About: I've had dogs since I was 11 and I have my own puppy who I am owner-training. I can walk, bathe, do minimal training, or dog sit for you. I will work with you to be flexible around your dog's routine and my schedule. Let me know in advance what you need so I can work with you. I treat dogs like family. I understand how much our pets mean to us. I also have experience with ESAs and Service Dogs. I know how important your dog is to you and I will treat them like my own.
“Nancy was so conscientious and has a warmth that both people and animals relate to. I was 100% confident that Pepper would be well taken care of in her capable hands.”
About: I have helped train and care for my own dogs since I was 8 years old. I have house sat, done drop in visits and walked dogs for neighbors and friends. Dogs always make me smile and I have done a lot of reading/research on how to train/care for your dog. I work part time so there is a lot of time in my day to care for dogs. I usually have a lot of time in the afternoon and the evening to feed them or walk them. I love to play with dogs and walk them. I am very active so I can do long walks with the dogs or just play some fetch. All dogs are different and need different types of attention and love.
“Ben took such good care of our doggo on short notice over a holiday weekend. We are so grateful that we could be sure that our buddy was well taken of while we were out of town. Thanks, Ben!”
About: I’ve grown up on a farm, caring for various types of animals including dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. I have years of experience working at animal shelters and clinics which makes me prepared for any type of situation. I’m skilled in providing loving, reliable care for all animals, big and small. I’m currently working part time during the week so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pups in early mornings or after 2 pm. Weekends are completely available. Ensuring a safe, calm, and comfortable environment is my priority. I’ll make sure your pup feels secure and happy while under my care, providing them with all the attention and safety they deserve!
About: I was raised on—and still help run—my family’s small farm, so animal care is second nature. From rabbits to horses, chickens to cows, and everything in between, I’ve worked with just about every kind of animal. I’ve also had dozens of dogs and cats throughout my life. My background in the Marine Corps means I bring discipline, strong communication, and a quick response time. If you ever have a question or concern, it’ll be handled right away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. Pet care is already a natural part of my routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to provide consistent and timely check-ins. My farm-kid instincts and Marine-level discipline keep routines tight, and I cap the number of pets I accept so no animal ever competes for my full attention. Animals have always been woven into my day-to-day life—caring for them isn’t a task, it’s a rhythm I’m used to. I have a fenced yard and four well-socialized dogs who do great with visitors, but I only introduce pets if I’m confident it’s safe. I can easily crate if needed, and I’m happy to separate animals for a calm environment. Cleanliness, structure, and clear communication are my baseline—your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I’d want for my own—clean, quiet, and intentional. I follow all instructions carefully, keep mess to an absolute minimum, and make sure your pet stays safe, calm, and well cared for in their familiar environment.
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have three Portuguese Water Dogs. I train and handle them in multiple dog sports such as agility and dock diving. I am semi retired after selling my business a year ago. Not one to sit still for too long, I think pet caregiving is a great avenue to channel my energy. My schedule is very flexible so I can work this in. I am very safety conscious. At my home we have a fully fenced yard. When out walking, I am always aware of surroundings and what might trigger a pet. I aim to be proactive and in control at all times
About: Our family-owned company has been proudly providing professional pet care services for the past three years. With a lifelong passion for animals and personal experience caring for a variety of beloved pets, we treat every animal as part of our family. As my husband and I currently work from home, we have plenty of time to give your dog the attention they deserve. I’ll ensure regular potty breaks and incorporate playtime throughout the day to keep them happy and active! We have a fully fenced yard, providing a safe space for supervised outdoor play. Indoors, we use baby gates to create separate areas as needed. Pups enjoy plenty of outdoor playtime, both in group settings and one-on-one, ensuring a fun and safe environment for all!
“Colleen is personable and friendly and clearly a dog lover! She connected quickly to my Bella and at our meet and greet. We had a great conversation and she let me know all the ways she was respectful of how an owner takes care of their pet when she cared for them. Over the course of the three walks this weekend, she communicated regularly and provided updates as requested! We're looking forward to working with her again!”

“I cannot recommend Ipet highly enough as a pet caregiver. I have had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved furry friend to Ipet's care multiple times, and each time has been nothing short of exceptional. Ipet goes above and beyond in providing not just the basic necessities, but genuine love and attention to my pet. Their responsible and caring approach is evident in every interaction, from ensuring a safe environment to thoughtful playtime and companionship. I appreciate Ipet's reliability and the peace of mind I have knowing that my pet is in such capable and caring hands.
