About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve loved working with them in all kinds of capacities since I was a child, and for more than 16 years, I’ve had the privilege of doing so professionally. Over the years, I’ve trained and cared for dogs of all personalities and backgrounds, including working dogs, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual. I’m a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator and am certified in Canine CPR and First Aid through the American Red Cross. I recertify annually so I can stay current with the latest first-aid practices, and I’m also comfortable administering oral medications when needed. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care as an individual and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re here. Before your pup comes to stay, I’ll have you fill out a little information form about them. It’s not meant to feel like paperwork for paperwork’s sake—it simply helps me get to know your dog before they arrive. Their routines, quirks, favorite things, and anything else that helps me make them feel at home are all helpful to know. I don’t have a breed preference and have experience with everything from easygoing family companions to high-drive working dogs. Whether your pup is happiest curled up on the couch or ready to spend the day exploring, I’m happy to accommodate their personality and your preferences. And yes, your dog is absolutely welcome on our couch! ❤️ Our home is their home while they’re here, and we want them to feel comfortable and included. At the same time, I’m always happy to follow whatever arrangements work best for your family. No matter what their stay looks like, your pup can count on plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and interaction. My goal is for them to head home happy, tired, and already looking forward to their next visit! I wake up and start the day off with morning let out. After each group has been let we come back in for feeding. Morning feedings normally allow for 30-45 minutes before letting out again for a potty break. They are brought back in, crated, and pups are rotated out for play inside throughout the day. I let out every 2-4 hours through the day or more if needed. I do have the option to add on trail walks for those who have social canines who are good with other dogs and people (I will not be introducing them to others but it is a requirement to the trail). In the evening we normally do the last feeding at 7 pm followed by yard play and starting to settle in. Last potty break is at 10 pm. Note: Although I am at home full time I do on occasion leave our home to run errands. Your dog can be left alone for up to 4 hours (max). If this is ever the case your pup will always be crated and secure. For your pup's safety They are never given free rein while unsupervised. I take the safety of your furry companion very seriously. Canines are let out for potty breaks every 2-4 hours (or as needed, if required more frequently). I have a fenced-in yard so your pup will be safe during potty breaks. I do not allow companions from other families to play with each other. This is a safety measure. Your pup can be under a lot of stress when you're gone and I want to make their stay as smooth and relaxing as possible. This doesn't mean I will not be playing with your pup ourselves! I love playing fetch, puzzle games, and even tug with them. I do allow for several outings in the house throughout the day so they can get plenty of one-on-one attention inside as well as extra pets. I have 5 acres that are attached to the national preserve. If your furry companion is social and enjoys walks, I have several trails I am happy to take them on upon request (weather permitting). All outings are on leash only.

About: I worked as a kennel technician at a boarding/daycare facility for over a year so I have seen firsthand how stressful those environments can be despite how social you think your dog might be with others. Dogs have always been one of my special interests since I was very little, I have plenty of experience taking care of senior dogs and puppies, and I am comfortable taking care of any breed/temperament. I have no problem if you spam me for pictures of your pup and I love sending constant updates and pics! I know how stressful it can be not to have your dog in your own care so no request is too small. I am a full-time college student studying environment and zoology, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! I have full class schedule throughout the week and it changes per semester, don’t let that stop you from reaching out! I will take a look at any request and see if I can make them work. The more specific you are the better. If I have even the tiniest question I will not hesitate to reach out, I want your dog to be as close to there typical environment/schedule as possible so they are comfortable. Saftey is the big priority for me when caring for your pup, your dog will never be put in an unsafe situation by me. I am comfortable with emergency aid if necessary and I have transportation if your dog needs to be taken to a veterinarian.

“So nice and followed all directions like we asked! Definitely will continue hiring her for further potty breaks for the doggies!”

About: I grew up in a household with dogs. I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 19. I specialize in smaller breed dogs and have worked with Senior dogs. I take the time to get to know them and for them to get to know me. I want them to feel comfortable and safe. I am currently working part time from home. So, I will have plenty of time to play with your pups, spoil them and love on them. Will host your fur baby in my home Monday through Friday with drop off between 7-8am. with pick up as late at 5:30pm. I have a large fenced in yard with almost a half-acre of space. I have four fur babies of my own looking for some new friends. They are very friendly; one is a senior dog he sleeps most of the time. Play time both inside and outside. When inside dogs are allowed to roam anywhere in the house with the exception of the bedrooms. I keep a very clean, tidy home that is free from harsh chemicals. All products used in my home are not only safe for humans but for pets too. Outside is kept up as well. mowing once a week in the summer. dog waste clean-up several times per week. Dogs have full access to all areas outdoors in the fenced in yard and will never be left unattended while outside. During the summer we have a few splash pads that the dogs use to stay cool. And no matter the time of year water is always plentiful. All of my pups are fully vaccinated and update with shots & flea and tick medication.

About: I am a self-professed animal lover and my care for animals started with our family dog, Kip, when I was just 8 years old. Since then I have cared for and walked neighbors, friends, family and colleagues pets. I love being outside and will ensure your pets are well looked after, walked and treated as one of the family. My schedule is currently very flexible so if you need care last minute please do get in contact. I have my own transport so can make my way to you swiftly. I typically work most weekdays and weekends if scheduled in advance (if appropriate). Simply, I will do what ever is necessary to make sure your pets is happy and well looked after. Whilst I do not offer overnight home boarding (I have two elderly hounds), should they ever need to come to my home I have a fenced in back yard. I am happy to abide by crate training if required and always have toys, a bed and training treats on hand, just in case. I ALWAYS bring water on my walks and plan my days to ensure we are not walking in the heat of the day. I am happy to walk early in the morning and later at night. I have used cool coats before so I am also happy to add this to my routine. I never try and rush a pet. Whether it is a nervous cat or young pup, I take my time, not jumping straight in. I try not to let them off the leash immediately so we can build trust and I do not rush them to be my friend.

About: I've been caring for dogs for 6 years, my own dog is a Chorkie (Chihuahua/Yorkie mix), who I've had since he was a puppy. I also have experience caring for an American Bulldog, giving me experience with both large and small breeds. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and keeping dogs company. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll treat your pet with the same care I give my own. I currently am a college student as well as working part time in the mornings. I am available any time after 11:30 AM on weekdays & weekends except for Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am available in the morning/early morning on Wednesdays and Thursdays. When caring for your pet, I’ll treat both your pet and your space with respect. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet supervised and safe, and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated throughout my visit.

About: I’ve raised 2 dogs of my own since they were puppies and one is now a senior. I have received many compliments of being the best dog mom but I am also a very attentive and responsible pet sitter. I have taken care of cats and dogs alike and I truly love and care for them like they are my own. I have plenty of time to care for your pets during the day or evening. I am more of a morning person for sure but I am very flexible. I have a fenced in front and back yard which makes it easy to let dogs outside. I am also very active so walking or running is no problem.

“Cayli is great! She came over a couple times for a visit so my skittish pup could warm up to her before walking her. That helped my pup tremendously. She does great updates and I hope to have her walk my pups again.”

Joy C.

About: I’m a big dog and cat lover. I have owned and taken care of my own pets for at least the last 6+ years. I take pride in a job well done. I have been working for a vet for the last few weeks and have picked up a few key thing to look for if your animal is sick or having problems. I am home most of the time which gives me great opportunity to focus on your fur babies. When you leave your pet in my care it will be as if you never left. I will give them the undivided attention they need to keep them calm and happy. I love all animals and look forward to taking care of your fur babies.

“Lori was a pleasure to work with. Mollie fell in love with her and her affectionate care during their walks. I would not hesitate to ask for her assistance in the future when and if needed. I highly recommend Lori for anyone who needs their pet looked after or walked or for any other service she offers. She's a Five Star for your Furbabies!”
