“Duke LOVES his time with Miss Lindsay! Her and her husband are so precious & take the best care of him. Having your dog with them is like an extension of home for your fur baby - rather than taking them to an impersonal boarding place.”
“Very nice and willing to be flexible. I was in town for work and Rhys stayed every day for doggie day care. He was happy and excited to go back each day. I would use Wendy again”
About: Hi! I’m a local woman with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I approach every animal with deep love, respect, & a strong sense of responsibility—safety and comfort are always my priorities. I’m currently studying psychology through online classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and an attentive, thoughtful approach to pet care. One of my favorite things to do is get outside, so if your dog loves adventure, I’d be happy to take them on trail runs or hikes with me! I always approach each pet with gentleness, patience, and respect. Whether it’s a trail run with an energetic pup or a quiet visit with a shy cat, I tailor my care to meet their needs. I’m currently taking online psychology classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and a thoughtful, attentive approach to pet care. Safety, trust, and love are at the heart of everything I do. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize their safety and comfort above all. I create a calm, secure environment that’s free from hazards (no loose cords, toxic plants, or access to unsafe areas). I make sure each pet has their own space to decompress, especially for cats or anxious dogs. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, medication, and rest, and I keep in close communication with you throughout their stay—updates, photos, anything that gives you peace of mind. I never leave dogs unattended outside, and I make sure doors, gates, and windows are always secure. I also do slow, supervised introductions if there are other animals in the home (or none at all if your pet needs solo time). My goal is to make every pet feel safe, seen, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.
About: I've taken care of many foster pets from puppies to seniors and have always had 2 or more dogs in my household.

I'm currently not working so I am available for your pup anytime! I'm dedicated to giving them the best care that I can and often! I have a sweet rescue husky of my own who loves to meet new friends. Your pup will enjoy running around on our 3 acres or even a trip to the park! If your pup prefers walks I live in a large suburb with many great routes!

“Owen was so great with our high energy, large breed dog. She was worn out and happy when we picked her up. I didn’t have to worry all day about her, and got some pictures of her during the stay. He has a great place perfect for dogs! Definitely recommend Owen for your fur babies! (He also gave her a bath, which was super appreciated!)”

About: I’ve spent my whole life caring for large varieties of animals, from cats and dogs to reptiles and guinea pigs, and farm animals too! I’m no specialist, but I’ve got more pets than you can count on your fingers and being there for them is my greatest joy in life! I do work-trade at a goat farm near Sunday Creek and my partner works part-time locally. I spend most of my time with pets or livestock! I am always excited to meet new dogs and cats, and would love to get to know them! When sitting in your home, I am sure to remember every little detail from meet-n-greets so that I can provide the ideal care your baby needs. I am open to and probably at the least a little bit experienced with your pets quirky must-haves, such as crating, food rituals, needing high or low energy, etc. I am always happy to spend time outdoors with dogs, and cats as well if they are harnessed and comfortable! I’ve never met a cat or dog I haven’t instantly fallen in love with!!
