“Mark was fantastic with our dog Gus. He is an excellent communicator and sends updates and pics that were much appreciated. We picked up a very happy boy. Highly recommend.”
About: I have cared for many pets over the years. We decided its tine to open our home to all the pet lovers who need vacation help. I am currently available all day to care for your pets. I do not work outside the home. I have the tine for extra love. I have 5 cats and 2 dogs of my own. I have a large over 1/2 acre lot for outdoor activities. I do not have a fenc so pets will be leashed or allowed to roam based on owner insight.
“Diane was absolutely amazing! She obviously loves animals and understands both pets and pet parents! I feel confident that she took great care of my baby. I would 100% book with her again!”
About: I can do just about anything. I have experience with all ages of animals. I trained my own dog with basic commands. I am a very patient person and I will treat your furry baby the way I treat my own. I have a very energetic 2 year old, 40 pound, Belgian malinois/german Shepard that I rescued from our local shelter as a puppy. I walk/run him daily if not twice a day. Caring for dogs and cats is no inconvenience in my daily life. Our backyard is not fenced in, however I have a 50 ft leash available for use to allow dogs to have the freedom to roam and sniff. I can also take them out on a leash myself. For boarding we have an area for dogs to be alone to have downtime. Along with a large crate with a dog bed inside.
About: I treat every dog like they’re my own—spoiled, snuggled, and talked to like they understand English perfectly (which, let’s be honest, they probably do). Dogs have always been a big part of my life—I’ve grown up around them, lived with them, and loved every slobbery kiss and wagging tail, no matter the breed! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule—I work 7am to 3pm on week days, so I’m free for evening walks and full-time weekend pet sitting. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space to run and play. We currently have three dogs that will be able to keep your pup company and to play with.
“My girls absolutely love Lisa and her family. They come home happy and sleepy. I really appreciate the pictures, updates and that they will help with medications. This particular weekend Lisa and her hubby new how tired we would be when we got in and took care of Willows ear medicine for me. They are truly SO kind. She will be my forever fur baby sitter for as long as I am in the area. Thank you Lisa! ♥️”

About: I treat every pet like family. I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you're away. I'm not just here to check a box—I genuinely enjoy bonding with animals and making sure their tails keep wagging!
