Ashley did a great job looking after my two cats while I was away for the weekend. She sent plenty of pictures which I really enjoyed, and was very accommodating when I made a mistake with the apartment complex hours. Will definitely be asking for her help again when I travel!

About: I've been a dog owner my entire life! I've always had multiple pets but for the first time in my life we now only have 1 dog, Joby. Joby and I both miss having more furry friends around so Rover is the perfect solution! We have a HUGE fenced in back yard for Joby to play with her friends and we some times like to go on walks around the neighborhood during nice evenings. We also have three little humans with us, so we can only take in dogs who are comfortable with kids. My husband, Randy, also helps with caring for our clients. Your dog will receive tons of love and play from the entire family. Randy and I both work from home at the moment. We usually run out of the house for errands and appointments, but we can adjust based on the needs of any pup we are boarding. We have lots of space indoors and outdoors for the pups to play. We have plenty of space for a crate or beds. We like to go on walks around the neighborhood sometimes, but we can skip leaving the home if that is preferred. When the temperature is above 90 degrees we greatly limit the dogs' time outside to bathroom breaks during the day but we try to let them get some playtime in the morning.

Emerson, Is just great. She is very polite, so attentive to our boy, concerned and attentive to your home. I have had great caregivers before. She makes leaving our boy for awhile very comforting. Great!

About: I’ve lived in a few different houses in my life, all full of pets! Currently I have seven in my home and I apply constant care to 2 of them! I’ve trained all of my dogs over the years to do tricks, and have some fun techniques for it now! I’m always up for elderly animal care as well, as I have lived with and cared for a handful of elderly dogs and cats in my time! I think my nurturing and love for animals sets me apart as well as my experience with so many of these pets! I’m currently a student at Longwood university! I will have lots of time after classes or on days off for plenty of pet care! I can’t work Sunday’s as I have to care for my grandmother, but I get out of school most afternoons with plenty of extra time for pet care! I care very attentively for pets in my home and others’ homes! I love taking my dogs for a walk, we have a fenced in yard as well, but I’m fine just walking them if no fence is present! I try to keep them company and play with them as much as I’m allowed, and of course would work to make sure I don’t stray from their comfort zone as I know sometimes animals can be upset at certain triggers!

About: I have been a dog lover all of my life and know how important their care is. Dogs are just part of the family! I love getting to know each dogs personality and figure go above and beyond to consider the needs of a variety of pups. I have a flexible schedule allowing me to provide constant care for your pup. I am interested in meeting and caring for all types of dogs, big/small, puppy or seniors! I can be as flexible as possible and will be honest about your pup’s care. I will treat your fur-babes like part of the family. We have a fenced in yard and If your pup is more comfortable as part of the pack, they are invited in to have the run of the house with our family dogs. We love dogs and will try to accommodate any special requests. Available to check in on your pups every 4 hours (m-f) and spend weekends all day with your dogs! I can check in with your pups every 3-4 hours during the day and be there to stay after 4 pm. I prioritize feeding and potty schedules to make sure there are little to no changes in their routines. I care for your pets like they are my own. Figuring out they’re behaviors and personalities is important to me. Some dogs need lots of love and attention and others like their space, either way they’ll be in great hands.

About: early years, my family were training Morgans for the Kentucky Derby. It had been an exhilarating journey, one that beautifully intertwined skill, patience, and a profound bond with these majestic horses. Each horse is unique, deserving of personalized training that not only harnesses their incredible speed and agility but also fosters a deep connection between horse and trainer. As l've grown, my focus has shifted from merely training to cherishing those heartfelt connections, as they truly enrich my life. Alongside my passion for equine training, I find immense joy in the companionship of dogs and cats, nurturing their spirits It’s all I do - besides writing. I chose to step Away from The chaos of the world to care for my own well being by taking care of animals. With respect, kindness and love as I would expect in my own home and with my own pets. Pets bring joy and peace to my life.

About: I have had a variety of animals my whole life! I absolutely love being around animals and spending time with them. I have taken care of dogs of all ages, all the way from newborn to seniors! I am available on weekdays only. I do work a breakfast shift (5am-11am) Wednesday to Saturday. However, I am available the rest of the day! I will have plenty of time to tend to your animals and take care of their needs. I have a very large unfenced yard that would be great for leashed activities like walking and going potty. I also have a fenced area that’s perfect for some unleashed outdoor time. I would keep any pets inside most of the time to ensure safety while I am with them. I do have a crate that I could keep your pet in while I am at work (if your baby is crate trained). All animals are allowed to roam the house and sleep in the bed if that’s allowed at home!

Melissa was a fantastic cat sitter! She is a very caring individual who took very good care of our "baby", and was very kind, considerate and timely. She definitely has a great love of animals, and our cat was very well taken care of and loved. We would absolutely ask her to care for our cat in the future!

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have been dog-sitting since I was 12! My favorite part is taking dogs on multiple walks a day, it is such a strong point of connection and exercise for them! I’m currently working part-time while in graduate school, so my schedule is very flexible! I am off work during the summer, so more availability ! I make sure that I am gentle and warm when first meeting pets, to build the rapport! I also ensure to implement how the owners take care of their pet, so it feels familiar!

Our cats and chickens were well taken care of during a Christmas trip to see the in laws and even our Christmas tree was kept watered! I look forward to having her booked for any future trips since our shy, anxious kitties like her.
