About: We love dogs and your little one will receive lots of love and one on one attention as we welcome him or her into our home. Our little Ronnie loves to play with dogs his own size or smaller. We don't have a fenced in yard, which means we will always be playing with and alongside your dog keeping him or her safe and happy and comfortable. We love to walk your dog also so he or she will get plenty of potty breaks and time to smell and get to know our neighborhood! We only care for one dog at a time, besides our own little guy Ronnie... so the two will become best friends! Faye is a full-time stay at home dog mom and my husband Rob helps take over dog care responsibilities after and before he goes to work. We make it a team effort so your dog will always have his or her needs met and get maximum love and attention. Safety comes first with your pet. We have a home that is safe and perfect for your little dog. We will welcome them into our family and treat them gently and with compassion... realizing that it's tough being away from your owners for a few days. We will love your puppy as much as we love our own Ronnie!
“Nathan was very good with my dogs. He responded quickly to all my messages and sent plenty of pics / updates about them during the stay. I would definitely recommend him to others.”
“Amanda’s communication was excellent and we discussed my dog’s feeding schedule and needs and she made sure to accommodate. I also received several cute photos during his stay. I could tell he was happy when I went to pick him up. Definitely recommend!”
“Steve was fantastic for Danny Boy! Several updates with photos each day and very conscious of Danny’s needs. Prompt replies to texts and questions. Daily walks at nearby parks and evening fetch in the yard. Steve’s home is well-suited for hosting animals and Danny was very comfortable. I picked up a healthy and happy boy on the final day!”
“Loved the consistent updates and communication on our furbabys. Lot of photos were sent! Thank you so much and we will be coming again soon with us having to do a lot of traveling!”
“My dog Dash loves going over to Rachel’s house to play with her dogs and of course to go see Rachel! She always makes sure that Dash gets enough play time and goes on plenty of walks. Dash also loves car rides and gets to tag along whenever she has quick errands to run, and he often gets spoiled with pup cups through the Starbucks drive-thru. With my permission and built trust, I have allowed her to take him anywhere to run errands, visit friends, and family. Thank you so much Rachel for taking care of Dash!”
“Shawna and Hannah were wonderful sitters for our dog. They kept her entertained and she made herself right at home with them. She loved it so much she didn’t want to leave when we picked her up! Will definitely be booking with them again, and would recommend them to anyone looking for communicative and reliable sitters.”
“Shannon and her family were so amazing with our pups! We got daily updates with pictures of them enjoying their time away from home. Definitely would recommend for anyone and will return the next time we someone to watch our pups!”
“Emily did an awesome job of taling care of Lucy. She sent me daily photos and text updates on how everything was going. Tgis was a cery short notice request and Emily took it all in stride and made it happen. We will use her again”
“Trish was amazing with Murphy, our 11 month old Lab. We had never left him with anyone other than doggy daycare and she made sure we had all our questions answered before and during his Monday-Friday stay! She gave us lots of updates, pics and videos and were pretty sure he would have stayed there forever!! We will be using her every time she lets us :)”
“I was nervous using Rover as it was our first time. Aimee watched my dog for 9 nights and she and her family did an amazing job looking after our dog, including walks and playtime. I highly recommend Aimee as she is a caring and compassionate provider.”
“Rizzo had a great day hanging out with Adela and her fam. Lots of outdoor time in her amazing backyard. Great communication with Adela. Thanks for another great stay! 🐾”
“Excellent care and attentive! Nicole very much loves pets and provided such good care for our cat in her lovely home while we were gone all week. We loved getting updates and photos! Stinger felt right at home there!”

About: I have had cats as pets my entire life! I have a vast amount of experience with cats of all different temperaments/personalities, ages, and needs. I also have experience administering medication! I adore cats and kittens, and I look forward to taking care of your furry friends!
“Madison helped considerably to keep my cat from having additional surgery on an ear hemotoma. I have no experience with using a plastic cone used for pets who have surgeries. Madison was able to provide experience on how to use them and gave me education on how to put one on my cat myself. She also was able administer oral medications my cat needed for her recovery. My cat needs more time to recover, but I feel more confident with being able to care for her myself with the help of Madison.”
“Avri was perfect for our little puppy!! She brought her 1 year old dog to socialize and even sent me pictures and video updates from their play time! We can’t wait to hire her in the future for our fur baby!”
“Great to have a dependable and caring person watch our cats while we play in the sun on the beach. Appreciate the pictures and checking in with us. Thanks for taking great care of our fur babies, Shelley!”
“Ashleigh went above and beyond. We truly cannot say enough good words about our experience or her care. We needed help in the eleventh hour in order to go on our honeymoon. She was AMAZING and we could really enjoy our time away knowing she would take great care of our cat. He needs insulin every twelve hours and she never missed a single shot. She played with him, cuddled him and just overall did an excellent job. So flexible when certain needs changed and very understanding. We would 100000% book her again.”
“You went above and beyond. Very punctual too. My cats didn’t hide from you and that is HUGE. I know you have a love and a heart for animals. Thank you so much for caring for my babies . You were amazing ! 💕”
“Hailey went above and beyond! We loved getting the updates and photos! She asked great questions and made sure our loved ones were well cared for while we were gone! Definitely highly recommend Hailey!!”

“Emily was super great with my pup! She took him early in the morning and she & her dogs wore out mine! I have never seen my 9 month old dog so tired and worn out. She took lots of pictures and replied quickly throughout the days!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and it exceeded our expectations. Ali did a great job caring for our 4 1/2 year old black lab, George. Ali was easy to get in touch with and attended to George’s medical issues requiring meds and exercise restrictions. George was clearly well cared for and loved.? Highly recommended!”

“Trish is a dog whisperer! I am in IC from Colorado to help my mom with surgery and needed a place for my rowdy 8 month old Aussie/Great Pyrenees to play during the day. Trish loved her like her own pup and sent lots of updates. Hazel came home tired and smiling every day.”
“Our goldendoodle Gus had a wonderful day with Shannon and her husband! Thank you for making Gus feel welcome in your beautiful home. He was one tired pup when he got home from all the walks and playtime with the stuffed toys!”

About: I've been taking care of my mom's dog when she is out of town for over 10 years. My brother recently got a puppy and I have added her to my list! Dogs are near and dear to my heart and are treated just like a child on our home! I am a stay at home mom to our 2 year old. We are generally not gone for more than a couple of hours, if at all. We live in a nice quiet town and go for walks often. We have a very shaded front yard that we are in a lot. We take walks often and live in a nice town. Our yard is not fenced in.
About: Family and Friends have called me the “dog whisperer”, because I am able to connect with their pets so easily. I feel pets are such a big part of your family; your baby, your little one, or your child almost. You would be entrusting me with the care of this most precious part of your family. I love to be down on the floor giving the fur babies my undivided attention … whether it be petting, playing, belly scratching, brushing, or loving on your fur baby. I Love to be face-to-face and making a connection with the pets. I am also a walker myself, so I I love to be outside walking your pets. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. My schedule is able to be put on hold for periods of time, if more time and attention are required or needed. I am able to leave to walk your fur baby, pet-sit at your place, or take care of your fur baby at my home. Pet care is as on-hands and giving as much attention to your fur baby as you wish. I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.
“My 9 year old, handicapped, German Shepard, little lady had an awesome time with Aryl, her pack and her family! We've already booked another stay. 🥰 This stay took place over overnight for 7 consecutive nights while I was at work. This was the first time not to allow her to stay at home alone. After a few rough nights alone, getting stuck a couple times, and then not able to make it through the night without apotty break, I knew I needed to find someone. Because Miss Black has lost use of her hind legs and is now in a wheelchair her care is a little more complex. Aryl administered her medication, assisted as needed going potty, and kept her cleaned up and smelling fresh every morning. This has been such a relief knowing she is in good hands. It gave me such peace of mind while I was working. Aryl didn't have any problems reading her communication signs. Even when she had other Rover dogs over, she was able to give Miss Black everything she needed. I believe Aryl's past experiences have given her the insight she needed to provide great care. Instead of wondering what I was going to walk into after a long shift, I was greeted by my smiling pup right inside the door.”
About: I’ve taken care of all ages of dogs. I have been around dogs my entire life from raising puppies to taking care of elderly dogs. I have given medication to dogs as well as help train them. I pride myself in my patience with animals as well as my love for them! I currently work from home so I am always available for your dog as well as my dog too! There will be little to no time that I will be away from the house while pet sitting for you! Your dog will be treated just like my own!

About: I am a former owner of 2 furbabies - Nala and Kara. Nala is a German Shepherd and Kara is an Alaskan Husky. I have cared from them since they were 8 weeks. Kara is in doggie heaven after losing a intense and short battle with a blood deficiency disorder. My parents look after Nala. I am able to walk, dogsit, train and feed dogs medicine of needed. I also own a horse named Maya that is boarded in a stable. I'm most definitely an animal-lover. I'm very flexible with scheduling and bookings. I work 40 hours/week and split my time between going to the gym and seeing Maya at the stable, and playing tennis. I recently moved to QC for my career and would like to meet more people.
About: I’ve had a family dog since my sister brought home our first pet a dashound puppy. In the following years I’ve had 7 more dogs to love and care for. I now have a little Cairn Terrier mix who adores other dogs and is very gentle. I will make sure your pet is safe and well cared for in my home. He/she will be fed, walked, etc. according to your instructions. I never worry about accidents. We will walk outside weather permitting and/or just hang out with plenty of cuddles and fun. I will contact you as many times as you want during the time your pet is with me. I can administer meds if needed. I am a retired teacher and I’m home most days and evenings for drop in care or overnight care. I will follow all instructions you have and you may contact me any time of the day or night. I will make sure your pet feels safe and cared for with as many potty breaks as needed. Your pet will be fed & watered on the schedule you have at home. I have many toys available or you can bring your own. Treats provided at your instruction. Exercise and walks given once a day. I'm a retired teacher so I'm home day and night unless for errands. I watch Dog TV and other dog shows if your pet enjoys that. If I walk the pet I will need a good leash & collar. Also my home is pet proofed meaning nothing is on the floor or counter that they could get into.
About: I have been talking care of family and friends animals since the age of 10 and still to this day. From walking to feeding to bathing, and grooming I have done it all.

“Erik was so helpful, as I can walk some of my dogs but not all. He took the one that I couldn't & gave him a good workout. He communicated well, asking if could come early as his schedule opened up. I will use him again.”
About: I have had dogs and cats since I was born. My parents share the same love for animals as I do, and I think I love them more honestly! I’ve dealt with losing a pet, and adding new additions to the family. In my eyes no breed of dog or cat is superior and I would love to meet all the pets I can!! I work part-time so I will put the days I am available into the schedule! On my days off I would be more than happy to take your dogs for walks or do drop in visits with dogs and cats! I also marked all days as available because my hours can be funky and I can sometimes work only 4 hour shifts. I take my dogs for walks frequently. They are a bit stubborn sometimes (especially my olde english) but after we get walking they love being outside! The summer heat gets to them both though, so I would love to get outside!
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even small pets like mice, rats, hamsters, and fish, I bring a lifetime of knowledge and passion to pet care. I’m a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) with 7 years of veterinary experience and 1 year working in a pet resort, so I’m skilled at safely handling pets of all temperaments — from nervous pups to the spiciest of cats (I have one of my own!). I’m also experienced with administering medications and providing calm, compassionate care to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently not working, so my schedule is completely open. I have plenty of time to provide your pets with all the attention, care, and love they need. With my veterinary technician background, safety and trust are always my top priorities. While in your home, I provide a calm, secure environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m skilled in reading body language, handling nervous or fractious pets, and administering medications when needed. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with plenty of patience, compassion, and attention to their unique needs.
“Madison has been a life saver! Due to some recent life changes, I was worried that I might have to surrender my dog Tripp because of my long work shifts. Madison is making it possible for me to keep Tripp by walking him and giving him a potty break while I'm at work. Madison has shown great communication and has been extremely reliable. I would highly recommend!”
About: I have experience pet sitting as well as currently working at a Doggy Daycare/Boardinh facility! I grew up on a farm, so I am used to working with animals, and I also have pets of my own! I have taken care of a large variety of pets, from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats. I am also used to giving medication to pets that require it! I currently am working part time at a pet care facility, so I would love to incorporate more pet care into my life! I am happy to help wherever I can, however early or late needed! I have a great ability to read a pets body language and help them get used to me when visiting them in home. I also understand boundaries and love walking pets, while also keeping them under control and safe!
“Thanks so much for always taking such great care of Bella! I have absolute confidence in Ashleigh's care and commitment to giving Bella the BEST experience every time!”
About: I’ve been around and taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I believe pets deserve a high quality of care. I have adopted dogs and cats in the past. At the moment I only have cats and miss having a doggy friend to walk and give rubs. I am comfortable with all sizes of animals and whatever special needs they may have, just wanna keep the fur babies happy. Currently my schedule allows me to be available: Saturdays and Sundays 10am-7pm Mondays-Friday 8am-6pm If you need different time accommodations message me and I can see what I can do. I don’t offer pet sitting in my home because of my 3 cats. I don’t want to create a stressful environment for any animals. In my clients home I will make sure they have plenty of exercise thru play and going for walks, clean water and sufficient food (accommodating special diet if necessary). Provide a safe environment for them to feel comfortable. I will abide to any and all rules the client has for their home and will keep my own footprint in their home small and clean up after myself.
About: Welcome to BarkBnB, where pups come to stay, play, and feel right at home. 🐾 I’m a work from home dog lover and proud pet parent to my two dogs, Onix and Eevee. Yes, there’s a little Pokémon energy in this house, playful, friendly, and always ready for the next adventure. When your dog stays with us, they won’t be stuck waiting around for attention. Since I work from home, they’ll have companionship throughout the day, regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, and plenty of love. I want every pup to feel safe, comfortable, and included like part of the family. We also have a large fenced-in yard that’s perfect for zoomies, fetch, sniffing, sunbathing, and getting out that extra energy. Whether your dog is an active adventurer or a professional couch cuddler, I’ll match their vibe and make sure they get the care, exercise, and attention they need. You’ll also never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I send daily pictures and videos so you can see the tail wags, playtime, nap spots, and happy moments for yourself. What your dog can expect: 🐾 A safe, welcoming home environment 🎾 Plenty of exercise and supervised outdoor play 🏡 A large fenced-in yard for fun and freedom 📸 Daily photo and video updates 💻 Constant attention from a work from home sitter 🐶 Friendly dog company with Onix and Eevee 💤 Cozy overnight care that feels like a staycation Think of it as a doggy vacation, with more belly rubs, better snacks, and a lot less stress for you. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine because I’m home, available, and already living a dog-friendly lifestyle. My schedule gives me the flexibility to build the day around the pets in my care — whether that means extra potty breaks, play sessions in the yard, walks, feeding schedules, cuddle time, or just being nearby so they feel settled and secure. I’m not someone who squeezes pet care in around a busy day away from home. It’s part of the rhythm here. Dogs get attention throughout the day, plenty of chances to burn off energy, and a calm home environment where they can relax between playtime. I also make updates part of the routine, so owners can expect daily pictures and videos that show how their pet is doing, not just a quick “everything is fine.” My goal is to make each stay feel easy, active, safe, and reassuring from drop-off to pick-up. treat every pet like family and focus on creating a calm, comfortable experience tailored to their personality and routine. Since I work from home, dogs get plenty of attention throughout the day and are rarely left alone. Between supervised outdoor time in the large fenced yard, walks, play, enrichment activities, and downtime, I aim to make their stay feel safe, fun, and low-stress. I also know how important communication is while you’re away, so I send regular photo and video updates to keep owners connected and reassured.

I also have volunteered for the humane society, and have done animal rescue. I am also am certified in animal reiki! I will treat you fur babies like my own fur babies.

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve owned and cared for both small and large breeds, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I spent years volunteering with All Breed Rescue & Training in Colorado, where I gained experience supporting rescued dogs. For a year, I traveled across the country providing in-home pet care through TrustedHousesitters, staying with pets in exchange for room and board. This allowed me to care for dogs in many different homes, routines, and regions—learning how important consistency, communication, and trust are when owners are away. Today, I share my home with my own small dog, so I understand firsthand how much your pet means to you. Whether your dog needs playtime, structured walks, companionship, or just a calm and reliable presence, I treat every animal like they’re part of my family. I currently work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available for drop in visits and walks in the middle of the day and check in on your baby. I treat every dog like my own but also respect every dog's individual needs. Whatever approach or structure is needed to make your pet happy, I am happy to follow.

About: Hello everyone! My name is Emily and I am a huge animal lover. I am located in Cedar Rapids and almost always available. I have about 15 years of experience with both cats & dogs and have 4 dogs of my own. I have 3 little girls who are 5, 4, and 9 months 😊 We live in a ranch style home and have a fenced in backyard. I am an active person and will give your pet plenty of love and attention. I will also take dogs on walks if they enjoy that. I have never had an owner unhappy with their pets stay. I have a Facebook page as well with pictures, information, and reviews. Please feel free to call or text with any questions or to book. I work from home so I will be there most of the time to make sure you fur baby gets plenty of attention and play time! I have a fenced in yard so dogs can be out there and play around as much as they want to when we’re home. If they enjoy playing with other dogs I have 1 bigger one and 3 smaller ones. They will be crated whenever we are not home to ensure they’re safe unless they’re used to free roaming and won’t have accidents or be destructive.
About: I have always had a strong passion and love for animals. I worked in a veterinary clinic for a months and I absolutely loved it! I have a dog and a cat of my own, i walk my dog daily and i take care of my animals every morning and night. I make sure they have food, water, a clean litter box, and enough love. I make sure that they are taken care of food wise, bathroom, toys, treats, and I give them enough love and attention that they deserve.
About: I have worked for a pet care company as one of their most valuable and trusted caregivers. Working with dogs, cats, and other pets of varying sizes and temperaments. I am comfortable with any breed and don't discriminate based on breed. Something that I've been told by owners and coworkers alike is that I truly care for the animals and I take ownership of not only the care I provide but the pets wellbeing. Simply put I'll give your pet(s) the same love and attention you would. I'll go the extra mile to make sure that your pet is happy and healthy, and I'll make sure you always feel like you've got the best knowledge of what we've been up to. I have a love for animals that allows me to take care of even the less enjoyable parts of caring for them, and communication skills that will never leave you wanting for more. I work twelve hour shifts three days a week so I’m busy when I’m working those shifts but like to fill my days off from that with my pets and other people’s. I’m big on following whatever your routine is so there’s no question about how safe we’re staying and it makes for pets feeling much more settled and comfortable themselves.
About: I have a funny farm on 10 acres outside of Shueyville. My dogs run freely but I’m happy to keep your pet on a leash as I live by a busy road. I pride myself on taking care of your fur baby like I care for mine. I am home full time so am very attentive and able to have a flexible schedule to meet your needs. I enjoy going for walks and it’s always double the enjoyment when I have a walking buddy! My guests are treated with the same care that I provide for my own animals and of course I am always happy to accommodate specific needs or requests as well.

“Travis and Danielle were awesome! We instantly felt comfortable leaving our pups (2 medium sized dogs) when we met them the first time. They updated us with lots of pics of them playing and hanging out with the pups. We will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future.”
“Ali took care of our 1.5 year old weimaraner for an overnight. Provided multiple walks and photo updates. Took the dog with her on errands when our dog was exhibiting stress symptoms when left behind”

“Nathan was very good with my dogs. He responded quickly to all my messages and sent plenty of pics / updates about them during the stay. I would definitely recommend him to others.”
“Steve was fantastic for Danny Boy! Several updates with photos each day and very conscious of Danny’s needs. Prompt replies to texts and questions. Daily walks at nearby parks and evening fetch in the yard. Steve’s home is well-suited for hosting animals and Danny was very comfortable. I picked up a healthy and happy boy on the final day!”
“Shawna and Hannah were wonderful sitters for our dog. They kept her entertained and she made herself right at home with them. She loved it so much she didn’t want to leave when we picked her up! Will definitely be booking with them again, and would recommend them to anyone looking for communicative and reliable sitters.”
“Shannon and her family were so amazing with our pups! We got daily updates with pictures of them enjoying their time away from home. Definitely would recommend for anyone and will return the next time we someone to watch our pups!”
“Emily did an awesome job of taling care of Lucy. She sent me daily photos and text updates on how everything was going. Tgis was a cery short notice request and Emily took it all in stride and made it happen. We will use her again”
“Trish was amazing with Murphy, our 11 month old Lab. We had never left him with anyone other than doggy daycare and she made sure we had all our questions answered before and during his Monday-Friday stay! She gave us lots of updates, pics and videos and were pretty sure he would have stayed there forever!! We will be using her every time she lets us :)”
“I was nervous using Rover as it was our first time. Aimee watched my dog for 9 nights and she and her family did an amazing job looking after our dog, including walks and playtime. I highly recommend Aimee as she is a caring and compassionate provider.”
“Rizzo had a great day hanging out with Adela and her fam. Lots of outdoor time in her amazing backyard. Great communication with Adela. Thanks for another great stay! 🐾”
“Excellent care and attentive! Nicole very much loves pets and provided such good care for our cat in her lovely home while we were gone all week. We loved getting updates and photos! Stinger felt right at home there!”
“Paul and his son did an amazing job caring for my dog! I felt like we were long lost friends by the time I left when I dropped Kitty off because they are so personable and kind! Paul sent videos and kept in contact with me throughout her stay. Paul went above and beyond by making Kitty some homemade food when I miscalculated and she ran out. I would hands down recommend Paul to anyone looking for a sitter that pays individual attention to your fur baby!”
“We think Erin is great and would book again. It’s nice knowing you can leave town and your pet is well taken care of. Erin sent us pictures of Winston while we were away and that was so nice because we sure missed our boy! When we got home Winston got to play with other pups and he loves that, I think he was sad he had to come home.”
“Obie was well taken care of and he seemed to have a good time, I say Aurora has a great understanding of animal handling. She took him on short notice, I would recommend her expertise to anyone who asks.”
“Chloe’s kennels were perfect for my pupper. Plenty of space to run around and the kennels were separated by a fence so he was able to smell and greet the other dogs. He slept the entire day after he got home! Will use again!”
“Pip had a wonderful time at Emily’s home with her and her Fiancés dog Frankie! Emily was flexible with scheduling pickup and drop off times and sent plenty of fun photos! Pip will be visiting again!”
About: Welcome to BarkBnB, where pups come to stay, play, and feel right at home. 🐾 I’m a work from home dog lover and proud pet parent to my two dogs, Onix and Eevee. Yes, there’s a little Pokémon energy in this house, playful, friendly, and always ready for the next adventure. When your dog stays with us, they won’t be stuck waiting around for attention. Since I work from home, they’ll have companionship throughout the day, regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, and plenty of love. I want every pup to feel safe, comfortable, and included like part of the family. We also have a large fenced-in yard that’s perfect for zoomies, fetch, sniffing, sunbathing, and getting out that extra energy. Whether your dog is an active adventurer or a professional couch cuddler, I’ll match their vibe and make sure they get the care, exercise, and attention they need. You’ll also never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I send daily pictures and videos so you can see the tail wags, playtime, nap spots, and happy moments for yourself. What your dog can expect: 🐾 A safe, welcoming home environment 🎾 Plenty of exercise and supervised outdoor play 🏡 A large fenced-in yard for fun and freedom 📸 Daily photo and video updates 💻 Constant attention from a work from home sitter 🐶 Friendly dog company with Onix and Eevee 💤 Cozy overnight care that feels like a staycation Think of it as a doggy vacation, with more belly rubs, better snacks, and a lot less stress for you. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine because I’m home, available, and already living a dog-friendly lifestyle. My schedule gives me the flexibility to build the day around the pets in my care — whether that means extra potty breaks, play sessions in the yard, walks, feeding schedules, cuddle time, or just being nearby so they feel settled and secure. I’m not someone who squeezes pet care in around a busy day away from home. It’s part of the rhythm here. Dogs get attention throughout the day, plenty of chances to burn off energy, and a calm home environment where they can relax between playtime. I also make updates part of the routine, so owners can expect daily pictures and videos that show how their pet is doing, not just a quick “everything is fine.” My goal is to make each stay feel easy, active, safe, and reassuring from drop-off to pick-up. treat every pet like family and focus on creating a calm, comfortable experience tailored to their personality and routine. Since I work from home, dogs get plenty of attention throughout the day and are rarely left alone. Between supervised outdoor time in the large fenced yard, walks, play, enrichment activities, and downtime, I aim to make their stay feel safe, fun, and low-stress. I also know how important communication is while you’re away, so I send regular photo and video updates to keep owners connected and reassured.
