About: I have a lot of experience with dogs and only a few with cats but i love both and i am very excited to spend some time with your pets! Available all business days before 10am and after 2:30! If you have something outside of that, let me know and I can try and figure something out! I typically can’t care for pets in my home because I dorm at Eastern University, but in your home, my priority would be the animals well being and also your homes cleanliness.
About: I take care of my neighbors dogs, friends cats, my best friends bring their dogs over and we all walk together. All of our animals were rescued. I am not working over the summer so I am very flexible during the day to help take care of animals when needed/ walking/ letting them out to use the bathroom. I walk the dogs on leashes, I only let them out when there is a fenced in area. I have a fenced in yard at home, that my dog goes out and plays in.
About: My husband and I grew up with dogs and have loved and cared for many over the years including our first doggy child, Molly. She has since crossed the rainbow bridge and although we’re not quite ready yet for a new dog, we’re happy to share our built up puppy love to provide a safe and loving environment while you’re away. At our home, all dogs become part of our family and I will reinforce any behaviors you maintain in your own home. But if your pet is used to couch cuddles they’ll get the same thing here! They’ll have all of the love and comforts of home that cannot be matched by any traditional boarding place, while receiving personal attention as they’re in space where they’ll be the only dog. It’s a change for your dog to go from one home to a new one. However, I find that having a home with no personal pets and no other boarders helps to ease the transition and get them acclimated quickly. I work from home full time so your pet would have nearly 24/7 care. It makes me so happy to be able to spend my workday with a fuzzy friend! You’d be aware of all times where I wouldn’t be home but this typically does not exceed 2 hours. When the weather is nice, the family and I try to be out as much as possible and will always bring your dog along for the fun! I enjoy getting out for walks several times a day to stretch out my legs after extensive periods behind a desk. If your dog is up for it, then I’m happy to get to bring them on my walks! I have a large, fenced yard with a designated “potty” area. There are no other pets in the home so even the most anti social of pups are welcomed here. Since I work from home, I’m able to accommodate almost any feeding, medication or bathroom schedule and provide lots of cuddles! I care about the safety and wellness of your pet above all else and have been certified in pet CPR and first aid. If your dog will be joining us in the car, I have a harness for their safety while traveling.
“Jaclyn is wonderful! Sadie loves walking with her, she's very reliable and you can tell how much she truly loves dogs! :)”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple pets since I was little. My dog has been mostly only cared for by me for nine years and I’m always offering to help take care of my mom’s cats. I love playing with my friend’s pets too and making sure those animals can trust me. I also help take care of my best friend’s horses by feeding and grooming them! I have a lot of free time during the summer before going back to school and I like to jog and stay active so I’m free most of the week I have a large fenced in yard, and plenty of space for pups to run around. I love playing with pets but I’m very willing to leave them alone if that’s what the pet needs.
“Courtney was FANTASTIC!!! We could not be more pleased. And our dog adored her. She was extremely responsible and our dog AND house were in good hands while we were gone. Communication with her was great, along with photos of our dog being walked. She was very patient and an excellent fit. We will definitely use her again.”

My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and totally loved while you’re away!
“I hit the jackpot when I booked Sarah. She is an absolute delight- so accommodating and caring. My dog took to her immediately. (I’m almost hesitant to rave too much about her because I selfishly want to keep her all to myself.) Sarah came to me after I had double knee replacement surgery, and naturally I was so worried about how I would care for my dog. I didn’t want to put him in a kennel, so she literally rescued both of us. Do not hesitate to book Sarah for any/all of your pet’s needs. She’s a gem!”
About: I have cared for just about every type of dog and cat! I am extremely passionate about the well being and comfort of all animals! I am currently working part time so I have just about all the time in the world to care for your pets! If you need me just let me know and I’ll be happy to be there!

About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs all my life and have volunteered at dog shelters walking and caring for dogs for the past 5 years. To me there is nothing better than making a dog happy and fulfilled whether that’s throwing a ball in the yard, walking them, or just giving them lots of pets. I believe each dog is special and should be treated with kindness and compassion. I work full time in a remote job. I’m available during the weekdays and weekends to help with your pups needs and care. Can’t wait to help you and your pup! 🐾 I have experience with feeding schedules, walking, and crating schedules from puppies to senior dogs. I can follow owners instructions for feeding and crating.
