“Jacky took amazing care of Lucy while we were on vacation for a week. We had never been away from Lucy for that many days, so naturally I was a tad nervous at first.

If you want your pet to get lots of attention and love while you’re away, book with Jacky!”

About: Hi there! I’m Lauren, and I’m so excited to welcome your furry family member into my home! As a lifelong dog lover with lots of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I understand how important it is to find a trustworthy and caring place for your dog when you’re away. I have a friendly, playful Staffy dog of my own who LOVES to make new friends. He great with all types of dogs, and I’ll ensure your pup has a fun time playing, socializing, and getting plenty of exercise. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime in the yard, or cozy naps inside, your dog will feel right at home. I also have experience administering medication, so if your dog needs specific care or treatment, I can handle that with ease and make sure they get the attention they need. Your dog's routine, diet, and special needs will always be a top priority. My goal is to make their stay as enjoyable and stress-free as possible, while giving them lots of love and care. I also have base access so if you are just needing a drop-in visit I would be more than happy to do so! I am available all day every Sunday through Wednesday, offering plenty of time for walks, playtime, and snuggles. I’ll make sure your dog gets all the attention and care they need during their stay. Unfortunately I work 12 hour shifts Thursday-Saturday so I will not be available on those days. I have a dog to keep your dog entertained throughout their say! I can easily create your dog if necessary, and I have separate spaces/rooms if you prefer your pup to be separated! There are plenty of beds and toys and treats all that is needed for you do bring your own food.

About: I have taken care of many kinds of dogs. I am always excited to take care of dogs. They are my best friend. I love them. I am willing to work Full-time every day of the week. I will board dogs if needed. I will take care of them like they are my own. I will give them their medications if needed. I will walk them as far as the owner wants me to walk them. Dogs are always welcome.
About: I work at Shaggy Hound where we treat your dogs just like our own. I take care of dogs from 3 months to 17 years old. I can administer medications and keep them on a regular schedule. I can also start training your dog basic commands while they are in my care. I believe what sets me apart from other people is my knowledge and experience. I used to work at a vet clinic for four years and now I work as a Kennel Tech. I have gained so much confidence in my ability to handle and work with animals. Pet care fits into my routine because it’s what I do for work, i work with dogs and then I come home and get to spoil my own dog and cats. I have a passion for caring for animals because they can’t do it for themselves. Your pets depend on you and that is my motivation to be better for them everyday. I care for other people’s animals with the same genuine love as I do my own. Pets are apart of the family and deserve to see love and respect always.
About: I trained my old and current dog and now she is ESA certified. She’s exceptionally well behaved and listens to commands very well. I spoil her with treats and play time and I would risk my life for her like I would for yours. I take my dog out 4-5 times a day to play or use the bathroom. I feed her twice a day and give her plenty of love and attention. From belly rubs to wrestling. I would treat any animal I sit like mine. I keep an eye on them 24/7. I watch them outside so they don’t eat anything that will make them sick. I don’t let them chew on anything that could be dangerous.
About: I am always taking care of the pets of family and friends when they go out of town or while they’re at work. I have experience with taking care of dogs of all ages and breeds as well as senior dogs who may have some special needs. I’ll be happy to take care of your furbaby(s)! I work at a church during the week, so I’m available after 4pm on weekdays. And I’m free on weekends to care for your pet(s) from my home or yours! I have a large backyard and a 2 year old aussiedoodle named Emma and a cat named Jack. My dog loves to play and has lots of energy and my cat stays to himself and does cat things :)
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from tiny Shih Tzus to energetic Labs, and I’m experienced in meeting their unique needs. Whether you need someone to walk your pup or provide a safe and loving space while you’re away, I’m here to help. Your dog’s happiness and well-being will always be my top priority! I work a Monday - Friday 9-5 job! I am willing to commit my mornings or nights to walk or care for them. I am also able to commit my weekends for when I am not out of town! I have room to bring in a crate if they are kennel trained. I do not have a fenced in yard but am willing to let them out on a leash when needed. I live right next to campus that has great walking trails.

Sara S.
“I have a German Shepherd who will be 2 this year. To say she has endless energy is an understatement so she can definitely be hard to handle. Sara is so patient with her and I know I can absolutely trust her to watch my dog. She is extremely attentive and always looking out for the well-being of my dog. She doesn’t sugar coat when things go bad. I can always trust that I will get a full report of anything and everything that happened with my dog while I was gone which gives me peace of mind. She is also in vet school so it’s nice to know that I’m hiring someone who really knows what’s best for my dog.”
