About: Hello! My name is Matt, and I’m a devoted dog owner and caretaker with a passion for providing a safe and loving environment for your furry friends. I have two adorable pups of my own—an affectionate 12-year-old toy poodle (the boss) and an energetic 4-year-old doodle. They are both well-socialized and love making new friends, so your dog will feel right at home in our household! I work from home full-time, so I’m always available to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. My home is equipped with a secure, fenced backyard where your dog can run, play, and explore in a safe environment. I understand that every dog is unique and has their own needs and routines. I’m committed to ensuring that your pet feels comfortable and happy while they’re with me. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or just lounging around, I’m here to provide the care and companionship your dog deserves. I look forward to meeting your furry friends and giving them a delightful experience while you are away! I work from home full-time which allows me ample time to care for your pup, including playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. Both of my pups are very friendly and love making new friends. I have a fenced yard, and two pups to keep your pet company. Both of my dogs are crate trained. I can provide a crate if need be for sleeping accommodations

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for over 20 years. From training puppies (& lots of walks) to caring for aging dogs. I’ve enjoyed it all. I’m a stay at home mom to teenagers. I am happy to spend my time at home taking great care of your pet family members. We love having your pet in our home, but I do not take more than one or two pets at a time (1 family) and I don’t take boarding or care request that are more than two weeks long. I have a large fenced in backyard. I can also take care of pets in your home, but only full overnight on Friday & Saturday.
About: I am a golden retriever owner with 10 years of experience. I care for every pet like family—reliable, loving, and always mindful of their individual needs. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I’m retired with a flexible weekday schedule, so I can give pets consistent attention, walks, and companionship all day. In your home, I will give your dog lots of love, walks, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, potty breaks, and a safe, calm environment.
About: I have always been a lover of animals. I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits, guniea pigs, and hamsters. Every single animal I’ve had has been given the love they deserve. Giving them all their play time, I have a huge fenced in yard for dogs to run around in and play fetch. If pets need their own space, I can accommodate that. If you need me to take extra time out for them I can offer that as well! I’m here to help! I am a hairstylist by trade for 27 years and love what I do, I work part time to be home more with my children. Being a hairstylist, I love helping my clients look and feel good. That being said, I figured I can help people in other ways as well and being that I love animals, why not help people with their pets by taking care of them! I take my dog on daily walks, except for Tuesdays and Saturdays but those are the days I work in the salon, but my husband takes our dog out. She also will go to my mother's house in the summer to swim with us as she absolutely loves the pool! Being that I am home most of the week, watching dogs fits well into my schedule. I will treat other people's pets as if they were my own. As long as they are potty trained, I will allow them to walk freely in my home, I have a huge fenced in yard for them to run and play. As long as the weather is beautiful out, I will take them on walks as well with my family! Myself and my family will treat your pets as if they were ours! We will show them love the entire time they are with us!

If I’m in another home I’ll follow your schedule and your dogs will have all their needs fulfilled.
“Morgan was great for multiple check ins with my dog, Juno! She showed up on time, was great with communication with me, and dealt with her crazy energy levels. She gave medication and food at the times we asked. She was great and we’d definitely use her again!”
About: Love and respect animals of all kinds. Long-time dog owner...all of which have lived beyond life expectancy. Simply put, I have a good rapport with almost every dog I have come in contact with. On the most basic level I am kind, trustworthy, and honest. I have a fairly flexible schedule and can work with dog owners own schedule. Flexible pet care would not be an issue for me as I can be available day and night. I have a pet-friendly home and I have a large expanse of woods behind my house with trails. Pets under my care would always be on a leash unless in a fenced yard.

She is very trustworthy and I feel at ease when she is taking care of them. Sincerely, Susan M”
Nicole B.
“I have a super energetic dog and he can be a handful, but Nicole handles him well and not only does she keep up with my dog’s energy, but she also follows his medication schedule perfectly, which gives me real peace of mind because he gets really bad allergies if the medication stops.
