“Gabrielle took great care of our dog, Foxy. We received updates and pictures throughout the weekend. With the beautiful weather, Foxy got to go on a long walk and to the Vet's Home. We will definitely be utilizing Gabrielle's service again.”
“Alicyn was excellent with Zeta! I needed a last minute place to board Zeta and Alicyn was gracious and flexible and so attentive to Zeta. From the pictures, Zeta enjoyed the walks, running in the backyard, playing with Mable- Alicyn’s dog- and being loved on! Thank you Alicyn!”

About: My husband and I have taken care of dogs for over 50 years. We have a fenced in back yard, We prefer one or two dogs at time, as our house is smaller. We will not watch Beagles , as we have had so bad luck with them. Pets must come with their current dog tags. My husband and I are retired. We go camping every couple of weeks in the summer. We do not travel much, and would love to watch your dog. We have a fenced in backyard. Two back porches, and can either kennel your dog or let them roam our house. Would rather have dogs no bigger than 40 pounds as our house is small. Our male Aussie gets along with other dogs. I can bathe and brush your dog if needed.

About: Growing up on a farm, I have always had a passion for taking care of various kinds of animals, but particularly cats and dogs. I have 10+ years of experience dog and cat sitting for others and I thoroughly enjoy meeting new furry friends! I have lots of time to cuddle and play with your pet(s) throughout the day. My work schedule allows for morning, midday and evening walks during the weekdays and full time attention on the weekends! My home has a large fenced in backyard suitable for small, medium, or large dogs. All doors to the outside of the home and gates are kept closed at all time to ensure no one escapes! Pets are given free rein of my home - pets may be easily crated upon request by owner, but is certainly not a requirement.
About: I've experienced with most kind of animals and have a vet technician certificate for both large and small animal. I work with money animals and there's not much that will scare me off <3 I'm fresh out of college and I'm available almost always, I genuinely feel like taking care of animals is a reward rather than a chore, Please tell me even if your creatures are weird little stick bugs, birds Or a kangaroo! For whatever animal you have please inform me in advance of behaviors that I might need to keep an eye on or if they have medical needs or just general needs. If you have a cat who's a Maine Coon that needs a lot of brushing but is sassy when getting brushed I would like to know in advance. I will not discriminate even if your pet may be a bit aggressive to new people I just want to know for everyone's safety going into this and to ensure your pets have the best experience possible. Frequent bathroom breaks are given however if your animal has different dietary needs I would also like to know that. I'm well aware that some animals may not get along with one another while eating even if they get along fine during the day and I am also aware that some may eat non-Stop with food in front of them and for that I would have to limit their food to meal times. Everything I ask is for the welfare of your pets.

At home, I walk my dog and have a chain for him in the yard.
About: I have a high-anxiety Shiba, so I understand how important patience and routine are. I take time to read each dog’s body language and adjust to keep activities calm, safe, and comfortable.
