Drop-in visits, Dog Walking/hikes, Mobile dog training/Enrichment (FUN!!)/Pack walks, day care, and day training programs! I do this full time as a licensed, insured, and bonded pet sitter, dog walker, dog trainer, and pet caregiver as Influential K9, LLC. I also have experience being a kennel manager for a dog daycare/boarding facility! Different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities up to 15-20 dogs some days at a time. Our home has half an acre of wooded area for sniffing and walking! And .25-.75 acre to run and play! We are adding new toys and activities every week!

When working with you and your animal companions you will always get photo updates, report cards, and safety as a priority! -My special skills include being able to provide enrichment and safe pet care practices, such as double leash retention, ice sheets during hotter months, water, and a first aid kit on me at all times during walks/visits. I can provide certain medical requests (such as oral medication or injections). I grew up with dogs (small, medium, and LARGE), cats, birds, small companion animals, fish, and horses over the years. I do this full-time and have plenty of availability! I can usually fill most accommodations and requests based on availability when a booking is requested! When caring for a client’s animal companion in their homes, I always make sure to conduct a consultation (meet and greet) so that I am introduced to the companions before providing services. This ensures that your animal companions feel safe and secure with someone they are familiar with while I am in their home. This is used to establish what boundaries and needs your animal companion needs from me while you are away. Safety is the most important aspect of my job for your animal companions. All services are base rates.

“Miranda and her family took exceptional care of my two dogs and treated them like they were a part of their family while my husband and I were away. Miranda sent me pictures and let me know how they were doing periodically which was greatly appreciated. She was also able to accept the booking with short notice and her rates were very affordable. I highly recommend Miranda if you are in need of a dog sitter and I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future! Thanks Miranda!”

“This was my first time using the app, and I couldn’t be happier with the care Laura provided. She was friendly, attentive, and a pleasure to communicate with throughout my dog’s stay. I really appreciated the regular photos and updates—it gave me such peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I would happily use her services again and highly recommend her.”

Rhode G.

“Stephen was phenomenal with our pup!! Extremely communicative and friendly. We got multiple photos and videos each day! He took him on walks every morning and let him play with all the tennis balls he could find! This was our dogs first time staying with someone other than family and it seemed like a vacation - we were afraid he wouldn’t want to come home. Highly recommend Stephen and we will definitely use his dog sitting services the next time we go away.”

“Our son was getting married in upstate NY so we needed a sitter for our dog Kai while we were away. We have always left Kai with either family or friends, but since everyone we knew was attending the wedding I reached out to Laura. We set up a meet and greet -I knew from the first time I met her that she was a perfect match. She was warm and kind - obviously a dog lover - and she made a connection with our normally shy dog right away. She asked a lot of questions about Kai's habits - she wanted to make sure she followed his normal daily routine so that he would be comfortable in her home.. Her house is beautiful and she has a large, fenced in back yard that allowed Kai to run free in a safe environment. Laura took him for a 3 mile daily walk, and sent many pictures and updates the whole 6 days she had him. He became a part of her family❤️ I cannot say enough about how happy we were to have found her. She gave us peace of mind that Kai was well loved and cared for so we were able to enjoy the wedding without any worries. I would HIGHLY recommend Laura to anyone looking for a sitter!!”

Kathi H.

“Cailey took care of my senior cat for an extended time and took great care of her. Cailey kept me updated on how my cat was doing, including for a period of time where my cat wasn’t eating as much. My cat will do this on occasion so I wasn’t concerned, and appreciated Cailey noticing and checking in with me about that. I would absolutely work with Cailey again, thank you!”

Jen K.

“I was very grateful to have found Olivia to care for my dog on a short notice. I appreciate her communication and friendliness, as well as her care to my dog.”

About: I offer structured, enrichment-focused boarding and daycare in my home, with an emphasis on helping each dog feel safe, understood, and cared for. I’ve been training dogs since 2022 and welcome dogs of all training backgrounds, meeting every dog and owner with compassion, respect, and empathy. I’m comfortable using a variety of tools, including harnesses, e-collars, and prong collars, based on what works best for your dog. I’m a former Veterinary Technician with four years of experience, and I’m confident administering medications, caring for senior dogs, and closely monitoring health and behavior. Your dog’s comfort and well-being are always my top priorities. Boarding includes a structured walk, play and yard time, place/relaxation work, and a hike. For safety and peace of mind, dogs are crated when unsupervised, so boarding clients must be crate trained. All dogs must be up to date on vaccinations, including rabies and distemper. To ensure the best fit and answer any questions, all new clients are required to complete an in-person meet and greet prior to booking. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day and able to give dogs consistent attention, structure, and care. Our days include structured walks, enrichment activities, play and yard time, relaxation/place work, and hikes when appropriate. I closely monitor each dog’s behavior, energy level, and comfort, and I tailor care to their individual needs. With my training background and veterinary experience, I’m able to provide attentive, knowledgeable care while keeping dogs safe, calm, and happy in my home. In my home, dogs are cared for in a safe, structured, and comfortable environment. I have kennels in a variety of sizes to ensure every dog can rest comfortably and securely when needed. On days when outdoor activities aren’t possible due to weather, I provide indoor options such as treadmills and a variety of interactive enrichment activities to keep dogs mentally and physically engaged. When weather allows, I take advantage of nearby trails and parks to give dogs safe, enriching adventures that suit their energy level and needs.
