About: *MEET AND GREET REQUIRED PRIOR TO BOOKING* I have had 3 cats and 4 dogs, and I understand that every animal has its own personality and special needs. My 7 year old loves all dogs and all she wants to do is babysit dogs. Both of my kids are very responsible and caring. They love taking dogs for walks, playing with them, snuggling with them, feeding them, even picking up their poop! Please note that a meet and greet at our home with us adults and our 2 kids is REQUIRED prior to booking. This is for everyone’s comfort and safety. Thank you! I am offering full-time or part-time doggy daycare Monday-Friday. Weekends are for my human family, so at this time, I am not offering boarding. I (Sarah) am primarily responsible for the care of your animals. My husband (Steve) and my 2 daughters will help after school/work. We follow the pet owner’s care instructions, and make sure your animals are safe and happy. A meet and greet with all 4 of us at our home is REQUIRED prior to booking.

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was a kid, having grown up with two dogs and being part of their care from puppyhood through old age. I've looked after both dogs and cats for neighbors and families to whom I've provided childcare, and for the past year, I’ve regularly walked dogs housed at a county animal shelter. This has been such a rewarding activity and has increased my comfort in interacting with animals with a variety of temperaments. I'm an active person, so I’d love to get outdoors and moving as long as your pup is up for it! If necessary, I can bathe your pet and administer oral medications; if instructed may also be comfortable with injectables. I’m so excited to meet a new furry friend! I’m beginning medical school in the fall and am looking to establish some house/pet sitting relationships while my schedule is super flexible this summer! I love taking long walks and would love company from your pup, but I’m also happy to stop by and hang out with your pet in your home if that’s preferred. I’m available to stay overnight in your home if you’re traveling and need longer term help, too. I will be pet sitting in your home and want to fit into your pet's daily life as seamlessly as possible, so I'm happy to do whatever makes them happy! I'm an active person so whether your pet is high or low energy, I can cater to their needs.

About: I will take care of your best friend with the same love I show my sweet Labrador’s. I will show patience and love with each of your dogs walks and make sure that they get all their business done, plenty of exercise and time for sniffing all the things as well. If I sit over night you will have to specify not to let them on the bed bc I will want to snuggle and make them feel at ease while you are gone. I will send pictures of your pet playing, relaxing and keep you up to date on if he/she used the bathroom and make you feel comfortable while away from your pet because I know it’s not always easy. I will be your best friends, friend.

“Sarah os terrific. Jasper and Lucy like her very much.”

I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, can help with basic puppy training, and am comfortable giving medications if needed.

I always follow the owner's instructions closely, make sure collars/leashes are secure, and pay attention to any specific needs or behaviors.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over ten years. I grew up with a wheaten terrier who I loved for 14 years, and since then I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and sizes. Whether your pup is playful, sensitive, or needs a calm, steady presence, I’m very comfortable adapting to what they need. Most clients book me for in-home dog care, as it allows dogs to stay in their familiar environment and maintain their routine. I offer structure, gentle companionship, and clear communication every step of the way so you can travel or work confidently, knowing your dog is happy and supported. I also work as a realtor, which means I’m extremely respectful in people’s homes and very used to handling keys, security systems, and property access professionally and discreetly. Pets warm to me quickly, and owners tell me they appreciate the calm confidence I bring to their home. Although I do offer boarding on occasion, my space is best suited for dogs that aren’t excessively vocal, as I live in a condo. All normal barking is perfectly fine — I just may not be the best match for dogs that howl or bark nonstop. My goal is always the same: to make sure your pup feels safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m looking to add to my day with some exercise and fun with your dog(s)! I particularly make sure I am available at regular meal times for pets. I can provide companionship, exercise and care for your pet at your home or at my home. While I am out of the house for about 3-4 hours some days, I work from home a lot.

About: I’ve been around animals since the womb, and I’ve grown up with everything from a massive, playful black lab, to a teeny, feisty chihuahua - and I’ve loved every second of it! I’m a college student currently home for break with all the time in the world to play with your pups! I’m available for walking and many other services nearly 24/7 so just send me a message! I will let your dog outside as often as I can and take them for fun walks to explore the smells throughout the neighborhood. I can crate your pup if needed and can deal with any and all abilities.

About: Hello! I grew up with large dogs and upon moving out from my home have had dogs, fish, and cats ever since. I have cared for large dogs, small dogs, and cats for over 20 years. I currently have three incredibly friendly and easy going dogs, including a remarkable Labrador retriever pup. I am currently retiring from a career in federal law enforcement. I am available most days and nights for your pets care. I understand the importance of pet diets, exercise, and socialization and make it a priority. My home is my pets home. We have a large 1.5 acre invisible fenced in yard surrounded by woods and a long front yard away from the road. The other dogs tend to stick together and my lab puppy learned the yard by just following around our German shorthaired pointer and older mastiff. Any other questions just ask!

About: I've been around all different types of dog breeds since a very young age. My family dog has always been a Great Dane (we are on our fifth). I currently walk my great danes which has provided me experience with big dogs. In addition, I've volunteered at my local animal shelter for the past 4 years and assist in fostering and walking dogs. I also have some experience with cats, and absolutely love them. I currently am a student in my last semester of school. Since, it is my last semester my schedule is a lot lighter and more flexible! I absolutely love animals and can assure you I will provide your fur baby a calming and positive environment. I currently live with four dogs and have plenty experience with respecting animals boundaries, walking them, and providing many pets and cuddles!

About: Hi, my name is Halle, I am an 24 year-old English teacher and an experienced pet-owner who loves dogs. I have owned dogs my entire life and I have plenty of experience taking care of my own dogs as well as many others. I am very used to doing drop-ins, dog-walking, and providing dog care in my own home with about five years professional experience now. I love dogs and have spent my entire life around them so I know how to handle them in different situations.

I would love to provide the same level of activity for your pup and if boarding, there’s plenty of room in my home to separate my dog if yours prefers to be the only pet.

About: Animals are a man’s best friend and I strongly believe in this proverb. I have volunteered multiple years for different shelters and agencies primarily with Dog Days; loving, caring and giving much vital attention to dogs in need. Fostering dogs has been one of the most rewarding experiences that may not pay in cash but the endless amount of love and the fulfilling feeling that leaves a mark on your heart making a dog feel loved and safe is priceless. I strongly encourage anyone who is interested in adopting a dog or becoming a dog owner to foster. I have helped nurtured dogs with behavior issues, training, and socializing, and I have also pet sat for creatures of all sizes from fish to horse. I have given medication to multiple animals and I am large animal rescued certified. I care for many of our special needs pets with ease because my kindness, patience and attention creates a bond that has pets loving me immediately. I am caring and compassionate to all of the pets in my care.
