About: Playing, cuddling and lots of pampering is what your dog will receive during their stay at our home. We are huge animal lovers, and it's all about the pups at our house! We will care for your loved ones like they were our own children so that you can have peace of mind while you are away. Many families have come to know and trust us to take excellent care of their pets. We are completely dependable and can provide many great references. We look forward to meeting you and learning about your dog's special needs. About this sitter: I am passionate about making sure all of your pet's needs are met. I understand that your dog may not understand why they are in a new environment and may miss you, so I make every effort to make them feel loved, pampered and comfortable, so they feel like you sent them on their own special vacation. You can rest assured that your dog will be the focus of my attention while you are away, and I will send lots of pictures, so you can enjoy your vacation. Why I love dog sitting: I have rescued and taken care of all breeds of dogs, big and small. Dogs are our children on four legs. Meet my pet I have one 9-year-old pampered pit bull mix, Karma, who get along with other dogs. She is spayed and UTD on all shots, flea and heartworm medications. About our yard We have a huge 2 acre groomed back yard. However, I will keep your dog on a leash at all times unless you give me permission to let them run around the yard freely while being supervised at all times. I have extensive experience administering medications, nail trimming and bathing. I am experienced and comfortable administering oral medication, topical, injections and eye and ear medications. I am home full time and do not have a job. Your dog will receive my undivided attention. I will let your pup outside to play at least four times a day, and more if needed. If your dog is a senior or a puppy, then their play schedule will be adjusted according to their activity level. I will keep your dog on a leash while playing in our back yard, since the entire five acres is not fenced, unless you specifically tell me that it's okay to take them off the leash to play ball. At your home, I will follow whatever protocol you have in place, whether that be leashed walks or unleashed play in your yard.

I enjoy going on walks and keeping pets happy and entertained. I believe it's very important to know your fur babies will be in great hands when boarding with me. My beloved dog Mario is no longer with me; he lived for 13 wonderful years and was the best dog anyone could ask for. I haven't been able to get another one since then. Watching and caring for other pets makes me happy and brings me joy. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week.

About: I spent most of my childhood at neighbors’ houses helping walk, play with, and care for their pets. I always knew I wanted one of my own, and when I finally got my dog, people constantly complimented his obedience and sweet, playful personality. I’m a dependable, active, and patient pet sitter who treats every animal like my own. I don’t just stop in and leave, but I make sure pets get exercise, attention, and real care. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your animals with someone, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I typically work from home and live near parks, so I look forward to taking your pet(s) on walks, snuggling, and playing with them. I have a fenced in yard, but I always supervise my pets when they are outside. I keep my pets occupied constantly with frozen Kong toys, frozen lick mats, interactive toys, single ingredient treats, single ingredient bully sticks, etc.
About: I’ve had lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats, understanding their behaviors, routines, and needs, and always providing attentive, reliable, and loving care as if they were my own. As of right now, I am open to take care of these sweet animals pretty much anytime. Early mornings to late afternoons would be best, however I can be flexible with nights. My goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I am more than happy to accommodate any special needs/requests you may have.
About: Hi, I’m Kris! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have two years of professional experience working in a busy doggy daycare, where I was responsible for safely supervising and caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play, administer medications, maintain proper cleaning and disinfection protocols, and provide a safe, low-stress environment for every dog in my care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and pets with behavioral challenges or special medical needs. I’ve also fostered dogs in my home, which has given me additional experience helping nervous or transitioning pets feel safe and comfortable. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a patient companion, medication, or simply lots of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! et care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around consistency and animal care. I have experience managing multiple pets at once, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter box maintenance, play sessions, and check-ins. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits and maintain a steady routine for each pet I care for. I’m comfortable incorporating visits into my day-to-day activities, and I plan my time so pets always get full attention without feeling rushed. Because I’ve worked in structured animal care settings and have fostered pets in my home, staying on top of routines like feeding, cleaning, medication, and companionship is second nature to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I naturally organize my day around I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care visit. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m careful with home entry and follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any house rules. I keep doors secured during visits, monitor pets closely during interactions, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me. I approach each animal with patience and respect, especially shy, senior, or anxious pets, and I always move at their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, consistent experience so pets feel secure while you’re away and you feel
