About: I have lived dog with multiple dogs my whole life. I have 5 years of experience in the veterinary world that has broadened my horizon to the variety of breeds out there and the different requirements they need. I also specialize in medicating our furry friends in the most stress-free way possible. I have experience training my own service dog from 8 weeks old to present and continue to keep his training up to date. I also specialize in hospice care for our are geriatric puppies, because no matter how old they are, they are always puppies to us. I am currently pet sitting for people Part-Time. my goal is to make caring for animals my full-time job. While I continuemaking commissioned pet portraits! Along with other commissions for various prints and paintings. At my house, dogs will eat separately from other dogs for safety and have long line leash walks for potty breaks. If a pet is known to have toy aggression, toys will be taken out of the equation. I do have a service dog that comes with me everywhere including my clients homes. If a client 's pet is dog aggressive or the cats are scared of dog, I will not have my service dog interact with them to give comfort and safety for all.

About: Dogs bring so much joy and purpose to my life, I genuinely love spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 15 years, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra TLC. As a dog mom to both a Miniature Schnauzer and a Great Dane, I’m confident handling everything from tiny paws to big personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m happy to work on leash and obedience training and love engaging dogs in mentally stimulating games that keep their minds sharp and tails wagging. Whether your pup needs calm companionship or an active play buddy, I’ll show up with patience, care, and lots of love. I work from home part time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pup! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekday care. Because I’m home all day, your dog will have lots of love, attention, and playtime. I enjoy keeping dogs on a consistent routine with regular walks, meals, and play.. structure helps them feel safe and happy! Although my yard isn’t fenced, I always keep dogs leashed during outdoor time to ensure their safety. Inside, my home is spacious and perfect for supervised play and lounging. I live with two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having guests around. I’m comfortable crating dogs if needed and will always follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel at home. I prioritize structure, predictability, and lots of affection to make sure every dog in my care feels secure and loved.

About: I promise you trust, communication, comfortability, and great care! I love pets! I grew up with a Golden Retriever named Skippy! I now own my beautiful mut mix of Lab, Pit and Blood Hound. His name is Maverick! He's 2 and such a loving, happy dude! I currently dog sit my mom's 3 Boston Terriors whenever she needs to go out of town and have been since I was a teenager. I also take in my best friend's older pit bull, Cookie, and her and Maverick get along wonderfully! There's plenty of space to walk dogs around my apartment community, along with a fenced in tennis court area where they can run free! I work full time AT HOME so I'm flexible just looking to make some extra money I work from home Monday through Friday, and am available most weekends, so I have lots of time and flexibility to care for your doggos! I live in an apartment but it's very dog friendly! I will ensure your dog gets lots of attention and love! I have access to lots of trails, open pet areas, and a fenced in tennis court where they can run free and we can play fetch! My dog is very friendly and has lots of experience around other dogs. I do have a large dog crate if that is required or necessary.

About: Hello, I’m Max! I’d love to care for your fur babies. I have experience with a wide variety of animals. I currently own a one year old Red-Nose Pitbull and been working with him since he was a few weeks old. He’s one of the many dogs that I’ve trained throughout my life. I’d love to experience life’s opportunities with your Paw-some companion! I’m currently a Substitute Teacher for CCPS so during the summer I have full availability to care for your babies. During the school year I’m available weekends, with weekdays have a bit more of a limited schedule. I feel as though it’s best to not only physically stimulate animals, but also mentally. Whether it be going for walks, training, mental exercises, or something as simple as love, I’m committed to do it all.

“Carlita is super responsible, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. The dogs love her and we truly appreciate how she's been able to help us get their leash training back on track after a lazy winter. Thanks for being a great new best friend to the pups!”

About: I work from home, so have the flexibility to care for your pets. I can care for your pup or kittens or even an older pet with special needs. My schedule is flexible, so I can travel to you as needed. Weekdays after 3:00 pm or weekends are the best times, and I can discuss other times as my schedule allows. I will work with you to provide the best care for your pet. If your dog or cat has special needs, we can talk about what will work best.

About: I grew up around dogs and a cat. I love spending time with fur creatures. I would be happy to check on your pet if you can’t. Summer is here, and you may need some extra help. My summer hours are very flexible. Please let me know how I can help you out. I accept same day requests. I don’t mind sitting with your pet and keeping them company. I can also take your dog for regular walks to ensure they are getting the exercise they need in your absence.

About: I have a lot of knowledge with most exotics as well, I’m happy to help with any bird, turtles/tortoise, fish, snake, any lizard, monkeys, any rodent, rabbit, chicken, horses, pigs, cow, goats and sheep. I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. My whole family and all neighbors always go to me with any questions or concerns. I also work with The Wildlife Center and do some small animal rehabilitation. I currently have one dog, one snake (very small), one fish and one hamster. I’ve recently fostered 3 tortoises, a senior dog and a bearded dragon. I am able to do some puppy training and very knowledgeable in senior care for dogs and cats. I am currently a stay at home mom and my kids are in school full time. I have my real estate license as well as degree in pharmacology but I’d much rather work with animals at my own pace. I have a decent sized fully fenced in backyard and one 7 year old dog to keep them company. I am also able to crate your animals if that is something that is preferred. My dog is extremely sweet and loves to play with all of her dog friends that come to visit. She is up to date on all vaccines and my house is very clean but pet friendly.

About: Dogs have been in my world for 40+ years. I rescued Rotties for most of that time. Most Rescued Rotts come with major needs. I welcomed all. The last one couldn't walk without me for 6 years. No one else was allowed to take care of her . In last 2 years, I've been caring for friends retrievers while working (potty breaks and overnights) I work from home M-F running a business. Weekends are not available as those are show dates. Very flexible schedule, last minute drop off in needed. Bowls/dishes provided. Large backyard with a brand new 6 foot wooden fence. House is a rancher so no steps to be concerned with. Lots of play/activity time I need to fulfill my emptiness of putting my "Brandi" Down.

“We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Amanda. Her love for animals is obvious and she is great with both of our dogs (one of which struggles with reactivity). Additionally, Amanda has gone above and beyond for our family when we really needed her. We highly recommend her!”

“Thanks! Lexie does love a good stick. Cindy said you found a tick on Lexie, her tick control is due tomorrow. We've had her on flea, tick, heartworm combo since we got to VA. We will make sure the other two are tick free. Thanks for taking great care of our kids.”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I currently have 3 and they are loads of fun and truly part of the family. It helps instill the responsibility in my kids as well, helping to care for them. We are complete dog people and really enjoy having them in our lives! Though i can’t board cats, I’m more than happy to do drop ins for your kitties as well! I can also offer pup drop in visits as well if you’d rather your pups stay in the comfort of their own home. My dogs are great with other dogs as well and enjoy extra friend playmates! My dogs are also crate trained at night so all fur babies feel safe and secure in their relaxing place to sleep soundly. I care for dogs full time to be able to fully care for your pets and their needs! While i do have a part time job out of the home, it’s only a few days a week for a few hours. We have plenty of space to play and run and nap when they’re worn out from fun :) my downstairs is set up with gates for the spare rooms to give pups their own space while we have downtime or for feeding or sleeping. I have a large privacy fenced yard with plenty of run room for high energy and play time! We also have plenty of space in the house for the times we’re inside or weather is bad.

“Quick responses and easy to communicate with.”
