13. Hannah B.
About: I’ve grown up always having a dog, and have had many breeds and sizes. I’ve always considered myself more as a dog person than a people person which is fitting as I’m currently a dog groomer. I am very comfortable around dogs and I am able to pick up on their behaviors. I have been working professionally with dogs for almost 2 years now. I also have a very high energy breed of my own (a Boykin Spaniel) so I don’t get overwhelmed easily. Working as a dog groomer, I see many dogs of not only different breeds, but different ages, needs, and sizes. I am comfortable working with both training basic commands to puppies as well as accommodating the older kiddos. I am comfortable administering medications as well as taking extra time to assist those with mobility issues (bad hips, arthritis, cataracts, etc). Dogs are my passion and they deserve to be treated like family! I am available for boarding 7 days a week with the exception of a few weekends we go out of town. I do work full time Monday-Friday, however, my fiance is home by 3:00 on weekdays. I work 8-4 so the kiddos would have the house (or kennel) to themselves for about 7 hours in total during the work week. I do usually try to go home on my lunch to let my dog out and wouldn’t mind doing the same for kiddos in my care. I have house sat coworkers and friends dogs in the past and have a large house. I have a 33lb Boykin spaniel who gets along with dogs of all sizes but is very high energy. We are getting a fence put up soon but we do live in an HOA neighborhood where we could go on walks without the risk of traffic. I feed separately, not because of any food aggression issues my dog has, but because he wants to eat his food and yours too haha. I also have a spare bedroom dedicated to being the dog room where I have a large kennel if kenneling is needed or requested. I am more than happy to board older kiddos, but I would keep them separate from my kiddo just because he does have so much energy. The older dogs tend to have less patience and have more of a “been there, done that” outlook. River wants to play 24/7. He is also very mischievous so I am very cautious of things he can get into around the house. We do not use cloth toys, nylon toys, or anything with stuffing. His toy box is filled with super durable rubber toys and balls that he can’t destroy. It also gives peace of mind when other dogs come to play as I know there is nothing they could accidentally ingest.


14. Sydney G.
About: Hi! I’m Sydney. I have experience with animals of all sizes. From fat Labradors to my pet gecko... you name it! I am a dog trainer and have worked with several different personalities of dogs. If you just need me to stop by and clean you cats litter box, the dog poop in your yard, or maybe just to check up on your precious pooch, I’m happy to do so. I’m not afraid of a challenge either. Dog, cat, lizard, fish, etc. I have experience with most every common pet. Please feel free to ask me any questions. My availability is consistent but limited so please reach out to me for scheduling! Thank you and I look forward to helping you and your pet! My fur babies are given the best of care and you can expect the same for yours! All dogs are expected to be leashed at all times on walks.


15. Lisa P.
About: Your pups will receive the best care and attention while you're away. I work from home full-time and while boarding dogs in my home, I do not spend more than a couple of hours at a time out of our home. I have two rescue dogs, Jarvis & Jumbo. They're both poodle mixes and get along very well with other dogs. We have a large, 6-8 ft privacy fenced in back yard with grass and plenty of safe romping room. I know how important it is to have peace of mind for your pets while you have to be away from them. If you are interested in booking a stay in our home, please make sure to provide the last date of vaccinations for your pet. Thank you for considering hiring me to take great care of your pets. I look forward to meeting you. I work-from-home full-time, so your pup/s will receive the best care, around the clock, with as many outings as they need for exercise and relief. I have a large, completely privacy fenced back yard for exercise and play. They have access to all space inside our home as they would yours. If you'd like to have them crated, please bring the crate.


16. Ameshia C.
“I have known Ameshia for over 10 years. She is the most kind hearted and loving person you’ll ever meet. She is always excelling in everything she does. She has been around animals for as long as I can remember and takes very well care of them. She is very dependable and reliable and will treat your pets like her own. If you want the best you have found it with Ameshia.”


17. Alicia M.
“Alicia is the perfect person for sitting with my dogs, while I was out of town she took it upon herself to send me pictures of my fur babies that mean so much to me, I appreciated that so much and it made me feel good about leaving my two dogs with her.”




18. Tonya M.


“Tonya was very personable with me and my dogs when she came to meet us. I ask her for a one feeding a day since they have a doggie door to go out when they want . Tonya came daily and sent pictures as well as a message to me. She went over and beyond and cleaned my dogs bowls, brought in my mail, and even stayed a while on her feeding visit to spend time with them. I am amazed with her service since I have never used Rover before . I felt guilty leaving my babies but she gave me comfort knowing she assured me of her love for my dogs. Thank you Tonya and I will continue to use you in the future.<3”


19. Brittany M.
About: My love for animals started when I was a child I was only a few month old when we got a new addition to our family. I grew up with my "baby". She was my responsibility to care for and love. Since then, I have found myself having a passion for caring for and loving animals. I have a 6 year old daughter who also loves to care for animals. She is my side kick. We have a large fenced in backyard for our 2 year old lab and 1 year old cat to run and play. My babies have a special bond with another. They are calm and snuggle, but enjoy play time. They get along perfect with other animals. I will be a perfect sitter/walker for your dog because you can trust that your baby will be carefully attended to, loved, and getting all the attention and play time he/she require. I look forward to meeting you and your special family member. Thank you so much for considering me! I prefer Weekends (Friday-Monday) to ensure your dog gets the quality care they deserve due to a teacher and a daughter in cheer schedule. . I want your pup to have the best experience while away. I have a larger fenced in back yard and a 1 year old lab to play with your dog. My pup is kenneled in an extra large custom kennel when we leave. I will meet your needs when it comes to leaving the house.


20. Hope M.

“Hope was great, she was very professional and flexible with the house visit. She was also very sweet and kind with my pups and she sent photo updates while we were out. I will definitely reach out to her again in the future and will recommend her to others.”
