About: I have a 4. year old dog, Kane who doesn’t know a stranger. Human or dog alike. I spent a year assisting in the training of K9, schutzhund, and over all protection/ obedience. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sorts and absolutely love them. I spent a lot of time volunteering at the local animal shelters in Kansas City, where I am originally from, so I am good with dogs behaviors and what to do and not to do’s. I can take your dog on a run, or pop in and give him his food and play for a bit. Or even stay over night if your pup is uncomfortable in new surroundings and needs to be in his home space! I’d love to care for your dog! I work hybrid and when I am in the office I don’t have issues stepping out to take walks and when I’m working from home I take several breaks to go on walks or the park. I stay super active and make sure my dog and any dog I care for has lots of enrichment and stimulation! I make sure that I’m always in a safe environment and make the dogs feel comfortable.

About: For the last 4 years my husband and I have had 4 dogs. He often travels, so I am usually caring for them alone. We have a husky, 2 pit-husky mixes, and a Belgium shepherd. I trained the Belgium shepherd from puppy age, and she’s now the sweetest and best guard dog out there! Our dogs can be stubborn at times, and I’ve even had to break up a couple of dog fights. I am able to handle difficult situations if your dog is a little tougher or not as friendly. I have always loved animals, especially dogs because of their loyalty and cuteness. From small dogs to large- I can care for them however you need and will treat them like they’re my own! I recently quit my job because we moved, so I have all the free time in the world! I can be flexible and stay with your pet to play longer if you need. Since we currently have 4 dogs we are not taking any pets to stay with us. However, we have a barn and hope to be able to house dogs there some day!

About: I grew up helping care for dogs on our family farm since I was a child. We had hunting dogs who I provided for in our barns outside and loving, coach potato dogs inside as well. In college I worked at a pet store where I cared for puppies and dogs of all ages. I learned knowledge of many breeds and how to administer medications. Volunteering at the local dog shelter on weekends kept me busy as well. I recently lost my senior dog to cancer earlier this year and have been missing the companion lifestyle! I work fully remote M-F and can do so from any household. My schedule is flexible where I can stop by on a whim if needed. My weekends are always open for house sitting or animal walking needs! I am well versed in animal care. Ranging from in home/personal yard, neighborhood walks alone, dog parks with others, etc. Your comfort ability level is my preference!
