About: I have 2 small mixed playful and friendly dogs. I am a dog lover and truly enjoy the time I have with each dog in my care. I have a breezeway where your dog can stay and hang out. The breezeway has sliding dooos that open to a large, fully fenced backyard. My work as a home care Physical Therapist allows me to have a schedule that is flexible. I am able to check in intermittently on the dog(s) during the day for potty breaks or as needed as I work close to, or around my home. I can provide medications, shots, etc as needed. I am also very flexible with the dogs in my care and provide attention and love each one as if he or she was my own fur baby. I et them sleep on my furniture or bed if that is what they like. My home will be a safe and comfortable haven for your furry child(ren). And you can relax while on vacation. My work as a home care Physical Therapist allows flexibility and I am able to do drop ins as needed. I can also pick up and drop off dogs if requested. I have a large fenced backyard and 2 friendly dogs who will keep your fur child(ren) company. I make sure each dog gets the attention and care they need.

About: I've been a petsitter since middle school. I've looked after cats and dogs both young and old, large and small. I'm very flexible and I take special care to keep each pet I care for comfortable and happy. I'm not currently employed, so I have plenty of time. I prefer late hours, but I can handle early risers too. I have a club event every second and fourth Tuesday; otherwise I'm fairly flexible with my activities. I will meet your pet wherever they are. If they need affection, I can give it; if they need space, I can give it. I put their well-being first, no matter what. If they make a mess, I will clean it up.

About: I’ve supported pet owners by providing reliable care that focuses on routine, safety, and comfort. I’ve worked with pets of varying energy levels and personalities and understand how consistency, patience, and clear communication help animals feel at ease while away from their owners. My availability allows me to dedicate consistent time throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. I plan my day carefully to ensure pets receive dependable attention without feeling rushed or overstimulated. I prioritize clear routines, secure spaces, and careful supervision. I follow instructions exactly as provided, keep environments clean, and remain observant of behavior changes so pets stay safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog sitter and devoted pet parent with years of experience caring for my own dogs and providing trusted pet-sitting. I’ve cared for my Morkie (Maltese-Yorkshire mix) for 11 years, so I’m very familiar with the needs of small dogs. I also have hands-on experience caring for our Golden Retriever for 7 years, giving me experience with both small and large breeds. Our Golden is epileptic but has been seizure-free for over 2 years, giving us firsthand experience with administering medication, monitoring health, and following strict routines - experience that also helps us care for dogs with medical needs or seniors. As a young, active couple, we love taking energetic dogs on walks and adventures, while also providing calm, personalized care for those who need quiet time or extra cuddles. Every dog has a unique personality, and I tailor my care to their needs, routines, and comfort. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone else. That’s why I provide the same attentive, loving care I expect when leaving my own pets, so you can feel completely at ease. My unique advantage lies in my flexible schedule which allows me to dedicate ample time and undivided attention to your cherished pets. Whether it's quality cuddles, playtime adventures, or leisurely strolls, I'm committed to providing top-notch care tailored to your pet's unique needs. In my home, your furry friends will find a spacious and welcoming environment where pets are free to roam around, an outdoor terrace with secured fencing, and local parks (including a dog park) for exercise. I strive to provide a loving and comfortable atmosphere that makes them feel like part of the family.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and pets for many years and truly love being around animals. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I understand how important routines, safety, and affection are for animals, and I make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently available for dog walking and drop-in visits during the mornings and afternoons. Since I work later in the day, I have flexibility earlier to make sure your dog gets exercise, fresh air, and attention. I’m reliable with scheduling and happy to follow your dog’s routine to keep them comfortable and active. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority on every walk. I pay close attention to leash safety, surroundings, and each dog’s behavior to ensure a calm and enjoyable walk. I follow any instructions you provide and can adjust to your dog’s pace and energy level. I’m also happy to send updates or photos so you know your pet is safe and having a good time.

About: Everyone says I am a natural with animals. I have not met a pet that didn’t melt my heart . Every interaction with an animal is one of a kind and special in its own way. Dogs truly leave imprints in your heart they are family. I believe every dog is deserving of love , cuddles and lots of patience. Repetition and Redirecting with positive reinforcement are the keys to a well behaved pup. I will offer only what is best for your furry friend. Be assured that they will be in great loving hands with me and my family. When booked for day care or boarding. I would be following a schedule with your pet. We will have a fun day filled with routines, exercise and play time for cognitive stimulation My biggest goal is to make your pet feel safe and comfortable. They will always be kept separate from other pets I have at all times. Unless you request your pup to socialize. I will offer your pup a schedule that is fitting for them.

McKenna was amazing and I’m super grateful she was able to do it on such short notice. She continued to update me and sent me pictures and my girl was so happy . They became quick friends and that shows a lot about her personality and how amazing she is with animals because my girl is scared of most people. I will definitely be asking for her help again in the future.
