“I would highly recommend Habun because was so good with my dog, Bear. He has separation anxiety and she did everything she could to keep him comfortable. I got updates frequently and communication was great which helped keep my anxiety and worry down. I really didn't have any worries at all. We will book again.”


About: Here to help you by providing a home away from home for your canine companions when you can't take them with you. For busy puppy owners, I can help during your busy work day with the important task of raising, training, and socializing your 8-16 week old puppy. I have over 30 years teaching a high school Career Tech Animal Science Program, 11 years working with puppies and adolescent dogs in service dog organizations. I am currently retired and keep a flexible schedule. I can do traditional overnight and daytime care. For very young puppies, I can assist with crate and manners training, teaching cues, and socializing. I have a fenced back yard and a wooded area behind my house that we can explore on leash or long line. I have an 11 year old Labrador Retriever, Kinsey, who is a retired breeding dog from a service dog organization. She is very good with puppies and all around sweet natured, special gal. I have several dog safe areas in and outside my house. We can hang out on my front porch or my big back deck as they are gated. I have a puppy room that is more like an all purpose room for whelping, training, or grooming. I have nice training area in my basement as well. My living room can be turned into a puppy paradise by adding larger play equipment that puppies can climb, crawl under, and balance on to satisfy their physical needs and grow their confidence. I have crates and can offer assistance with crate training. I can provide engaging enrichment activities as well. I also have a wide variety dog toys, something for everyone!

“Ashley was nice and updated me on how Lucy was doing good communication”


“Celene is legitimately the best dog sitter you could ask for. She not only is an early riser but is a night owl. Celene sends updates and ask questions without even being asked. She not only puts effort in towards jaxsons training she has even went out of her way to teach us on how we could be doing different/better. Celene also makes sure that jaxson gets the proper food/water/bathroom breaks as he needs. He doesn't come back hungry, needing to potty, or beat up. Penny, celenes dog, is hands down the cutest little thing I've ever seen. When I get there she is happy to greet me at the door with kisses and tail wags. Jaxson also loves penny and always comes back PROPERLY wore out. My final thoughts are if I could had another grandma I would ask her. Shes been there for us EVERY time we've need her and that's at the end of the day all I could ask.”


“Lisa was so helpful with Hank and he always has the best time with her. She kept me updated the whole time and made everything so easy! Thank you Lisa!!”


“Emily was awesome to deal with. Very friendly, great communication and flexible with time. My dog really enjoyed his time with her and will be going back next time we’re in town!”


“Bo, enjoys going to Sharon's and says goodbye to her on the way out.”


“He did a phenomenal job! I booked last minute and he was very accommodating. He brought Dakota into his home with Kya and Roo, and made him feel very welcome.”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life. From growing up with dogs, cats, a bunny, a hamster, and even fish, my love for animals has always been a part of who I am. I've also worked at a doggy daycare and regularly cared for the pets of family and friends. No matter the type, animals have always had a special place in my heart. I’m currently finishing out my 9 to 5 Monday-Friday job to transition into a more flexible occupation which will allow me much more time to take care of your companions. As of right now, I’m available evenings and weekends but will be much more available in a couple weeks. One of my favorite things about visiting my childhood home is being greeted by our yellow lab and micro mini doodle…tails wagging and full of excitement. While I don’t currently live with any pets, I light up anytime I get to spend time with them. I've cared for family pets over the years, including bunnies (with quick drop-ins to refill water and tidy up) and cats (making sure they’re fed, their litter is clean, and giving attention when they want it). I love dogs of all sizes and make sure they get plenty of outdoor time, meals as directed, and of course, a treat or two if they’re up for showing off some tricks. I’m also experienced with administering medications when needed. To me, any animal in my care is an animal loved

About: I have gained experience with working in the community. I enjoy taking care of animals. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or just providing a calm presence Currently have open schedule. I am working as an RN part time. I would like to spend more time with animals after working as a nurse for 10 years I have space in my apartment if needed. I am not able to over night stay animals. There is a dog park at my complex.

“I felt so comfortable being out of town even though I missed my baby❤️.She updated me everyday how Diamond was doing,sent pictures.I would really recommend her to keep your pet very good with animals.I will be taking Diamond back if I have to go out of town again.”


About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12. I have no pets in my home at the moment, but I do have a 1 1/2 yr old child so will not be accepting large dogs at the moment (unless very friendly). I have plenty of enough time for boarding or day time care for your lovely pets. My home is quiet, friendly, and smoke-free! No worries when they are with me I do live in an apartment on the second floor, but will be walking your pets as much as needed. Pets will stay inside and be most comfortable with me as I am the biggest pet lover and will take best care of to my abilities!

About: I took care of a miniature dachshund growing up however I also dog sat a Great Dane who was later in life and had many health issues. I’m confident to deal with any issues or complications regarding your specific friend with a tail I am currently in Grad school and having a dog of my own isn’t in the cards right now so getting to walk and enjoy other people’s dogs makes my weeks a little bit brighter. I want the animals to feel like I’m part of the family and the routine. I want to feed them on time I want to be there to play with them. They deserve to feel comfortable and excited when I come over and watch them.

“Mikayla was able to watch Waylon for us at the last minute when our other Rover cancelled. He had a great time and I appreciate that they sent an update telling us he was doing okay.”

Penny M.
“We found that Penny certainly has a gift with dogs. Her main focus is on having a loving approach with dogs and intelligently identifying their needs. Penny sensed what our Bernadoodle, Rio needed help with and trained him accordingly, especially with socialization and trusting others. She has a talent in rewarding good behaviors and targeted skills for Rio. And Penny knew what he enjoyed and made a lambskin toy on a rope attached to a stick that is his all time favorite. We made a similar one and he still loves to chase the lambskin and it gives him hours of fun. Penny has a lot of experience raising puppies to be service dogs too along with many years of caring for and training dogs and is an expert in canine nutrition and knowledge of what supplies are necessary for their well being. Her house with it’s huge basket of toys, comfy beds, large variety of dog treats as well as her very large wooded lot allows for great experiences and walks for dogs. And generally being with Penny at her house and going out on their adventures together will always be Rio’s favorite thing to do.”

Seth P.
“Seth was an absolutely wonderful dog walker for our mini dachshund, Sassy. She’s a bit particular and not always the easiest pup to win over, but Seth was incredibly patient, kind, and reliable—and she quickly became excited for their walks together. He communicated regularly, sent updates and photos, and always treated Sassy like one of his own. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We would highly recommend Seth to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
