About: I have taken care of a variety of dog breeds and pets for years. I have been entrusted by neighbors, family, and friends to care for their pets specific needs and wants. No request is too big or small to provide for the joy returned to me whether it's my own fur babies or yours. As an educator I have alot felixability. I am currently free during the weekdays and weekends to board and care for your pet if needed. I have a fenced in backyard with my two dogs, Skittles and Pop-tart to keep your fur-baby company. I can easily crate your pet if you prefer in

10. Daniel S.
“I wouldn't trust my Charlotte with anyone other than Dan. We travel a long distance to get the professional care that Dan provides. His warm and loving way with the dogs gives the owner security when away. I have witnessed Dan with my dog and it was remarkable to watch! I call Dan the dog whisperer because of his keen sense of knowing what the dogs are thinking.The setup at Dan's home is optimum for the dogs well being. There is no better place to board your dog!! It's paradise!”
11. Brian S.
“Brian loved Scooby and made sure he is eats, drinks and take him for a walk even longer than I paid for, he treated him like his own, this is my second time I book walks with Brian and will always do, definitely recommend him to my friends, family and neighbors, thank you very much Brian for taking care of Scooby!”
12. joseline f.
“Joseline has many exotic pets at home, ranging from dogs to cats to a bearded dragon to a fish. She even has a turtle. When she invited a bird to her house, she gave it all the attention and food it deserves. She treats her pets as if they were her own children, which I come to understand they are. A few years ago, her second turtle died, which she had since her teenage years and Joseline was distraught for a quite a while. I also have a cat of my own, to which Joseline took care of. She brought him back from the vet, made sure my cat had food and water available and stayed with him for a while before leaving to her house. Entrusting her with my cat was not a difficult choice, since I know she would take care of my cat as one of her children. As you can conclude, Joseline has had many years of experience with different kinds of animals. Joseline can be flexible as she can be pleasant to work with. I am sure if you were entrust your furry companion to Joseline, it would be another member of the family.”

14. Jessica O.
About: I have fostered 20+ dogs ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I also grew up with a dog that eventually came to live with me in college and I was able to provide the best care for her while balancing school as well. I am well trusted by friends to watch their new puppies when they are either on vacation or need a quick pee break. I have also grown up around dogs and have cared for anyone’s dogs like they are my own weather it is a friends dog, strangers dog, or a foster dog that needs some love and attention before finding a forever home. I am very passionate about dogs and know all dogs are different and need different care. I’m currently in between jobs so I am able to stop by for walks, playing, or just hanging out with them so they are not lonely during the day. I also have a free time to be able to do overnight stays. I will not be able to watch dogs in my own home, but at the clients home I will be sure to follow all rules provided. I will make sure to not stray from their daily life style and make sure they feel as if the owner never left them.
