About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 15 years, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their dogs as if they were my own. I’m experienced with leash training, giving medications, and keeping dogs active and happy. While dogs are my specialty, I also have years of experience caring for cats, fish, hamsters, and even chickens so I’m comfortable with households that have multiple pets. My priority is making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work online so I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to pet care. Along with my two boys (ages 10 and 12) who also share a love for animals, your pets will have lots of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available weekdays and weekends, and can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. I live in a pet-friendly home with a big yard and two friendly dogs who love making new friends. My boys and I are experienced with dogs of all sizes, and we treat every pet like part of the family. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for whether at my home or yours! I also live near an awesome trail.
About: Our home will be a great place to board your small dog at a quieter environment. I am a veterinarian and my husband works from home. We have a 7 year old Shih Tzu. We both love dogs and my dog will love to meet a new friend. We are flexible with pick up and drop off times since my husband, Justin, works from home. Your pet will be loved and cared for multiple times throughout the day. Pet transport service is available at additional cost. We have a large yard and will be walking your dog on leash.

About: Hello. Call me Kathy. I love all animals especially dogs and I have raised and cared for many over the years. I enjoy having other dogs in my home so that my own Teddy can socialize and make new friends. I have lots of time for long walks or lazy snoozes on the couch with my pooches. I love all breeds and most of my friends have a furry family member. When they go away they depend on me to care for their precious pets because they trust me and they know I will love and care for their pets just like I do my own. I am dependable and reliable and enjoy having fun with the dogs and teaching them new tricks. I live in an apartment but the property has lots of places to walk and run including a large, fenced-in dog park where the pups can run and play leash-less and carefree. This is a great opportunity for the dogs to meet and greet other pets in the area and just have fun together. Plenty of water is made available for the pooches as well as balls and toys. So, if you are looking for a place to leave your precious friend when you go away, trust Comfy Canine Care to give your pets the love and “at home” experience that you want them to have. So, reserve a spot for your furry friend today at Comfy Canine Care. I am retired now so I have lots of time for pet sitting and walking around the neighborhood and to the dog park on a regular basis. The dogs are allowed anywhere {including furniture but only if it is allowed in your own home}. Please let me know if there are any restrictions.
“Sherrie was so sweet to my young dog! I dropped my dog, Rosie, off for doggy daycare while I went to work. I picked her up around 4pm and she was exhausted! Sherrie has a great outdoor space with a huge yard and kept me updated with pictures of her playing fetch with my dog all day! She was a phenomenal Rover!”

“Kahlynne has taken care of Fern for us for two trips so far. This was Fern’s first day care experience, and were more than impressed. Fern has more than enjoyed herself, apart from one day with a surprise thunder storm, and comes home absolutely exhausted. In the midst of the thunder storm, Kahlynne made sure Fern was as comfortable as she could make her… even though Fern was likely a less than optimal guest. We recommend Kahlynne to everybody, and Fern looks forward to her next staycation.”

“Our dog warmed up to Stephanie immediately. She was kind, warm and paid close attention to the needs of our older dog.
