“Venus and Keaton were AMAZING! Monte is a 5 month old puppy, so he has a lot of energy, but they took great care of him for the week. Every time we walked up to the door, Monte's tail would not stop wagging. They really made Monte feel at home!”

About: As a previous dog owner of 2, I know the attention, affection and care that is required and expected. There isn't a time a can recall without a dog being part of my life. I have cared for dogs of all types, sizes and ages. In addition, I have experience in medical distribution. Know that your dog will receive exceptional love and attention from me as if they were my own. My home is open to your pet whether I'm away at work or working from home during week and weekends. Opened to work with your pets needs. I have a high-fenced yard. There are no young children nor any other pets in the home, therefore your dog will have the ability to roam freely throughout the house and yard.
“Jenny was great! My dog has anxiety and she made her feel comfortable and took care of her with walks and was careful to avoid the other neighborhood dogs as requested. Will definitely use Jenny’s services in the future.”
About: I grew up with animals around me at all times! I’ve cared for animals at all stages of their lives from 0-15. I have also cared for multiple animals at once. I am currently working part time so your pet will be well taken care of! I am available for boarding everyday of the week and can board for multiple nights in a row. Doggy daycare can also be everyday! Providing top notch care is always my first priority! I have two other animals including a turtle and rabbit but they are both caged and will not interact with your pet. Dogs are allowed on furniture and will have plenty of room to roam. Walk duration and frequency can change depending on the pet’s needs.
“Zoe had a great time playing with her new friends. Thanks again!”

No problem for this experienced veterinary technician! Have an additional set of ease, for you know that your pet is with a sitter that has been trained in first aid, CPR, and even anesthesia!

Sitting your pet while also furthering my education simultaneously. Your pet will truly enjoy my two sided fully fenced backyard! Lots of room to run around and chase a ball or chill on the patio if wanted. Fortunately, pets are allowed on my couch as well, allowing them to snuggle and have comfortablity in my home.
About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I have over 30 years of experience providing attentive, loving, and reliable pet care for all kinds of animals, from playful puppies to wise senior pets. What sets me apart is the calm, intuitive approach I bring to each animal's unique personality and needs. I have hands-on experience with: Puppy training – including basic commands, crate training, and leash manners. Senior pet care – gentle handling, administering medications, and understanding mobility or dietary needs. High-energy breeds – I know how to keep them mentally and physically engaged. Shy or rescue animals – I give them the time and space to feel safe and comfortable. Beyond just feeding and walking, I prioritize emotional well-being. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, belly rubs, or just a calm presence, I’m here to provide consistent and loving care—like you never left. If you're looking for someone who treats your pet like family and pays attention to every little detail, I’d love to help. I am an entrepreneur, I make my own schedule and I work from home. I am available anytime 7 days a week, 24 hours a day to take care of your pet. I have a fenced in yard for your dog to run and play safely outside. I have a large indoor dog kennel inside the den of our home that is cool in the summer, it is climate controlled with Heat and AC. I also have a large Dog crate available if your dog prefers a cozier private place to rest. Of course your dog will be allowed to enjoy our home freely with supervision. I know every dog is different, and I will do my best to accommodate their needs. I have a very friendly and social German Shepherd named Duke who would love to meet any play with your dog if allowed.
