“Great work , reliable , and took on a very energetic dog. Goes well beyond the time and effort. Wouldn't hesitate to book again and refer. Looking forward to retaining services again in the near future.”


“David did an excellent job with Abby. She was happy when we got home and from the pictures David sent after each visit she looked quite content. I knew David was going to be a hit when Abby came right up to him at the first meeting, she doesn't like anyone. I am definitely hiring David again when we do our 32 day cruise in April.”


“My dogs and I just love Mary. She communicates well, reiterates instructions to demonstrate understanding, is punctual and kind. She covered the big guy with his blanket, gave him his favorite toy, and even a smooch on his head. He's in love. She gave my little female attention and even covered her up. I look forward to booking with Mary again!!”


About: I grew up working on my family's farm feeding and taking care of all animals and the farm work dogs and barn cats. I constantly was helping animals in need and begging my mom to volunteer at animal shelters I feed all my neighborhood strays and make sure they are healthy. I also recently took in kittens off of Craigslist and was able to rehome them when they were stuck living out in the heat. I have always stopped what I was doing to help animals in need or in general so it just seems right to continue to do that here I will always follow all instructions left for me and would care for any animal as if they were my own, and make sure to research all animals in the home and listen to any advice provided. Animals are naturally drawn to me, and I will be as nurturing and as caring as I have always been

“Loved her help with my pup! She would drop in to check on him while I was at work and send me pics. Rumple seemed to really like her ? She was very professional and communicated well. I would definitely work with her again!”


“My babies were well taken care of. Marin sent me pictures with each visit and I can tell by the pictures that my my dogs were warming up to her and liked her since they were sitting in her lap. I will seriously consider booking Marin again for our future needs.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and reptiles since I was 11. Friends, neighbors and family have always relied on me to take care of their fur babies whether it’s feeding them, walking, bathing, potty breaks or just playing with them. I do in home visits and stays, night stays, potty breaks and walkings all days of the week. I can welcome your pet into my house or come to you! I always have eyes on your pet making sure they are safe and not getting into things they shouldn’t. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: I've had 8+ family dogs ranging from small Chihuahuas to large Labrador Retrievers. I am a very patient person, and I understand how patient you need to be with dogs. I am a loving and caring person who will truly bond with and satisfy all your dogs needs. If your dog wants to go running, I'm right there by his side the whole way! I want to create an experience for the dog that will not only benefit him/her but also benefit you. I'm currently self employed, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekdays, weekends, & most holidays! I have a spacious fenced yard, and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed or accommodate to any needs.

About: I've lived with animals all my life. I have the most experience with dogs. When I was growing up, my family had no less than 4 dogs at a time. I have experience handling large and small dogs. Moderate experience with puppies. Some experience with cats and kittens. I have experience with bully breeds as well and comfortable handling them. I love animals and know that they deserve all the time and attention in the world. I know that sometimes life gets in the way of that. I'm here to love on your animals, not to judge your lifestyle. Additional services may be available after a brief trial period with your pet depending on circumstances. I work from home Monday to Friday during the day with options to step away as needed. Evenings and weekends usually free to care for your babies. I have 3 senior dogs- a great Dane, a Mastiff, and a border Collie mix. My mother-in-law has a Chihuahua mix that also loves with us. They love getting out for the occasional car ride for a pup cup or trip to the store for new toys. I'm also currently fostering a 6 month old pup that had been hit by a car last December and left on the side of the road. While she has healed physically, we're working on socializing and gaining her trust. I don't currently offer petsitting in my home but may be open to it after getting to know a client and their furbabies and deciding if that would be a good fit for everyone.

About: I grew up always having multiple dogs in the house; every size and multiple different breeds from a little Chihuahua to a large Mastiff. I love to stay active and I love nature; going on walks with furry friends is one of my favorite hobbies! I also enjoy teaching pets new tricks and creating that bond with them and their owner. I have done my own nannying for children, as well as their pets for a few years now and I love it. I look forward to meeting you, your family and your fur babies! I currently own my own business and work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule. I am available to discuss the best schedule for you and your animals! I will make sure, abiding by instructions, to feed, water and play with all animals in the home. I can also take dogs for walks.

“Chyann Wood has been an excellent dog sitter for me in the past. She has cared for my four (4) dogs while I have been out of town and they absolutely adore her. She is attentive to their needs and is able to provide the continuous care they demand. I would highly recommend Chyann to help care for your pet(s).”
