Dog Sitting Lakeside

About: 🌴 WHO WILL HAVE A BETTER VACATION YOU OR YOUR PUP? 🚤 📸 Here at DOODS ON DOCKS they will have a great staycation on our beautiful lake property. Enjoy your vacation knowing your dog will be as happy as you are over the holidays or your time away. With my services you get what you pay for. Your dog is a family member. They are not left outside, or in a kennel. They're a part of our home. They sleep with us and do everything we do. I have 30 years experience working with dogs through volunteering and fostering thru the Humane Society and Rescues. I'm very dog savey and most dogs realize I am the pack leader and rely on me for that. I have clients that have senior dogs that require meds, and personal care. This is not a problem. What sets me apart from most pet sitters is that I go above and beyond for the pups. Someone is home 90% of the time. I have had clients that have been with me for many years. At my house you get what you pay for and more. It looks easy and fun on my part however, there’s alot that goes into it besides all the scooping….. Starting with reservations. I always have a free meet and greet. I consider all the dogs I will be having at that time to see if all my guests will enjoy their experience, and how I need to accommodate them. As they arrive, and while they’re here I still study each personality to see who can play together and who would rather just “stay out of it”. Since the dogs live in the house like my own pets, I want to make sure everyone is happy. No dog is crated or kenneled unless that is what the dog requires. There’s outside play time at least twice a day. Which might involve chasing a ball, squirrel, duck, or swimming in the lake, or lounging in the sun. If you need a staycation for your pet where they will come home exhausted and happy, let me know. 1. I can pick up and deliver your pup if needed for an extra fee. 2. I live on the lake. 3. I can also bath and do light grooming if needed including nails. 4. 📸 But the most important thing is that pictures and communication cell 📱 📞 with the pups parents are sent many times a day so that you know your dog is safe, and basically having a blast here at my house. We live on the lake so there's lots of room to run and play, however we do have a dog area with a doggie door so they can come and go. All dogs live inside with us and sleep in our room if they want to. My family works from home so someone is here most of the time. My personal dogs are use to having dogs visit us at home and it's never an issue. All dogs are treated like our own and loved. Their needs are always accommodated so that their parents can feel assured that they are well taken care of without any worries while they are gone. I have a doggie area that is large that the dogs can use with a doggie door. This area also has our hot tub so they often play outside or "talk" to us while we use the hot tub. I have a large back yard that the dogs can enjoy while we are there to supervise them. Dogs are not left unattended in the back yard. I live on a quiet one way street with neighbors only to the left and right of me. We all know each others dogs and can identify them.

About: I’ve always been a dog lover and grew up taking care of, training, and of course loving my family dog, Potter. I have three years of pet sitting and dog walking experience but well over a decade of experience if you count Potter! I also have volunteer experience at the SPCA and Humane Society with both dogs and cats. I know how stressful it can be to find the right person to trust with taking care of your fur baby when you’re gone away or even out of the house for long hours during the day, and I pride myself on always providing the best care I possibly can from sending lots of photos and updates to following all of the sometimes silly and seemingly overcomplicated little rituals and routines your baby is used to doing when you’re home with them! I’m a professional ballet dancer and currently in my summer “off season” so my schedule is extremely flexible and can accommodate whatever works best for you and your pets! I always like to do an in person introduction with you and your pets so I’m able to get to know exactly how you guys like do things, and of course to get to know your fur baby so I’m not a total stranger when I’m looking after them while you’re away! I have first hand experience with good and bad pet sitters for my own fur babies so it’s really important to me that both you and your pets are comfortable and feel confident with me before I take care of them!

“Amber was absolutely amazing when I was scrolling looking for someone I just got a great feeling about her I made the perfect Choice. I was away on a birthday trip 7 days, and she took incredible care of my cat, Arrow, the entire time. She kept in touch with me every day, sending updates and pictures that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She made sure Arrow was well cared for, played with him, scooped his litter box, and even took the litter outside afterward to make sure my apartment stayed fresh which was great to come home to. She also took the time to let him drink from the faucet his absolute favorite thing! which showed me that she really paid attention to his personality and routines. On top of taking such great care of Arrow, Amber went above and beyond by bringing my trash can in and even putting my birthday flowers inside the house and in fridge to keep them fresh for me 🥹 It’s clear that Amber genuinely cares about the pets she watches and treats them like her own. Knowing Arrow and my home were in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend Amber to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and thoughtful pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Hi! I’m Skylar and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from puppies to senior dogs. I’m comfortable with leash training, high-energy dogs, and pets that need a little extra patience or structure. I also care for reptiles, fish, and other animals, so I’m very attentive to feeding schedules, behavior changes, and safety. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, enriched, and well cared for while their owners are away. I treat every animal like they’re my own and I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and detailed reports. I work weekdays from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, so I’m available for evening walks, play visits, and check-ins after work. I also offer weekend boarding, where dogs will get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and I provide updates and photos so owners can see how their pets are doing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard and experience caring for multiple dogs safely. Dogs are supervised during playtime and introductions are done slowly to ensure everyone is comfortable. I can also crate dogs for rest or feeding if needed. During weekend boarding, dogs will have a structured, safe environment with playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and safe.

About: Growing up, I’ve always been a cat owner and my parents have always owned dogs. I’ve always looked after our animals, especially when my parents were out of town or just out for a few hours! I know our animals mean the most to us, so I make sure they get pampered like they deserve! I also love to see all types of pet personalities and what makes them thrive happily! I plan to do this part-time and currently have a completely free schedule for any pet owner in need. To mornings, evenings, and even nights..! Just like I do to my pets, I’ll pampers yours as well. From basic needs, to even bathing and grooming (Just nails being trimmed and brushing)! If your pets have any medications, I make sure those are given to the pet at the times they’re needed. I also make sure that all pets get out all the energy they need like walks, running around in your backyard, and even a cute game of tug-of-war and fetch. Every pet has an attitude and voice that I make sure is heard!

About: I’ve always been around dogs my entire life and had many puppies I’ve had to taken care of and nurture after. I absolutely love dogs and all animals in general, a little more than humans, lol. This is a new account for myself but I have dog sitter multiple times with my mom for her clients and helped her out, so I am not new to this. I’m good with training and disciplining dogs, especially with behavior correction. I understand how to handle dogs of all natures, including puppies and senior dogs, dogs with different and special needs, and dogs that love attention. Professionally sitting other people’s dogs, I have about 3 years of experience but in general, dogs have always been apart of my life! As of now, I am currently unemployed as I am trying to get into my local police department. In the meantime, I would like to make some extra money and do so by doing the thing I love to care for most, animals and dogs! If you crate your dog, that will be done. If you want your dog out but need certain things done before hand, done. The safety of your animals are super important to me and making sure they are taken care of is top priority!!

About: I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats and have always loved being around animals. I currently help care for my three “pup nephews” (all pugs!) and frequently dog sit for family. I’m very comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. As a teacher, I’m patient, dependable, and great at following routines and instructions. Since I’m off for summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the care and attention they deserve. I also enjoy being active, going on walks/runs, and taking dogs to the park for exercise and fun! I’m currently on summer break from teaching, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m available during weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and playtime. Because I have extra free time this summer, I’m able to give pets lots of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with access to a dog park and nearby walking trails/parks where pets can get exercise and fresh air. While my apartment is cozy, I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routines, instructions, and environment to help pets feel secure and stress-free. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I treat every animal with the same love and attention I would give my own family pets.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, from helping my parents dog sit all breeds and growing up to raising my own cats and dogs. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal care and individual needs. I’m reliable, organized, and intentional with my time. I genuinely care for your pets and will make sure you feel that way too! I’m home for the summer, so I will be available to care for your pets all the time! I plan on going beyond the feeding time and the potty time to ensure your pet feels safe and loved. I love to spend time with animals making them feel loved, and making sure they are safe. Let me know what your pets love to do and I will make sure to do that!

“Kendall was absolutely amazing! She stopped by to do a meet and greet on short notice and was also able to check in on Leia for an extra day due to my plans changing. She was so great with Leia and I could tell that Leia really enjoyed her time with Kendall as well. She gave so much attention to Leia while with her, and I really appreciated that. She gave very detailed check ins(with lots of pics), which was so nice as I was out of town. I could not recommend Kendall enough if you are in need of someone to show lots of love to your pup!”

About: Hey there! Call me Katie. Amateur Animal Whisperer. I LOVE cats and dogs alike. I'm so thankful for your interest and trust in me! I am a lover of nature and all life it encompasses. I have professional experience with animals, children, and house sitting. I do well with animals of all breeds, species, ages and needs. I never meet an animal I don't love. All my life, I have had a gift for bringing peace to otherwise 'unfriendly' or 'unwelcoming' animals. It is not uncommon for me to be cuddling with a friend's dog or cat... Later to find their astonishment at their animal allowing me (or anyone) to do so! I am comfortable and do very well with animals with special needs. I am only 5'2 but I have a passion for Great Danes! And birds! And cats! I feel I am very attentive, intuitive, and loving with people and animals alike. I am looking forward to getting to know your furry family members! Thank you for reading! I am self employed, with a flexible schedule so I can accommodate your pets’ specific needs. I love building relationships and sense of trust with your babies: making them feel safe and loved during drop ins, walks and play time. Life is busy for you! When you’re away, my goal is to bring you and your animal babies peace of mind. I like to adapt to your babies natural routine as closely as possible.

“She was the best!!! Will definitely be using her again!!!”
