About: I have a large home in which I can provide a clean safe environment for your fur baby. He or she will get plenty of exercise and adequate potty breaks. I'm committed to giving your fur baby the amount of love and attention they need and desire. I have two teenage children who also love animals and will love your fur baby as if they were their own. My schedule is flexible and I can adapt to your pets needs. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby. So depending on your dogs preference they may sleep in a kennel, on a dog bed, or anywhere in our home. This a great way for me to be able to enjoy a variety of dogs. I'm currently working part time so your pet will not be on their own very often. I'm am usually available for drop off every day after noon. They get plenty of exercise and love. I will follow all instructions given to me making each pets stay safe and a unique and wonderful experience.

About: I’ve been hugging dogs since I was a kid, and I’d love to hug yours! Penny, Ciel, and I enjoy hosting furry friends - I take care of them and they play hard with them! Please note: *I cannot currently accept bookings for unneutered/intact male pups *I host a large, rambunctious group of pups throughout the week - pups who prefer quiet, calm environments may not have an enjoyable experience here, and I will happily recommend sitters who may be a better fit for your family Hosting pups is my full-time job - your pups become part of our family while they’re here! I spend my days with our guests, playing and chatting with them, and can attend to everyone’s needs regularly throughout the day. My 24/7 dedication to giving your pups the best experience while away from your home makes me a great choice for day care and socialization opportunities! I accept bookings between 7am and 7pm; I will consider bookings outside these hours on a case by case basis, potentially for an additional cost. My availability for picking up and dropping off is limited but I aim to be as flexible as possible. Reach out with your needs and we’ll work out an arrangement that works best for all of us! My entire yard is fenced in - there’s room to run full speed! I can adjust feeding schedules as needed to accommodate your dog’s diet. In good weather, pups are free to go inside and outside at their leisure. I don’t require pups to use crates while I’m gone or overnight, but if you prefer your pup be crated at any time, I’m happy to do that and have multiple available. Male pups will wear a belly band for the first 24 hours of their stay, at minimum - this soft, absorbent band fits around their belly and attaches with Velcro on their back. Belly bands reduce marking behavior, especially in unneutered males. You may bring your own, but I supply them, free of charge. Using belly bands keeps our home calmer, cleaner, and fresher by eliminating marking behavior and reduces anxiety for future pups by giving them less reason to want to mark over the scent of previous pups. I have indoor and outdoor security cameras in many locations that can be helpful to review if any safety situations arise. The safety of all of our pups is very important to me! (They’re also great for catching fun footage!)

About: I have had many pets of my own since I was child. I love all animals and am very patient and loving with all animals. I am experienced with bathing dogs, and I have a poodle mix and understand the importance of brushing long haired dogs. Your animal will be safe with me and loved on as if they were my own. I am currently employed working 3-4 days a week. I have every other weekend off of work and have 2-3 days off during the week, depending on the week, so that allows me to help people out not only during the week but weekends as well. Note: I do have my prices set a little bit higher so that way I can cover gas to and from, because we all know how high gas prices are right now. I have 3 dogs of my own who are all under 2. All 3 are energetic and require a lot of patience while going on walks, and getting their daily exercise in. I have a fenced in yard where I allow my dogs to run around while I am keeping a close eye on them. I even have a kiddie pool that I set up during the summer that I allow my pups to play in.

I’m thankful that I found Andrew on here! Lady, our rescue has issues with strangers. Andrew and I scheduled several meet & greets along with a trial walk. I was extremely impressed with how gentle and patient he was with her, it seemed like a perfect fit. I went from being completely nervous booking to complete relief after her first walk with him. I definitely recommend him!

We have had Chelsea in our lives for over a year. She has been with us for our fostering and a recent adoption of another kitty. We have a total of 6 pets (1 dog and 5 kitties) she looks after when we are on vacation. During the week, she comes over 3 times a week to walk our lab. She is definitely an adopted member of our family. Our lab goes flying through the house when she hears the front door unlock and several of our cats will even come running. Everyone in our house loves Chelsea. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her not only as a sitter, but as a person. You will not be disappointed with the care and love she gives your furbabies.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for over 15 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive, patient, and great at reading animal behavior, whether that means giving energetic dogs plenty of exercise or providing calm, gentle care for seniors or anxious pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work part-time and set my own schedule, which allows me to be very flexible and accommodating to my clients’ needs. I’m able to adjust my availability for walks, drop-ins, or extended care, including weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize clear communication to ensure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I have a fenced-in yard and prioritize a calm, safe environment for all pets in my care. I have two cats who are kept comfortably separated with their own space when dogs are visiting, as I understand transitions can be challenging. I’m very mindful of introductions, happy to crate dogs if needed, and always follow owner preferences and routines to ensure pets feel secure and well cared for.
