“Clara loved her stay with Kryz! There were plenty of dogs to keep her busy! Kryz responded quickly to all texts and even sent a video so we could see how well our fur baby was doing.”

“Oscar was treated like family on his stay with Krysten and her family. With more people and 4 legged friends he kept more entertained and engaged than being at home as evidenced by the photos we received. Oscar says "YES, I want to go back"”

“Christina has a fantastic fenced in backyard and a very friendly dog. You can tell she enjoys interacting with the dogs too! She sent some videos and pics to let us know how they were doing. We can tell they had an absolute blast with her family! We barely made it in the door and they both flopped over from being tired! We will be definitely be repeat customers!! THANK YOU!!!!!”

“She was super nice and graceful with my last minute request and my unintentional late pick up! My pup loved her (and that says a lot she's an introverted dog)!! Highly recommend her! I will definitely be requesting her in the future to watch my pup again!”

About: I grew up with pets and love and respect them very much. We can learn a lot from them. I would love to make your pet feel safe. I work from home so your pet will always be with me and I like to give them a lot of attention. My schedule is very flexible. I make sure that your pet feels at home. I will follow your instructions to make your pet feel at home and I always hace extra snacks.

About: Our entire family loves dogs and pets. We love to welcome new friends to our house! My children love to be around other dogs and help out. We are a homeschool family and so we are home all day with plenty of people around to give attention to your pet. We are flexible to times and days. We live in the country and do not have a fenced yard. We are happy to use leashes to help your get outside for bathroom breaks, walks and playtime. We have a golden retriever who loves dogs.

About: Growing up on a farm, I have had dogs, cats, and all kinds of livestock. Observing animal behavior is key in knowing that an animal is happy and comfortable in their environment. I also have an animal science degree that has given me more insight to general health and diet. I work here on our farm. So my schedule is very flexible and can be adjusted to your pets routine and care. Going for walks or getting outdoors is an easy activity living on an acreage. We have multiple dog beds and allow pets on the furniture. We also have crates available if your pet needs some quiet time or if that is something they are used to.

“Michelle is great! She REALLY cares about your dog, treats him as her own. 💕”

About: Dogs are my main passion, I have one small dog of my own and he is the most important thing to me. My dream is to become a personal dog trainer and I'm currently working on getting more experience with a variety of dogs. I have a certificate for dog training from Penn Foster online college. I used to work at a local animal boarding and spa place which gave me experience with handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, as well as feeding dogs with special diets and administering medication to dogs. I am very responsible and respectful towards other people's things and understand how important pets are to their owners. I always make sure I do the best that I can in everything I do. I'm in between jobs at the moment so for now I would be home 97% of the time. Even when I get a job, I will be able to give potty breaks and feed on a schedule. I have 1 small dog to keep them company. They can get along with anyone, they've had plenty of socialization with dogs. All dogs would be treated as my own.

About: My first job was at a vet clinic, where I worked for 3 years, feeding and watering the dogs and cats and taking them outside and on walks. My apartment has a dog park with lots of fun activities for the pups. I have a 3 year old energetic 16 lb aussie poo and a soon to be 12 year old 11 lb shihtzu/couch potato so I'm used to the active and the lazy lifestyle. Each week is different for work so I will update my schedule as I figure that out. Def message me if you have questions on a certain time frame. I sometimes crate my aussiepoo, so I do have one crate and am okay if you want to bring one over for your pet as well. If your pet is here often and is used to a crate, I'd likely invest in another crate for my home. Since I'm in an apartment, I leash the dogs to go outside and to the dog park- please let me know if you'd rather me not take your dog to the park. It's typically only 1-2 other dogs if any, when we go.

About: I’ve been around animals and have had animals since before I could walk. I was taught to respect all animals. I am a go to for friends and family who need their fur babes looked after. Currently a stay at home mom with a daughter who is in school. This will offer the flexibility I need to walk and play with your animal(s) while my human baby is at school. I have a dog park less than 2 miles from my home. I’m not far from the hike trails for walks and I have a luscious little side yard for the zooms.

About: My family has been fostering dogs through a local rescue organization for a few years. We have had about 30 foster dogs in our care throughout that time. Due to our frequent travel schedule, we have been unable to commit to adopting a dog of our own right now, so we love to squeeze in time with dogs when we are home. My kids love meeting and caring for new dogs! I work from home during the week, so am able to attend to the dogs in our care during the day. Another bonus is that we don’t have a resident dog, so your dog or dogs in our care will get our full attention. We have a fenced in backyard with a 6ft privacy fence. Lots of space to play fetch! I work from home during the day, so dogs in our care would rarely be left home during the day and usually only short stints in the evening or weekends. We love to take walks with dogs in our care and play in the backyard. We have a 6ft privacy fence in the backyard and multiple crate sizes and gates if needed. We do not have any resident pets and would discuss with the pet owners before taking on more than one pet at a time.

About: Hey there, I am Mackenzie. I currently have a tiny human who is two and recently adopted Asha who is a little mix of everything. My first fur baby crossed the rainbow bridge in November 2024. He was a Corgi that I got as a pup. I had two other dogs, a lab mix and a border collie mix, prior to getting my corgi and I thought I was prepared to take on another fur baby. Needless to say I wasn't as well prepared for the sass and large amount of dog hair that came with him as I thought I was, but with research and lots of training we had became a good little family with the two of us. My daughter and I recently adopted Asha from the rescue network. She has been such a good dog for us and came with lots of new skills to learn as she is so much more different then my corgi was. We go for lots of water and play time along with playing with her tiny human now too! My child loves to play with all the fur babies and will love them and offer treats and play. I am looking forward to helping you with your fur babies needs and ease your mind when you are away from them knowing they are in good hands. I am currently enrolled in college and working a part time job. My daughter goes to daycare during the day so I am available for drop in visits and nights and weekends to love on our fur babies while you are away! I always make sure they have all the comforts they need and well take care of so they hopefully aren’t missing you and home to much! I also check to make sure they haven’t gotten into anything they shouldn’t have while you are away!

About: Growing up, i've always cared for my family dogs and now my fiancé' and I have three of our own! We are the proud parents of two golden retreivers and one cavalier king Charles spaniel.

My full-time job allows me to work from home, so I have a great deal of flexibility to give your pet the attention it deserves. I have a fenced in backyard for your pet to run around and burn off some of that energy ... and have two friendly golden retrievers who love to play!
