“Karlyn is the answer to our prayers! Seriously! We have a giant breed, a large breed and a stubborn English bulldog who is thinks he’s in charge. Karlyn clearly loves each one of them and it shows in the videos and pics she sends. Having peace of mind leaving our furry family behind is no longer a stressor for my family. Thank you Karlyn!!”

15. Lauren K.
About: I own 1 dog and 2 cats of my own currently, and have had dogs my entire life! I care for friends and family’s animals currently and for the last 10 years. My house is an animal’s dream with lots of toys and enrichment and is guaranteed to be a great time for your babies I work full time Monday-Friday until 5pm for the next few months and then will be WFH from here on out. For the time being I can’t accept animals who need let out more frequently than 7 hours I have separate rooms and areas for the animals in my house that can be sectioned off depending on the needs of the animals. My pup is kennel trained as well, so depending on the comfort for dogs we have multiple options for care. (Boarding only!)-I do require your dog to be kennel trained for the safety of both of the dogs when I am not able to be home.

18. Christy M.
About: I love animals and I love exercise, so here I am combining the two. I’m excited to try something new and also help out within my community by providing a healthy and heartwarming service I work Mon through Fri 7A-330P in construction. Some weeks I will have OT and will have to reschedule/ adjust my schedule here but other than that I’m pretty flexible. I prefer waking up early to being out late- but can and will accommodate. My pets are spoiled rotten. Constant truck rides and walks, and you can always find a ball or toy that belongs to the girls(dogs). And endless twig sticks and cardboard boxes inside with some windows equipped with bird feeders for the boys(cats). The girls have all day everyday access to fenced backyard and climate controlled garage included with the best neighbors and then to the comfy couch at night. The boys indulge in a cool environment while not moving much from one spot of the couch. Extras include opened curtain scenic views along with nature noises from the tv.


19. Michelle D.
“Michelle is one of the most caring people I know. She has been a dog mom for many years now and loves her pets very much. She would be a perfect person to help with your pets!”


20. Owen C.
“Owen has been walking and housesitting overnight with our two small dogs for 2-3 years now. Our dogs can be difficult and stubborn at times but Owen is great with them. Any messes the dogs may make when we are gone are always cleaned up when we get home. We communicate with Owen over text and if we ever want to check on the dogs while we are gone he has always responded quickly.”
