“Kathy was great and checked in on our kitties while we were out of town. It was great knowing they were being fed and litter cleaned! She also sent pictures each day which I loved!”

About: Your dog will stay on our private ranch with plenty of room to play, explore, and relax in a safe, supervised environment. Whether your dog is high-energy or prefers a slower pace, I tailor their care to fit their individual needs. I treat every dog like one of my own and strive to provide a safe, enriching, and stress free stay so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm experienced with dogs of all ages, from young puppies to seniors. Having raised multiple litters, I'm comfortable with puppy routines, potty training, and socialization, while also understanding the patience and attention senior dogs need, including medication administration and mobility support. I am not taking on reactive/aggressive dogs at this time unless they can be kenneled outside of the home. Reach out to discuss. Full time dog boarder and trainer working from home. I provide 24/7 care as if your dog was one of my own. Pickup and drop off hours in morning or evening. Very limited afternoon pickup/drop off availability. 5 acres fully fenced in along with smaller fenced in play yards. Home is air conditioned. Dogs can either exercise on the full property if recall trained or in one of the smaller, 6ft tall play yard areas if they need a smaller enclosed area.

“We were lucky to find Joanne and have her look after our cat, Max. He's a shy one and hides a lot. She must have superpowers because he came to her and let her pet him right away. She was punctual and let us know how he was doing every day with lots of pictures. Thanks Joanne, we really appreciate you looking after Max and will definitely be contacting you for future bookings.”

“Adrien was awesome with our cats Indy and Sully! They handled feeding, litter box duty, and even gave meds without any issues. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats and really appreciate the care Adrien gave them. Would definitely book with them again! Thank you!!”

About: I’ve had no less than 3 dogs and as many as 5 for the last 25 years. All things dog put me in my happy place and I’d love to help you out with yours. I’ve had puppies and seniors and everything in between. I work part time so I’m semi flexible. Tell me what you need and I’ll do my best to make it work. I’d love to add to my end of week and weekend work. I have a fully fenced backyard and a separate fenced side yard. Both have shady areas. I also don’t mind having pets in my home so I’d imagine they would be inside with me the majority of the time. I’m also open to whatever you need for your pet in your home.

About: I have owned Dogs for 30 years and love interactions with them. I am patient with young energetic dogs and senior dogs where they need that special love.D9gs have a special place in my heart ❤️! I have lots of time on my hands to make sure to keep your dog happy. With plenty of love to give always make sure they stay active and relaxed. I have a big fenced in Yard and love being outdoors with them to have fun and making sure they are comfortable and happy. Let them sniff there little hearts out and enjoy vacation.

“Kristina is very conscientious and eager to spend time with our two male cats at every drop-in visit! I really appreciate the thoughtful updates and photographs via Rover cards. Thanks again Kristina!”

About: I’ve had all types of dogs and cats throughout my 58 years of life. I currently have two beautiful Rottweilers whom I love dearly. Now that I’m retired, my goal is to get some land and have an animal rescue. I like spending time with animals more than people. I am retired so my days are spent spending time with my two Rottweilers and going to the gym and that’s about it. I have plenty of time to help care for animals that need me. I will care for your dog in whatever way you request. My schedule with them will be exactly what you want it to be. Both my Rottweilers sleep in my bed with me so if your dogs normally sleep in the bed with you, I will do that too. Actually it’s my favorite 🥰. I get sad when I have to leave my Rottweilers with family only because I know they’ll miss sleeping with me, going to their favorite park and chasing the ball, and spending the entire day with me. Animals get used to their routine and it stresses them out and makes them sad when they don’t get to do their normal things and spend time with their people. So I will try to make them as happy as they can be while you’re gone.

“Kieran was the best! He took great care of my cats. Giselle loved him from day one and Giuseppe even eventually decided Kieran wasn’t so scary after all and came out of hiding. All the updates were detailed and he called if anything was out of the ordinary to get clarification or further instructions. I’m extremely happy with the services he provided.”

You can be confident that your pet is in the best hands and will receive top care, as caring for animals is my passion and pleasure:) Pet sitting and taking care of animals is my priority! Right now I only work part time but if anyone needs me to help out I’ll be there! I have four cats currently and I’ve had dogs.I’ve taken care of many other species and breeds for others as well so I am well versed in animal care.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and have always felt a strong connection with them. While growing up, we always had a dog, so I’ve been involved in the care and training of them my whole life. My first ever job was walking dogs when I was 8! My nickname growing up was Snow White because of my affinity for and ability to connect with animals. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so all of the love will go to your buddy. It is an ongoing joke among friends that their pets like me more than them sometimes! I’m not sure if that’s all the way true, but I do seem to have a special connection with animals. I also really enjoy taking portraits of animals. One of my favorite things is catching the unique personality of your pet that you know and love! I am happy to send these, along with updates about your pet, to you throughout the stay, as a generally summary at the end, or whenever requested! If you have any questions or there are specific needs for the care of your pet, please reach out. I would like to connect with you and discuss the stay to go through everything and make sure it is a good fit for everyone. I look forward to hearing from you! ☺️ I work full time, but only four days a week. My schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to do frequent check ins as needed. I like to schedule a meet and greet with all clients before their first booking. I believe this can help develop a sense of mutual trust between myself and pet parents, but also helps me get acquainted with your pets so they are more comfortable when I am there without you. During these meet and greets, I also like to go through any rules or expectations you may have, any special needs or requirements your pet(s) may have, and discuss any potential risk factors or common issues that could arise. During my walks, I like to keep pets on the inner side so they are not close to traffic. I do not let others pet without explicitly being told it is okay by you first. I also would not allow your pet interact with other animals without your express permission either. During drop ins, I always make sure everything is put away where it should be before leaving. I will also do a sweep of the area to make sure your pet didn’t get into anything before my arrival. If your pet is one that is in a kennel while home alone, I double check all latches to make sure they are secured before leaving.

“Eleanor did an amazing job with my dog, Bruno! We were out of town for 5 days and she went above and beyond for us. Our main need was dog walks but also we asked for her to help water the plants, feed our dog and make sure he has water and put our trash bins on the curb on trash day. She was amazing and so helpful with eve we asked. 100% recommend her! Thank you, Eleanor!!”

Kimber E.

“Very reliable person.”
