18. Danielle W.
About: I have had dogs in the home for 18 years. I have seven small dogs of my own - so only consider our home if your dog does well with other dogs. My pack loves to play and run around the fenced yard. The dogs are family. They have free roam of the house all the time. They are allowed on the furniture and sleep in bed at night. Your dog will be treated the same way in my home. I am home on weekends, so I'll be able to be with your pet full-time. Your pet won't be left alone except for a possible short errand. I have a fully fenced yard. Pets are treated as family in this home. They are allowed on furniture, and can sleep in bed, unless you have another preference. Dogs must be dog friendly.
19. Jillian S.
“Jill is so compassionate and loving toward all animals. She has walked my mastiff mix multiple times and has hd no issues. She has the firm hand needed to hold him back on walks if he lunges but still can lay in the grass and get lots of love from him. She has a great work ethic and never wastes time when coming over. She’d be great for a regular or drop in dog walker for anyone.”
20. Mellette D.
“Once again, Mellette showed up and took great care of my kitties! She checked in with me when needed, and loved them like they deserve while we were away. She put in a lot of extra hours while working full time and showed up for the designated hours. Thanks, Mellette!”
