About: I am a natural at caring for and nurturing dogs which I have had since I was 3. Caring for them is a joy and a blessing. They will be pampered as if they were mine. I've taken care of puppies as well as elderly including those who need medication and special needs. I stay at home full time so there is no worry about separation anxiety or on time potty breaks. They also get plenty of exercise as needed as well as affection. I have 2 nearby dog parks, one within walking distance that I use. I have 2 yorkies that love other dogs and my home is theirs. They are welcome anywhere in my home. I do go by my middle name which is GAIL. Thank you!

“Emmaallyse watched our babies for a week and did a fantastic job. She sent lots of updated and we could tell our pets really liked her and she treated them well.

I have experience with medically fragile animals Eventually, I hope to have pet care as my main source of income. I am available for holidays, weekends, and overnight stays (subject to change). I try to keep an animals’ routine as close to normal as possible. I love and care for my clients’ pets like they are my own!


12. Nikki B.

“Nikki was great with our three dogs. She went above and beyond with everything we asked, and was able to execute everything they needed to be happy and healthy while she was here. We would 100% ask Nikki to watch our dogs again.”


13. Julie & Robert P.
“Julie has cared for animals for friends and families for years. She is a very loyal, kind hearted woman who loves everyone's animals as her own. She has cats and dogs of her own and they are all spoiled rotten. There is not anyone I would trust my animals with more than her. She is a rare find.”


14. Marlene K.
“We have used Marlene several times to watch our dog Olive. Olive ALWAYS comes home happy and tired 🥰 if there is an issue she contacts us immediately. She treats her as her own dog. Definitely recommend for any pet care needs!”


15. Diana M.
“Diana always has taken care of our dogs through the year like they were her own. I never worry when she has our dog. He gets walks, eats in timely manner and has his normal schedule for the most part as if we were there.”


16. Sarah B.
About: I have cared for our family dogs since I was a child. I currently have my own dog and love to spoil him by taking him on long hikes, giving him new treats, and taking him to our family's farm to run I’m currently working as a nurse so I have a few days off each week. I spend multiple days a week going on walks for hours and going to our family farm to exercise my dog. I have a fenced in back yard I have a friendly dog at home I have an extra kennel to crate your dog I have extra toys and treats for your dogs to share


17. Gabriel O.
“Abby answered all messages promptly. She fed my cats, scooped the litter box, and played with my cat as asked. She sent pictures every time she dropped in and kept us well informed. I felt good that I could leave my fur baby with someone that could be trusted. Great job Abby!”


18. McKenzie B.
About: A safe environment for your furry friends when you're away. I will ensure that your dogs receive the attention, care, and exercise they need. From playtime to walks, cuddles to feeding, I will keep your pups happy and healthy. A loving pet owner of a nine year old St. Bernard. Can administer medicine if needed. I will spend mornings and evenings with your pet(s)! I do work full time; if your home is a reasonable distance from where I work, I can drop by for lunch time potty breaks or walks. Your pet will go no more than 8-hours without me being there. As someone who travels often, I know what it feels like to worry about your pet while gone. I will abide by any house rules (even if that means they can’t sleep in the bed with me), and send lots of pictures and updates to give you a sound mind while away from your pups.
