About: I have an exceptional talent in making each and every canine and feline feel happy and loved. They thrive under my care, and love individual attention and understanding. Pet care is second nature to me, and fits extremely well with my current lifestyle of working part time and living in a retirement community. Pets cared for in my home are well loved and get lots of attention. I walk dogs regularly, and am exceptional at playing with and caring for them. I am in the backyard with them whenever they go outside.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from my home for my neighborhood and my previous neighborhood for over 15 years. I’m reliable and trustworthy. I’ll take care of your dog like it’s mine!

Also, your dog will have access to the commons areas in my home and will not be restricted to a crate.
About: As a child, I owned almost every pet imaginable - from house cats to Rottweilers to lizards to ferrets! Bless my poor mother's heart - we practically had a small zoo at our house! As an adult I owned a cat for 5 years and also "dog /cat sat" for friends and families many times. I'm an all-around animal lover who is comfortable with many different types of pet care. I'm a stay-at-home mom with plenty of flexibility on both weekdays and weekends to provide care for your pets. My availability is limited on federal holidays. I live in a pet-friendly house with a fenced-in back yard. The neighborhood is quiet and safe for walks. I also have access to a nearby park.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and they’ve always been a key member in our family. Our home loves dogs of all sizes and can’t wait to host yours 🤍 I work from home so your pup will have to keep me company all day! Since I have a flexible work schedule there will be plenty of time for play, walks & cuddles I have a fenced in backyard and live in a neighborhood with plenty of walking areas so there are plenty of opportunities for potty breaks and walks.
About: Mom of 2 teens - we have been dog owners for many years and looking forward to giving the same loving care to your pets in your absence.

They are inside dogs with a fenced in yard. Although they have their own beds, they prefer the human bed and sofa. Our dogs love to be pet and especially love their treats and walks.

Highly recommend her!”
