About: I have over 18 years of experience house and animal sitting from overnights to up to 6 weeks in duration; caring for not only dogs but also horses (full boarding barn to a couple of pasture horses), cats, fish, rabbits, goats, chickens, etc. I know what it's like to worry about my pets when I'm away, so I strive to give top notch care, follow all instructions, and have fun with your dog! All while keeping you updated with pictures/texts on how they're doing. I am happy to provide most any dog/house sitting arrangement, walking/visit or boarding. At our country home we have a peaceful and fun environment and private large field that is kept mowed. Your dog will be supervised very closely. Non smoking home. Thank you for considering me; I hope you have a great day! I am a stay at home mom to one and I am home most or all of the day. We are very flexible but also stay on schedule and can accommodate your dog's routine. We live in the country and have ample space for private walks as well as a large mowed field. I supervise very closely and am diligent about keeping your dog as safe as possible on leash while still having fun and exercising. I will feed and take dog out following all instructions.
“Alec was great! He kept us updated, brought in mail, and cleaned while we were gone. Buddha was very sweet and calm and got along well with our two dogs. Would definitely recommend having Alec and Buddha to anyone and would book again in the future to take care of our fur babies.”
About: I have lived with animals of all kinds for as long as I remember, ever since I was about 5 I would help my parents feed and take care of the animals, and I still help with many thing weither it's bathing, taking on walks, giving hair cuts, giving vaccinations, cutting nails, or giving medication of all sorts. I am currently a senior in high school so on weekdays I have to wait till 4:00 to love your fur-babys as much as you do. I will give your fur-babys the same care and love as I give my pets at home, while also meeting your specific care expectations to keep your fur-babys safe and happy.
“Jess was absolutely AMAZING!!! My pups Henry & Hazel just ADORE Jess ❤️. During my time away, Jesswas very communicative and sent so many pics (which I loved); not only that, she also replaced any food she ate and cleaned not only after herself, but also some things for me. Jess is one of a kind and I am so happy my pups and I found her ❤️”

She has experience taking care of several types of animals in my house including; cats, dogs, birds, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, bearded dragon, leopard gecko, and mice. She is very responsible, reliable and caring.”
