About: I have been taking care of dogs for over 25 years. Since I've retired, I wanted the opportunity to watch dogs on a more regular basis. I love dogs.. They say, a happy wife is a happy life.. In the same vain.. A happy dog is a happy household. My dogs are my family. Any dogs I am entrusted to take care of will be treated as an extension of my family. They would be loved and given free reign of the house. My first priority is the welfare of any dog I am taking care of. While you are away, you will be sent daily updates about your pet. I will follow your instructions as to the care of your dog. Your dog will be well cared for.. My priority is the welfare of your pet. I look forward to hearing from you. I'm retired so my schedule is flexible. Dogs are welcome to stay for a day or any extended period of time. All breeds are welcome. I have a fenced in back yard and care for all dogs as if they were a member of my family. I abide by any specific instructions the owners have.

Absolutely phenomenal! I have just moved from Las Vegas Nevada and I don’t know that many people out here yet. Her warm personality and smile makes you feel at ease. I was already struggling to find someone last minute do to some house work needed but seems like everyone wasn’t too keen on watch a pit mix. No hesitation from her whatsoever and super responsive! Will definitely be back !

About: I own It takes a village animal rescue, though I am taking a 2 year break, I have had 451 dogs come through my rescue in the last 10 years. I can help with house training, and basic puppy skills. I have probably had about 100 plus puppies in the last 10 years. I have a facebook account for the rescue and you can see all that My Volunteers and I have done over the years. Pet care has been a way of life for me for the last 10 years, I own an animal rescue, but am taking a 2 year hiatus, but miss haveing dogs around all day. I am home 90% of the time so I am there to let dogs out who might not be potty trained or sometimes it is just for company, laying on the couch watching TV and getting rubbed. I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to roam. I also have Mr Donovan, 110 pound hound mix that lost his 2 playmates in the last 2 months, so he would love having anotherfriend to hang/ play with.

Liza had a great time with Jen!! Jen is really caring and was really attentive to put Liza at ease, not always a simple task as Liza has separation anxiety. Jen was very responsive, took a bunch of pictures, and sent me lots of updates. I really appreciated it and highly recommend her!

About: I’ve have been a dog owner all throughout my life. I currently have a golden retriever that is three year old named Steve. I know level 1 and level 2 dog training techniques. And enjoy taking dogs for long walks to get their energy out. I live five minutes from my job and can come home if needed and never work weekends. My wife works from home 3 out of 5 week days. I have a large fenced in yard (.75 acres) and a dog friendly golden retriever named Steve. I have an extra crate available if your pet needs crating.

About: We got our first pup in 2011. All 3 dogs we’ve owned have been since they were puppies. We’ve taken care of pups who require shots and pills. We treat pups in our house like family members. My husband and I have off weekends. My husband works from home so dogs get let out frequently. I’m a high school teacher so I also have summers off. We’re happy to follow your routines so they feel at home. I have 2 friendly dogs who love kids & pups. We just ask that your pup is friendly with kids and dogs, and is comfortable being crated for short periods of time, if needed.

Reid was great. Blu didn’t want to seem to leave once it was time to go home. He slept good that night and even slept in the next morning! If you have a needy dog Reid is the sitter for you! Blu just loves human attention and he received lots of attention and play time.

About: As both a dog lover and recently funemployed, I’ll be able to commit 100% of my time to taking care of your furry friend. I’m a previous dog owner of 11+ years as well as an experienced sitter for both puppies and several senior dogs. I do what it takes to make your pup as happy and comfy as possible while you’re away — I’ll treat them like family! Up until recently I’d been working in corporate, and I’m choosing to take a small break in between careers. My previous employers and pet care clients can attest to my attention to detail, my excellent communication skills, and my willingness to do what it takes to get the job done.

Justin & Stephanie have a nice home that's very dog friendly. The back yard is fenced, clean and spacious. Our dog Molly had a great time at day care and we immediately booked her to be boarded over the following weekend. Can't recommend them highly enough!

Amrita was amazing with Cleo. Cleo was calm and enjoyed her time. Amrita sent plenty of pics of Cleo which served to keep me calm so I could enjoy my time away. :-) Amrita also was incredibly responsive both before during and after the booking.
