About: We've taken care of our own and family dogs for 20+ years, including dog sitting, outings, walking, and training/agility. We treat dogs as our family and are truly passionate about their well being. We currently work from home remotely and have flexible time to attend to the dog throughout the day, including frequent visits, walking, playing, and training. We have a fenced in yard and two smaller/medium dogs to keep your baby comfortable and entertained, including many toys, dog pool, and agility equipment.

“My dog Max appeared to have a wonderful time at Richard and Kelly’s. It’s awesome to have found a place close to work and home to take him for daycare :) 100% going again !!”

“Chloe was really great to work with our big dog. He has separation anxiety and can be a nervous and shy dog. She did a meet and greet beforehand, listened and asked questions about him. She also sent lots of photos and updates on his first day to make sure we knew he had settled and was doing okay. Really great experience to have for our 80lbs sensitive boy. Thank you!”

About: I've been around animals my entire life, so I'm very comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I understand how important it is to keep them on their normal routine and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I also have experience dog sitting three dogs for an entire month, which taught me how to manage multiple pets at once while keeping up with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving each dog the attention they needed. I'm dependable, patient, and will treat your pets like they're my own. I'll provide plenty of love, exercise, and regular photo updates so you can feel confident that they're in good hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and because I have a very flexible schedule, I'm able to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I'm available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and can easily adapt to your pet's routine. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands. I have two friendly, loving dogs who enjoy being around other pets, as well as a cat who mostly keeps to himself. My home has plenty of space for pets to relax and play. While my backyard isn't fenced, all outdoor time is supervised, and dogs will always be kept on a leash to ensure their safety.

About: Hi! I am a young, active, outdoorsy homeschool mother who would love to help care for your beloved dog! 🐾 I have experience caring for a variety of breeds and personalities, including German Shepherds, Labradoodles, Terriers, Shih Tzus, Great Pyrenees, and Australian Shepherds. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, and comfort levels, and I am committed to providing patient, loving, individualized care. I have a large, securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore, and I enjoy getting outside for walks with active dogs. My home is a great fit for dogs who enjoy plenty of attention, snuggles, playtime, and outdoor activity. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog like part of my family while they’re in my care. I'm happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, medication, exercise, and routine instructions so they feel comfortable and at home while you’re away. ❤️ I'd love the opportunity to get to know you and your dog and provide them with a safe, fun, and loving stay! I have a very flexible and open schedule, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention and companionship. I work one day a week and homeschool my 9-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter so it is essential your dog is comfortable around older children. Because I homeschool, I spend most of my days at home and have flexibility throughout the day for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and keeping your pet company. I enjoy an active, outdoorsy lifestyle and I'm happy to accommodate your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority. My home has a large, securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get some exercise. I have an active family with two kind, loving, and playful children who enjoy having animals around. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I will follow your instructions regarding feeding, exercise, routines, and boundaries. I will provide close supervision and a loving, family-oriented environment. For walks or care in your home, I am reliable, respectful, and trustworthy. I will treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own family and pets.

“My dog Jimmy has been going for a week now (4 days so far) and can not imagine taking him to anyone else. The setting is better than his last daycare which was too big and he was getting overly anxious. Karlie cares for another dog and has two of her own plus a cat so the place is calmer than the last one. Karlie and her family are all very nice and seem to like having Jimmy there. I will take him back whenever I require daycare for him. I just wish I was not moving out of the area soon and will no longer be able to take him there. At least we found Karlie at the end of our time in Vinton.”

“They have been super nice and patient with my dog! I feel very comfortable leaving my dog with them and I get little updates throughout the day so I know that my dog is doing well under their care! They are also very flexible in terms of their times which I really appreciate for my schedule! Overall, really nice people who I can trust to care for my dog!”

About: I’ve helped my mom pet sit her German shepherd for a year and I handled it well. I learned how to feed him properly and took care of him responsibly. I will be mostly available in the afternoon. Once school start, I will be mostly available during the weekends. Feel free to check with me on availability otherwise. I make sure to walk my dog at least three times a day and feed him the right amount of food at least two times a day. I will make sure to respect others when taking him outside and stop any improper behavior in time. I regularly buy him treats and toys.

“Angela was fantastic and Larry had a great time with her. She was so kind to help us out at the last minute while we attended the VT football game!”

About: You can trust your pup with me! My love for dogs and animals started when I was a child and has grown into a deep bond and genuine care for every dog I meet. I truly go above and beyond when it comes to pet care — and in my book, a little spoiling is always included. ;) I’ve had decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs since 2004, from training my first Mini Schnauzer, Ally, as a puppy to providing specialized senior care as she got older. In 2009, my husband and I rescued our first senior Schnauzer, Smokey, and cared for him through several medical issues including seizures, gastroenteritis, and inner ear infections. I’m extremely attentive to a dog’s needs, personality, comfort, and safety, and I always stay alert to make sure they’re happy, secure, and out of trouble. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I would care for your dog like one of my own. *Please note: I can only accommodate dogs up to 15 lbs. Requests above this size will be declined. Please do not request bookings for larger dogs. I’m a stay-at-home pet parent, which allows me to give my full attention and care to both my own dog and the pets staying with me. At our home, pets are treated like family and will receive lots of love, attention, supervision, and playtime throughout the day. We have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time, potty breaks, and play, but dogs will always be supervised while outside. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, comfort level, routines, and needs to help them feel safe and relaxed while away from home. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a calm environment, I’m happy to accommodate their routine as closely as possible. I also understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attentiveness, especially for senior dogs or pets with special needs.

“Good people. Rory enjoyed his stay! 🐶”
