About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats for friends and neighbors for around three years now. My family has two cats and two dogs that I've helped care for and train since they were young. I also have experience with older animals and their needs since one of my dogs and one of my cats are twelve. I currently don't have any other summer employment, so my schedule is open. I am available mornings, afternoons and late evenings every day of the week and weekends, just not for overnight care. I can stop by throughout the day to feed, play with, and let out animals. I can also do short or long walks with dogs or even cats!
“Caitlin was amazing with our cats! We came home to two very well cared for kitties. Caitlin went above and beyond and stayed with them when the power went out during a check in. We got lots of pictures and updates and were never out of the loop regarding our cats care. I can't recommend Caitlin enough and we'll definitely book again ^_^”

But my schedule availability as of right now is open from Monday-Sunday! So please feel free to reach out and ask! Sometimes I will house my in-laws three dogs when they are on vacation, we have a fence in the backyard and a clean pet friendly house!

About: I started my journey with dogs 4 years ago and have not looked back enjoying every moment since. I am a certified trainer who loves improving the relationship between human and dog. We have a dog yard plus 5 acres. All dogs stay in our extra bedroom, which is now considered the dog room. I personally have two dogs, a cattle dog and a husky mix. They are both very social with all other dogs. We like to have a good time here but I keep a very safe environment for the dogs, no fighting or picking on one another. NO DOG IS TURNED AWAY. If you think your dog is aggressive, I can and will evaluate them so that if possible, we will get them socializing with their own kind and having a great time. Thanks, have a good day! I train dogs for a living so I stay at my house 7 days a week besides when I work with clients and those lessons tend to run about an hour but no more than 2 hours! I have 9 years experience running my own kennel and have two dogs with a large fence so there will be no boredom here! I do prefer to kennel dogs for the night but as we get comfortable with each other they will start to earn more freedom! Pet care is my full time job and i wouldn’t have it any other way, it has been a blessing. I hope I can help make your schedule less stressful! While you’re away, let your dogs play! I have a five foot fenced in dog yard specifically for dogs. We also have another 5 acres that we will walk all client dogs on during their stay with us.-
About: I have had my own dogs since I was a little girl. We have bred pups. We have shown pups. We are ABKC and UKC registered for our dogs and just love loving our furry family members. I would love nothing more than to make time to help others travel while they have confidence that the animals are safe and loved on! I have a fenced in back yard and can kennel. I am open to options if assisting in anyway for families to be confident that the fur babies are cared for.

Shane & Meg M.
“I’ve known Shane for many years now, and animals have always been a big part of his life. He grew up with a small dog named Bubbles, adopted two kittens when he moved out on his own, and has shared stories with me about dog-sitting for neighbors and friends over the years. When we started dating, my family already had a full house of pets- four dogs, two cats, and frequent visiting pups my sister boarded monthly. Shane got along with all of them right away. They’d greet each other at the door, and our tiniest dog, Ginger, always chose his lap over anyone else’s in the room. Now that we’re married, Shane (and I guess technically me too, haha) has pet-sat for my family many times- sometimes staying overnight at their house, sometimes boarding their pets at ours, and often stopping by for day visits during short trips. He’s responsible with feeding, watering, administering medication when needed, and giving each pet the right amount of attention and exercise. He’ll play with the little dogs in the yard and take the big ones on longer walks. My family’s cats are pretty shy, but when they come out for a visit, Shane is gentle and patient- always ready with a scratch behind the ears and a quiet moment of affection. He’s also cared for our neighbor’s two small kittens, who were only a few weeks old at the time. They needed lots of attention and stimulation, and Shane enjoyed every minute- and judging by the way the kittens would climb up to his shoulder and perch like tiny panthers, I think the feeling was mutual!”
