About: I’ve taken care of my dogs since I was old enough to. Over the course of my life I have had many cats and dogs and have always been the one responsible for them. My work schedule has changed, but I’m still available after noon on Sundays. I’m also free in the mornings of Monday and Friday. Additionally, I’m available all day Tuesdays and Saturdays, and I can also help you out from 2-3:30 on Wednesday and until 5 on Thursday. Let me know what works best for you! My big dogs have a huge backyard where they can run and chill while my little dog stays inside most of the time. I feed them based on their needs - the big dogs get more than the small dog, and the small dog only eats once a day. I also play fetch with one of my big dogs while the other tries to attack him when he comes back to me. For clients, I’d bring toys to play with them, go on long walks, and feed them when needed.

About: My name is Sara! I'm a dog enthusiast with 20 years experience training, exercising, and caring for dogs. I graduated from Penn Foster Career School's Dog Training Program. I love to help people fulfill their dogs needs! I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I work with dogs full time so I'm able to fulfill their daily needs with ease. We walk every day but also go on adventures to the park and beach. I'm Pet CPR and First Aid Trained. I have a completely fenced yard, but dogs are supervised at all times. I have experience with fearful dog safety. Dogs are crated or tethered while driving. Someone is almost always home with the dogs. I also have a Furbo video camera to monitor dogs if I do need to leave for a short time. ***Due to having 2-3 dogs staying with me at times, I only offer meet & greets, pick up, and drop off from my clients homes. I find this keeps the excitement and stress level down for all dogs staying. It's also more convenient for you and me. If you want to see the accommodations, I can do a video tour with you.***
About: I have been taking care of animals including dog, cats etc. I have hands on experience with puppy training basics, including crate training, housebreaking, and leash guidance, as well as with senior dogs who require patience, mobility support, and medication administration. I take pride in maintaining a structured, safe, and comfortable environment tailored to each dog’s individual needs. Whether it’s reinforcing positive behaviors, providing consistent routines, or offering calm reassurance, I approach every pup with professionalism and genuine care. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their dog is not only safe, but also receiving attentive, compassionate, and high quality care in their absence. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I am available full time to care for dogs. This allows me to provide consistent attention, regular walks, timely feedings, and plenty of playtime throughout the day. Having the flexibility to focus solely on pet care ensures that each dog in my care receives the structure, companionship, and supervision they need to feel safe and comfortable. I primarily care for pets in their own home, where they are most comfortable and can stay on their regular routine. This allows me to provide consistent care feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and any special instructions without disrupting their environment. I provide a safe, comfortable, and structured home environment for dogs while their owners are away. Each guest receives personalized care based on their individual needs and routines, ensuring a smooth and stress-free stay. My home is clean, secure, and designed to make pets feel relaxed and welcome. Daily exercise, playtime, and supervision are included, along with regular updates for peace of mind. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a calm space, I offer attentive care and a reliable, professional experience you can trust. No matter the setting, my priority is to ensure each pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while their owner is away.
About: As the oldest of 9 kids and having had pets my entire life, I’m equipped to handle anything from dogs, to cats, to farm animals. I love all animals, but cats are my spirit animal! I move around a lot and have chosen not to have a pet for this reason. So I love to pet sit and get my fix :) At this time as I don’t own a dog, however I regularly babysit my brother's two German Shepards, two Dachshunds and Maine Coon cat. I also have experience farm sitting. I am a freelance photographer and a jack of all trades. I love animals and can be very flexible in helping take care of your fur baby as I mostly work weekends. I am flexible if you need day of services during the week, feel free to message me. Previous family pets always tended to fall under my care as the oldest child. I am comfortable with administering baths if needed, meds, shots, etc. It’s also important to me to have a clean home, living with indoor animals most of my life I am especially cautious of this. I don’t mind the fur, smells, etc but I don’t expect my guests to endure it. That being said odors, messes and accidents do not bother me but while in your home I do my best to maintain them. I am very patient with animals who are still working on their training and manners :)
