About: I’m a college graduate with a degree in Anthrozoology, which focuses on the relationship between humans and animals. Currently, I work as a stall cleaner at an equestrian center and part-time for another dog-sitting company called Harveys Homestead Keepers. Over the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of working hands-on with various animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, birds, and amphibians, through my college program.Throughout my life, I’ve been a loving owner of both dogs and cats. I am also currently owner of a dog named Lydia and she loves other dogs and cats. I’m passionate about providing love and care to pets, and I’m eager to offer my services to your furry companions. Since I’m currently working part-time, I have ample time to accommodate drop-in visits, daily dog walks, house sitting, and other pet care needs. I’m also comfortable caring for pets in your home.

About: I worked at a vet clinic for over a year which allowed me to learn dogs behavior well. I have lived with and taken care of dogs my whole life. I also walk dogs for a humane society. I am currently going to school for animal care. I am currently working a part time job and walking dogs for a Humane society. I walk the dogs at the humane society Tuesday-Thursday 6:30-9:30am.

About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician and have experience in pet sitting and the veterinary field for the past 20 years. I owned a pet sitting business for 5 years (2008 - 2012) and experience in general practice, emergency, specialty, and shelter medicine. Having a medical background allows me to pick up on medical issues and emergencies in a timely fashion, allowing for treatment if necessary. I am also able to administer medications as needed. I treat others' dogs the same way I treat my own pets and keep daily routines as close to their normal as much as possible. I work full time at a clinic and part time at the local humane society. I am available limited days during the week for walks and drop in services. Please see the calendar for up to date availability!

About: You’re off to enjoy your vacation, let your pet enjoy one of their own while you’re away! We are Alexis & Jess! Jess is a professional groomer with nearly 10 years experience grooming dogs of all shapes and sizes. Interested in getting your dog a spa day while they're here? She does in home grooming and does an excellent job! References available upon request. Alexis is an exhibitor and breeder of AKC American Akitas with 8 years of experience raising and showing dogs across the southeast. Both Alexis & Jess have training experience under their belts and have worked in dog rescue, shaping behavior and temperaments of dogs of many breeds and sizes. In our home, your dog will be treated as one of our own. We live on a quiet 1. 8 acre property with an acre of that securely fenced with a 6 foot privacy fence. We do have resident dogs, but they will not have access to nor come in contact with your pet staying with us! Given the breeds we own and our background in rescue and rehab, we are not strangers to powerhouse breeds, tougher temperaments or special needs dogs who need some time to adjust to new people or surroundings. Given our opposite work schedules, one of us is home almost all the time, so your dog will be in our company for most of his/her stay. Dogs are our world. We know how important they are in the lives of those who have them. Speaking from experience, we understand how nerve wracking and difficult it can be trusting someone enough to leave your dogs with them. It's something we struggled with for a long time, finding the right person to care for our own dogs in our absence.. we were fortunate enough to find a rockstar - so we hope that we can be that person for someone else!
