About: My life intertwines with animals—Bull Terriers, cats, and every creature becoming my teachers of unconditional love and profound connection. Where others saw breed stereotypes, I discovered souls waiting to be understood and cherished. For over two decades, I've dedicated myself to understanding and rehabilitating Bull Terriers, showing the world their gentle, loving hearts beneath muscular exteriors. Fostering and caring these dogs isn't just a task—it's an art of patience and mutual understanding. They can be challenging, but their capacity for love is unparalleled. Each dog has taught me more about compassion than any human interaction ever could. My connection extends beyond traditional companions. Every being, whether fur, feather, or leaf, deserves respect and love. Fur, Friendship, and Fighting Stigmas: My Journey with Bull Terriers 🐾 I'm currently working from home when I'm not traveling. My flexible shcedule allows me to accommodate my job, work flows around their needs. Morning plays, midday cuddles, and ongoing companionship is what we are used to at home. In my home, every furry friend becomes family. With a spacious, securely fenced yard, your pets will enjoy freedom, play, and companionship among my loving pack. Sofas and beds are open territories were cuddles and comfort reign supreme. Bring your pet's favorite blanket, cherished toy, or familiar crate—I want them to feel instantly at home. Here, individual needs are honored, anxieties soothed, and tails wag with pure joy. Your fur baby isn't just a guest; they're treasured and protected. Where comfort meets compassion, healing begins.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I raised two dogs from puppyhood. Lucy lived to 18, and my current pup, Porscha, is now 14. I also have a 15 year old cat, AppleJack, I’ve had since she was a kitten. So I know what it’s like to care for pets at every stage of life, from playful zoomies to slower senior strolls. I started pet sitting because I wasn’t looking to commit to another full time pet, but I still wanted to spend my days caring for animals and helping fellow pet parents. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m especially great with: Puppies and senior pets Shy or anxious animals Keeping routines and providing lots of updates (with cute pics!) At Playful Paws, your pet will feel safe, loved, and totally at home. I work fully remote, and so does my husband, which gives us the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or some evening cuddles, we’re usually home and available to help. Being remote means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and we can easily adjust to their routine. Weekdays, weekends, we’re here to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and respect for their routine. At home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces, a clean setting, and plenty of playtime. My husband and I both work remotely, so someone’s almost always home for companionship and supervision. In your home, I’m mindful of your space and your pet’s habits. I follow instructions closely, whether that’s meal times, meds, or favorite toys, and I always keep things tidy and secure. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in caring, capable hands.

About: I’ve been a dog mom for over 18 years and grew up surrounded by pups, so caring for dogs feels like second nature to me. I’ve looked after everything from bouncy puppies who never sit still to sweet senior dogs who just want a cozy spot and some gentle love. I’m also experienced with giving medications and helping dogs who need a little extra care or patience. What sets me apart? I treat every dog like they’re my own ..spoiled, loved, and talked to like they actually understand me (because let’s be real, they totally do). Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, or just laying around doing absolutely nothing, I’ve got them covered. I’ll also keep you in the loop with plenty of cute updates along the way! I work from home full-time, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, love, and potty breaks throughout the day. I take my own dogs out several times a day and keep a consistent routine that helps them feel comfortable and cared for.🫶 When caring for pets in my home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every dog like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed from the moment they arrive. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with plenty of cozy spots for naps and a peaceful environment for dogs of all ages. I want each dog to feel right at home. For walks, I stay alert to our surroundings, and avoid high-traffic areas or unfamiliar dogs unless discussed beforehand. Whether your pup is staying with me or just joining me for a stroll, you can count on me to treat them with love, patience, and the same level of care I give my own dogs.

“Jennie was great with my pup Chief! He seemed like he had a great time at her place, and she gave great updates while he was there. Will definitely use Jennie again!”


About: Do you love spoiling your furbaby? If so, look no further! We are a family of dog lovers who love nothing more than treating your dog like family. As the former owners of a precious, gentle, and spoiled boxer who lived to the ripe old age of 12.5, our kids ask almost every day for us to adopt another dog. While we aren't quite ready to own another one just yet, we love keeping our doors wide open to care for dogs and are looking to meet a few new fur friends! In addition to having owned a dog, we have experience caring for other people's dogs off and on for the past fourteen years. Our children (aged 6 and 8) have been raised to both love and respect dogs, and love to play, cuddle, and care for dogs without overwhelming them and making sure their needs are met. Take a look at the pictures to see them in action! We know that every dog has different needs, and we are sensitive to them. We have a wonderfully walkable neighborhood, a five-foot-high concrete fenced in backyard, and plenty of hands ready to pet and play. We allow dogs on our furniture and our bed if that's what your doggo needs! When caring for an animal, we try to cater to their needs as much as possible. We are happy to keep your dog on their routine at home, and also enjoy bringing them into our routines as they would like. One of our humans works from home full-time, and the other part-time, and the two little humans are both in elementary school. As such, there's typically always a human at home to tend to your animal's needs. We have a very dog friendly home, with tile floors throughout and a fully fenced in backyard. We have a very walkable neighborhood and working from home, we believe in plenty of walks if that is what your dog enjoys. If your dog loves car rides, we are happy for them to join us in dropping off and picking up our kids from school. We enjoy the occasional hike and a trip to Starbucks, so if your dog likes that too, a hike and a pup cup are something we're happy to spoil your dog with. If your dog is a lap dog, we love to Netflix and chill and always have an open lap. To limit dander, we do give a quick bath in our walk-in shower after your dog has settled in for those who haven't had a recent bath. If this causes excessive anxiety, we do request that your dog is recently bathed before coming over.

“Ted was so great! He accommodated my special needs dogs last minute and was super communicative the whole time. He sent lots of pics/vids and updated me on how they were doing. Definitely going to be using him in the future!!!”

I never have to worry because she’s quick to respond if I do have any questions or concerns. Every time my dog comes home, he’s happy, healthy, and clearly loved like family. It’s such a comfort knowing my pup is in such caring hands! I would highly recommend Billi to watch your furry friend because she loves them like they are hers. I never need to worry about Chance when he's there.”

Patrick & Meredith H.
“Patrick and his wife, Meredith, adopted an aging boxer after a neighbor had her first child and the child had allergies to the dog. They loved and babied that boxer in his last years as if they had gotten him when he was a pup. When the original owner would come over to walk or visit the boxer, the boxer would obediently greet the original owner and then quickly hide behind furniture for fear he'd have to go back to his original home. He knew he had it too good to leave Patrick and Meredith. Seeing how they preciously treated that boxer, friends started asking if they would care for their dogs when they were out-of-town. The friends' dogs loved coming to their house to stay and play because they were made to feel part of the family. Home away from home!”
