About: In 2019, I started my journey foster raising puppies for PAWS with a Cause, an organization that custom trains service dogs. I raised 4 PAWS dogs, keeping them from 8 weeks to a year old. My first 2 actually became certified service dogs! In between fostering, I also raised 2 keeper puppies of my own. I have a 4 year old lab and a 1 year old golden with a chocolate lab puppy joining the family this summer. Safe to say I'm addicted. I work remotely which gives me the flexibility to take my dogs out as they need. I go into the office on Tuesdays for a full day, however, I am able to take a long lunch if needed to take dogs out. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs at home. I have crate-trained dogs. I have taken my own babies to countless dog training classes, picking up a lot of knowledge of dog behavior.
About: I have extensive volunteer experience at animal control, 4 years as an animal care technician, and have always had pets of my own. No dog is too much to handle. High energy? Great, let's run. Old timer? That's okay, we can hang out at home. Little puppy? No worries, I can practice training basic commands. I have managed to harmoniously share my life with 3 dogs, 4 cats, bunnies and chinchillas. I would be glad to spread that love to your furry family. No two dogs or cats are alike, so why provide cookie-cutter care? With me, your dog will be provided one of a kind exceptional care. On top of it all, I can take some pretty cute pictures at no additional cost. No worries if your pet is independent or prefers a quiet environment, we are able to separate the house into different wings. I will be starting a new job in July where I will be in office from 7 am - 3:30 pm, my husband is home during the day to accommodate potty breaks and has the dogs sleep with him instead of being crated. If you're still interested in boarding at my home please feel free to send me a message! I will never put your pet in a situation they are not comfortable with and promise to provide what they need for their safety whether it's personal space, a gated off room, time in a crate or social play time with my owns dogs

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for animals since I was 8, starting with my own family pets. I also volunteered at a local dog shelter, where I learned how to work with dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I’ve raised and trained my own puppy, teaching them basic tricks and commands with lots of patience and love. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, or just some company while you're away, I’ll treat them like family. I’m dependable, gentle, and passionate about making pets feel safe and happy. Currently I am student at MSU but staying in the area for the summer. I miss my dogs dearly while I’m away from home and hope to work with dogs this summer. I also am working part-time (Friday-Sunday). Every dog has unique needs, and I’m committed to understanding and meeting them as best as possible. I’ll tailor care to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy.
“Christine was very accommodating and went the extra mile for us. Would definitely use her again!”
About: My name is Patience and I would love to care for your dog! I have had personal pets for over 10 years and have been fostering rescue dogs for about 2 years. My husband and I have a large home and several friendly personal dogs. We have a privacy fence for potty time and plenty of space to separate dogs should that be necessary. We love large breed dogs, especially bully breeds, but also have experience with small and toy breeds. I work from home during the day so your pup would be able to spend the day playing. We do crate during meal time and when we are not home, which is never for more than a few hours. We would love to care for your pup in a safe and clean environment so that you can enjoy your vacation worry free!
