About: Head out of town with the confidence that you furry one will enjoy excellent care. Our golden doodle loves to welcome guests. And our teenage son is here to take your dog on walks (we’re just off the Goshen millrace), play fetch in our back yard, and generally lavish attention on them. We offer seasonal times mostly. This is focused around times when our son is off school in order to give constant care. The adults also have flexible work schedules ensuring plenty of support for the rhythms of pet care. We keep a tidy home where your pet can relax and play. We make every effort to maintain the rhythms (exercise, feeding, etc) that your pet is accustomed to.
About: Within the past couple years I started my own small business in pet transportation. I received licensing from the USDA and am knowledgeable in best practices in caring for pets while their families are away. I truly believe that our pets are our family and will aim to make your pets feel loved and well-cared for while you’re away. Beyond my own pets, transporting gave me experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I do have references to attest for the high standard of care I will provide. I am no longer transporting pets due to being away from my family (pets and humans) for extended periods of time. Recently I have become a stay at home mom, but really miss all the extra animals I got to love on. My availability is pretty flexible throughout the week now and I’m excited to meet your furry family members! I am available to care for your pet in your home or through walking. I will accept puppies/young dogs for boarding and doggy daycare in my home as I have my own large dogs, who are friendly, but intimidated by other large dogs. This can include feeding, administering medicine, walking, play time, crating, etc. I will always aim to stick to you and your pet’s schedule. I have a couple of years of experience in a vet office, initially attending college for veterinary medicine.

About: Years of Experience! 🐾 Hi there! My name is Madi, and I’ve spent the last 15+ years doing what I love most: caring for dogs. From growing up in a home filled with happy tails and muddy paws to years of trusted dogsitting and daily walks, dogs have always been a central part of my life. I currently care for two amazing pups of my own—spoiled, loved, and treated just like family—and I bring that same care, attention, and respect to every dog I encounter. Whether your furry friend needs a high-energy jog(within reason, I am not a runner!), a slow sniff-and-stroll, or just a little company while you’re away, I’m here to give them the exercise, stimulation, and affection they deserve. I offer dependable, flexible, and compassionate service you can count on. I’m not just a dog walker—I’m a dog person through and through. Let’s give your dog their new favorite part of the day. 🐶 I am a registered nurse and have decided to do this on my few days off each week, because it’s something I enjoy! Each weeks availability varies with my work schedule so I have opened my books to one time bookings for now. My pets are treated like royalty! Lol, really… I would strive to keep all pets safe, loved, and happy. They get a short life, and my hope is to offer a service that can bring fulfillment to the long days that their owners are at work.
About: With being in the Veterinary field, I hope my career path of being a Registered Veterinary Nurse brings you comfort when caring for your pets. I not only will treat yours like my own, but also will be able to recognize if your furry family member may need to visit the doctor. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16 and truly have such a passion to help animals in every aspect. I work 3.5 days a week and I’m super flexible! I am able to leave during my lunch hour as well to make sure your pets needs/routine is met. With my knowledge and experience I am able to handle your pet in a fear free way. My goal is not to be a stranger but to become friends with your furry loved ones.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child and have always grown up in a very pet friendly household with 2 cats and a dog. My cat I have now is 11 and I’ve had him since he was a kitten and my dog is now 5 who I have also had since she was a puppy. I’ve got experience in dog obedience as well. Friends and family have relied on me to feed, walk, and board their pets in the past. I already take my dog on walks and runs daily and I’m currently very flexible for the next few weeks while on summer vacation as a teacher. I will be able to keep your pet company and give lots of attention in the form of going on walks, throwing the ball, feeding, grooming if necessary, etc. I currently cannot board other pets as I have a cat of my own and don’t want to risk him being stressed or attacked by overly excited dogs!

Lanae K.Star Sitter
“The hardest thing to do is find care or someone trust worthy to take care of our furry friends. Have you ever cancelled your get away plans? Decided to take your furry friend with you and regretted the choice because every day you spent away you were force feeding them cdb or some type of medication to calm them during your trip away from home leaving them lethargic? Or hired someone not really certain if they were the right fit for your furry buddy? If you honestly said yes to any of the above...then you need to call Lanae. I have known and used Lanae over the years and my mini schnauzer absolutely loves her. Lanae loves all types of animals and has been a great provider for care to our mini along with experience in providing great care for others animals with her experience at the vet hospital. Lanae cares about our pet and cares about yours. You won't be sorry!!!”

Roy J.
“There is no one I would want more to entrust my pets with. He has always been kind and loving, not just to his own pets, but to all animals.

I know that with Roy that will not be the case. He will go out of his way to ensure that you and your pets have an exceptional experience.”
