About: I love animals, dogs especially! My dogs are part of our family and my home is theirs as much as it is mine, to include having them warm, cozy, and comfortable (furniture and beds). They get plenty of TLC and safe living conditions. I am completely comfortable with giving medications and treatments. I have a clean home and can provide them with toys and lots of activities including playtime with my dogs. We are always up for a car ride or neighborhood walk weather permitting. Always a lap to lay in, hands free to rub a belly or scratch an ear, or just a cheek ready to be slobbered on with a wet kiss. I LOVE furbabies! I am always home as I work from home so they aren’t left alone very often. I live in a great neighborhood for taking walks. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own with a large fenced in backyard. I also have a large crate to use if needed.

About: I’ve loved animals ever since I was a kid and grew up aspiring to be a vet. I’ve had a lot of experience with hyper puppies, big dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and many more.

About: Hi! I am 20 years old and I have had dogs my whole life. I have experience with puppies as well as seniors. I have volunteered in a shelter. I also worked at a pet board and grooming facility.

About: I grew up on a farm, where we always had cats, dogs, and chickens. Over time we also had some pigs, goats, and even a cow. I was babysat as a child on a diary cow farm. I started working at a pet store when I was 18, moved onward to a dog kennel when I was 20, worked in an emergency animal hospital for just shy of two years and now I’m proud to say I’m with the nonprofit humane society! I personally have the most experience with dogs and cats, but also have experience with farm animals to an extent, some reptiles and some amphibious critters. I currently work on a contingent (as needed/ on call basis) in Dayton Ohio, at the vet hospital side of the humane society. Before being part time, I was full time for over two years! But it’s time to pursue some other dreams now. I live on a farm, and everyday I prioritize having my dog outside as much as possible after work, and playing with him for at least half of that time. I usually cook for him (plain meat / some dog safe seasonings), and clean/fill his kongs and lick mats. My cat and I play together and lay down and snuggle, and I more or less revolve around them. If my dog needs to go out at 3am, then so be it. My cat wakes me up because he’s hungry? Etc. everyday varies but it’s usually based on what is the best possible for the animals in my life

“Nicole was great! Got pictures and updates when she was there. Gus seemed happy when I got home!”


About: I have been around dogs of all sizes and breeds my whole life. I am excited to take care of your friend and make them feel cared for while you are away! I am a senior in high school. I recently quit my food service job and am looking for some cash before college. I am available on weekdays from 1pm - 10pm and anytime on weekends! I have a large fenced in yard and 1 fur baby. He is a beagle/basset hound and super friendly to all dogs. I also have a crate in case that’s a norm at your house!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was kid. To me they are like family and should be treated with love. I have 3 of my own that I've had since they were puppies. I'm currently working part time so I'm using my extra time to help others with their fur babies. I'm home most of the time so I can give them extra attention. My back yard is fenced in. I have dog crates available if they need it. Tons of toys and treats too. Clean and bug free home.

About: I have had at least one dog since I was a little girl. I have 17 years of experience training dogs, and 2 years of grooming. I own Keno's Legacy KR Dog Training & Grooming LLC. Legacy is named after two of my dogs Keno, my Red Heeler I had for 13 years, and KR stands for Karma Rein one of my 7 current dogs. Owning this business is my dream it's my passion, and my goal is to help people enjoy their dogs, get the knowledge, and care they need all in one place. Caring for pets is what I do, whether it's my own dogs, client's dogs, or strays that need a safe place to stay, we love them all the same. My house has a 6ft privacy fence that isn't accessible from the outside of the fence. Safety is our number 1 priority always, and our house is setup with that priority. We also try our best to provide as much of their normal routine as we can while their with us. If your dog is allowed on your couch or bed, they're allowed on ours. We try to make your pet feel as at home as we can while they stay with us. I own a dog training and grooming business so boarding fits in perfectly. My team that helps make it possible to provide great care for the dogs consists of myself, my husband Josh, and our good friend and employee Mike. Having 3 people to care for the dogs means that the dogs are rarely without someone present, and if so that is usually only long enough for us to be taking dogs out for walks or play times. We try to make the dog that is staying with me as at home as possible by maintaining their normal schedules the owner has them on as much as we can. We also expect the same things from them their owners would, so they aren't confused or doing something the owner doesn't desire when they return to get their dog.

About: I've worked in a boarding facility, cleaning up after dogs and cats, warming up to them if they're nervous, playing with them, and of course giving them lots of pets!❤️❤️ I'm free to take care of your pet full time! I'm also a doordash driver so I fit that into whatever time I'm not scheduled to play with your pets! I'm very adaptable. I can work in an apartment, or a home, I believe the best pet care starts with the setting. If your dog or cat is taken care of in your house they'll be much more comfortable, since they're used to the environment

About: I grew up with 3 large breed dogs and have done 2 years of dog walking / pet sitting! During my 2 years of pet sitting, I took care of puppies from 6 weeks old to senior dogs. Things that fell under the description of ‘took care of’ are; picking up poop, feeding / following dietary schedules, administering medications, walks, play time, bathroom breaks, training work, mental stimulation (snuffle mats, kongs, etc.) I do daily dog walks, and am helping my parents raise and train a German shepherd! I also have 2 cats of my own at home. I will travel to your home by car! I do not offer care for your pets in my home due to my cats not being very sociable haha!!

About: Experienced dog sitter with a lifetime of caring for dogs of all sizes, from mighty Irish wolfhounds to tiny Chihuahuas. In my own home since a young girl, I had pitbull’s, mastiffs, and Chihuahuas. With a background in veterinary care, I understand the unique needs of hyperactive pups, playful youngsters, and senior dogs requiring extra attention, including medication administration. I am patient and understanding with pets who may have accidents and always ensure they have a clean, comfortable environment. Dedicated to providing compassionate, attentive care, I’ll make sure your dog’s every need is met while you’re away, giving you peace of mind. I currently work part-time at a veterinary hospital in Richmond, with availability on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I also offer morning drop-ins, lunch visits, and evening check-ins. I live in an apartment with my boyfriend, who works full-time evening shifts, and none of my pets are with me at this time. There won’t much much traffic going in and out. If you’re interested in having your pet stay with me, please inform me in advance so I can discuss the details with my landlord.
