“Emily was wonderful with our dog. This was our first time using Rover and I was a little nervous leaving Chloe for a week, but Emily was so great to work with. She is very diligent and reliable. The care and love she showed towards our dog put us at ease while we were on vacation. I loved her report cards, which at times were funny but they always showed her caring spirit towards Chloe. We will definitely be using Emily in the future!”

“Was very nervous about leaving my pets with an unknown person. Day 1 of meeting Lydia and introducing her to Sweetie and Lil Shit, my worries went away. Sweetie took to Lydia right away. When she came to get key before we left, Sweetie was so happy to see her again. Lil Shit is a cat, and has no opinion, lol! Will book her again”

About: I'm new to professional pet care, but I've always loved animals and have helped friends and family look after their pets when needed. I'm responsible, patient, and happy to follow detailed instructions to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I can easily adjust my hours to fit your pet’s routine. I currently don’t have any pets at home, which allows me to give your furry friend my full attention. I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment, and I always follow your care instructions carefully to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for.

About: I have experience training both horses and dogs. I’ve competed in multiple mustang gentling competitions and done very well. I have shown and trained dogs and helped my mom when she bred GSDs. I trained my last dog in conformation, obedience, agility, S&R, nose work, and even taught him service tasks. I am currently suddenly unemployed and looking for some income in a field I enjoy. My availability will change once I get a part time job but I will continue to pursue this if it’s a feasible option. I also intern at a barn on Wednesday and Thursday evenings but could walk dogs in the morning. I live in an apartment. So I cannot take dogs into my home. I can walk them though. I have experience walking yearlings that aren’t halter broke so dogs don’t worry me. I just don’t do people aggression.

About: I've been caring for all kinds of animals since the age of 13. I have had 3 dogs of my own. One of them having special needs who needed extra loving. My neighbors and family members have counted on me to care for their animals while they were away. I am very open minded when it comes to all types of dogs and I love each of them as if they were my own. Pet care for me is especially easy and convenient because although Im currently working full-time (6:30am-2:30pm) I work about a mile down the road so i have time to come home for lunch and let your pets out! Also Saturdays and Sundays I am free day to watch after your pup! Your pets will be taken out around every 4 hours each day. After work I go on daily walks for about a half hour so it would be a perfect time to take your pup out for a walk! I also love about 3 minutes away from our town dog park! Also, I usually answer any calls or messages pretty quick, my job also allows me to be able to respond quickly to anything you might need.

About: Hello, my name’s Anna. I have been taking care of dogs since I was 26. My family got a golden doodle several years ago and he has definitely been a joy and a task. Having a dog such as mine has made me more comfortable in my dog caring skills and fairly knowledgeable about what needs dogs have. I’m also very well equipped to handle puppies as I recently got a cocker spaniel several months ago. But given that, my passion for dogs continues to grow. I now as an independent adult have 2 dogs who I’ve had the pleasure of raising as puppies to where they are at now. I work full time but like to stay active and adding furry friends to the mix on my days off is no big task. I would love to see more dog friends and help them socialize and make someone’s life easier. I don’t have a fenced in back yard, but I am capable of taking dogs on as many walks as needed. I am also capable of putting dogs in a crate and preparing them for crating as long as needed.

About: I love fur babies! Whether it’s running around and playing with a younger ball of energy, just talking and petting an older “pup” I’m your girl I’ve cared for neighborhood pets since I was 12 years old. I have had pets in my home my entire life. I’d love to give you a stress free time away knowing your beloved animals are in great care while you are unavailable. During the week I would like to schedule regular evening walks, drops ins, or boarding. And weekends I am completely available. I can accommodate weekday services as long as I have enough of an advanced notice. I have a large fenced in yard! I am a very adventurous, outdoors person so if your dog is energetic I will be out there finding out what your dog enjoys to do, whether it be being chased, catching a ball, or just being curious and walking the neighborhood if you’re baby plans on hanging out with me I would definitely keep he/she active! I am currently working Monday-Thursdays, with a very flexible schedule! I am able to do drop ins or walks anytime throughout the day, but I will be able to give more devoted time for boarding typically Thur thru Sunday. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of space for your fur babies to run around and feel at home! My family will live on your pets as if they are our own!

Jamie was wonderful with my two boys. We had a pet emergency and needed someone to watch the dogs over the weekend last minute. The dogs immediately felt comfortable with Jamie. Highly recommended!
