“Went out of town and Maddie did a wonderful job with our old man! Trust worthy and treated the house well. Very good at communication, sent lots of pictures! Would 💯 trust her to stay at our home and watch Gary again. Our dog was so relaxed when we got home and seemed really happy.”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life !! I currently have two dogs of my own as well. I do some dog training. Sit, stay, lay, shake, crate training, and potty training. I work full time however I get two breaks and only work Monday-Thursday. I work from 8-5 and take a break at 1130 and 2:30. I live in a house and have a closed in fence. I take my dogs for a walk or run every day and will play fetch or tug of war with them in the yard. The dogs get lots of outside time and my girls love having new friends to play with! A kennel is not required but I do ask if you have one to bring it. Since we have our own dogs and also board more than one dog we put them up in the kennel when going to sleep at night.
About: I’ve taken care of just about every kind of animal you could think of since I was 12. My neighbors and friends have trusted me with their cats, dogs, horses, lizards, fish and even goats. I will ensure the best possible care for your pet! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to check on and spend with your pet to make sure they aren’t lonely during the day. I spend a lot of time at home with my own cats and am able to devote time for walks, feeding, and even medication if needed! I am also able to exercise high energy dogs during the day. I have a spacious home and 2 friendly kitties to keep your pet company throughout the day. I also have a fenced in yard and am able to crate your dog throughout the day if needed.
About: I have trained my two Australian Shepherds to complete nationally in AKC agility. My dog Maggie has been ranked as the number one freshman all American dog in the Winter 2023 agility season. I also have experience with puppies and toy breeds. I have a chihuahua. My family raises AQUA quarter horses, and I have years of farm and ranch experience. I have raised many orphaned kittens and I understand cats. Pet care is my priority. I wake up in the morning interacting with animals and I continue to provide for both cats and dogs throughout the day. I usually feed after the dogs relieve themselves and then I will also feed cats. I then check water dishes and clean up any messes or cat litter. Then I interact with the pets and check their well-being. In the client’s home I follow all of their rules and take photos of their pets. I own my home. I have a fenced yard, and crates.
About: I have had animals my whole life of all kinds including birds, and horses, dogs, and cats. I have experience as a groomer, and working as a veterinarian technician. I am not working so, I am available most of the time, I am a caregiver to my adult autistic son. He is functioning enough to be alone while I take care of our fur babies! I am trustworthy and care about your pet's welfare and your property! I can even take them out to the Vet, and pick them up! Not only that, and I have small pet crates if needed. I can give them play time, and walks, feedings in your home. My car is also big enough for large dogs.

I am an animal advocate who firmly believes in the prohibition of any form of verbal or physical abuse towards animals. I will provide the utmost care and attention to your children, treating them as if they were my own. I’m practically a full-time dog caretaker!
