My dog Rylee had a great two nights with Tracy. Loves having other dogs to play with. She also loves the home environment much better than a boarding facility. Tracy will be my first choice anytime I need boarding for my pup.

I can't say enough about how much peace of mind we had leaving our puppy of only 2 1/2 months old with Ashley. She sent us updates and pictures during the four days he spent with her. She gave us some helpful hints to work on training him. She was great!

About: Hi my name is Mozelle. I would love to help you out with any care you need for your animals. I have a yellow lab who I trained myself. I also have a cat and occasionally help train k9 working dogs in my spare time. I used to live on a farm and am great with all farm animals.

New surroundings can be curious for dogs and the safety is my biggest priority.

I’m dependable, loving, and truly enjoy spending time with all kinds of pets.

I’ve been walking dogs since I was young, so I’m comfortable handling energetic pups. I always keep a firm grip on the leash to ensure safety and control. Whether your dog needs exercise in the yard or enjoys time at the dog park, I’m happy to help them burn off some energy!

We had Desteny walk my GS pup today after me having to reschedule dates, due to him having a procedure. Rarely do I right reviews but because Rocco is part of our family, I should say I must for those who are also dog owners. Desteny was excited to walk Rocco, she checked up on him after his procedure. Yet not knowing him, she showed care. The affection she showed after the walk, AMAZED us. He seemed to be engaged with her. Seem to Rocco (our pup) like if she was a long time friend or family to us. He showed wag tail after his walk once she was leaving, rushed to receive her affection?. Would be seeking another booking with Desteny.

About: I’ve had animals ever since I was born, ranging from cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, birds, turtles.. And since I was young I helped care for them! Once I hit my pre-teen years I began volunteering at animal shelters, helping with animals of all kinds! I once even held a fundraiser in middle school for a local shelter who needed help gathering supplies for their pets. I have experience with animals who need medications or have special needs! I personally have a small elderly chihuahua, a calm fluffy cat, a young playful kitten. I’m currently a college student focusing on my education, so I have plenty of time to assist you with all your pet care needs! I’ll be available to help with your fur babies for as long as you need me to! I do offer services within my own home! I have a small chihuahua, a friendly cat, a small kitten, and a child under my roof as well. But, animal safety is my number one priority! I’ve taught my step daughter the utmost of respect towards animals! I can also keep my pets separate from yours if needed!

About: I absolutely love animals! My family’s had animals my whole life. If I had more room I’d have so many more! So instead you should let me meet yours ☺️ Thank you! Every morning I get up and let my dogs out to go to the bathroom and then feed them. During the day we hang out and then around dinner time I feed them again and then they sleep in my room with me. I will make sure your animal is taken care of. Make sure they are fed and have water, take them on a walk or any other things needed. I can also clean up any accidents.

Glen has been great to work with and my Sasha just loves him. She will lay by the door and wait for her buddy. He has been walking her daily for over a year now, never had a schedule conflict or a "No show", and if I had to adjust something I can almost always expect the return text to read "Ok sounds good". He is so easy to work with, very pleased with the service!

About: My boyfriend and I have always had animals in our lives. Growing up he lived on a farm with dogs, cats, goats, pigs etc. and I have had dogs and cats my whole life. We currently have 2 beautiful Great Danes, a bunch of rabbits, outside kitties, and 3 chinchillas! Our dogs love people, small animals, and would love a bigger dog to run around with. We would love to cuddle with your fur babies, go for walks, or just play in the fenced yard! With summer coming up we know that it’s going to be vacation time, you deserve to be able to enjoy and relax on vacation while knowing your animals are well taken care of. Me and my boyfriend work mornings and get lunch breaks half way through, so we’d be able to check on your animals even while working and we can be with them all afternoon. On Wednesdays and Thursdays we are both off so they’d get us all day! We have a 2 story house with lots of room for them to lay around and have their own space if needed. We also have a large backyard that is fenced off already for our dogs.

About: My pet care experience consists of having a dog throughout my childhood and adult years. I've always loved the companionship of owning a dog and also visiting or babysitting families and friends' dogs/cats. With having a dog comes a lot of responsibility and attention whether that's feeding, letting outside, physical activity, and training. I'm experienced in all of those qualities. The pet care that I will be using through the new dogs and cats I meet are the basics of giving treats, going for walks, and playing fetch or ball. Those basics are important and useful for dog caregivers because any dog would love the attention and care that you are giving them unconditionally. I'm also experienced in grooming with bathing the pet if needed. Whether that's outside with a hose and soap or inside in a bathtub. Dogs are my best friends and should be treated with love and companionship therefore I would treat the dog and make sure they are happy and comfortable but also safe and calm at all times. My schedule is very flexible and in the case of babysitting or walking a dog, I will be attentive and responsible. Since I currently have a dog at home I take her outside frequently, stay outside with her and walk around the backyard or throw a toy and play fetch or even just sit in the grass and give her belly rubs. My daily routine consists of letting my dog outside and hanging out with her off and on while also letting her have time to rest and chill by herself. My weekly routine is the same as my daily routine aside from additional car rides, pup cups, or cousin visits with other dogs. The safety, trust & Environment of the care for the pet in my home and or my client's home will consist of making sure all doors are shut when entering and exiting the home or garage. Also making sure the dog is on a leash and well equipped when walking through a neighborhood. I also have a fenced-in yard so I'm experienced with fences and the proper precautions if needed. I can easily create your dog too if needed. Also water supply and refilling the water bowl as needed and giving supplements or medicine also. Also will have the clients contact information in case of emergency.

About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. As a child, I had pet sheep, rabbits, dogs, cats, and cows. As an adult, I have always had cats. My 20 year old long hair cat just passed away in January. It was heartbreaking. I miss him dearly. We loved our guy so much. In his last 5 yrs, I spent many hours catering to his elderly issues. Medications and night yowling were issues that I happily took care of as he lived out his twilight years. I have a soft spot for all animals as they go through all stages of life :) I work from home and set my own hours, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am open to many kinds of arrangements- one time sitting, a weekly routine, daily walks, weekends, etc. I am extremely fortunate to have a flexible schedule. My teen daughter and I live in a large 4 bedroom home, so we have tons of space to accommodate furry friends who need company. We do not have a fenced in yard, but our neighborhood is great for long walks. Our neighborhood has trails through the woods and a home owner’s association that maintains the trails. We have lots of fun walking the trails. I am an avid jogger/walker. I go out everyday, regardless of the weather. I have a very active lifestyle! We recently adopted a cat, but he stays in his own area on a different level of the house. He has claimed my daughter as his and lives in her room. When dogs come to stay with us, he typically stays in his room & pups never see him, although he has made friends with some of our regularly visiting pups 😊 I have a very flexible work schedule. When I do have to be away from home for work, I am gone about 2-3 hrs at a time. My daughter is at home often and also helps with pups. She is great with animals! We both like to take frequent walks throughout the day! In my home, I have a large open floor plan with tons of windows. During the day, I like to have pups next to me in my office, but some like to lay in prime viewing area of all the windows.

My dog Rylee had a great two nights with Tracy. Loves having other dogs to play with. She also loves the home environment much better than a boarding facility. Tracy will be my first choice anytime I need boarding for my pup.

I did a last minute booking. From the time I requested Kathleen has been so responsive. She did everything to make me feel comfortable as this was my first experience with a pet sitter. She sent plenty of pictures and videos and my doggy son has such a great time.

I can't say enough about how much peace of mind we had leaving our puppy of only 2 1/2 months old with Ashley. She sent us updates and pictures during the four days he spent with her. She gave us some helpful hints to work on training him. She was great!

About: I've had a variety of different types of pets around me my whole life. I have loved and cared for every one of them. I have trained my own dog and have taken care of many senior dogs until their passing. I'm currently working a part-time job, I have plenty of time during the afternoon and evenings to play and care for your pets. I'm available any day of the weekday after 12 and all day on the weekends. I have a partially fenced in yard, and one loving dog and two laid back cats, to keep your pet company. I have plenty of toys and treats to keep your animals happy.

Traci was great with my dogs! They were with her for 4 days. Went above and beyond my expectations. I will definitely recommend and use her again.
