Teddy played all day with Leslie. She sent many pictures and videos for updates. She checked off the list of Teddy's needs and followed up on all of them. We could tell that she was totally dedicated to Teddy for the entire day! Teddy transitioned home perfectly. Thank You, Leslie!

About: I am happy to provide a cozy and fun spot for your pup to hang out. My Pit mix and I spend a lot of our time in the garden, pool cage, or acre yard. My Pitty is very friendly, she has been purposefully and extensively socialized so that we can do this work together. The atmosphere here is serene and I’d love to share that with more pups in my neighborhood! Currently I work part-time from home and I’m hoping to supplement some lost income with something I enjoy. That will benefit my pup and my neighbors pups! Since I work from home I can offer my services any day of the week for boarding or sitting. I cannot help but empathize with animals. I love making dogs happy, they are such pure souls. While I make a point to set appropriate boundaries and keep an eye on everybody, I believe in leading with kindness. If you choose to have me stay at your home I am happy to do some cleaning or light chores for you while I am there.

Beth was a wonderful host for Teddy. He can be very anxious on his first visit, but Beth obviously knew how to handle him and make him calm. She opened her home and sent a picture as they sat together. He was so relaxed on the ride home, I could tell he enjoyed the day with Beth and Snickers! Thanks Beth for going the extra mile!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have also fostered while in college, so I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I think what sets me apart is that I’m very reliable and organized — I take routines seriously and understand that pets need consistency. I’m also very active, so if your dog loves long walks and staying busy, I’m a great fit. At the same time, I’m patient and calm with more anxious or slower-paced dogs. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am home most of the day, which means your dog will receive consistent attention, regular walks, and proper feeding on time. I understand how important routine and structure are for pets, and I take that seriously. Safety is really important to me. I’m very mindful about secure leashing, keeping doors closed, and supervising at all times. My home is clean and safe, and I make sure dogs are comfortable and never left unattended in risky situations. I want you to feel completely confident leaving your dog with me.

Amy and her daughters were so great with our energetic puppy!! She got all her energy out in the few hours they were together. They went to the dog park, and let our puppy go to town in their pool (which is her happy place)!! Will 200% be scheduling a bunch more play dates!

About: What sets me apart is that I am reliable, caring, and very responsible. As a college student-athlete at Hood College, I have strong time management skills and a flexible summer schedule. I am patient with young pets, attentive to senior pets, and always make sure animals feel comfortable, active, and cared for. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages while they are away. I am home from school for the summer and have a very flexible schedule! I only have hockey practice 3 days a week, so I’m available most days and times. I would love to help out!! I provide loving, reliable care for pets in both my home and my client’s home depending on what works best for the family and pet. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and attention, and stay comfortable in their normal routine. I am happy to walk dogs, play with them, give medications if needed, clean litter boxes, and provide updates/photos to owners while they are away. I also make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable at all times.

About: Chris is a passionate dog owner who also works remotely in the pet industry. He works from home in his LWR house with his 3-year old Cavalier King Charles, Freddy. Chris and Freddy would love to have a friend to play with! Chris works remotely Monday-Friday and generally has hours from 8am-6pm but is fairly flexible during that period to play and to walk his doggy coworkers. Chris lives in a private country club with minimal car traffic. It is easy for Chris to take our Freddy and his daycare visitors for frequent walks.

About: I’m a college student who grew up with two dogs and have been watching dogs since I was 10. I’ve also fostered dogs, so I know how to care for them in different situations. People trust me to look after their pets when they’re out of town, knowing they’ll be in good hands. I’m currently a pre-medical student at FSU, but l love to be around animals in my free time. I’m available during the week days monday-friday. I will walk your dog around campus, and areas where traffic is slow. If your dog likes dog parks, I can also bring them there to burn some energy.
