About: I have lots of experience with crate training and a very energetic pup in my house who needs lots of socialization. He and I both need friends and exercise. I work from home and am attending school a couple of days a week, so I have time the rest of the week to get some fresh air. I have also fostered several dogs over the years and enjoy having furry friends that I can love and then give back. When I introduce a new dog to our family, I always keep them on leash at first until we establish trust, always use the crate for feeding and at night with white noise to help anxiety. I want the dog and my family to have the best time possible.

“Nathan was incredible. He got back to us with answers to our questions. He sent us pictures and updates throughout the day, we used him for doggy daycare. We will definitely be using him again.”


“We are so grateful that we found Jessica to watch our baby!! She send regular photos to make us feel comfortable!”

About: We are those people our friends and family call to care for their fur babies. Animals have been a part of our lives growing up. We do have a 4 year old who too shares our love for animals. We work from home, our schedule allows us to take the pups out as many times as they need. As well as cuddle breaks and belly rubs. We are an animal loving family, we have two dogs of our own. Our dogs get along with other dogs. We like to consider our dogs very laid back and chill. But if you prefer for the dogs to remain separate that is not a problem at all. We do have a large yard, it is not fenced but we will always be sure to leash up before we go out.

About: I’ve taken care of family pets since I was a child so I have years experience dealing with a variety of different animals including cats dogs and reptiles. I would love to help keep your up companion’s routine whenever you cannot. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to help you take care of your fur babies! I am available most weekends. I do not have a fenced in yard, but walks are frequent. My dog has a very mild temperament and would love to help tire out your pup if they like making new friends.

“Michelle made me fill at ease leaving my fur baby!”


About: Our doggies are family. We love our dogs ( Charlie and Piper) and treat them like family. We have over a half acre of fenced yard for our pups to run and play. My husband is retired and I am a real estate agent. Someone will always be at home to watch over any doggies we are caring for. Our dogs are very active and are in and out all day long, weather permitting. All dogs need to be current on their vaccinations (including bordatella) and flea/tick preventative. You just need to bring your pets food, I have bowls for food and water.

“Amazing service. Kenzie was very kind and friendly. She took great care of Valentino.”
