“What a sweetheart. She was early, really friendly & you could tell she love dogs! My Beagles loved her! She accommodated a short notice request ( not saying that she’ll do that all the time), but she did for me, and I was super grateful. I would absolutely use her again!”
6. Heather & Norman R.
About: My very first job was working with dogs. I’ve always had a passion for the fur babies! I have a 4 year old pit bull who absolutely loves making new pup friends and a 11 year old daughter who adores all animals! With the help of my spouse who works at a local fire department, we can ensure your pets feel loved every second of the day with his rotating schedule to my day shift schedule! I work day shifts but my spouse is a fire fighter so has a lot of time to help out in between shifts. He will be assisting me with the day shift duties and I’ll be home at night and weekends. There will never be a time when your pup is not cared for. The dogs have free roam of the house during the day and are kenneled at night or when not being watched directly. Dogs are given daily walks and are given tons of attention :)

10. Collin B.
About: Hello, I've trained several dogs from puppies in basic skills and know the best way to connect with most dogs is through play. I have experience with some medical care for temporary conditions and dogs with anxious dispositions. I'm a big guy so I'm not intimidated by larger dogs and will get down on the floor so smaller dogs aren't nervous. I currently work fully remote from home and have a generally flexible schedule to allow breaks for walks or visits. I'm generally up by 6:30 am each day, but have no issues getting up earlier depending on your pet's schedule. From my house I typically walk the neighborhoods near Greenacre or head over to Bliss park. I can also make late stops up to ~ 11 pm as I know sometimes that overnight without a break can be too much for your pet. I have a large double yard with the majority being fenced/blocked but there are several open areas near the driveway and side of the house. There is a two-story house with wood floors. Depending on your pet's preferences and schedule I would keep them with me in my room. I have a 40 lb mixed rescue dog who is very sweet and timid. Depending on preference we would keep them completely separate but she will likely check them out and then hide under a bed most of the time anyway ;) She has never shown any aggression or had any issues with other dogs.

12. Nayaliz F.
“Nayaliz is flexible, responsive, and thoughtful - she clearly cared about taking good care of my dog, which allowed me not to worry while traveling.

About: I have had pets of all kinds since I was a child. I have also been asked and given the privilege to watch family and friends pets over night or for extended periods of time. I have a lot of patience with animals and I am always willing to learn and enjoy challenges. I am currently working part-time. This allows me the flexibility to play with your pup, take out on walks, as well as have a structured feeding schedule at your convenience. I am very reliable and trusted. If I am in your home taking car eof your beloved pet I will make sure to follow the rules given to me as I understand the importance and it is a priority for me to keep furry friend safe.
19. Eddie G.
“Eddie was very patient with my cat who is a little skittish. He got on his level and waited until my cat approached him. My cat is quick to ask for pets now and has curled up beside Eddie. I've seen Eddie spend time with the neighbor's dog until she was satisfied with the attention. Eddie will always acknowledge a furry friend and make sure they're getting all they need.”
