About: We had all sorts of animals while I was growing up, including cats and dogs. We started with cats and two beagles, and after the beagles' passing, we adopted the sweetest schnoodle (schnauzer-poodle) on the planet! Long story short, after my sister and I moved out, my parents ended up with two more dogs and trusted only one person (other than my sister) to look after all three dogs when they (my folks) would go on trips: me. We continued to have cats and other animals during that time. My parents are down to two dogs now, but that's been one of my jobs for the last several years, in addition to looking after friends' dogs. I've also volunteered at a couple of shelters as a cat socializer and cat/kitten foster parent. During that time, I completed a "Fear Free Shelter" course and understand the signs of distressed dogs and cats and how to reduce their stress (one spoiler: classical music for dogs). I also recently became certified in canine and feline first aid/CPR. Anyway, I love doing drop-in visits and dog walking and am happy to offer my home as a daycare. I love seeing animals in the comfort of their own homes and letting dogs explore my backyard. I'm currently funemployed, so I have time to do drop-in visits, dog walking, and doggy daycare most days. Dogs staying with me for the day would have access to our fenced backyard. If you need only dog-walking or drop-in sittings, then I can usually start after 10a. For doggy daycare, I’ll be sure to provide the stability and boundaries your fur baby needs. Your dog is welcome on the couch during the day, and we have a heated and air conditioned home during the hot and cold months. If I'm in your home, such as for drop-in visits, I'll use Rover Cards to let you know when I arrive, document how things went while I was there (with photos), and let you know when I head out. It would also help me tremendously if you could provide written instructions on Rover ahead of time. My goal is to provide all of the comfort your honey needs while you’re away. (I've been that anxious pet guardian myself, so I get it!)

About: I grew up around animals my whole life, especially dogs as my family had 3 dogs for a majority of my teen years. I have walked them, taken them to the vet, fed them, and even have watched them over many days on my own. I feel like my combination of passion for animals and experience around them makes me a great option to watch your pups! I have a very open schedule with my full time job that will allow me to be a great person to choose. I work from home 4 of the 5 days of the week and my job gives me the ability to be flexible when I work. So there aren’t many times I won’t be available! When boarding a dog I will make sure to have time with the dog outside of my apartment to let them enjoy the outside and get the much needed time out there. This will include walks and maybe taking to a dog park depending on the dog. My apartment has enough room for the dog to be comfortable and even be able to play around inside. I also have a patio if they like to sit and hang out outside, but of course that will not be there only time outside!

Jasmin G.
“Jasmin has looked after my two dogs and my cat while I’ve been away on vacation. She makes sure they’re well-fed, takes them on walks, and gives them lots of attention. My pets really enjoy being around her! I also love that she keeps me in the loop with regular updates and photos. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in good hands when I’m not home. I truly recommend her as a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
Jessica P.
“Jessica is a very loving and respecting person towards people but especially towards animals. My dog Towy is a very difficult chihuahua/terrier mix (saying she has an attitude is an understatement) and the three times that Jessica has cared for her while I'm out of town for a week have been great. She quickly adjusted to my dog's behavior and boundaries and I can tell Towy has developed a fondness for her. I don't like leaving Towy with anyone else when I go out of town because finding someone you can trust is difficult nowadays, and Towy requires a special type of patience to care for and be around, even more so now that she's 15 years old.”

Alexya G.
“Alexya has been sitting for my 2 dogs for the last 5 years and now we have added a 3rd dog to the mix in the last 2 years. She is reliable, dependable and trustworthy. She also adapts to each of my dog's needs. Gratefully, she is also experienced in medications. One of my dogs has cushings disease and Alexya gives her a series of meds throughout the day. Alexya genuinely loves dogs and it is evident by her demeanor towards them and I love her "can do" attitude when she sees my long list of "musts." I trust my dogs when they are affectionate towards her (they run, jump and lick her). Happy customer!”
Glenda G.

Corey F.
“I highly recommend Corey as a dog sitter! He has watched my dogs on multiple occasions while I’ve been on vacation, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he provides. Corey is incredibly responsible, attentive, and caring. He doesn’t just feed and walk my dogs; he also takes the time to give them love, attention, and plenty of pets. Knowing that he stays overnight to ensure they’re comfortable and safe brings me great peace of mind. My dogs absolutely adore him, and it’s clear he genuinely enjoys spending time with them. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like his own, Corey is the perfect choice!”
Adela V.
“Adela took care of my dog for 15 days when I went on an out of state vacation. My dog loved her and did not want her to leave when we returned. She took my dog for daily walks.

I would say without doubt that you can call Adela if you want the best care for your pet!”
