“Naomi has been wonderful to my two dogs and gave my little dog the time needed to be comfortable with her. I can not say enough about my dogs in her care I would recommend her over and over again.”
About: Professional Groomer, trainer, accepting pets in home for extended stay. Farm, fence, full play room, individualized care, puppies and aged dogs welcome! It’s a dog’s life! Grooming from in- home makes me a home based body. Full availability, 7 days a week - holidays included! Active home with quiet spaces and experienced care. Full care and integration into our daily routine if it works for your pet - we’re up early, and on the go - lots of socialization (or not, if that’s your pups jam!) play, enrichment time and experiences. As I work from home, as a groomer and on my hobby farm, my availability for in-home boarding is quite high! I generally am not gone from the house longer then 4 hours, unless otherwise noted at bookings. Sunday’s: due to how quickly I’ve become super busy (you guys are great, I appreciate all my clients and their pups!! So much!) I can only be available for drop off and pickup between 7-8 AM, and 6-8 PM. Sunday is Adventure and errand day - I will be in and out but we always do a super fun group activity (weather permitting!) on Sunday’s I utilize a lot of tools to keep everyone happy, healthy, and safe - kennels, gates, double leashes, double fencing, cameras (indoor and out!) and a very specific routine that I have found works for this little home. Please be aware - dogs need to be kennel trained to board here. I DO use them at feed time, and for nap times as needed, to keep all the dogs in my care safe. I ask that you send your dogs meals pre-packed, or in a reasonable (for their stay) container. Please leave “favorites “ that cannot be replaced at home. This includes beds! I provide fresh, daily, clean toys and blankets, plus raised cot beds. Feed time is 2X per day, with 2X per day “stimulation” snacks prior to nap time. I provide all snacks, but need to know if your pup has a special diet. If your dog has separation anxiety, I really need to know. It doesn’t mean I won’t take your dog, but it DOES mean I have to structure things differently for that particular stay, and rates will be discussed. My own dog has SA, so I understand; I just need the information to plan accordingly.
“Marisol is great! She is communicative and reliable. She takes extra time for cuddles and treats. And she gets along great would my pup. Would gladly recommend her to anyone :)”
“Kelly took great care of my pups, giving them the exercise and love they needed! Thanks for helping me in a pinch.”
“We have had a great experience with Jamie! We have a new baby and a toddler, and getting our dog out for walks sometimes feels impossible. This is our first time hiring a dog walker and she has made us feel so comfortable, and our dog sure appreciates it! Our dog is a little nervous and Jamie has worked hard to make her comfortable going for walks with her. She is very communicative, flexible, and responsive. Cant say enough good things!”
About: I have had animals my entire life and love meeting new ones! I would love to help your family and meet your furry friends! T I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your furry friends! I have a pretty flexible schedule and I am willing to work with you. I have a puppy of my own and she is the light of my life! She is full of life and I love brininging her on walks and playing with her. I would treat your furry friends as I treat my own !
About: Ever since the family cat had kittens when I was four years old, I have been drawn to the care of animals. Honoring the lives of pets as our friends has been a source of inspiration and therapy for myself personally. As a working artist, taking the time to care for animals has been such a privilege and the perfect change of pace while I continue to work on creative projects. I have a German Shepherd that I keep separated from the work I do with other animals. I am located at a small farmhouse in Augusta that has a huge yard with two a-joining fields. There is more than enough room to explore the surround with your pet. I am also an avid walker so exercise is big for me generally.
“Madelyn is wonderful with my dog. He loves their time together. She follows instructions and takes professional quality photos of my pup on their walks. 🐶📷💕Her communication is always great too!”
About: I have worked in the veterinary field for about 3 years. I went to school and became a Certified Veterinary Assistant. I am also Pet CPR Certifed. I have my own pet/house sitting business and offer feline grooming! I work full time but am able to pet sit every night, on weekends and do checks on pets during the day, sometimes multiple times a day. Your pets will get lots of play time, go on walks, and get lots of attention. I do like to relax with them and just hang out as well, depending on the pet.
“Kay was reliable and great with my dog”
“Great job! Lots of feedback”
“Kristen is reliable, trustworthy, and great with our dog Sully. He absolutely loves her! Highly recommend her to anyone looking to have someone spoil and love on your pet when you cannot!”
“Emma did a wonderful job looking after my husky Luke. She was conscientious about his special needs and was a wonderful communicator.”
“Another great booking with Carly! Such a relief knowing Harley is well cared for as I have had to travel on short notice to deal with family health issues.”
About: I have 6 years total experience working at Harbor Road Veterinary Hospital as a Vet Tech/Assistant as well as caring for boarding animals. I also worked at a doggie daycare for 6 months. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats and 1 bearded dragon of my own that I care for everyday! I’m currently working full-time Monday Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and I spend weekends at home with three dogs and three cats. I will require a harness for walks! I would not want to be in a situation where your dog could get off leash and run off. I am willing to take dogs to the dog park and on walks! depending on the situation I may be able to fit in a walk and/or drop in during the weekdays, just reach out and ask! Boarding - dogs must be dog friendly! Cat friendly would be a plus but the cats can be put in a separate area. I work with Animals 4 days a week at Habor Road Veterinary Hospital as a Veterinary Tech/Assistant. I help provide routine care such as vaccines and Flea/tick/heart worm prevention (under the supervision of a licensed DVM), illness visits, blood panels, nail trims, dematting, etc. With my experience in the Veterinary Field I am confident I can provide a safe trusting environment where your dog/cat will have all their needs met and plenty of love while spending time with me.
“Melissa was great! She walked our two 70lb pit bulls Skye and Blue 4 days in a row. She was great communicating the times she was going to walk them and showing up on time. She sent pictures each walk with the map and distance of the walks. We would definitely hire Melissa again to walk Skye and Blue. Highly recommended!, Thank you Melissa!”
“Vanessa is awesome! Stella is very shy and she warmed up to Vanessa quickly!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals of all kinds - dogs and cats included. I love animals and wish to make a career out of providing pet care. I am pet first aid & CPR certified and I am bonded and insured. I strive to provide nothing but the best care possible! I have trained my service dog all by myself and have trained my other dog myself! I also have experience with training other dogs — I specialize in service dogs and problem behaviors in dogs! I do my best to be very flexible with scheduling. I do have occasional appointments but those can typically be worked around. I would very much appreciate having recurring customers, this also makes it easier to fit new clients into my scheduling. I have a portal system for easy scheduling and invoicing as well! I enjoy being active and I wish to work to become more active. I have a standard poodle who is my service dog. I also have a younger standard poodle that I have trained myself. I do not always bring my service dog with me, it is all dependent on how our dogs interact. Also if you would like for me to teach your dogs I would be happy to talk more!
About: I started a career in dog care in 2010. I have extensive experience with all dog breeds in boarding, day care, training, grooming and vet tech. I then began rescuing Pugs and have my 5th one currently. I love all animals and look forward to caring for yours! I have a flexible schedule. Let's see what works for both of us. I'm available as often as needed and I have reliable transportation available I have a dog park across the street but also plenty of regular walking trails if your pet isn't social. My dog is very friendly and always happy to make a new friend
About: I grew up with multiple large dogs, and I have been taking care of them since I was little. I can groom (no teeth or nails, just brush and bath) and walk, feed and give medication. I can train and take care of puppies, and I have experience taking care of senior dogs. I raised my Saint Bernard from a puppy, and took care of her until her death from cancer in early 2024. Now I have a Newfoundland, and not only do we go on multiple walks a day but we also work on training, and play with toys. I also have experience working with reactive dogs. Idk man. I love dogs. I love taking care of dogs. I can also recommend a really good dog trainer if you need one. I am a field hockey coach and I am also working in an internship, but other than that I am free this summer for morning and day visits. My dog Mortimer is my favorite responsibility, and I know I will love the dogs I get to meet and take care of. Mortimer and I love going for walks and playing with big squeaky toys. He is such a snuggler and enjoys looking out the window of my house or car.

19. Catherine K.
“I am so grateful I found her! My new work schedule was so hectic and I was exhausted when I returned home. Long walks with my Yorkie (9) and Yorkie-Palm (1) turned to us just standing in the front yard. I knew it wasn't enough. I knew I needed help, my dogs deserved more. That's when I reached out for help and came across Sky in her eye profile. I was nervous at first because I am really protective of my Yorkies. She arrived on time and communicated with me the whole time she is with my pets, which was very important to me. They absolutely adore her! She is loving and patient with my older Yorkie, but also fun and energetic with my pup. I'm also grateful that I can trust her to watch my pets when I have to go out of town. My dogs are not neutered so they don't have many options when it comes to pet hotels. You can tell she has a lot of knowledge about caring for dogs, but what I love is her friendly attitude and the passion she has for what she does. Thanks to her my dogs are well taken care of when I am away and also get the right amount of exercise on the days I don't have the energy to give them the walk they deserve. Again I am so grateful for such a reliable doggy caregiver, I think she is the best and I'm sure your dogs will think so too!”
