It was clear that she was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared about his well-being. Ark came home happy, healthy, and tired—which is not an easy accomplishment! I also really appreciated how welcoming she was and how comfortable she made the whole experience.

Tara will always be my first choice for boarding because she goes above and beyond when it comes to caring for my dog.”
“Kari is a rare find!!! I am new to the area and have used Kari a few times. Her and her husband are very kind and great to my dogs. My dogs used to come home from being boarded at a facility and sleep for days from being so stressed. I pick them up from Kari’s and they are ready to play!?!! Highly recommend ❤️❤️”
About: My name is Jessica, my partner Richard and I have recently decided to open our home to boarding again! While I have much experience with cats, Richard has got quite the history raising dogs. He was born into a home with a well educated German Shepherd. His father trained mainly Pit-bulls and Shepherds, and his grandparents raised and bred Keeshons and Golden Labs during much of his and our lifetime together. We have always had a special interest and investment in raising and training canines! Not just big dogs but little ones too. His mother worked with a rescue shelter that also certified and 'dispatched' therapy animals. Together we have certainly learned a lot about taking care of pets. Both Richard and I have the patience, heart, and experience to provide excellent care for some of the most special of needy dogs. We have one cat, her name is Shade! If we have a pooch over for the night she stays with her brother Dexter, who lives nearby. Please, if your pet requires any medication or has any special needs, please outline those needs specifically with a written note and verbal communication upon arrival. We are completely available to you and your pets full-time untill further notice! late-nights, or early mornings, offer us courtesy and we'll be the flexibility! We live in an apartment, non-smoking, we have a small parking lot out front and a unfenced yard in the back. There are two friendly neighboors who both have cats and also love furry animals, the kitties stay inside and are well mannered. Neither of them are very 'sharp and pointy.' I drive a hatchback and can transport dogs up to a large size who are well car-broken. We enjoy strolling through washington park and hanging out at the dog park on the North end of town (Stuart park.) We and your pet will not go anywhere together, (other than our home and neighboorhood,) without your express permission. We are completely available to you and your pets full-time untill further notice! late-nights, or early mornings, offer us courtesy and we'll be the flexibility!

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats and other pets since 1986. Love, trust, patience and high respect with animals are my #1 priority! I have volunteered with Animal Protective League as well as adopted cats from there. I am pretty much a person who takes home a stray animal who needs a home. My family has taken in 20 cats in the last 25 years that were strays on the street and kept them their whole lives. We have owned, to this date, 14 dogs dating as far back as when I was a toddler. Animals are my passion and I look forward to meeting yours! I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I own 11 cats. I am available for long-term and short-term periods. I am flexible with schedules and times and days depend on the client’s needs as well as pet needs. Currently, I am available for walking dogs, watching cats, as well as checking in and feeding animals at the client’s house during the client’s absence. Please contact me for further details and a custom schedule! Currently not providing pet care in my home. Pet care will be provided in the client’s home.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or just lots of love and attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I work part-time and attend cosmetology school, but I keep my schedule organized so I can provide reliable pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting around my work and school hours, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications (if needed), and any special instructions exactly as requested. I understand that every pet is different, and I’ll treat your home with respect while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for over 15 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive, patient, and great at reading animal behavior, whether that means giving energetic dogs plenty of exercise or providing calm, gentle care for seniors or anxious pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work part-time and set my own schedule, which allows me to be very flexible and accommodating to my clients’ needs. I’m able to adjust my availability for walks, drop-ins, or extended care, including weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize clear communication to ensure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I have a fenced-in yard and prioritize a calm, safe environment for all pets in my care. I have two cats who are kept comfortably separated with their own space when dogs are visiting, as I understand transitions can be challenging. I’m very mindful of introductions, happy to crate dogs if needed, and always follow owner preferences and routines to ensure pets feel secure and well cared for.

I definitely recommend him!”
About: I have 3 German shepherds, and I know how much care goes into making sure they are well-fed, trained, and taken care of. Your pets are family, and I would treat them as though they were my own. I also am a runner, and I run with my own dogs - up to 3 at a time (size and temperament dependent). If you have a dog who loves to run (or who needs to), I would love to have them join the crew. I also do graphic design work specifically for people and their animals. Happy to produce some pictures for you for an additional fee! I generally can do morning and PM visits for the pets! My schedule is NOT a 9-5, but I work around what I need to. Spending time with the pets is my favorite work I do! I treat every animal as if they were my own. That means lots of play time, attention, and overall just good fun. That being said, if you have house rules, then we will follow them accordingly.
About: I started pet sitting when I worked at my first vet clinic. And, because I love animals so much, I have never stopped. I grew up with dogs, cats, ducks and every pet in between! Currently, I have 2 dogs, a Jack-Russell mix named Jake and a Beagle mix named Macy. They are extremely pet/people friendly and they love new company! Also, I worked as a veterinary assistant for a a few years, so I am very comfortable with administering medications and taking care of your pets special needs. I will provide whatever accommodations that are needed and I will make sure that your pets feel safe and comfortable. Most of all, I will always keep an open line of communication with you. I know how it feels being away form your pet and I know the importance of regular updates and pics. I look forward to hearing from you and I can’t wait to met your pets! :) 🏡 House Sitting + Boarding 🏡 (Overnight) Evening - Morning; I do offer some flexibility, however there could be an additional fee if check in/out times are drastically different from what I have set. I currently work from home full time. This means I can fully dedicate all of my time to your fur babies and their individual needs. I will care for your pet/pets the same way every single time.
