About: My family members are all animal lovers! 🐕 🐈 🐓 🐇 🐐 🐴 We have a small hobby farm. On the property we have horses, goats, 2 cats, chickens, quail, rabbits, and a goose! We have one indoor dog and 8 outdoor sled dogs. With more than 20 years experience with dogs we have raised many puppies through potty training, and senior dogs with special needs. One of our first dogs just passed this year at 18 year old! Our oldest daughter, Isabel, has a grooming station set up, and has done well for herself in the community grooming many breeds of dogs. She raises huskies, and runs them on our trails in the fall and winter. **We can do some grooming during their stay. (Limited availability) Ask for information. Flexible availability, and pick up/drop off time. Preferably Mon-Saturday 7:30-8 and Sunday 2-7. Let me know if it’s close to those times, we can make it work. No pick up/drop off on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, or Easter Day. Please arrange drop off or pick up before or after these days. We are willing to love your puppy/dog while you’re away short or long periods of time. We care for your animals in our home/and our temp. controlled attached garage. We keep cats and other animals separated from the dogs. We have a fenced-in back yard for dogs to play. We practice safety by having low dogs to handler ratios. We have Retriever kennels set up (we can make these bigger for larger dogs or more than 1 dog* price adjusts if you want to change size). We also have crate options available if your dog prefers. **note on prices : If your dog is not used to a crate or needs more special attention then I can arrange that. Price will be based on their needs. VIP will be $10 additional to start. If your dog is over 1 year, but is still high energy they will still be in the puppy rate. We have 50 wooded acres with trails for evening walks. 45 min *Walks are included in puppy and VIP rate. Regular rate will be additional $10/walk. An attached fenced-in dog play yard is available several times a day. Play yard includes: doggie pools (summer months), play fetch with chuck-it balls, big Tether TUG, Giant Doggie Sandbox, frisbee, and more. Indoor toys include: lick mats, puzzles, kongs, tug ropes, and more. (Lick mats, stuffed Kongs, and bully sticks are an add on. Please ask for price list) *For the safety of the other dogs, and us, we can't accommodate "people" aggressive dogs. If your dog is nervous with other dogs we can keep them separated. We have low ratio dog to handler and can also be one-on-one to make the dogs comfortable.

“I’m so glad I can enjoy time away knowing Kiana is taking good care of our fur fam. I love seeing the updates and attention to detail. I’d recommend Kiana to anyone who is looking.”

About: Hi! I’m Morgan, a lifelong dog lover and proud mom to a 10-year-old son and a 3-year-old daughter, along with our two dogs, Nike and Max. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and I truly couldn’t imagine a home without them. Both of my children have grown up around dogs and have learned to be gentle, respectful, and loving with animals. Creating a safe, calm, and welcoming environment for every pet in my care is something I take seriously. I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so my goal is to make you feel completely comfortable and confident while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight care, I’ll treat them like they’re one of my own. Every pet deserves plenty of love, attention, exercise, and individualized care, and I’ll make sure they receive exactly that. I believe communication is just as important as great care, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member and provide them with the love and care they deserve! Before We Meet To help me give your pet the best possible experience, please let me know about: * Any medical conditions or medications * Food allergies or dietary restrictions * Favorite toys, treats, or activities * Triggers, fears, or behavioral concerns * Your pet’s daily routine and any special instructions * Anything else you’d like me to know to help your pet feel happy, safe, and comfortable I look forward to meeting you and your best friend!

About: **Beginning 9/22/26 we will be taking a few months hiatus as we welcome our first baby! If you are one of our routine clients, feel free to message us anyway as we may be ready to take dogs sooner - you never know 😊** I moved away from the New England area during the pandemic and came to the Midwest where I didn’t know anyone. Back home, I had friends and family begging me to go on vacation so they could dog sit my dog, but here, without knowing too many people, finding a dog sitter was a really difficult ordeal. Thankfully, Rover and other apps helped, especially when I was able to travel again. I'm looking to help out in the same way this app and others helped me. I live in a large home with my wife Kelly, two dog friendly cats, and a very chill dog of our own. Pearl and Boy are our orange kitties and Candy is a 55lb brown lab mix. Candy and I used to be a certified therapy animal team when we had more time on our hands. All three animals love company (mostly human company but other animals are more than welcome, too) so your pet will definitely not be alone while you're away between us five. We do have a fenced-in yard and all dogs are welcome to roam the entire house - especially if you also allow that in your home. But if your animal needs their own space, we have a loft area, the yard, and various dog beds to decompress throughout the house. The old owners of our home used to be dog breeders and the home came with amenities specifically catered to hosting dogs. While we don’t and won’t breed ourselves, these features of the home make a great dog-friendly home for any pet while you’re away! We both work full time but Kelly is home three days a week and I’m home the other two. Typically my day revolves around when I should take the dogs out anyway. Usually one walk around 7am, another around noon, another around 5 when I get back and one before bed. How we care for your pet will be completely up to you and how you normally care for them. The goal is to keep the disruption of a routine to a minimum while treating your dog to a change of scenery and a new friend

“Jasmine was my first encounter with this app and hiring a sitter. She set my mind at ease. She is very nice and caring. Our bulldog Lola seems to really like her! I will be reaching out to her again in the future when we need it.”

About: I have owned and taken care of animals my entire life, I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats including walking, bathing, feeding, and so much more! I also have experience in basic training for younger animals and I am also able to care for senior animals such as giving medication or treating them with the extra care they deserve! I'm currently a part time student at MCC so I will have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! My pronouns are He/Him I prioritize your pets safety and will never leave them out of my sight or unattended. I will take upmost care and consideration when it comes to keeping your pets healthy, safe, and happy.

About: I can work with dogs that have anxiety and aggressive. And cats too and any other animals. As I love animals of any size big or small Saturday-Sunday I can do anytime Monday-Friday after 2:30pm unless I'm staying in the house sitting and petsitting. Then time doesn't really matter as much then. Environment would be your home as I rent and they don't allow petsitting. Depends if yard is fence area if it is then I will play ball with them.

About: You need someone to take care of your pet with the care and attention that you use to care for them. I am happy to help. I have been around dogs and animals my whole life. I recently lost my lab of 15 years. She was a very busy puppy so I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. Please let me support your pet so you can have peace of mind. I work with pets on the weekend, Saturday and Sunday. I am happy to provide dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting. Please let me know if you have any questions. I am happy to provide walks to whatever length you prefer. I am happy to provide updates with photos. I can be flexible and supportive. I take good care to watch pets closely. I know many dogs appreciate quality attention.

“First time coming to meet our pups and couldn’t be happier. Super friendly and the pups already love him. Easy to work with will definitely purely be a repeat customer. Thanks Kevin the pups can’t wait til the next visit.”

About: Each and every dog is treated like our own. We adore being able to share the love with our borrowed fur babies. Weather permitting the dogs are taken on two longer walks with as many potty breaks as needed between walks. Please let us know any special needs your friend may have and where your fur baby prefers to sleep. I work from home so the work breaks that caring for the dogs(whether it be feeding, walking or just playing) are welcome. Most always there is a dog laying at my feet while I work keeping me company. I have a multi level house with plenty of space for the dogs. They can find their place to sprawl out to nap, find a good place to roughhouse, or do a good session of rope pulling or ball toss I also have a very large fenced in deck to allow them to get some fresh air, play or sit by a fire at night with us

“Kendall did a very good job of taking care of my cats. I would definitely use her again.”

“Emily did a great job with our three dogs. You can tell she loves all the animals she takes care of and treats them as if they are here own:)”

About: I understand your pet is important to you. I will treat your pet as my own, offering engagement, play time, enrichment activities and a peace of mind. I train my own dog for obedience competitions, and I know he is happy when his tail wags. I have learned how to read a dogs behavior and go out of my way to ensure they are living their best life. Each dog that books a service will receive a complimentary gift bag of treats! Someone is home all day. I work near my home, I have flexibility allowing me to come home when needed. Your pup will have a plenty of toys and puzzles to stay busy. I have a kennel area for potty (so it's not all over the yard). Dogs are let out on a long line (33ft) as we wait for our fence to be put up. We are very intentional about how we care for dogs and we have found, dogs don't mind the long line since they still get to run their tails off! There are young children who are excited about dogs who love meeting new dogs. The children in my home are familiar with my standards of pet care, and know what it means to respect a dog. I have 3 German Shepherd Dogs who are dog neutral. My youngest dog is being trained for competitive obedience, one who recently retired and one who retired 2 years ago and works as a therapy dog as well as demonstration dog. He helps many dogs overcome their obstacles to becoming the well mannered pet many families crave. He is a gentle giant, I've learned much from him. He is always happy to see another dog, and understands respectful greetings, he is mild mannered and loves to play when released to do so. I am a runner, so if you are interested in a daily run for your pet during their stay, please notify me of this. My life is built around caring for pets. This was done intentionally and I am grateful for the opportunity to have your dog in my care. I can easily crate your dogs if needed. They are care for as my own. Each dog will be sent home with a treat bag made from single ingredient treats that we make.
