About: I've worked as a vet assistant so medications and treatments do not scare me. I have had my own pets my entire life. I can do basic training and work well with pets of all ages. I'm going to take care of them as if they were my own. I work as a Realtor so I have extensive background checks and stick to a strict code of ethics in everything I do. I have flexibility to work with my animals every day and will do the same with you I will follow your rules to a T. I will make sure your pet has all their needs met. From walks, baths if needed, feeding, training and playing I will do whatever it takes to make your loved ones happy and safe

“We were in West Liberty for a wedding and Amanda was willing to come to our Air B&B to let out our dogs the day of the wedding. She stopped by a few days before to meet the dogs which put us all at ease. I would highly recommend Amanda.”

About: I have always been around dogs but have not found my furever friend yet. I enjoy volunteering at animal shelters and watching dogs for friends and coworkers. Hello! As a teacher, I am available after school around 4pm and all the time on the weekends. I enjoy drop ins, walks, and overnight stays. In clients homes & my own, I ensure that the dog has ample human interaction time. I live in an apartment and prefer to watch animals in their own home but they are welcome in my own. On walks, I make sure the dog is secured before heading outside and always make sure there are photos or videos for the owners.

About: We are both retired and love to take care of dogs. We have a five acre farm with 1/2 acre fenced in yard. Our beagle is always happy to have visitors. We are both retired educators so we have plenty of time to dedicate to your babies! We are empty-nesters so your pets will be our children while they are in our home. We live in the country and have a large fenced backyard. We treat our dog like a loving child. We both love having dogs visit and take delicate care of other dogs.

About: I have always grown up with dogs in my house and have experience working with other livestock animals my whole life. I worked at an animal shelter my entire high school career where I have taken care of dogs of all sizes (fed, watered, cleaned up after, played with, bathed, groomed, trained, etc.) as well as administered medications and vaccines. I have experience as a veterinary assistant where I have expanded my pet health skills and knowledge and am able to rightfully care for your pet and notice any strange or indifferent behavior right away! Though I am not a professional trainer, I do have some training experience from my time at the animal shelter and with my own personal animals as well! I love all animals as if they are my own :) I am available any day throughout the week, mornings, afternoons, and/or evenings to help watch after, care for or walk your furry family member! I am able to do anything your pet(s) need throughout the day including feeding, giving medications, taking out for potty breaks and going on walks!

About: I am a mamma to 6 fur babies (4 cats and 2 dogs). I’ve been around animals my whole life. I hope to someday open up a shelter to provide a safe haven for cats and dogs alike while allowing a safe, affordable, fun experience for perspective owners. - Breed restrictions on DOGGIE DAYCARE may apply due to renting. not my choice :( please message for details. - Dogs must be able to get along with other dogs at doggie daycare. - Cats must be litter box trained at daycare. - Puppies are welcome. - Dogs must not pull hard on leash during walks/outdoor play. - All dogs will be kept on leash while outside at doggie daycare. I am available 8am to 5pm weekdays & weekends. (special accommodations can be made if needed). Please feel free to reach out to me to discuss your needs. I have 2 dogs who are super friendly & both love other dogs and cats. I also have four cats who are more than comfortable with other dogs / cats. I have a safe environment and plenty of room for my cats to go during the day if they need to be away from your animals. (In the situation your dog or a cat so don’t get along with cats). I also have two cat trees (more hopefully soon) for the kitties to play on and lounge around. I have and will provide enrichment puzzles and toys for your dogs per your request.

About: I've never not known having a pet! My parents got my first dog 2 days after I was born, and just like in The Secret Life of Pets, we were inseparable! Since then, I have owned several types of species of animals, and ever since I became a dad, my love for animals has grown. All of our friends joke that we run a zoo at our house, but I absolutely love watching the bond between my kids and our pets. We currently have 2 dogs, 2 red-eared sliders, and a hamster. I have experience caring for puppies/kittens, elderly dogs/cats, pregnant dogs/cats, aggressive animals, and animals who need medication administered. I can't wait to love your pet(s) as my own! I'm currently a real estate agent / stay-at-home dad with a very flexible schedule and multiple available sitters with a short notice. Don't be afraid to book last minute! We absolutely believe in the safety for our pets as well as others' pets. My wife and I have been on both ends of the spectrum of having a very obedient, friendly dog, as well as being the owner of a dog that is triggered by unfamiliar faces in human and non-human form! No matter the needs, I will work to achieve them!

About: I have plenty of experience with dog walking, I have also fostered puppies and dogs. Making sure they’re healed and ready for the forever home. I love taking care of animals and I will always treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m currently in school but it’s in the evening. So I set my schedule to work with that. Other than the evenings, I’m open to helping whenever I’m needed. I always want to make sure they’re comfortable, I’m not going to come in and treat this like it’s something for money, I’m going to treat them like they’re my own. Making sure they feel safe and cared about while I also take care of what is needed from me.

“Lauren was very attentive to taking care of our puppy, Daisy. She was a great communicator. She let us know about bathroom breaks and sent update photos. We really appreciated her taking great care of her during the whole duration of check-in time. Definitely would recommend!”
