About: I recently graduated with my MBA and, while I figure out what comes next professionally, I’m currently home full time. That means I’m able to spend plenty of time with my dogs and any dogs staying with me rather than being gone at work all day. I’ve always had dogs in my life, starting when I was a child, and I truly cannot imagine my life without them. Everyone knows that person who walks into a room and says hello to the dogs before the people. That’s me. I’m absolutely that person. I currently have four dogs of my own, so dogs are a pretty big part of everyday life in our house. I have a Pomeranian, a Husky mix, and two Chocolate Labs. My dogs love other dogs, and having dogs ranging from a little Pom to large, energetic dogs has given me plenty of experience with different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and needs. My Pom is 17 now and has definitely earned the right to take life at his own pace. These days, that often means being carried around by me rather than walking everywhere himself. He also has his own smaller fenced area within our large fenced yard so he can enjoy being outside without having to deal with the bouncing energy of the bigger dogs. If a visiting dog needs a little more peace and quiet outside, they are welcome to share his area too. Not every dog wants to be in the middle of the action all the time, and that’s perfectly fine here. For the dogs who DO want to be in the middle of the action, there is plenty of room in our large fenced yard to run, play, explore, or just hang out. And if your dog needs daily walks, I’m your girl! Mine insist on them, so walking is already part of my everyday routine. My Pom makes it about half a mile, my Husky gets around 2.5 miles, and my two Chocolate Labs need at least 3 miles. I walk all four separately, so everyone gets individual time and a walk that actually fits their needs. Adding another walk or two for a visiting dog is no problem, whether they need a long walk to burn off some energy or a short leisurely one to sniff everything along the way. Your dog will fit right in. Inside, there are dog beds and blankets throughout the house, although our dogs are also welcome to sleep with us. Basically, they sleep wherever they decide they are most comfortable. I want a dog staying with us to feel comfortable too, so I’m happy to follow what they are accustomed to at home as much as possible. I also take mealtimes seriously. Our Husky and Pomeranian eat separately, while our two Labs are comfortable eating together. Visiting dogs are typically fed separately from our dogs so everyone can relax and enjoy their meal without competition or unnecessary stress. Depending on the dog, that may be as simple as eating across the room or having a baby gate between them. I adjust based on the individual dogs involved because their comfort and safety matter more than having one rule that every dog has to follow. Some people might say my dogs are spoiled rotten. I prefer to say they are extremely well loved, and that is exactly how I treat the dogs who stay with me. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs, from seniors who prefer a quieter pace to younger dogs with energy to spare. I’m also comfortable administering medications and caring for dogs who may need a little extra attention. Whether your dog is staying for daycare or boarding, I know how important it is to feel confident about the person caring for them. When a dog stays with me, they aren’t treated like a guest I’m watching. They’re treated like part of the family until their family comes back to get them. I am currently home full time, so I have lots of time to spend with my dogs and yours! My life is sincerely built around the happiness and comfort of my babies, and yours when they are with me. Our days already include individual walks, outside time, playtime, meals, plenty of attention, and, of course, lots of lounging and snuggles. Because I’m home, I also have the flexibility to adjust my routine to what your dog is used to. If they normally eat at a certain time, need multiple walks, take medication on a schedule, need more frequent potty breaks, or simply want someone nearby, I can accommodate that. Your dog doesn’t have to adjust to my schedule. As much as possible, I’ll adjust my schedule to theirs. We have a large, fully fenced yard with a smaller fenced area within it for little dogs or dogs who just want some peace and quiet. That way, if the big dogs are running around playing and being their usual goofy selves, the smaller or less energetic dogs don’t have to worry about getting run over! Visiting dogs are welcome to use whichever area makes them most comfortable. We also have multiple dog doors, so dogs can come and go as they need or want rather than having to wait for someone to let them outside. Since I’m home full time, I’m here to keep an eye on everyone throughout the day. I pay attention to each dog and what makes them comfortable. Dogs can be together when they enjoy each other’s company, but I also have plenty of space to separate them when someone needs a break. Meals are typically separated as well, either with physical space or a baby gate, so everyone can eat comfortably and safely without worrying about another dog getting into their food. My own dogs range from a 17 year old Pomeranian to a Husky mix and two Chocolate Labs, so I’m very accustomed to managing different sizes, ages, energy levels, and needs under one roof. I don’t expect every dog to behave or interact the same way. I’d rather adjust the environment to the dog and make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. If I’m caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow your routines and house rules. My goal is to keep things as familiar as possible for your dog while you’re away, because sometimes the best way to help them feel safe is simply to keep their world as normal as possible.

About: My husband and I have always had dogs growing up, from Poodles to Border Collies, and our latest was a Yellow Lab. We absolutely love dogs and we understand that they are part of your family. I am currently a stay at home mom, and have a very flexible schedule. I am great with communication, detail-oriented, and believe in taking care of your dog as I would one of my own kids. If your dog has special needs or a schedule to maintain, I am able to commit to that. Our home is cozy, fun, and full of love for your special dog. We have a small, fenced yard that they can run around in if the weather is nice, in addition to walks that are needed. I believe in only watching one dog at a time, so that your dog is safe and gets all of the attention it needs. I am happy to answer any questions you may have! With me, rest assured that your dog is in great hands.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have taken an active role in caring for different animals with various needs. Growing up I have been around Dogs, Cats, Fish, and Rodents. To this day I consistently care for my Dogs, Cats, and Chickens. I understand that animals require empathy and attention. I can handle large dogs down to small critters. I feel comfortable reading an animals body language and being in tune with their needs and vast environments. I work part time, my schedule is not absolute but I typically work Friday-Sunday about 7 hours each day. I am very available during the weekdays however I do have to complete my daily runs every morning. It may be easier to book me after 12:00pm but that is totally negotiable! My two dogs tend to be pretty obnoxious, so I would prefer to care for your pets in their own environment! I can easily navigate new environments and situations with your pets and would love to make them most comfortable.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life! From cats, dogs, bunnies, and sheep! I love all animals and I even have a golden retriever puppy right now! I love being a dog mom but, I also love going back home to my family dogs and cats. ❤️ We always had foster kittens growing up and I loved nothing more than bottle feeding them and taking care of them! I’m currently working full time at a medical job. I have time on Wednesdays and weekends to take care of your pets! I am also available some other week nights after 5. I have a fully fenced yard as well as a dog door. I have plenty of walking paths and parks around my neighborhood for dogs to play! I have a golden retriever who loves to play with other dogs!

About: I have loved animals my entire life and couldn’t imagine life without them! I have taken care of pets since I was a young girl and I currently have a dog that I treat as if he was my child haha! I worked at the Humane Society for 3 years and have lots and lots of experience when it comes to taking care of animals. The wellbeing of animals has always been a big priority in my life! My work is currently under construction due to a fire that happened not too long ago, so I have all the time in the world to care for your pet! My schedule is extremely flexible and I am happy to try and make any day work our schedules allow! Since I will be coming to your home, I will follow any direction that you give me when it comes to letting your dog out!

About: Hi! I have grown up around animals my whole life but in my adult life I have had one cat and one dog. My cat adopted me around 1 year of age and my dog I got when she was a puppy. Unfortunately both of my animals have passed away. My cat about 3 years ago and sadly my dog passed away in April of this year, 2026. I feel a huge hole without animals in the house but am just not ready to get another one yet. I work part time, only 12 hours a week therefore I am home the majority of the time. I live on quarter acre so my backyard is a very good size for a dog to run around, it is fully fenced as well. My dog had diabetes so I am used to giving dogs shots and feel very comfortable doing so. Please choose me to take care of your pet and give them lots of love! You wont regret it! I am currently working part time, 12 hours a week so I am home the majority of the time. My kids go to school during the week as well so my house is nice and quiet for animals to nap, relax, or get plenty of attention from me while the kids are away. I live on quarter acre so ai have a big backyard that is fully fenced perfect for a dog to run around in. My neighborhood is large with multiple walking paths perfect for taking dogs on walks to change the scenery. For dogs that have tons of energy I also have multiple common areas in my neighborhood perfect for throwing the ball long distances. I have plenty of space in my house for a crate if your animal is needing a space of their own or put in their crate at night.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I am definitely a cat person. But I would love the opportunity to help out any animal and provide peace of mind while the owner is away. At home we feed our kitties twice a day and make sure to provide enrichment. I work 7-5pm four days a week. I am available for after work visits. Open availability on Mondays and on the weekends! I would treat someone homes as if it were mine. Keeping it clean and respectful of all belongings and privacy. Made sure it’s a good and safe environment for the your pet before you arrive home.

“Celeste was great with our dog, and he adored her. She was very responsible and willing to learn the dogs new leash training. We definitely recommend Celeste.”

About: I believe a house isn't a home without a dog! I grew up around dogs of all breeds and temperaments, and lovingly cared for my own best dog friend Hobbes for 11 years. I'm ready to be a stand-in best friend for your canine companions whenever work, travel, or life keep you too busy to dote on them. I'm reliable, trustworthy, and a great communicator. Looking forward to meeting your furry friends! I work part-time as a healthcare professional. I often have multi-day stretches of time off, and am happy to take time out of my day to give your pets the love and attention they need. I'm flexible, reliable, and adaptable. My goal is to keep your pet's routine and environment as familiar and comfortable as possible. I'm happy to stick to the schedule your pet knows and provide plenty of snuggles in between.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 4 years old. I love and care for my dogs as if they were my children. They sleep with me, go in the car on trips with me, and are genuinely part of our family. I’ve worked at an animal hospital and have experience administering meds, teaching dogs tricks, walking on a leash, and generally good behavior. I actually met my husband at the animal hospital! I love dogs and cats both and am teaching my sons to do the same I’m very flexible for all types of services. If your dog is friendly, I would love nothing more than to bring them home and treat them as my own animals for however long you need a sitter! I’d also love to drop in and walk your pup during the day if needed I have my own home and we have a fenced in backyard. We have 2 pups, a German Shorthair, and a wiener doggie. Along with 3 cats who are indoors only. Our dogs have experience around new dogs/cats because I am always offering to watch our family members pets when they go on vacation! Our house includes my husband, myself, and our 2 sons, ages 3 and 6.

“Tawny has been a huge blessing to my best friend! Poots has been treated so well, with care and compassion, and he loves to see Tawny come through the door! If you need a compassionate caregiver for your best friend, Tawny should be your go-to!”

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I’ve always had at least three dogs in my house, ranging from small dogs to bigger dogs, like labs and German shepherds. I work as a middle school librarian, so I’m available after school and weekends! After 3:30 is when I’m available during the week but I have no limitations on the weekends! Unfortunately, my current residence does not allow for pets. If my residence changes in the near future, I will gladly have pets in my apartment.

“Brittney is amazing! She’s been walking our dog for a few weeks now daily and takes great care of her. She is so creative and also brings adorable stickers around”
