About: Hi there! I’m a certified dog trainer with a lifelong love for dogs and years of experience working with pups of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. As my husband and I get ready to welcome our first child, I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue doing something I love—caring for animals and giving them the attention they deserve. Whether your pup needs to run off some energy or just wants a cuddle buddy, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they feel right at home. There’s truly no better way to spend my time than with your fur baby! I’m currently a stay-at-home dog mom, so I have the flexibility and time to give your pup the attention and care they need throughout the day. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or drop-in visit, I’m happy to help keep them happy and loved in the comfort of their own home. When caring for pets in their own home, I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, secure, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow your specific instructions regarding routines, feeding, medications, and any quirks your pup may have. I take trust seriously—respecting your space, keeping you updated, and treating your pets like family every step of the way.

About: My name is Makinzie, I am 32 years old with 4 kids and a German Shepherd of my own. If you choose us to keep your pet, they will be well loved, cared for, played with, indoors and outdoors playing with my dog and my kids. In case of excessive heat, freezing temps, fireworks or severe weather I can and will bring them inside. We love dogs and we will treat yours as our own! We have a decent size yard with a fence. I have had dogs my entire life. Mainly Rottweilers, German shepherds and pit bulls, but I’ve had chihuahuas and other smaller dogs as well. I will be delighted and honored to care for your pet if you choose us. If you have any questions just let me know. God bless you! Monday through Friday I work from home and the weekends we come and go. We live a pretty busy life but someone is always home! We have a fenced yard. 4 kids. 1 female german shepherd. Any dogs I care for are pretty spoiled to say the least and will follow any rules set forth.

About: What sets me apart is the care and attention I give every pet, especially those with special needs. While I’m new to sitting for other dogs professionally, I have a senior dog of my own who is both diabetic and blind. I give her insulin twice a day and help her safely navigate daily life, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love it takes to care for older pets or those with medical needs. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I'm a newly registered EMT currently looking for full-time work, and in the meantime, I’m looking to stay active and productive doing something I enjoy—spending time with animals! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule right now, and I’d love the opportunity to give your pets the attention and care they deserve while I have the time to fully commit to them. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications—so they feel at ease while you’re away. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, or require special care. Cleanliness, communication, and compassion are always part of how I care for animals.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, worked at a vet clinic, learned CPR for dogs, and dabbled in training as well. I’m efficient at giving medications (even injectables), can do basic training, am cautious with any other dog interactions while walking, and am detail oriented to provide the best care. I enjoy interacting with your pet and becoming a familiar face they look forward to seeing while you’re gone! Let me love your fur babies like I do my own! I currently stay at home mostly with my infant daughter and my own dogs, worked part time, and have a little extra time to dedicate to others who need help taking care of their pets! I want your pet to feel comfortable with me and enjoy the time I get to spend with them. I don’t mind sitting there for a while to work on earning their trust. All dogs are different and require different approaches to meet their needs. I very much enjoy getting to love on them if they let me and creating a fun environment for them while you are away. I also enjoy training basics if that is something that interests you! My favorite thing to do is bring special treats to each visit (with permission of course)!

About: I’ve taken care of all different types of animals, from large to big, from bathing them to giving them medicine. Friends and families always come to me when they need their pets watched after! I am currently going into my freshman year of college online to become a vet tech! and with having so much free time I’m able to give your pups all the attention and loving all day everyday! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space, I also have a 6 month old pup of my own who’s ready to welcome your fur baby and also have company!

With me at the helm, your furry friend gets first-class care, every time. So drop anchor and relax—your pet’s in shipshape hands! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s not just a job, it’s a lifestyle. As a retired Coast Guard veteran, I thrive on structure, reliability, and purpose, and caring for animals gives me all of that and more. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or overnight boarding, I plan my days around the needs of the pets in my care. I’ve been around animals for over 30 years, so feeding, walking, playtime, and even administering medications are second nature. Every day is a mission to keep tails wagging and whiskers twitching, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. In My Home: Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I have a secure, fully fenced yard perfect for supervised play and exercise, as well as clean, comfortable kennels for pets who need their own space to relax. I follow your pet’s routine—meals, meds, walks, and cuddle time—to help them feel right at home. My home is calm, structured, and always pet-friendly. In Your Home: When visiting your home, I treat it with the utmost respect and care. I stick to your instructions and your pet’s normal routine—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or litter box cleaning—to minimize stress and keep things familiar. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. No matter where I care for your pets, they’ll get dependable, loving attention—just like they’re part of the crew!

Our dogs and cat are free to go indoors or outdoors at their leisure. I also have a room available to separate pets if needed. I have the room to bring in crates if your baby uses one.

About: With around 10 years of experience taking care of many dogs of all types of breeds and sizes I have loved this line of work more than anything and the overall satisfaction of seeing the dogs and having them light up when they see me lights me up. There’s nothing more that I love than giving these amazing animals a great life or great experience! Many friends and family know me as being a caregiver to animals of all types and sizes but with dogs being where I shine best. I am currently just working part time buying & selling so I have all the flexibility In The world to make and work with pretty much anyones schedule and help them care for their animals whenever they are unable or busy.
