absolutely would recommend Alix to anyone needing assistance with their pets! Thank you, Alix!”
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was a small girl! I was born into an animal loving family and have raised and cared for foster dogs and family pets all of my life. I am currently attending university to pursue a doctorate for veterinary and would love to care for your pets the way I would any of mine in the mean time! I currently attend University to become a veterinarian in the future, but because of that I do have classes M-F. I also have a restaurant job, but since I’m currently on summer break, I’m more open for business when it comes to doing what I love the most. In my own home I always make sure my dogs are cared for, happy, and fed. I will do the same for your animals! I will make sure that they are fed properly, played with, and treated with gentle care the same way I’d want anyone to care for mine.
