About: Hi! We are Kayla and Austin! My partner and I have Been around many animals especially dogs, our entire life. I (Kayla) Have my grooming license and have dog sit, helped with rescues and administration of medications, physical therapy ect. Offer enrichment and lots of space to run and play! **FYI** if anyone is uncomfortable boarding at my home because we have dogs, we are more than happy, and capable of keeping your pet completely separate while still giving them a positive experience with plenty of space and love. Update 08/13/25 Just to be EXTRA cautious, unless you request otherwise, we will be keeping our dogs separate at all times. I currently have an open schedule so will build and work around everyone as I go. Working on building a great efficient and FUN routine! I have a fully fenced in back yard to play in and lots of toys and enrichment stuff to do while here, can also bring enrichment to other homes. Also can do baths, nails, ears, brushing..anything dog, I'm in!

“I was so worried to leave my diabetic kitty to go out of state for a work event. Miranda was thorough, communicative, and thoughtful, even checked in the next day after I got back to make sure all was well. It was a relief to know I had someone I could trust to provide the extra care my kitty needs!”


About: We have always had pets in the home since I was young as well as many family members with dogs that we saw and interacted with often. I am accustomed to big dog breeds as well as smaller breeds. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom and am home most days. I can be very flexible with scheduling as I am not working around a work schedule. I have a fenced in yard and currently no pets at home. I can provide food/water bowls as well as toys for your furry friend.

About: I have worked professionally for over 10 years in the animal industry, focusing on animal care and training. I was a dog trainer instructor for 5 years, and have worked with over 50 breeds of dogs of varying ages and obedience levels. I have also worked as a zookeeper for 5 years, and provided a high level of accredited care to all types of animals. Unfortunately my health has taken a turn for the worse this past year, and I can no longer sustain a healthy work life balance at the place I work at. I am very saddened by it, but I hope you will allow me to provide the quality and level of care I aspire to on a smaller and more personalized level. I am currently part time and in transition to another career path, working the late morning into early afternoon for only four hours a day. As such I can accommodate early mornings and late evening tasks, such as a walk or feeding or check in. I can not do house sits since I still have a small zoo of my own at home. boarding at my houses will be extremely case by case as the animals that live with me permanently come first. If your animal poses any risk to their safety, I will have to decline. I have made it work in the past with medium sized dogs, but they must be well trained and have little anxiety when being left alone. Crate trained is not a must, but is preferred.

Travis 🐾 I have had the pleasure of growing up on a farm surrounded by around animals my entire life. My family has owned many gorgeous retrievers that I fell in love with and took care of. I’d be in charge of walking, letting them out or dog sat for the weekend once I was older. Growing up this way has been a positive learning experience that lead me to be a great dog owner. 10 years ago I adopted Sadie, my first baby. She’s a beautiful lab mix. I have learned so much in the last decade about training dogs. I’ve taken puppy training class and still use a lot of that knowledge till this day. Sadie is extremely well trained and if I could I would 100% be a dog trainer. I’m not a dog whisperer but I definitely have a good understanding of how to handle pups and adult dogs. Dogs are easily my main love, but all animals have a special place in my heart. I value the connection and constant love they show towards their owners. I treat my dog like my daughter and would love to have have more one day. It would be a pleasure to care after your family member. I work full time M-F, with the ability to stop at home during the day. Also my wife is home most Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. So we work together to let the dogs out at appropriate time and keep them on their feeding schedule. Weekends are fun times with plenty walking, hikes, swimming, and dog parks if the owner is comfortable with us doing so. We go for two to 3 walks a day with our playful lab pups. We always have dogs on leash, and we have multiple kennels for our dogs if needed.

“Crystal was great with Murphy. She was on time, respectful of our training regimen and was a great help with burning off some of Murphy's puppy energy. We will definitely use her again.”


About: I worked for the humane society for 1 year and there I worked with a range of dogs, including pits, puppies, seniors, special needs, and ‘behavioral’ dogs. I also know training to an extent! No dog is too much for me! This is my full-time job, along with taking care of my own animals at home! I have a very flexible schedule and I am willing to work with any needs and I can do overnights. In my home, my dogs have electric collars to make sure they do not run off. I also keep an eye on them while they’re outside. They are fed on a schedule and also walked one on as well. My cats are also fed on a scheduled, daily litter box changes, and of course play time just like my dogs. In a client’s home I will do what they prefer so that they’re comfortable with me! I am responsible and respectful of others property and items, as one should be!

About: I’ve lived in a home with multiple dogs throughout my entire life and love meeting new pups! I have dog/cat sat for neighbors before, but otherwise most of my knowledge comes from taking care of my own dogs. I’m a college student looking to make a bit of extra money for school :) I’m currently working other part time jobs in the evening, so I’d be available in the morning and afternoon for pet care. I’m willing to stay overnight if needed and would love to spend some quality play time with your pets! Let me know how you would like me to best take care of your pet! I will follow directions, such as if they sleep in a crate, bed, or somewhere else!

About: I’ve been dog sitting for neighborhood families since I was 10. I have walked dogs, fed and gave medication, spent time playing, and sometimes did grooming. I’m currently a full time college student but my schedule has minimal morning classes leaving me lots of time to take care of your pets! I’m very good at following the directions of the owners so that their pet is always safe and comfortable. I would never do something for the pet without permission of the owners. I am good with open communication with owners.
