“Maureen has been walking our dog for the past several weeks. There are not enough words to describe how amazing she is with our precious pup! She is flexible, accommodating and a skillful communicator. She has handled our sometimes difficult to walk dog adeptly. It’s evident she loves her work. Will book again for sure! Also - if she ever wanted to get a side job as a photographer, she easily could. She captures the most gorgeous pictures!”

About: Need someone to care for your fur baby while you’re away? You can count on me! I’ve had experience with lots of dogs. Including two of my own. I’ve worked with reactive dogs, and calm dogs and everything in between! I’ve done a class on dog grooming and care. I’ve also done lots of training with my own dogs. Whether your dog is calm, energetic, or maybe a bit rambunctious, you can rest assured they will be cared for! I currently work full time about 40 hours a week at a dog and cat boarding facility. My schedule is adjustable if I am notified enough in advance. I am willing to feed, potty, walk, groom, train, and babysit your dog. I crate trained my previous dogs well. I also taught them sit, stay, come, speak, touch, dance, roll over, off, wait, lay down and I even taught one of my dogs to play the seeker in hide and seek!

About: I can provide a safe quiet home for your pet to visit when you’re away. I work from home and spend the days with our almost 8 year old boxer mix, Aggie. We love taking walks to the park near our home and we have a small fenced in back yard with a privacy fence. Aggie gets along with almost every dog and will sometimes play. She can be pretty vocal when she plays but is otherwise super quiet. She’s a great role model for younger dogs :) I work from home so I am usually home with the pets for most of the day. We take daily walks when the weather is good. We have a large dog crate if your dog needs. Our yard is fenced in and dogs wouldn’t usually be home alone for more than a few hours.

About: I'm a teacher and an animal lover! I'm great at caring for others. 😄 We have two friendly cats and would love to host some dogs. I'm available most weekends and all summer. I'm available to board your pet most weekends! You can always reach out even if my schedule says not available. Those that have boarded with us love that their pet was clean, relaxed and well cared for. My kids love animals and your pet will be given a lot of attention. We have two cats that we love dearly. Our animals are part of our family. We hope to meet a few nice families that want their pets to get some extra attention in evenings or weekends.

About: I have 30 years of experience taking care of dogs of all breeds and all ages. I started out as a dog walker when I was a kid and would walk dogs for my neighbors and my passion for animals grew from there! Once I was old enough I volunteered at the local humane society and have continued providing care for pets ever since. I have quite a bit of experience working with reactive dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and even aggressive dogs. I have experience with house breaking and basic obedience training. I work part time from home which gives me a lot of flexibility to do what I’m most passionate about which is taking care of animals! For dogs that stay in my home I have a fenced in back yard on a quarter acre. I absolutely love taking dogs for walks as well so they have an opportunity to take in the sights, and stop to sniff the trees. Dogs staying in my home have free range of the upstairs level of my home which is quite spacious. Plenty of space for zoomies on those bad weather days when we are cooped up inside!
