About: Hi, I'm Amy, and I have a deep passion for animals! I have had dogs, cats, small animals and reptiles throughout my life. I have 2 respectful teenage kids whom share a passion for all animals, and love helping! I have been fostering with a couple different rescues since 2017, and I love working with all types of dogs! Many people have relied on me to provide a loving home away from home for their fur-babies! I know the importance of finding a loving home you can trust for your fur-babies during a vacation, and here, they will be safe, secure, well loved, and part of the family! The only time I won't take a pup is if they are highly reactive or aggressive towards other dogs or people. I have hosted puppies to great danes! I provide care beyond dogs and cats. Please send a message to discuss pricing for small animals and reptiles. I also offer pet waste clean up on a weekly basis, one-time, and spring clean up! Please send a message for pricing. I work from home full-time, I am available most weekends, and pups get let out every 2-3 hours. Puppies are let out more frequently due to potty training. We do have a fenced yard for playtime! Pups will have free roam of my home and can crate if that is your preference. I like to keep things consistent as much as possible for you! I will provide daily updates and pictures so you never have to worry! Feel free to bring any personal affects which may make your baby feel more at home (t-shirt, blanket, bed, favorite toys)

About: Dogs are just as much a part of our family as people! We love and treat them like they are one of us. I have cared for my own dogs as well as for friends and family for all my life. My husband and I have raised two litters of puppies since birth in our own home and loved and cherished 4 generations of golden retrievers for the last 15 years. After a recent loss to cancer that came much too soon for of one of our beloved dogs I’m happy to open my home to those in need of a place for their furry family members. We are a homeschool family of four dog-loving boys age 6 to 12. We are home during the day to give your dog the love and attention they deserve. Our kids have been taught since birth to love and respect dogs as if they were one of us. We have one male golden retriever/red setter mix who recently lost his mom/playmate to cancer and is longing to run and play with new furry friends. I strive to care for your dog as you do in your own home. I always hated leaving my pets for vacation fearing they wouldn’t have the same level of love and attention they were used to. Please reach out for any and all requests to make your pets stay as comfortable as possible! We do have a PetSafe wireless fence system and have an extra collar available only if requested.

About: I absolutely love dogs and treat every pet like family. I’ve been around dogs my entire life — growing up with them and always having them as part of my family. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and attention. I have personally raised two puppies (including one currently) and helped care for several others, so I understand the consistency, training, and care young dogs need. I also had my own dog live to 15 years old, which gave me experience caring for a dog through every stage of life, including senior care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or just companionship, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and consistent care. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me to provide care throughout the day and stop by in the morning, during lunch, and at night as needed. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, I am available for morning and evening visits/check-ins. When I’m in town on weekends, my schedule is very flexible, so I’m often available for additional visits, walks, or extended care. Because of my schedule, I’m able to provide reliable care, maintain routines, and make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and of course lots of affection and playtime. I understand that every dog has different needs and personalities, so I adjust my care based on their energy level, age, and routine. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable providing patient and attentive care for all stages of life. In a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow any instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, walks, and any special care requests. I also like to provide updates and photos so owners can feel comfortable knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I currently work at a dog boarding facility for over three years providing high quality care for all different kinds of pups and their needs! My schedule does vary but I am always open to being flexible and make something work for your requested booking! I typically work almost everyday but sometimes have a random day off therefore I am open to any pet sitting but may have to be gone for a portion to go to work (typically a 7 hour shift). I also had an old pup myself who was spoiled with belly rubs and treats but unfortunately passed due to old age! I can accommodate to any needs you and your dog need like a specialized feeding schedule, allergies, exercise, medications, and more! Pet care has fit into my schedule daily from working at a pet boarding facility to taking care of my own pup! I am constantly giving service to any pups that need it to keep them and myself busy! Your pets will be cared for with high quality service and love! I treat every dog like it is my own and spoil them with that they love doing! If your dog is a cuddler then I can provide cuddles and if your dog likes walking I can walk all day long!

About: I have a real love and passion for all animals. I have special skills in diabetes care for my sisters elderly cat and I have trained my own pups (Shar pei, lab pit bull mix and chocolate lab). I am currently a stay at home dad looking to make some extra money. I have pretty open schedule Monday- Sunday starting at 8am I am available. I currently have a miniature schnauzer and I let her outside hooked up to a chain and I go on multiple long walks around our neighborhood. I could easily crate your dog if that is what you prefer. I do keep little Buttons crate over night but that is by Buttons preference (she just loves her crate) and she roams free during the day.

About: I have grown up around dogs. I look after my neighbors dogs when they have a sporting event or vacation. I let their dog outside to go to the bathroom and when they are done I play with them for a little bit. I currently have three dogs, a black lab mix, a yellow lab mix and a papillon-jack russel. The papillon is my own and care for him everyday. I walk him, play with him and feed him. My schedule is open, so I am available when you need me to watch your pet. I am available any time of the day . My clients home normally have a fenced in yard and I do play with them so that they will get plenty of exercise. I can crate your pet if needed.

Regan is an awesome walker. Our dog Chelsea looked forward to her walks with her. Regan is kind and caring and it showed because Chelsea couldn't wait to walk with her. Chelsea even walked in the rain just to ve with Regan, and she doesn't like getting wet. Regan is a great communicator and always send nice pics and let us know how their walks went. I would recommend Regan 100% to take care of your pup!

About: I am a dedicated and caring pet sitter who truly loves animals. I always make sure pets have plenty of fresh water and get the exercise they need to stay happy and healthy, while paying close attention to their individual routines and needs. I am currently in school to become a veterinary technician and have hands-on experience working in the veterinary field, which allows me to provide knowledgeable and attentive care. Their dog would fit well into my daily routine. Since I work part time, I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to provide consistent care, including regular walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day. I make it a priority to plan my day around the dog’s needs to ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. In addition, I have fostered many animals, giving me experience with pets of different personalities and medical needs, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.

About: I absolutely love dogs, grew up with a Shih Tzu Poodle and now my mom has a pure bred Shih Tzu that I steal from time to time (see picture). My boyfriend’s family has an English setter and a blue healer, so I love hunting/high energy dogs as well! I do work in office Mondays, Wednesdays and some Fridays which is about an hour commute. I am usually gone from 7:30-5 ish, so dogs who can be alone for that long work out well. I work fully from home Tuesdays and Thursdays so I can let them out whenever on those days. I live in a 2,200 sq ft town home, and a half fenced in yard. Just me and my boyfriend live here so no kids or other animals will be around. We do allow dogs on the furniture and they can sleep with us if they’d like, we like to snuggle

I am currently working full-time but do work from home on Fridays. My partner works 0.3 miles from our home and comes home for lunch everyday. I am home from work around 5pm everyday. I have two fur babies that can keep your fur baby(ies) company while you are away. They are very friendly towards other dogs! We have a big back yard to play. We offer snuggles on the couch and in bed. Walks are necessary and the deck in the back is great for some sun!

About: Hello! I'm Kaity and I have over 15 years of professional dog training experience. I used to work inside the Federal Prisons in Minnesota teaching inmates how to raise and train service dogs for a local non-profit. I have also run a local pet food store where I educated pet parents daily about nutrition, care and everything in-between. Dogs are my true passion in life. I majored in Animal Science in college and went through a dog training school in North Carolina so I know all about how to handle your pets and make sure they are comfortable in my care. I own 2 border collies and a golden retriever who keep me on my toes and love all of their furry friends! Dog training is something I no longer do full time as a career so I love being able to offer it to those that need it. I love working with puppies and teaching good habits and behaviors. I have taught dog training classes for over 10 years and enjoy one on one sessions so much more than a big class format so we can focus on exactly what your pup needs. I offer in person training sessions, virtual sessions, outings, as well as drop in training sessions where I work with your dog even if you aren't at home. Please reach out and we can look at a custom package that suits your needs. Thanks so much for checking out my profile, please take a look and send a message if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your animals! Thanks! Kaity I am able to be flexible with my schedule most days. Tuesday and Thursdays are currently my busy days so normally I do not do sessions on those days. I take all the extra precautions like double-checking fences, keeping food put away, not leaving socks on the floor, and so much more. The trainer in me makes for a very careful dog sitter!
