“Megan was wonderful! She watched over my pup for a week while I was visiting family, and safe to say he felt right at home with her! I will definitely be using her services again for any trips we go on!”
“My 3 babies really enjoyed their time with Shaela! I didn't feel worried about leaving them in her care. She took great care of them and I won't hesitate to have them stay with her again in the future.”
“Paula is Wonderful! She took in our sweet old Gigi on short notice, she is a true dog lover and Gigi took to her immediately. Paula sent us numerous updates and pictures throughout Gigi's stay. She gave her affection, attention and a special spot on the couch, she even gave her a bath. I can't say enough great things about how well she cared for our pup and how much I would recommend her to take excellent care of your puppo.”
“Don took really good care of my dog Apollo. Apollo had plenty space to run around and get his energy out. Don has really good communication and was very professional. Highly recommended and Apollo will be back again!”
“This was the second stay for my pup. Nichole sent me pictures of my pup everyday and let me know how my pup was doing. I am so glad to know that my pup is really enjoying staying Nichole's home. After my pup came home, she slept all day long! It was a good sign that she spent all her energy to play! I am so glad! Thank you, Nichole!”
“Sarah was fantastic! Exceptionally kind and was very good with daily update! Highly recommend! Her dog Finn is the perfect playmate even for my exceptionally anxious dog!”
“Started with a welcoming meat and greet with Michelle and her family. My dogs were surprisingly shy. Their family has rescue experience and are patient and loving and work great with the dogs. During our time away we got photos and updates which were great. One of my dogs had a hurt foot prior to me dropping her off. I had no idea what happened. Michelle and family pampered her and treated her foot with a creme and bandage. Very appreciative for the extra attention. I recommend her and her family for other families and certainly would use her again with my dogs”
“Summer was so great! She gave me lots of pictures and updates during our trip and I could tell our pup was well cared for and loved by summer and her family. We would definitely use her again! She does have 2 giant dogs of her own, and they were well mannered and got along well with our much smaller dog!”
“Amber provided frequent updates and reassurance during my pup stay. My pup came home happy and healthy! He enjoyed his time and is right back to his normal routine as if I’ve never left! Amber kept my pups schedule while in her care as well! I highly recommend! There is plenty of space for your pup to roam! Very secure area for your pup as well! Thank you again for taking great care of my pup!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life, starting as a devoted cat mom and later becoming a dog mom as well. Growing up in a military family, I was often trusted to care for the pets of other military families while they were away. That early responsibility taught me not only the basics of pet care, but also how important it is to provide comfort, consistency, and love when their owners can’t be there. As a pet parent myself, I’ve experienced both the deep joy and the heartbreak that comes with loving our fur babies. I’ve watched my own pets grow, thrive, and eventually say goodbye—experiences that have given me a deep understanding of the trust you place in someone when you leave your pet in their care. I’ve even supported one of my own through a battle with cancer, providing attentive, compassionate care every step of the way. I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive for most of the day. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches—they’ll have plenty of supervision, interaction, and comfort throughout their stay. I also have a welcoming home with a fully fenced yard and two young children (ages 4 and 16 months) who are gentle, loving, and already learning how to respectfully interact with animals. Together, we create a warm, family-oriented environment where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Because of these experiences, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, routine care, or a little extra support, you can feel confident knowing they are in loving, capable hands while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and am able to be present throughout the day. I’m already used to a structured schedule that includes feeding, playtime, outdoor time in our fenced yard, and of course plenty of cuddles and attention. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent supervision and companionship, making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and included in the daily rhythm of our home. I build my day around their needs—whether that’s regular potty breaks, exercise, play sessions, or simply relaxing close by. On a weekly basis, pet care is a normal and joyful part of our household. With two young children and our own pets, creating a loving, pet-friendly environment is already part of our lifestyle. Adding another pet into that routine feels seamless, and I make sure each one gets individualized attention, care, and comfort while they’re with us. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. I stick closely to their normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and rest to help them feel comfortable and secure. Pets have access to a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, along with plenty of indoor space for play, relaxation, and cuddles. I also make sure they receive lots of individual attention so they feel right at home. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and low-stress experience where your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy until you return.

From energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets requiring extra patience and attention, I ensure their comfort and well-being. I’m also experienced in administering oral medications, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in capable hands. Whether it's playtime, feeding, or specialized care, I’m here to keep your beloved animals happy, safe, and cared for while you're away! As a full-time pet sitter with wide open availability, pet care is my top priority. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive, reliable care at any time of day, whether it’s morning feedings, midday check-ins, or evening companionship. I can accommodate last-minute requests, extended visits, and customized care routines to ensure pets receive the attention and care they need. With my availability, you can rest assured that your furry, feathered or scaled friends will always have someone to care for them when you’re away. I prioritize safety, trust, and a stress-free environment while caring for pets in their own homes. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I maintain their regular routines to minimize stress and ensure their well-being. From feeding and playtime to keeping pet areas fresh and tidy and providing gentle companionship, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. I take home security seriously, respecting your space and ensuring everything remains just as you left it. With a deep commitment to trust and reliability, I provide pet parents with peace of mind, knowing their beloved animals are in safe, caring hands.

About: To this day any Sarah McLachlan song makes me cry thinking of the ASPCA commercials. I have had pets since before I could walk and not a day goes by that I don't pour all of my love out onto my own pup. Let me help you with yours when you need it! Being a single dog mom I know how hard it is to find "someone" when you just have to work late, or cant get home at lunch or really want to go on that group vacation but can't bring your fur baby.

Weekends are wide open for hotel pet sitting, overnights at your home, walks, hikes, quality time visits for your cat on vacation, etc. I can make my work schedule adjust if needed as well. Currently, I cannot board in my home as my fur baby is older now and not fond of newcomers. I am happy to help at yours (home or hotel stay). I am happy to take my shoes off when I enter, leave a place cleaner than I entered, and treat everything with the utmost respect.

“Michelle is amazing! She welcomed us enthusiastically with very little notice ( the night before needing care when we were in a bind). Michelle arranged a met n greet right away, and although our pup was shy with Michelle at first, our pup came away from doggy daycare with new forever friends! Michelle made our pup feel like she was a well-loved little queen! If Michelle is willing to work with us in the future, we plan to have her caring for our pets regularly. I told Michelle that she is a gem! And she is just that - a rare gem and a kind soul! Michelle cares for her clients pets as if they are her own. Highly recommend Michelle!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them, I’ve always had my own, and honestly, I can’t imagine a house without one. I started helping out neighbors and family with their pets when I was 10, and I’ve been the "go-to" dog sitter for my friends ever since. I’ve handled just about every personality type there is. I treat every dog I watch like they’re part of my own family. I’m 62 years old and work from home so I’m available most days, so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out and play with your pups! Because of my flexible schedule your pet can always talk me into cuddling instead of working. Big bonus is I live in Meridian Ranch. We have a fenced yard and a doggie door to ensure your pet stays safe at all times. We also allow pets on our furniture as well as in the beds….just sayin…..we have two grandchildren who adore dogs and are excited about having them here when they visit. We have had some pets who have peed in the house despite being house broken. If needed we do put belly bands/&or diapers on your pet if they use our carpet/and or furniture instead of outside. We do host up to four pets at a time so there could be a chance that your pet would have a playmate during their stay.

About: For as long as I can remember my family and I have always taken in strays, and even wild animals to care for them. I’ve always had a deep passion and caring for animals, Young or old. It would be a privilege to have someone share their awesome pets with me! I’ve had rodents from hedge hogs and chinchillas all the way to cats, dogs and birds! I’m also experienced with farm animals! Changing their litters, hay or bagging dog poop, You name it! If I am unexperienced in something I am more than happy to learn and acquire a new skill. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats at the moment and it would be great if they can make some friends if your babies need play dates as well :) I’m currently a part time student but taking this summer off to work and have fun! I do have a part time job but I’m more than willing to work around hours :) I usually like to leave my animals with some background music, they’re trained well enough to be left unattended and uncaged, we embrace positive reinforcement and treat our animals as if they were our children! I have experience with all kinds of dogs, from pit bulls, Great Danes, to chihuahuas. We make sure we give them the best kibble we can afford and even contribute natural diets like implementing real raw ingredients (egg, fish,meat, chicken feet etc). Our cats are very much spoiled, all our babies have their own beds, blankets and toys. Taking care of an animal involves trust. doing anything I can to make them feel more comfortable comes easy and it ironically relieves some stress on my end!
About: I have 2 dogs currently, I have had Senior dogs that required shots and medications. I have worked in the medical field for almost 30 years working in the operating room. Shots, medications, CPR certified. I currently watch my 2 grandson's a few days a week, and I am retired, so I have plenty of time to watch your fur baby's. I have a real big back yard that is completely fenced. That way the dogs can play and run around in a safe inverment. I keep fresh water at all times available for them.
About: Hi everyone! I am a passionate animal lover, and knowledgeable caregiver. I have over 22 years of hands on experience. I have picked up tons of knowledge along the way and enjoy broadening my knowledge when it comes to dog nutrition, health, ownership and training. Canine enrichment and exercise is something I find to be both truly beneficial and incredibly important to creating a well balanced dog, and happy/healthy relationship with your dog. With this said, in my home, I offer daily activities/enrichment and exercise for dogs. If you wonder what this looks like, please feel free to reach out! 🙂 Here’s is a little background information about me! I first got involved actively with dogs when I was 10. I showed dogs in 4-H in both confirmation, obedience and agility. I quickly found a passion for dog training as well as behavior modification. I immersed myself with information about training dogs as well as animal psychology. I began working with dogs and their humans to create happy, healthy relationships, as well as educating owners. Such a rewarding experience! For the past 22 years, I have held long term jobs in animal hospitals, dog daycares, pet boutiques, animal shelters, and have been an apprentice/assistant dog trainer for one of KC’s top dog trainers. For me, working with animals has never been enough. I enjoy volunteering in any free time I have to better animals lives. I volunteer at a couple of rescues/humane societies, and really enjoy the wide variety of volunteer opportunities that I am able to do! I am an active foster home for pets with special needs and sometimes litters of kittens/puppies. I also enjoy going on rescue outreach every weekend. When I foster, I have a soft spot for animals that have special needs, as well as senior dogs. I feel like I have seen it all, and am happy to care for dogs who need some tlc! I am pet first aid/cpr certified, and am comfortable and experienced with giving dogs medication, and injections etc. if needed. Pet care is my daily routine! I run a home-based dog boarding, daycare, and training business full-time, so caring for dogs is at the center of everything I do. My days are structured around each dog’s needs—feeding schedules, potty breaks, training sessions, playtime, rest, and any special care they require. Because I only take a limited number of dogs at a time, I’m able to give each one the attention, structure, and affection they need to feel comfortable and thrive. Whether it’s a short stay, a full board and train, or just a fun daycare day, your dog becomes part of my daily rhythm—and part of the household while they’re here. From morning routine to evening wind-down, caring for dogs isn’t just part of my schedule—it is the schedule, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 🐾 Your Dog’s Second Home—Where They’re Treated Like Family Welcome to a home-away-from-home where your dog isn’t just a guest—they’re family. With over 16 years of professional dog training experience and 8 years working in veterinary medicine, I offer a level of care that’s both highly skilled and deeply compassionate.
