About: Hi I’m Abbey, I am a dance teacher who also has a passion for caring for pets! I absolutely love animals of any kind. I grew up caring for dogs and currently have two cats and a one year old Australian Shepherd! Having an Aussie, I have a lot of experience and knowledge on taking care of high energy breeds. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and to figure out what makes them happiest. I can’t wait to get to know more about you and your furry friends! If you have any questions, please ask away. I currently work part time and am in school. I tend to have a lot of availability. Although it varies by week. I have more availability during seasonal breaks from school! I have a fenced yard and do my best to ensure a safe and fun environment in my home for dogs. When in others’ homes I am sure to take precautions to ensure your animals safely and comfort.

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of pets. I have worked with extremely easy ones to ones that are extremely afraid of everyone and everything I currently work 3rd shift. It allows me to be available in the afternoons to to love on and take care of the pets need I treat every animal as if it was my own. They receive the best care and as much attention as possible. Their needs are met

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a small child. I grew up on a farm so we had animals of all kinds. I also have a senior dog at home that needs medication3 times a day, so I am able to help with that as well. I am a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of availability any time of the day to take care of your animals or go for walks I can help with any animal items that are needed. I can crate animals, feed, walk, medicate, change litter box, and clean up any accidents

About: Even at a young age, I have seven years of skillful experience in multi-species care ranging from shelter medicine, to low-cost spay & neuter services, to currently mixed animal practice. The last five years, I have been expanding my skill set as an employed veterinary assistant. With that, I am knowledgeable when it comes to medications, pets with special conditions and needs, and capable of handling emergencies. I’m currently working full-time as a veterinary assistant at my local mixed animal practice. With that being said, I am available only in the evenings on the weekdays that I work. However, I am usually available all day on Tuesday’s, Sunday’s, and most Saturday’s. I have one dog and one cat of my own who are both wonderfully inviting and playful with other pets. I offer both crated and uncrated time for my dog, and also your pet upon request. However, both my pets usually have full access to the house at all times.

About: I personally have a German Shepard and a Chiweenie at home so I have experience with both big and small dogs. I usually take care of my parents dachshunds when needed. I’m currently at home while my kids are in school so I’ll be free during the day to take care of pets. I can do scheduled evening visits occasionally. I can walk, bathe, visit, play, give water and food, or take them outside if needed. I can provide treats on my visit and meet them so they can trust me.

“Arianna is wonderful. So calm and gentle with our two mini schnoodles. One of ours has anxiety and it took a day or two, but he just loves when she comes.”

About: Hi! I’m Dallas! Your pet’s home away from home. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, reptiles, and even farm animals so caring for pets isn’t something I learned, it’s just how I’ve always lived. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from high energy pups to shy or more sensitive animals who need a slower approach. Now that my daughters are about to be in school full-time, I finally have the flexibility and extra time to focus on pet sitting and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. This also helps fund my love for traveling, so I take this seriously and treat it like a real responsibility, not just a side gig. We’re a pet loving household, and your pet will be treated like part of the family while they’re here. We have two dogs who are very friendly and loving, they’ll definitely want to make friends but full honesty, they can be a little yappy at times. We also have a cat who mostly keeps to herself and doesn’t bother anyone. For safety and quality of care, I only take one family at a time, so your pet will always get my full attention without the stress of a crowded environment. We don’t have a fenced yard, but your pet will still get regular walks, attention, and supervised time to stay active and happy. What you can expect from me: • A safe, structured, and loving home environment • Plenty of attention, interaction, and supervision • Regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing • Respect for your pet’s routine, preferences, and comfort level I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone else, so I do everything I can to make that decision easier and to make sure they feel right at home. My schedule is flexible and pet focused. I work part time as a hairstylist three days a week, but I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to make sure they get consistent attention, walks, and interaction. When I’m at the salon, my husband is home and helps maintain your pet’s routine, so they’re never left alone for long periods. Between the two of us, your pet will always have supervision, care, and plenty of attention throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I keep their routine as close to home as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or downtime. Since I only take one family at a time, your pet gets my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment. They’ll have plenty of interaction throughout the day, whether that’s playing, relaxing, or just being near someone whatever they’re used to. We don’t have a fenced yard, so all outdoor time is supervised, and dogs are either leashed or closely monitored to ensure safety. Walks and regular potty breaks are built into the day. I’m very mindful of different personalities and energy levels. My two dogs are friendly and social, but I always make sure introductions are done slowly and safely so everyone is comfortable. Our cat keeps to herself and typically stays out of the way. On days I’m at the salon, my husband is home to help maintain your pet’s routine, so they’re never left alone for long periods. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely to keep everything consistent and stress free feeding, walks, medications, and any specific preferences you have. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I've been around dogs for 30 years. I've helped rehab different animals and believe in a holistic approach. Our fur babies are special and deserve the best. I have experience working with special needs dogs and love senior dogs. I work full at the YMCA with a flexible schedule and would love to take care of your pets! I am available 7 days a week. I can crate your dog if needed. I will give them walks and potty breaks as needed. I know all animals are different and must be treated with care.

About: I am honest, dependable, and reliable. I have always grown up with animals. My parents gifted me my first pet when I was 5 months old. Since then, I have never been without. I have grown up with dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and even spiders. Your fur baby will be in the best of the care! During our visits they will be spoiled just as mine are and will enjoy our time together by playing or cuddling. I am available for drop in visits or dog walks in the afternoon. However, if i feel the temperature is too hot, I will not walk your baby for the safety of them. I will respect your home just as I would want mine to be in my absence. I am an over communicator and will spoil you with pictures of your fur baby while you are away. I am looking forward to meeting you and your fluffy love!

“I was so surprised by Puzzles reaction when Chasta came in. He jumped on her and was ready to go with her. He has always refused to leave the house with out me. He would never go on walks with anyone other than myself or my boyfriend. It took him a 6 months to even trust my boyfriend to walk him he refused to go. I’m an OCD dog Mom and l am very protective of my fur baby. If I didn’t have an inner ear issue this week and felt so guilty of not being able to walk him. I never would have even contacted Rover for a walk. I’m not comfortable with other people walking my dog or anything this is a first for me! I’m very happy I reached out and chose Chasta, I recommend to anyone who is OCD over their pup and needs help with walks when your sick or whenever you can’t walk your Pup to choose Chasta.. Or if you’re tired of walking all of the time. Lol”

About: I've had pets since I was 10. I have taken care of both cats and dogs. Friendly, conscientious, and thorough. Can't wait to walk new dogs/friends. I'm currently off of work for the summer as I teach full time during the school year. I am working on taking time for myself, exercising, and walking dogs. I take care of my pets by either crating them or leaving them in a bedroom when I am out and about. I have a crate for them to use.

“Kristy is kind and so gentle. She knew how to get my timid dog to respond well. She sends updates right away after the visit. I would recommend her to anyone”

About: Hi, I’m Amanda. I’m the owner of Unleashed Peaks, a full-time dog training and behavior coaching business built on calm communication, structure, and trust. Along with training, I also offer structured boarding and daycare in a peaceful, home-style environment where dogs can relax, play, and learn safely. Because I’m a trainer first, everything I do — from playgroups to potty breaks — is intentional. Dogs get enrichment, exercise, and clear routines that build confidence while keeping things fun and low-stress. I follow LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) principles to make sure every dog feels safe, understood, and respected. I love working with all types of dogs, especially those who need a little extra support or structure while you’re away. Whether your pup is here for the day or a full board and train, they’ll be treated like family. Quirks, goofiness, and all. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy, relaxed, and well-adjusted dog who’s had a fulfilling stay and maybe learned a few new skills along the way. I’m home full-time and spend most of my day working with dogs through my business, Unleashed Peaks. Because training and structured care are what I do every day, your dog is never left unattended for long and always part of a calm, consistent routine. Drop-offs and pick-ups are flexible - mornings and early afternoons usually work best, but I’m happy to coordinate around your schedule. Whether your pup is here for daycare or boarding, they’ll get a balance of play, enrichment, rest, and individualized attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care stay in a calm, structured, and enrichment-based environment that helps them feel secure and relaxed. My home is designed with safety in mind, with separate rest areas, and consistent supervision. We have 5 acres of land. Our fence is in progress right now but we have never had an issue! As a full-time trainer, I understand canine body language and group dynamics deeply. I make sure each dog’s play, rest, and social time match their comfort level. New dogs are introduced slowly and respectfully so they can settle in at their own pace. I keep routines predictable and communication clear so dogs always know what to expect. Whether they are here for a day or an extended stay, every dog is treated like family: safe, understood, and cared for.

About: I’ve been taking care of my 15 year old dog since she was 8 weeks old! She now needs a lot more potty breaks than before, requires medication occasionally and waits for me to give her massages after waking up because her arthritis is worse in the morning! As you can see she needs extra catering to since she has gotten older. She is spoiled and cuddly and I love every second of it! I’m a social worker who does “home visits” for children during the day. My job is community based therefore it gives me more flexibility with my daily schedule. I think mental health is important therefore I believe in daily walks for myself! I will walk as long and as far as your dog will allow me to go! I have a wooded walking trail in my neighborhood that allows for exploring opportunities for your furry family members. 😊

About: I have always loved dogs, and since I don’t have one myself I would to help others take care of /love on their dog. I have experience taking care of neighbors dogs and staying overnight at coworkers places to ensure the best care for their dog! I love really any type of dog :) whether they are athletic and want to get up to play all day, or want to cuddle on the couch I’ll there for it! Like I said previously I don’t have a dog so, I need some four legged fun and love in my life. With that being said whenever you want the perfect friend for you pup just reach out! I’m excited to meet/get to know you and doggie(s) soon :)
