About: Growing up, we always had dogs. We had 3 miniature schnauzers Abbey, Lola, and Boujee along with our Old English Bulldog Kate (who also thinks she is a schnauzer). I currently have a sassy miniature schnauzer of my own, Margie, whom I love to do everything with. She is great around other animals. We would love to have your pups come stay with us! I am home and available during the summer, so my schedule is very open and flexible! Your pet is guaranteed to be loved and well taken care of! I have a fenced backyard, with lots of room for all the zoomies! My dog is super friendly and would love to meet new friends. Your dog will have a ball with us!

About: 🐶 I've been called to care for dogs. The connection is inexplicable. The love is genuine 😎 🐕 🐶 Clients trust me because 1. their dogs love me 2. Im responsible and answer my phone 3. I provide a quiet, safe environment, with a big fenced yard 4. I send lots of pics and vids while their dogs are in my care Pets are my passion. This is what I do. I have plenty of time to give your pet a vacation or even a mini doggy boot camp depending on your wishes. Depending on client wishes, I provide: -lots of exercise -training (basic) -grooming (basic) -dog socializing This is a home, not a kennel. My home has a very loving and positive energy. I bought my home because the layout makes it very easy to keep dogs on one side of the home and cats on the other--CATS AND DOGS WILL ALWAYS BE APART 🙏 The living space of the house is 2,200 sq ft. This house is a corner lot and has MANY windows! 🪟 Lots for the pets to see outside 🌳 🏡 Plus I have ceiling to floor windows that the pets especially love. SEE MY PICS!

She takes him on trails sometimes, but he’s also just so happy being at her house with her and her dogs. They play a lot! I also love the cute pictures and videos she se sends throughout the day!”

“Tiffany was awesome! She was so loving and caring with my Rocky! I will definitely be using her again in the future. Her 2 dogs are amazing as well and good companions!”


About: They call me Nana!! I have tons of experience caring for little ones of all sizes and breeds. It's a privilege to nurture fur babies and connect with their unique personalities! My goal is to provide a calm environment with a consistent schedule of meals, walks, play time and lots of belly rubs! Your pet will experience a child and pet free home and walks in the solitude park around the way. Most important your loved one will have my undivided attention and quality care! I work from home with a flexible schedule and therefore would be fully available to spend time with your pup. If I needed to step out the time would be limited. During the time that your pet would be under my care my routine is to take a long walk once a day which your pet would accompany. This is in addition to as many potty breaks as needed along with playtime. I recommend that the pup owner bring a bed, crate, toys and treats for pup to feel right at home.
