About: I've always loved animals, & have cared for dogs, cats, and many other animals since I was a kid. I have experience with kittens, puppies, nursing mothers, bottle-feeding puppies and kittens, potty-training and basic obedience training, and caring for seniors animals. In the last several years, my kids have joined me in caring for a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to reptiles and even a hedgehog. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to make sure your pet gets the exercise and other care they need! I have a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company, a home and family environment for pet sitting or boarding, and a kennel available for use as necessary.
“Perfect dog sitter, I boarded with her last minute and my dog had a great time playing in her back yard with the other pups, flight got delayed and it wasn’t an issue, would highly recommend to anyone. Came back home and picked up a very happy and tired pup”
“We were worried about leaving our dog because she hasn’t been left many times and can be anxious around other dogs. We needn’t have worried, our dog did great with Charlene. She communicated so well with us, sent us lots of pictures and let us know how she was doing. When we picked her up she was relaxed and happy. She had obviously been well cared for. She had had as good a vacation as us 😆 we will definitely be using Charlene again.”
“Jaedyn was quick to respond and excellent to communicate with! My dog was so excited when we dropped her off at Jaedyn’s place and she seemed well cared for when we picked her up. I’m sure Jaedyn’s son did all of the dog-sitting ?. (I think he really tired her out! Ruthie’s been napping consistently for the last 24 hours ?) I would be happy to use Jaedyn again in the future!”
About: I've been caring for doggies for 20+ years, so your pet is in experienced hands. Whether your pup needs daily walks and playtime or medication given right on schedule, their well-being comes first here. Our home is warm and pet friendly, and every guest is treated like one of the family. Your pet will receive lots of cuddles and love with extra attention and an enriched stay. I work from home, so I'm here all day. That means plenty of potty breaks, playtime, and snuggles on your pet's schedule, not squeezed between errands. Boarding guests get round the clock company. Your pet's safety comes first, always. We have a fully fenced yard and all playtime is supervised, so pups can run and play securely. I follow your feeding instructions exactly, and mealtimes are supervised too. If your pet prefers eating solo or needs space from the group, we are happy to separate for calm, stress free mealtimes.
About: I became a licensed Veterinary Technician in 2014 and have 10 years experience working in general practice. I have been dog sitting since high school. I currently work Monday-Thursday 8am to 5pm and come home for lunch noon-1pm to care for my own small senior dog as well as 2 senior cats. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly 12 year old dog named Penny. Penny and guest dog will be separated if I am not home but I will have a camera I can view the guest dog as needed if I'm at work. The resident cats will not have access to the guest dog while I am away. My pets eat 4 meals a day and Penny is let outside 4-7 times a day.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Northwood home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Northwood.
