About: I started walking my next door neighbor’s Boston Terrier when I was around 10. She knew I was an animal lover, and even let me experiment with some training with her pup. This led to me getting into agility training and just general dog training, which I have started to pick back up again. I am known as the family dog sitter, as my family has a combination of Pit Bulls, Bernedoodles, and hunting breeds, so I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes and stubbornness! Aside from dogs, I grew up volunteering at shelters where I adopted my own cat when I was 15, and eventually even landed a job as a zookeeper! As far as my own pets go, I currently keep it to my cat, fish and my wonderful Bearded Dragon, Albus. From my own pets, work experience, and love of training, I really have worked with everything from lizards to rodents to dogs to elephants! One consistency throughout my experience is my love for animals, and my passion to improve the quality of their life! Specific skills: - Puppy/Adult dog training - Hoofstock care and training (goats, horses, exotics) - Reptile care I currently work from home, so I have the availability to work from wherever I need to. This also gives me the option to walk/train during my breaks. I have weekend availability as needed as well. I am able to stay over at a pet owner’s home if needed, however I prefer to host pets in my own home whenever possible. I currently have a 1 year old mixed breed who absolutely LOVES having the company! As always, your pet’s safety is my number one concern. I am trained in identifying and understanding animal behavior and will not put your animal in a position where they do not feel safe. I am also a huge advocate for leash laws and ADA regulations protecting service dogs, so these will always be respected and enforced in my care. I am a huge advocate for animal enrichment, working as a zookeeper in the past taught me how important mental stimulation is for an animal, and how when paired with proper exercise can mitigate behavioral issues in pets. This is something I would love to bring to the table for my clients!

“Jaime was so loving towards Riley. This was her first time in doggie daycare and since we lost our other dog in June she’s really never spent time with other dogs. Jaime gave her extra attention so she felt more comfortable. I also appreciated the pictures throughout the day.”

About: I have worked years with saving animals and have always been a big dog lover. Looking to do what I love most . I have 2 children that I recently took in and have a new puppy who loves other dogs. She is a sweet girl. I would love to have more dogs but really cant afford to . So this way I can help others with their pets and my girl can have some playmates. I live in a house on 3 acres. I have kennel , electric fence and a chain for dogs to go out on. Whatever is best for your dogs. I am flexible on size of dogs and have experience with many dog personalities. I do own 2 cats but can keep them away from dogs. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with the animals. I am home most days a week and if I do work it's a couple of hours 4 times a month I have a fenced in area and large yard for your fur babies to play.Also, have plenty of room inside for dogs to play .

About: What sets me apart is my patience, empathy, and special skills with both young puppies and senior dogs. I have experience with training basic puppy manners, as well as caring for older pets who may need medication, slower walks, or extra comfort. I also provide consistent updates so you always know how your pet is doing. As a Deaf sitter, I bring an extra sense of visual awareness and attentiveness - pets often respond really well to body language and calm energy, which makes our bond even stronger. Families I’ve worked with appreciate my reliability, safety focus, and genuine love for their pets Pet care is a fundamental part of my daily and weekly routine. I ensure I take them for potty breaks 4-6 times a day. I feed them and engage in outdoor play sessions 2-3 times daily, providing both exercise and companionship. I live in an apartment with ample living room space and have access to an outdoor backyard that includes forest hiking trails and a mini dog park. Whether in my home or my client's, I ensure pets have plenty of space for comfort and play. I provide a safe and engaging environment, tailored to their needs, ensuring they feel at home and well-cared for.

“Haley and Amanda were great daycare hosts for our dog Jager! We booked a VERY last minute daycare with them and they were exceptional. Pickup and drop off were seamless, there was active communication throughout the day and photos of Jager playing with their dogs. 10/10 experience and I would absolutely book with her again. :)”

About: I have a lifetime of experience with pet care, which began with helping my mom run her in-home dog boarding business when I was growing up. The skills and experience that I've gained in that time enable me to provide the best possible care for your pet. I live with my girlfriend who is a veterinary technician with over 15 years of experience. Ours is a loving home, with a large, securely fenced yard. Our top priority is to keep your dog safe, feeling comfortable, and relaxed, just as they would be in their own home. I offer boarding, walks, in home visits, and more. I am comfortable giving meds, preparing special diets, and caring for puppies as well as seniors. I used to train and show dogs when I was younger, and can help get your puppy off on the right foot with house training. Dog sitting is my only job, and my flexible schedule revolves around that. I can be available at any reasonable time for pick-up and drop off appointments. I'm home almost all of the time to be with the dogs, only leaving to run brief errands when necessary. All dogs are cared for in my home. I have a large, securely fenced in back yard. During the day, dogs are free to be outside to play in the backyard as much as they wish. All dogs sleep in large crates or X-pens in our comfortable dog room at night, or when we are not home. We have a young cavalier who would be happy to have new friends to play with. For safety, I separate dogs for feeding and if we're out of the house, although it's rare that no one is home. Guests need to like other dogs and people.

“Fritz was amazing and definitely tired Stok-Li and Kali out, they couldn’t even stay up on the ride home! He was great with them and they felt automatically comfortable around him.”

About: Grad student providing affordable, enriching, and attentive pet care. My clients appreciate that I can provide non caged boarding and frequent playtime. I have 3 rooms that can be separated or can be free roam. I created an enriching and interactive cat oasis motivated by treats, pets, and cozy nooks so that boarding will be comfortable for them! My clients usually love that I’m always just a text message away with frequent picture updates. To ensure a great time for your pets please do not hesitate to specify anything you need, like defined eating routines, medication schedules, nail trims, transport, anything! I’ll be happy to take care of your babies! I work from home and rarely leave for over an hour at a time. I usually start my day at 4:45 AM and am happy to space feeding and playtime schedules according to your usual routines. I have a separate room to care for your pet privately should you prefer. Otherwise they will have access to the entire home with food, toys, and companionship at all times during their stay!

About: *If you are UNSURE if will need boarding DO NOT send me a boarding request unless you are 100 percent sure you need services, please and thanks. Be sure to fill out the questions about your pet fully prior to contacting me, so I can inform myself about your dog. *I must preface that this site is not my primary way of booking dogs so the calendar may not always be up to date. The best way to know my availability is to message me once your service needs and dates are cemented. I provide a specific service accepting one dog at a time. I own a home that I work out of as well. I do a family dog style stay, rather than kennel format I do family style boarding. I can stick to your routine or we can do something different like getting your dog out for more walks. I understand how difficult it can be to find a place for your dog to feel the same security they do in your home with your family. I realize many people are adopting dogs that need strong handlers dogs that may be reactive or have social issues. I also understand how difficult it can be to find a boarder who is skilled in this area and a handler that your dog feels comfortable and confident with specifically if they are reactive with other dogs. And it is for this reason, I only board multiple dogs if they live in the same home. I will not accept a cold booking without meeting the dog first. Based on 24 hour schedule extra days past scheduled time naturally occur extra fees. I work for myself from home so I make my own schedule daily. I can adjust to any schedule. I typically have the dog on a nice regular routine while here. I care for all pets as if they were my own. I only take one animal at a time all of my repeat clients return for this reason alone.

“Alex and Bayern were both amazing hosts. We were in town for a wedding and didn’t want to leave Ziggy by himself. They took really great care of Ziggy and made him (and us) feel at home. We would highly recommend them and we’ll always return to them whenever we’re back in town. Thank you being such amazing hosts and taking care of Ziggy!”

“Alison is the best! We used her for daycare and my dog was so happy she didn’t want to leave. Alison clearly loves dogs and treated Beasley like her own. She came home tired and happy and we will definitely be using Alison in the future!”
