About: Veterinary, animal shelter and dog training experience over 25 years help me care for animals at the end of their lives, the beginning and everything in between. I currently have very few obligations outside the home, so I can devote special attention to my own pets and any I might temporarily care for. I believe in crating animals when safety dictates, and monitored interactions if circumstances allow. I leash-walk my dog in the adjacent park and have a lovely yard to sniff. Kitties usually advise me what the rules are.
“Aaron was very communicative and accommodating and my dogs were very well looked after and taken care of. He sent photos to share how comfortable they were and he will definitely be my first choice for any future dog sitting needs. I highly recommend him.”
“Savanna & Bryan did an excellent job watching my pup, Kiba. The house pets were friendly and got along with Kiba well. The fenced yard worked good as Kiba slept in the truck on the way home, rather then be excitedly moving around. Communication and pictures were perfect. They worked with me on my erratic schedule. I highly recommend the services of Savanna & Bryan! I will definitely be a return customer!”
“5/5 🤩 Nansy is awesome! Very nice person and accommodating, helping us out in a pinch when our usual sitters fell thru. Our senior pupper needs special care, so it was a true relief when we met with Nansy and she asked a lot of questions, going the extra mile to make sure our pup had a comfortable stay. Would definitely book her again if needed. Thank you Nansy!!”
“A PERFECT FIT! We were so pleased with the communication & accommodations for our dog! It was fun getting daily updates that included pictures. It was clear our dog was happy & well cared for! We highly recommend!!! Nicole & her family do and AMAZING job!!!”
About: I have never been without an animal in my life. I know the anxiety of leaving my babies and now as a retired teacher I can provide that same comfort to your baby if you need to leave them. I am a retired teacher and live on an acreage. I am home most of the time and spend a lot of time outside. I do have cats that are good with dogs. I have a young energetic mutt mix that looks like a mix of Yorkshire and Rat Terrier. I have 4 acres of invisible fence. I can train almost any dog to learn the boundaries. Or I can keep your dog on a leash when we go outside. We have no kids and have quite a relaxed home.
“Stephanie is absolutely wonderful with my dogs! Initially it was drop ins/walks with my black lab approximately 2 years ago, this past year I got a 12 week puppy so they started going to Stephanie’s house for daycare to meet the puppies consistent needs! If we load into the car at 5:45 am they know they are going to Stephanie’s house and get very excited! Sometimes they go for just the day, other times they go for a couple nights! They always come home exhausted from all the playing they’ve been doing! Her communication is excellent, I receive photos and feedback frequently throughout the day when they are there! I highly recommend Stephanie!”
“Madison and her family were great with Thor. Will gladly book again in the future. She was worried about his non eating- as he does when I'm not around. I received great photo updates on him. She seemed to understand Thor and his personality. Thank you again:-)”
About: I've had dogs for most of my life. I've adopted from rescues and love making my pets feel safe and loved. My current dog is a senior male who's very sweet. He gets lonesome so it would be nice to have dog friends visit. I'm patient and kind. We love to go on walks and relax iny gated yard. I work full-time but I'm very close to work and come home every day during lunch to let my dog have some yard time. We go for a walk at night to get outdoors. I have a senior dog and a nice fenced backyard for them to roam around. My dog is allowed on furniture and sleeps with me.
About: I have babysat or taken care of dogs/animals ever since I was a child. To this day I will take in pets that are hurt or homeless until they are rehabilitated or find a good home. I have experience with all ages and stages of canine. Experience training dogs, nurturing them back to health, birthing, caring for seniors and special needs, bottle feeding babies, and much more. Let me know what your special needs are! I homestead and care for livestock on our farm. I have a pretty open availability. My largest chores here are completed early morning and late evening, giving me opportune time to be available during the days for checking in on, playing with and feeding, walking or housing your pup. I do not crate animals unless specified by owner. They will hang out with my family and I like they are our own if they are staying with us. I will follow and respect your rules for your pet in your homes and mine. We can work together with any special needs. I have an incredibly flexible schedule which allows me plenty of time for drop-in visits, doggie day sitting or to go on walks with your incredible pup. I will follow and abide by the rules you have in your home for pup. During our meet and greet we will go over all expectations, needs and rules for your doggie.

Nansy was absolutely great with Hank. Our golden retriever was a less than desirable guest to say the least and Nansy handled the situation so well and even went above and beyond while we had our 2nd baby. Highly recommend Nansy to watch your pet, you won’t be disappointed!
