About: My love for animals started when I worked at a shelter in my middle school years. My husband and I have one mini Goldendoodle, Franklin, who is friendly and energetic. He loves the company of other dogs and would certainly welcome your fur baby into our home! We also have a two year old daughter who adores dogs. We walk our dog daily in our neighborhood and would be happy to take yours with us. I am self-employed and primarily work from home, so I am able to give your dog the attention they deserve. We are most comfortable with small and medium dogs. We would love to care for your dog while you are enjoying your vacation or simply away from home! Thank you for considering us! I primarily work from home. When I am away from home for work on some evenings and Saturdays, my husband is usually home as he is a teacher and has evening and weekend flexibility. We coordinate our schedules to make sure one of us is available for your dog. We currently only board one dog at a time to ensure they are getting plenty of love and attention. We have a friendly Goldendoodle to keep your fur baby company. We also take daily walks and would be happy to bring your dog along with us. We have a medium sized crate if your dog needs to be crated, or they can sleep in a dog bed.

About: I've had dogs all of my life aging from newborn puppies to 13 years old. I have trained multiple puppies basic commands like sit, come, speak, and lay down. I can also work on potty training or just play and love your dog. I currently stay at home with my 8 month old baby and the sweetest fur baby. I sometimes have to go to our chicken houses but I can crate your dog for at most an hour or they can venture out with me! I live back off the road on a chicken farm. We have a very long driveway I can take your dog for a walk on. Also, we have a big yard so they will have plenty of room to run and play. I do have the ability to crate your dog if need be.

About: I love all kinds of animals, I’m a dog momma to a pup named cookie who is almost 4. Let me take care of your companions while you’re away! ❤️❤️ I am currently not working, and I’m home all day so I have all the free time to take care of your little companions while your away! I have a fenced in yard, and enough love to go around. I would love to spoil and spend time with your pups and take care of them while you are away ♥️

About: Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile! I have ALWAYS been an animal lover!! I grew up on a mini farm always spending more time talking and playing with the animals, whom I saw as part of the family than really anything else. Here's where we'll take our walks: We have a great neighborhood for walks. It is an apartment complex however we have parks nearby! I never allow dogs outside without supervision and always keep a leash on them. Your dog's sleeping arrangement: Your dog can sleep pretty much anywhere they choose. If they are noisy sleepers, such as pugs or bostons, that tend to snore, we probably won't have them in our bedroom. We do ask that you bring them all their necessary supplies such as a crate and treats. Time I'll spend with your dog: Your dog will be with me and our sweet daughter all day long. Your pet will be part of our family while they are with us. We will give them free reign of the house, with the exception of a bedroom or two, unless we are in those bedrooms. If your dog is allowed on the furniture, they will have the same luxury here with us. We love to cuddle with our furry visitors! We can't wait to meet you sweet fury family members so go ahead and book today and I promise you won't regret it! :)

Rest assured that I will closely supervise all interactions between your dog, my own dogs, and my child to ensure a safe and positive environment for everyone.

“Bentley's regular sitter wasn't available this week so I needed to find a backup. I'm always nervous when someone new keeps him because he is such a sweet, fun-loving guy and I want him to stay that way, but Morgan has been great. Bentley has enjoyed his time with her and is super excited to get dropped off in the mornings. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to others!”

“Haley was amazing with my dog Max, who can be both aggressive and very needy. She took the time to understand his behavior and handled him with real patience and confidence. She kept me updated with photos and clear notes about how things went. Max doesn’t usually warm up to new people, but he clearly trusted her. It’s clear she knows what she’s doing and genuinely cares. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone with a challenging dog.”
