Jewell is a jewel! She took perfect care of my 15 year-old 10 lb fog. She is attentive, understands dogs, caring, and even after our first visit, I know I can trust her with my little old soul Zorro completely.

About: I’m a counselor during the school year and have side jobs to supplement my income. Kids and animals love me as I love them even more! ;) For the pets that I fall in love with, I will maintain those services throughout the entire year. I have a therapy dog that works along side me. I’ve given medicine, bathe them, love them and be their fill in mommy until you return. ;) I’m also open to discussing the costs. ***Currently I don’t have any pets of my own so I have a lot of flexibility. The therapy dog is a volunteer. I have a lot of flexibility as this is my only job at the moment. I am off during the summers so I enjoy working with animals. During the school year I’m a school counselor. I feed them, provide love, walks, and play with them. I am happy to have your kennel here for them to feel comfortable in their little home.

I cannot say enough about my experience with Beth and her husband and their home, little dog and cats. I felt so at ease around their kindness. The best part is that my dog was more vibrant and playful after two days with them. They were keen to follow instructions and just be a loving presence for Zushi. That’s what we needed most! I will be booking with them again. And highly recommend them.

About: Hi, I’m Nick. I provide structured, dependable pet care built around routine, supervision, and clear communication. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds and personalities, from working dogs like Brittanys and English Labs to rare breeds like the Swedish Vallhound, as well as rescued strays and foster animals. I adjust care based on temperament, energy level, and age, ensuring each pet feels secure and engaged. This range of experience has taught me how to read behavior, manage different energy levels, and maintain a stable environment for dogs that thrive on structure as well as those who simply need consistency and patience. My goal is simple: treat every pet like family and give owners peace of mind knowing their companions are in good hands. Oh and lots of pictures :) Because I work from home, your pet is rarely left alone. I provide a stable, structured environment with consistent supervision throughout the day, ideal for dogs that thrive on routine and attentive care. Safety and structure come first in my home. I double check gates and entry points before every walk, use secure leashing practices, and maintain a controlled environment to prevent overstimulation. Whether caring for a senior cat or a high-energy retriever, I tailor each pet’s routine to match their age, temperament, and energy level to keep them safe, balanced, and comfortable.

About: I’ve had dogs for many years and have plenty of experience caring for different personalities, sizes and energy levels. Friends and family have trusted me to look after their pets over the years, and I truly enjoy creating a calm, safe and loving environment for them. I’m patient, attentive and responsible, and I understand how important routines, affection and supervision are for a dog’s well-being. I only take a limited number of dogs at a time so each pet receives personalized care and attention during their stay. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision and companionship throughout the day. I’m home most of the time and enjoy maintaining a calm and structured environment with regular walks, playtime and rest. I only take a limited number of dogs at a time so I can focus on each pet individually and make sure they feel comfortable, safe and well cared for during their stay. Your dog’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I provide a clean, calm and secure home environment and always supervise interactions carefully. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks and any special instructions from the owner. I prefer caring for well-behaved adult dogs and only accept a small number of pets at a time to ensure personalized attention and a low-stress environment for everyone.

About: **can host multiple pets from the same household** From raising & potty training chihuahua and doberman puppies, to working with fear aggressive dogs to ease their mind and gain confidence, to helping senior dogs with medical care... all dogs deserve to be loved unconditionally, regardless of how short their stay is with me. I have been loving and caring for fur babies for a looong time; one of my first memories in life :) From morning walks to afternoon runs, monitored feedings, divided training sessions throughout the day, to snuggling on the couch for some late night Netflix, your best friend will be made as comfy & happy as can be! -Large fenced in yard available for your fur baby to enjoy (will only go outside supervised or when playing one-on-one games) -Couch, bed, & arms open at all times -Rest assured that whatever instructions or routines your furbaby has will be strictly followed -I have a guest room for your baby to stay in, on their own queen mattress with silk sheets. The room also has an air purifier, pet couch, and dog toy basket with an assortment of toys! -Let me know if your buddy needs a bath. I have a dedicated bathroom with all the essentials: skin sensitive, anti-shed, and regular grooming shampoos available. A handheld shower sprayer with soft spray settings is used for a gentle, relaxing clean. Nails are clipped & filed to make sure they are nice & smooth. A lavender paw balm is then massaged onto the paw pads and finally, a smoothing fur oil is applied.

About: I bring skills and support beyond the basics. reliable, versatile, and here to make your life easier. I respect your communication preferences. Experienced, patient and have been known to be great with animals. i’m available this summer and trying to keep an active lifestyle while making money. So if you need help in the area, please don’t hesitate to contact me with the details and I’ll let you know how I can help. Animals like to stick to their routine, especially when it’s already being thrown off by their owner being away. In the beginning I try to plan and relax, so the animals can warm up to me and the fact that I will be in their space.
