About: I have been a dog lover for many years! I used to have a farm dog growing up & I now have a dog of my own, Bear, who is a border collie/ golden retriever mix! I always make sure fresh water is readily available, I have extra food/ water bowls as well. I like to take 2-4 mile walks throughout the day. I bring a portable water dish and treats. I do regularly brush my dog, I would be happy to do the same with your puppers! I will interact with your puppers by a tug of war game, fetch, and a mental stimulation puzzle toy! I have administered oral medications before as well! I am home most of the day, occasionally I will leave for a couple hours to run errands or hang out with friends. My weekends are usually always open. I do not have a fenced in back yard, so my dog, Bear, is always on a leash, he has a harness on walks. My experience with my own dog is he is hyper and active, I try my best to keep up with his energy level!

About: I grew up on a farm, so I have been around all kinds of animals. I absolutely love them and appreciate all they offer. I have also done some pet sitting for neighbors and co-workers. I have raised and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, so I understand what it takes to ensure they feel loved. I will do everything in my power to make sure your animals are well cared for and cherished. I am a full time student but class is over after 2:30 so anytime in the afternoons works best for me. Also anytime during weekends I can be available. Just tell me a time and I will do what’s necessary to fit it in my schedule. I’m willing to do just about anything. I’m comfortable with staying in your home if that’s necessary. I will give them lots of love and attention. Making sure all their needs are met.

About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals of all kinds—chickens, ponies, cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, lizards—you name it, I’ve probably cared for it! That experience gave me a natural comfort and confidence with animals from a young age, and it taught me how to read their behavior, understand their needs, and treat them with gentleness and respect. I’ve looked after everything from snuggly lap cats to high-energy dogs who need lots of play and exercise. I enjoy taking active dogs to parks and getting them the movement they need, while also knowing how to slow things down for older pets or animals who need extra care. I’ve also cared for pets who were mildly sick or healing, giving them special attention, gentle handling, and keeping a close eye on their needs. What sets me apart is my calm, steady presence and my ability to adjust to each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, affectionate, or a little quirky—I meet them where they’re at and care for them like they’re my own. Right now, I’m in a season of life where I’m home full-time and have plenty of availability to care for pets. I love being around animals, and with my flexible schedule, I can give them the time, attention, and consistency they need throughout the day. If this turns into something steady, I’d love to make pet care my full-time focus! For now, my days are wide open, and I’m excited to spend them keeping your pets happy, safe, and loved. When caring for pets in my home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. For in-home boarding, I’m currently only able to host quiet pets due to both my living situation and the peaceful nature of our neighborhood. This includes animals like cats, hamsters, reptiles, and even spiders like tarantulas — all of which tend to be low-noise and easygoing. I share my home with my spouse, who is a light sleeper and highly sensitive to sound, so it’s important that any pets I host are calm and relatively quiet. While I generally don’t board dogs at this time, I may make exceptions for certain small, quiet breeds — such as older Shih Tzus — who are known for their gentle, quiet temperament and cuddly nature. Please note that other small breeds like dachshunds or beagles, which tend to be more vocal, unfortunately wouldn’t be a good fit for our environment. Of course, I understand that every animal has its own personality, so if you believe your pet is especially calm, feel free to reach out and we can discuss! I live near a walking path that’s perfect for regular walks and potty breaks. I’m happy to provide exercise and fresh air as part of their daily routine. I always follow the pet’s normal routine as much as possible, and I’ll communicate closely with you to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for in my home or yours.

Riley deeply cares for her dog and pets around her. I can confidently say she is one of the most loving and caring owners I know. Riley would be the first person I go to if I need a sitter for my new puppy. She goes above and beyond to make sure her dog Bear has the best life possible and she would do the same for yours!!

I am very happy to recommend Nela for a position as a pet sitter and dog walker. Nela is caring, responsible, and has a genuine love for animals that shows in how she treats every pet like family. She always makes sure animals feel safe, happy, and well taken care of, whether she’s playing with them, taking them for walks, or simply giving them extra love and attention. Anyone who trusts Nela with their pets can feel confident they’re in great hands.
