About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life—there’s never been a time I didn’t have at least one dog or cat by my side. I currently have a large German Shepherd and a sweet cat, so I’m very used to managing different energy levels, personalities, and needs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who just need a little extra patience and care. I’m also comfortable administering medications, including pills, ear drops, and topical treatments. I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own—with love, attention, and lots of cuddles! As a stay-at-home wife, I have plenty of time and flexibility in my daily routine to give pets the attention and care they need. Whether it’s going on walks, keeping up with feeding schedules, giving medication, or just spending quality time playing or cuddling, I’m available throughout the day to make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Overnight stays are never a problem—I’m home most of the time, so your pet will have constant companionship, comfort, and care, even at night. My home is a pet-friendly, loving environment where pets feel safe and cared for. With a large dog and a cat of my own, I understand the unique needs and personalities of different pets. I provide plenty of walks, outdoor time, indoor play, cuddles, and basic training using positive reinforcement. I prioritize creating a calm, happy space where pets get the attention, exercise, and love they need every day. I bring this same level of care, attention, and affection to your pet’s home, ensuring they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Patience and empathy are a major part of my approach to animals in general. I have realized that these beautiful creatures respond well to me because my love does not come with any strings. I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Kameha and a cat named Sushi. They are my world. Sushi's mother was a stray cat and not in good shape. I helped her heal and she ended having Sushi and several other kittens. Kameha was rescued from a bad home and she had worms as a puppy. Now she is full of life. My values include but are not limited to: safety, integrity, responsibility, respect, and dependability. I am entrepreneur and full time father and I am looking for supplemental income. Thank you for your time and consideration.

About: Hello! My name is Samantha Jones and I am a a professional dog trainer. I provide in home boarding, doggy daycare and walks. All service will be training based and will give your pup a chance to learn new skills during their stay! I specialize in dog socialization and manners. I love to help dogs come out of their shell and become the best version of themselves. I value the level of trust it takes to leave your furry family members somewhere they love when you cannot be with them and treat the pups like my own during their stay. I am comfortable with all different types of sizes and personalities! I can't wait to meet your furry friend! ***DOGS MUST BE CRATE TRAINED TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR ALL SERVICES*** Training Based Services: Boarding and Daycare: Dogs will be exposed to healthy social groups with other dogs, leash manners will be assessed and practiced using a slip leash, and crate manners will be assessed and impulse control will be improved upon while asking dogs to wait for their turn to come out and play while also using the crate as a safe place for dogs to turn their brains off. Walks: Structured walks will provide your dog a chance to not only burn off energy physically, but to also work their brain. Dogs all shapes and sizes can benefit from improving their leash manners. It’s a fact, dogs that are enjoyable to walk get invited to go more places with their owners! Nail Trims & Baths: Cooperative care is something I am passionate about and have seen so many dogs struggle with having their basic needs met (proper nail/ear care, grooming, and baths). This can be a stressful situation when dogs are not able to progress at their own pace. Add any of these services on to their time they will already be spending with me! I can go at their pace to make sure they are comfortable. It is hard to act your best when you do not feel your best! A low stress home environment and can make all the difference in these situations as opposed to back to back appointments that need to stay on schedule with a vet or groomer. **If you have specific training goals you would like to work on during your pups stay, please let me know and we can put together a game plan! **I do not turn dogs away for behavioral reasons but do require owners are up front and honest about any dangerous behaviors for both the the dog’s and my own safety. ‼️‼️**I typically have more than one dog with me at a time. I schedule my day based off of my already confirmed appointment times. I can typically be pretty flexible IF a needed change is communicated with as much notice as possible. Please respect that I offer these services out of my home and do not show up outside of scheduled appointment times.**‼️‼️ Requirements for booking: -Up to date vaccination records - Completed questionnaire (will be provided through a message or can be emailed) I have a very flexible schedule and train, play and care for and with the pups full time!
