“Ken was great! He loved my animals like his own and he even gave us updates on our kitty’s even though he was there for our puppy! Great thorough updates will definitely use again if we need care!”

About: I love dogs of all ages young and old. I have had dogs and loved them my whole life. We have a jack russle named Indy who loves to hike and go on adventures with us. He is very friendly and loves other dogs and cats. He's the coolest calmest jack you'll ever meet. I am currently a homeschool Mama. So I am here full time. I have one dog and two cats. All very friendly and welcoming to other animals. I have time to take care of and spend time with your pet. I have a small fenced in yard for smaller dogs. I also have a very friendly small jack russle named Indy to keep your pet company. We go on walks and have lots of play time and rest time. I have children who are also pet lovers.


“Cheyanne watched my cat for a long weekend and was a delight to work with. She was very professional and responsible. She provided me with details of the stay and helped me out tremendously. I really appreciated her looking after our home and pet.”


About: I have always been around dogs my entire life and they seem to be very comfortable around me! From helping a mommy dog give birth to caring for an elderly dog they all have my heart. I work a full time remotely so I am available for potty breaks all day when house sitting. I can conform to the schedule the family provides. I take care of your animals as if they were my own while respecting your home. I’m very easy going so any requests I would most likely be able to accommodate.

“I am so glad to have found Yule through Rover! My Mollie girl is getting up there in age and needs a little extra care. Yule followed all of our routine with ease and loved on her ❤️ We all felt right at ease. Will definitely be working with Yule again when we need extra help! 10/10”


About: My name is Alijah! I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, goats, some small animals and other large farm animals. I love spending time with older babies! I have experience with giving time allotted medicine and shots if needed. I feel comfortable with pets of all sizes from pea sized to gentle giants. I’m a full time worker yet I spend all my time with animals. I am available everyday. Morning,lunch and afternoons. I spend roughly 2 hours in evenings taking care of my horses. In my clients home I would like the dogs to feel as comfortable as they can until they are cozy with me! I do prefer when in my care dogs specifically are in a fenced in back yard or leashed at all time when I handle them outside of the house.

About: I am a professional trainer who has been around dogs my whole life. I currently own 2 Rottweilers, Husky and a Shepard. I truly enjoy working with animals. We have a set schedule atbour home with our pets. We eat meals 2x a day and go outside as needed throughout day and night. Caring for pets in my home would be added to our schedule or we can adjust depending on the pet. We have crates if needed for pets. In a clients home I would follow the schedule that they lay out to ensure not to disrupt their schedule.

About: At Central Canines, pet care is more than just a service — it’s a personalized experience built on trust, structure, and love. With years of hands-on experience in both dog training and boarding, I go beyond basic care to truly understand each dog’s personality, needs, and behavior. Whether your pup is staying overnight or working on new skills, they’ll receive consistent structure, positive reinforcement, and one-on-one attention in a safe, home-style environment — not a crowded kennel. What sets me apart is the calm, confident energy I bring to every interaction, my commitment to helping dogs thrive both mentally and physically, and the genuine relationships I build with each pet and their family. Here, every dog is treated like one of my own. Pet care is my full-time lifestyle — not just part of my day. As a professional dog trainer and full-time pet care provider, my entire routine is centered around the well-being, structure, and happiness of the dogs in my care. From early morning potty breaks and structured play sessions to training lessons and calm evening wind-downs, every part of my day is designed to meet each pup’s individual needs. This isn’t a side job or a hobby — it’s my passion and profession. Your dog becomes part of my daily rhythm, and I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. In my home, pets are cared for with a structured, safe, and loving routine that supports both their physical and mental well-being. Dogs enjoy plenty of outdoor time in a secure yard, personalized enrichment activities, and rest periods throughout the day to prevent overstimulation. For those enrolled in training, I incorporate clear, consistent guidance into daily routines to reinforce good behavior in real-life situations. Each pup gets one-on-one attention, daily check-ins, and plenty of love — all while maintaining a calm, balanced environment. Cleanliness, safety, and respect for each dog’s individual needs are always my top priorities.

About: I worked as a Vet Tech Assistant for 4 years then moved up to an Emergency/ICU Tech for 3.5 years before having my baby boy. I am now a stay at home mom. Though I love what I do, I miss my interactions and snuggles with all of my patients! I have 3 labs at home who were my first children. I have always been a big animal lover! My mom runs a kitty shelter and rescues farm animals so we can blame her for my need to be with animals basically constantly! I am a stay at home mom currently, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I can do multiple potty breaks a day if close by, hang out as long as needed, go on long walks, etc! Whatever makes your fur baby happy. I have a fenced in backyard and 3 playful labs who love to fetch outside or get in doggy pool to cool off, or just stay inside and snuggle with some Netflix on.

Whether it's my own dog, KoKo, or a new furry friend, I am dedicated to providing the best care possible and ensuring that your furbaby enjoys a luxurious experience filled with love, attention, and fun activities.

I love having the companionship and energy that pets bring, making each day more joyful and balanced. Caring for dogs is a passion of mine, and I ensure they receive all the love and attention they need. Each dog's routine is tailored to their individual needs and may include regular feeding, playtime, and exercise. I take dogs on invigorating walks and to the local dog park for socialization and fun. With my small breed dog, KoKo, as a companion, your dog will always have a playmate and a friend. Whether it's engaging in stimulating activities or enjoying some relaxing downtime, I make sure every dog feels at home and well-cared for.
