About: I have experience with dogs ranging from 3 pounds to 130 pounds. I run a rescue and have fostered many dogs. I've raised numerous puppies. I have the most experience with older animals that need extra attention. I have administered all types of medications ranging from oral, topical medication, pills, insulin injections and ointments/drops in dogs & cats eyes and ears. I also have given vaccines. I work from home so your furry family member will rarely be alone. I will always be able to step away to give some extra potty breaks or extra play time. I have a very large grassy yard with a 4 foot fence. My dog is use to other dogs coming and going. He is happy to play or just coexist. I require all dogs coming into my yard/home be on flea/tick preventative, up to date on rabies, distemper, bordetella and canine influenza. I’m working from home so I’m around the whole day. I’m able to give extra potty breaks if needed. I’m typically able to accommodate last minute requests. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep yours company. I never leave them unattended. I have extra crates if break time is needed.

About: My husband and I truly treat pets like family. We’ve cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I’ve taken pet training classes and have hands-on experience reinforcing basic commands and good behaviors. If you’re working on training, I’m happy to help keep things consistent while your pup is with me. I also provide enrichment activities like snuffle mats, puzzle toys, and interactive play to keep dogs mentally stimulated and happy. I work from home full-time, so your pet won’t be alone much during the day. I give regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also flexible and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. They’ll get lots of company, care, and cuddles while they’re here. Your pet’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely. My home is clean and pet-friendly, with space to play and relax. I use positive reinforcement, patience, and lots of affection. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or visiting yours, I treat them like they’re my own.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, extra playtime, or a little patience and encouragement, I’m happy to provide attentive care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and bathroom breaks while making sure each pet receives the attention and care they need. I’m committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative so pet parents always know their furry family member is in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and walking preferences. During walks, I remain attentive to my surroundings and keep pets securely leashed unless otherwise instructed in a safe, enclosed area. In your home, I will respect your space, maintain your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care while you’re away.

This is the second time Kerry has taken care of my two cats- they are super shy but warmed up to her quickly! I missed them terribly but the pictures and updates Kerry sent me comforted me while I was gone! Will be booking with her again!

Kaitlin did a phenomenal job with our furry ones. Great communication, did everything the way asked and even did little things to make sure we knew everything was being taken care of. From the check in photos to seeing how our doggos were treating her we knew she was taking wonderful care of them. 100% recommended and will definitely come back to her the next time we might need anything.

Jason was fantastic. When he came by to meet my dogs, I knew he was going to be great. He got right down and played with them... our boy dog Mojo can be very slow to warm to people but he lived Jason instantly. He’s also very accommodating to humans. We look forward to having him visit again!

Jennie was absolutely amazing. I had a last minute emergency trip and she went above and beyond with my dogs. One of my guys is going through a bad health issue and I was extremely worried leaving him. Jennie not only completely put me at ease with her attitude, she also took care of Henry as if he was her own, got some amazing pictures as well! I can’t express how grateful I am for her. Would absolutely use her again, no hesitation.

Caroline came in at the last minute and saved the day for a week-long trip for us. When we met, it was clear she had a ton of experience and she was so patient with our high-energy pitties, who absolutely loved seeing her every day!
