About: Hey there! My name is Cari and I am a dog owner looking to care for other four legged friends, big or small! I have cared for and trained dogs since I was a child and often assist with friends and family’s pets. I primarily am available for drop in visits and walking, but I may also have some availability to house sit. When I’m not hanging out with the dogs you can find me waiting tables, fishing or just enjoying the outdoors. I am currently working out a new work schedule, though I should be available most days for up to 4 hours or more. Mornings work the best but I am very flexible! I’m committed to make sure your pet is happy and tired out by the end of my visit. I also have a reliable vehicle if needed to transport your pet to their favorite walking trail. I look forward to meeting you and your fury friends!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young—dogs/puppies and cats. Very patient with younger animals or with more energy that require more attention and/or more technical care. I have a flexible schedule that allows the ability to stop in throughout the day. Available most weekends, early evenings and flexible throughout the day. With extensive experience with petsitting I’m very skilled in sensing the time needed and patience to build trust and a comfortable space and presence for one’s pets.

About: I have helped my parents take care of dogs since I was 6 years old. Family and friends ask for my help when they need it. I have plenty of time to take care of and pay attention to your dog’s needs and wants, and can play with and exercise your dogs. I have an indoor dog that gets plenty of time outside. I make sure they get fed on time and take them or allow them outside to go to the bathroom when needed.

“Zyaire is not only an awesome communicator, she is a compassionate, flexible, fun-loving & trustworthy. I cannot recommend her services highly enough. I am so grateful to have found her! Thank you, Zyaire”


About: Hello! We are a family of four. My husband and myself have two children. We now have a 2 year old black lab, Lionhead rabbit, fish and pet crabs. We had three very loved dogs the last 12 years. They all passed of old age. We had a German Shepherd, a Yorkshire Terrier and a Weenie Dog ( my profile photo) Adults would always be present in the household and young children would never be unsupervised. If client preferred their animal was not handled by a child that could be arranged. Between my husband and myself we have experience with dogs, cats, parrots, parakeets, snakes, fish, rabbits, hamsters, crabs, pigs and chickens. We are willing to take exotic pets. I worked at a doggy day care in Hawaii while going to college. It was such a fun job and taught me a lot about the business. It taught me things I want to do as well as don't want to do when providing my own services. I have experience with senior and geriatric dogs as our dogs required medication, syringes and wound care at the end of their lives. Right now I only provide animal daycare and short term pet boarding. I can do drop ins on occasion if the schedule allows. We are not set up like a typical kennel. Your animal will have the run of the house and therefore must be fully house trained and okay in a kennel at night if not potty trained or a chewer. We converted our office into a doggy room. No children are allowed in this room so if your pup needs some quiet time to listen to piano music or just relax it’s a nice quiet spot for them to go, although most end up on my bed for some reason :) We do NOT have a fenced yard but we have a smaller fenced off area for potty and outdoor breaks. We have a little over 5 acres on a relatively quiet cul-de-sac. I typically prefer to keep the animal leashed for the first few hours upon arrival so that I can determine whether or not it is safe to let he or she off leash for potty and playtime. If the owner requests that the animal remain leashed the entire time that is perfectly fine. We have a great neighborhood for walking. I would need to know if your dog is okay around other dogs as we may encounter other pets a long the walk. If that will be an issue we can remain on our 5 acre property for fun and exercise. I am home full time unless running errands or taking kids to school. Dogs can be let out to potty as mush as needed. I typically take them out once an hour. We have a 10 x 30 fenced potty area outside downstairs. Because of this, I typically ask if a dog is OK with stairs, but I have been known to carry dogs up to 40 pounds up and down the stairs.

About: I have experience with senior and special needs dogs and cats as well as happy and healthy pets. I have a love for animals and grew up in 4-H. My experience includes over 10 years caring for pets. Your pets are a priority, I provide overnight and drop in visits. I keep a flexible daily routine in order to accommodate potty breaks and exercise! Keeping your home secure and well cared for during winter and beyond are a top priority. Your house will remain clean and tidy, I always leave a clients home as good or better than I find it!
