About: I have grown up with dogs all my life and currently have 3 dogs Chelsea, Lucy and olive. I am a huge dog lover and would own 100 if I could. I do work full time. I am available to board animals on most weekends. I am also available to walk or do drop ins daily after 330 during school and 230 during summers. I do not have a fenced in yard. Yet. I do plan on getting it fenced in either this summer or the next. I can crate animals as well. I do have 3 of my own dogs that I have trained and walk most days.

This was my first time leaving my baby girl Kora with anyone. Tara really assured me Kora was good with pictures and updates! I will definitely be being Kora back!

About: Reliable and caring pet sitter with a genuine love for animals. I provide attentive care, walks, feeding, and plenty of affection so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and keep owners updated with messages and photos. As a full-time homemaker and mom of two (plus two stepkids) with a dog of my own, caring for others is a big part of my daily life. Because I’m home most of the day, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to check in on pets, go for walks, and make sure they get the attention and care they need while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I provide a safe and loving environment and treat every animal like part of the family. My yard isn’t fenced, but I have a secure tie-out and can provide additional tie-outs so dogs can safely enjoy time outside while supervised. I’m always attentive to pets’ needs and committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I've been fortunate to share my life with multiple dogs throughout my life, giving me a deep understanding of canine behavior and the unique needs of different personalities. I'm comfortable handling packs of dogs, ensuring each receives individual attention while maintaining a harmonious environment. I'm skilled at recognizing and addressing any signs of stress or anxiety in a multi-dog household. Whether it's playtime, mealtimes, or simply providing a calm and comforting presence, I can create a positive and enjoyable experience for all dogs in my care. I am home most of the day after taking the kids to school, I do have a real estate business that requires some of my time. I have a large fenced in back yard and an Irish doodle to keep your pup company. My garage is heated and all kennels are cleaned daily
