About: I had the pleasure of owning a Golden Retriever for 13.5 years. During that time I trained her, socialized her with other dogs, and gave her a loving home. I learned the different needs and characteristics of the breed and how to handle larger dogs. I'm also knowledgeable on common AKC guidelines. I work remotely Monday through Friday, which gives me flexibility during the week to care for your pets. On weekends, I sometimes have events for my small business and love spending time with family. Please feel free to message me your preferred times — I’m happy to work something out that fits both of our schedules! I strive to create a comfortable environment to accommodate your pets needs as much as possible. I'm adaptive, flexible, and willing to work in a variety of different situations.
About: I have always owned a dog, my mom used to breed dogs so I always was around them. I have been taking care of animals since I was little but I would say for the last 10-15 years I actually did dog watching and would watch my grandmothers friends dogs at her house and would also drop in as needed. I have 3 dog babies and they are exactly that, big babies. I rescued all 3 from a rescue as puppy’s and my pitty was a runt and now is a big boy! I also have fostered dogs and helped my sister with her fosters. I can help with basic tricks but I’m not a professional and don’t claim to be! I have lived and taken care of some senior dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs from puppies to senior. I am also comfortable giving meds if needed, I haven’t had to give a dog an injection but I am willing to learn if you are willing to teach! I currently work fulltime as a unit secretary at the hospital, I can leave during my break for an hour. I work 7am-330pm and I am free most evenings after work. I also work every 3rd weekend so I am available on my off weekends. But the weekend I work I am not available because I work 7a-7p. If your pup needs some extra time to get used to people I am more then happy to come over before you book and meet them to make sure I can help make you and them as comfortable as possible. I am comfortable walking 2 big dogs at a time and 3-4 smalls dogs at a time. I don’t mind updating you as much as you need as they are your babies just as mine are to me. I put Shrek and Harry Potter on for my boys so they don’t get lonely during the day. I also make sure anything they can get into that might hurt them is away, and I make sure they have their collars on as well as double checking doors are locked. I am very accommodating so it never hurts to ask questions to see if it’s something I can help you feel more comfortable!

About: What sets me apart is my reliable, loving care that puts pets first.

Kasper exceeded our wildest expectations! They kept us informed and included in all our pets happiness and activity (We loved their videos and snapshots!). If anything came up Kasper contacted us, and even made helpful suggestions! Fish, pup and plants all very happy and healthy. We think our dog has indicated she'd prefer Kasper to us! She (the pup) seems to keep looking for Kasper, though she does settle for us at mealtime. GREAT job!!!! Highly recommended!!
Joe was AMAZING!! He was so thoughtful and attentive to our sweet senior girl and gave us total peace of mind while we were away! He even fed our fish and offered to water the house plants - what a total gem! He stayed at our home and was super clean and conscientious. He clearly cared very much about our fur girly and we are so so grateful to have found him. I cannot more highly recommend Joe! If you are looking for someone and landed here, search no further! Thank you again so much Joe for all your help, we would absolutely request his help in the future (:
Laura was great! She was very communicative and responsive and she took great care of our Finn. We had peace of mind that our new rescue wasn’t alone overnight. I also felt comfortable that she has a large dog of her own and knew that she would be able to handle our large guy. Would definitely book Laura again :)
