“Kaleigh was great with my dogs! She took great care of them while we were out of town. Sent me several pictures too which eased my mind about having a new sitter. Will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thanks Kaleigh for everything you did for the girls!”
“Our fur babies had a wonderful time with Maria and her family. We received countless pictures and messages throughout our 10 day trip that illustrated how happy and loved our dogs were. Maria even gave them baths just before we returned! We highly recommend Maria and will use her again.”
“This was my first time using a boarding service, and I’m happy that I found Ralph to take care of Maggie while I was out of town for a month. He was very responsive, and his quick replies helped me check in on her. I was informed that there were a couple of diarrheal episodes. It would have been more helpful for me to relay these episodes to the vet if they had been described in more detail with text and photos. I also came home early and greatly appreciated his flexibility in allowing me to pick Maggie up a day early. Lastly, I wish Rover supported video so that I could see Maggie during her stay. Overall, I’m grateful for the care Ralph provided.”
About: Hi, I’m Kassidy! I’m a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom of two with a love for animals! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members while you’re away. I’ve had my own small dog for nearly 11 years, so I understand the love, attention and responsibility that come with caring for a pet. I also have experience caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs while they’re out of town, including providing daily care, administering medications and making sure their pets feel comfortable and loved. I’ve always loved having dogs in my life, and getting to know their different personalities is one of my favorite parts of caring for them! My goal is to provide a loving, comfortable environment where your dog feels like part of our family! Your dog will spend their days alongside us, enjoying plenty of companionship, attention, playtime and relaxation. Whether your pup loves going for walks, playing or simply curling up on the couch, I’ll do my best to make them feel right at home. As a homeschooling mom, I spend much of my time at home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. My goal is to keep their routine as familiar as possible so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. My two children will be present during your dog’s stay. They’ve grown up around dogs their entire lives and have been taught how to interact with animals gently and respectfully. They will be supervised at all times and not left alone with your pet. Our home is equipped with a fenced in yard and safety gates that allow me to separate spaces when needed for everyone’s comfort and safety. Otherwise, your dog will be right alongside us, enjoying our everyday family activities! I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine and needs. I’m happy to discuss any medications, special accommodations or preferences beforehand to make sure your pup feels comfortable. I’m also happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand to make sure your dog is a great fit for our family and home! I’ll provide photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is being loved and cared for!
About: I've had dogs in my house since I was born & have taken care of my own dog(s) for 20 years. I've done end of life care with all of my pets & have done basic training of puppies. I have 8 acres of property which is great for dogs to run and play! I'm currently a stay at home mom of 3 kids, but this year my youngest started school so I am now home every day alone & would love to have a doggie to keep me company. I have an 8 acre yard with a lot of room for dogs to run. I also have a pond that they could swim in if allowed. I currently don't have a dog, but have a caged in area in the yard as well that was used for our old Great Dane that I could use for outside time if your dog tends to wander.
About: I have experience with animals in all settings. I have helped distract puppies when they receive their first shots and I have helped dogs who get laser therapy. I have helped care for the pets family and friend throughout my entire life. I have always enjoyed helping people but helping pets is so special. I work part time 0.5 mile away from home. I usually work from 12pm- 8pm. Or later in the evening usually between 5pm - 2 am. When I am not home my boyfriend is home most of the day. I live in a safe and quiet apartment, without a fenced in yard. I have an American bulldog mix. I enjoy going for walks and bringing out the best in my favorite fuzzy critters.
About: I'm 26, work from home, and have a very flexible schedule, so your pet will get lots of attention and care throughout the day. I live alone and genuinely love having animals around. Whether your pet loves long walks at the park, playtime, or just relaxing at home, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to take frequent breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs an active day or just someone to keep them company, I'm able to be there for them. I always treat my clients' homes with the same respect I would want for my own. I have experience cleaning homes and caring for the elderly, so I'm comfortable following routines, respecting personal space, and cleaning up any pet messes along the way. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away.
“Sissy is great! We left our 2 dogs with her for the weekend and she was very communicative and great with them. She sent us lots of pictures and updates! We will definitely use her again!”
“They did an amazing job. Our boy, Haku, always has a great time there and comes home tired from playing with their other two dogs. Haku is an American Akita and they are able to handle a 120+ pound dog, which isn't easy. Couldn't recommend more.”
