About: Calm, experienced, loving, empathic and conscientious - I am your dog’s next best friend 🩷 I’ve trained Australian Shepherd’s since I was 13, reaching amateur level junior competitions throughout high school. Today I have two rescue dogs of my own - a border collie mix and a beagle /chihuahua/pit mix (lots of energy). Because of my two dogs, I hike everyday. I love spending time outside in nature with animals, and will be sure to keep your pup happy and healthy! I am an organic vegetable farmer during the growing season (April-November) and work seasonal odd jobs and non profit work when I am in the off season. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and love to walk/hike/swim/adventure at all times of day and during any weather. In my house, pets rule. We have done agility, obedience and scent training with both dogs so I have a lot of tools in my toolbox to keep a dog busy and occupied.


7. John D.
“If your looking for some one who truly loves and cares for your pets to take the best care of them while your away John’s is the sitter for you. He has always given 110 percent to my fur baby’s I have sent to him in the past. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my animals. He has many years experience and always puts their welfare first”


8. Haley C.

“Haley is absolutely wonderful! She is great at communicating things ahead of time and is very flexible if there’s a last minute change in the weekly schedule. My dog absolutely loves when it’s a “Haley walk day”. Absolutely recommend her!”


9. Heather C.

“I am a repeat customer of Heather’s and she’s great! I have an elderly dog that she walks twice weekly for me, and Heather is super attentive, responsive, and reliable. She gives detailed updates, and Holyfield loves her! I have only had great experiences with Heather, 10/10 would recommend”


10. Kira K.
“Kira loves all creatures, and has cared for all types of animals her entire life. Animals gravitate towards her. She has been called “the dog whisperer” many times, as she can calm them down and get them to do things that no one else seems to be able to do. She is even able to trim the nails of the most anxious dogs and cats around. Animals have been her life-long passion. So much so that she went to school to become a board certified veterinary technician. She will be able to love and care for all of your pet needs. Taking care of cats, dogs, horses, chickens, sheep, goats, birds, reptiles, and rodents. She will be happy to responsibly house sit (either staying at your home or visiting throughout the day) dog walk, play, cuddle, or assist with any medical needs. You will feel confident that your pets will have the best care around, and they will be treated like family ❤️”


11. Kelsey D.
“Kelsey watched our golden retriever, Tucker for many years. She is enthusiastic and dependable and is passionate about working with animals (especially dogs). She is high energy and has a wonderful sense of humor. Our Tucker would get so excited upon her arrival. in addition to daily visits, Kelsey would stay at our home for extended periods when we were away. I recommend Kelsey enthusiastically and without reservation!”


12. Rebecca K.

“Rebecca's walked Peanut several times for us, and she always comes home happy and tired. Rebecca is quick to respond, easy to work with, and sends great pics of their time together. It's been so helpful to have someone local and responsible care for our pooch. I highly recommend her services!”


13. Kiersten S.

“Kiersten does an amazing job with Tex. I would happily recommend her to anyone in need of pet care.”


14. Elysse W.

15. Carter M.
About: I’ve always had well behaved dogs and cats. Currently we have two dogs, a 2 1/2 year old rescued lab mix and a senior pug mix. We also have some other animals, 4 indoor cats, 6 outdoor cats, chickens that free range, ducks and rabbits. When I was in high school and junior high I walked dogs after school and in the summers I house and dog sat this included dogs with strict diets, training routines and all activity levels. I make my own work schedule so I can work around you! I currently spend most of my time working on or from my property. We have a yard for long leashed fetch with local hiking trails very close to home for daily walks. For indoor space we have a spare bedroom and all different size crates. Well behaved pups will also be aloud in the main living area. All animals are different I want to be respectful of your pets needs and provide them comfort and fun distractions while they eagerly await your return.


16. Bryana S.
“Bryana has spent a lot of time with my dog, Winnie. Winnie is a 60-pound shepherd mix, and is a very anxious girl which results in a lot of leash reactivity. Bryana has always been very loving and compassionate towards Winnie despite her behavioral issues, and is very patient and calm with her. Winnie loves Bryana deeply and I would recommend Bryana to anyone looking for a loving caregiver for their pet.”


17. Amber D.
“Amber is a wonderful pet person. She has been with me and my dog for 15 years. She always gives my dog the best love and affection! Amber is respectful, caring and reliable beyond belief. She is one of the best people that I have met and my dog couldn't agree more! Amber would be the perfect fix for you doggy needs. She always goes above and beyond to make sure everybody is happy, safe and well taken care of!”


18. Heather B.
About: Full time dog lover. I have taken many classes with my dog, Apollo (9 y/o spaniel mix), and am experienced with many dog breeds and temperaments. I am excited to give your dog lots of love and exercise, and work on obedience and training! I am highly attuned to dog behavior. I have taken online classes through coursera on dog and animal behavior. More importantly, I adopted 2 high strung dogs in the past (though they are both gone now of old age), and have worked closely with trainers to improve issues with dog aggression and socialization. As long as your dog gets along with my dog enough to be safe together, and as long as there are no concerns about safety for my 3-year old child, I would love to take care of your special pup 🐶! I have plenty of time to play, train, and hike/walk with your pup. I am currently unemployed and looking for part-time jobs. For now, I am available most days and times, and I will keep my schedule updated in a timely fashion. I have 4 acres of backyard next to Mount Grace State Park. 90% of our large yard is fenced, but there are 2 places where a determined dog can find their way out. Until these sections are repaired I will go outside with your dog for potty/play breaks, and I will either be actively engaging them or have them on leash. If they have anything but the best recall, I will likely keep them on leash. I have one dog, who gets along with most dogs and is excited to meet your pup. He is older and doesn’t have much patience for puppies. I have a 3 year old child who is great with dogs of all kinds :)


19. Elizabeth E.

“Elizabeth is great! She took great care of our dogs, was easy to communicate with, and very accommodating. Excellent!”


20. Emma C.
“Last year both of my dogs, Daisy and Drama, came down with a terrible case of fleas. I treated them, bombed the house, treated the yard, everything I could think of but nothing worked. When I told Emma she inquired about what remedies I had tried, sympathized and offered further suggestions that worked in her experiences. The next day Emma knocked on my door. She had purchased a very pricey flea medication for both Daisy and Drama. She helped me apply it to both of my pups and made sure I understood all the instructions. She would not accept the payment for the treatment simply telling me “as long as their happy (Daisy and Drama) I’m happy.” Within a couple days both my pups and my house were free of fleas! I’ve never met anyone that cares for animals and their people as much as Emma does. I cannot thank her enough for all she has done for my girls and I.”
