About: I have had both dogs and cats all my life. Many friends and family over the years have trusted their pets to be in my care. I just recently left my full-time job to be self-employed with the small business my partner and I started. My schedule is quite flexible and open at this time. I promise to provide quality care to each pet with attentiveness and enriching play time and walks as necessary. I am happy to follow any personal covid related protocols any client may have.
About: I have a genuine love for animals. I grew up on a farm, surrounded by dogs and all sorts of farm animals. You can count on me to give your pet the affection, comfort, and attentive care they need while you're away. Since I work from home, I'm able to provide dedicated one-on-one attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to offer extra walks and plenty of cuddle time. My top priority is your pet’s safety and we’ll-being. Please share everything I need to know about them to ensure they are safe and happy. I want them to feel loved and well- cared for as you are away. I make an effort to follow your regular schedule, including potty breaks, play times, and meals. Ensuring they have clean water and enough food. My goal is to ensure your dog(s) feels safe and comfortable in their environment(s).

About: I have been an animal lover since I could remember and have years of experience with friends and families with dogs of every kind!

I’m patient and I believe I’m a good trainer. i’m currently in school on summer break right now. I don’t have a job so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I’m open pretty much all day every day as of right now until my new school schedule comes out then after that, it’s probably just Friday Saturday and Sundays. when I come to your home, I’m gonna be as respectful as possible as well as patient and careful. I will follow any rules that you have set for me in your home!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs practically my whole life, and I’ve also worked at a pet food store so I’ve had experiences with all dog types. My friends and neighbors have often trusted me with their dogs. I currently work part-time (typically 9 am-2 pm) so I have plenty of free time in my afternoons and evenings to take care of your dog! I can also be pretty flexible if given enough notice. I am very respectful of anyone’s homes, and I always make sure to leave the place looking the same, if not better, than it was when I arrived.
About: I’ve taken care of rabbits, fish, hedgehogs, cats, dogs, and guinea pigs. I’ve done so for friends, family, neighbors, and mutual friends. I care for each pet like they’re someone’s baby, because they are! I currently work 8-4, but have a very flexible schedule. I can care for pets at almost any time of the day, and would love to play with your pets! I have one friendly dog who loves to go for walks or run in the field across the street. Our yard is not fenced in, but I have a very sturdy lead they can run on. We have tons of toys, and dogs are allowed on any furniture unless you specify otherwise. I have a crate and room for others if you provide your own.
“We were comforted during our long vacation knowing that Mary was caring for our 2 kitties. Her positive personality and sense of responsibility made her a great care taker. She made time on a daily basis to feed them and clean up their areas. As former ferals with a hurtful past, they are not used to strangers so did not warm up to her very much; she understood their perspective and respected it. She communicated regularly with us. We would definitely hire Mary again!”
“Lina is absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my cat and kept me updated with photos and videos during each visit. I would recommend Lina to anyone, she is reliable, kind, and a true animal lover!”
About: I grew up with a Maltese/Shi-Zhu. He passed away at 13 years old and was my best friend growing up. Fast forward to 4 years ago, my husband and I got a dog named Rylie from a shelter in the area. She is a German Shepherd Mix and we love her to death. I am a former Kindergarten teacher of 3 years, run an inhome daycare currently, and have a 15 month old daughter that keeps me busy. Looking to find families that look for weekend care. Cant wait to hear from you! I currently run an inhome daycare Monday-Thursdays. I have Friday's off, however, I do have a daughter that I would have to take with (if you are ok with that!). I am looking to help out on weekends consistently, or once in a while too for families when I am available. I will take care of your sweet dog in your home by playing, interacting, taking them for walks, cuddling with them, and providing them their basic needs while they are in my care. I love dogs of all ages and sizes!
