We are very fortunate to have found Sarah. Our pup, Honey, was a rescue that had been mistreated. It has made her highly anxious with new experiences. Honey needed a sensitive and experienced person. Sarah put us right at ease, kept us informed the entire time and took expert care of our girl! Highly, highly recommend!!!!!

It was comforting to know that Pepper was in a comfortable space, room to run outside, with plenty of people and pup friends to keep him occupied while we were on vacation! Kyle and Lyndzie sent lots of updates throughout the week too! Gave us peace of mind and we would definitely book with them again!

Kari is so wonderful with the animals she cares for. I could tell by the way my dog Ruger acted as soon as he entered her home. Usually when I pick him up, he let's me know that he's not pleased I was gone, but after a stay with Kari he is totally calm and happy. Thanks for taking such great care of my boy!

About: I have experience fostering dogs with the animal shelter APL and have a small toy poodle of my own. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play. I love dogs and would love to have the opportunity to watch dogs and take care of others! I am open to watching dogs for a couple hours, a day, or even a couple of days if that is what is needed. My house has a small backyard and I am also available to do drop ins at the dogs own home. The area is very quiet and would be comfortable for another dog to be in. If I am caring for someone else's dog I plan on being home for the time I'm watching the dog so that it will be well taken care of. I’m currently only working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. I am available early mornings or early afternoons to give your animal a break during the workday! I am also available any time on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I have a toy poodle and a golden retriever. I can also do drops in to walk or play with your dog as well!

Sierra was able to accommodate boy of my sweet pups last minute. She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures during their 4 night stay with her. I’d send my boys back to her anytime! Definitely recommend

Bentley had a great day with Sara! I was anxious about leaving him somewhere new, and Sara made it much easier with frequent communication and photos while he was there. Bentley was happy and well-cared for! He is looking forward to his next stay ???

About: Hi! My name is Will, and I have over 3 years of professional pet care experience working at Yellow Dog Kennel, a family-owned boarding and daycare facility operated by my parents. Through my work there, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments on a daily basis. My responsibilities include feeding, exercising, supervising play groups, monitoring behavior, maintaining a safe environment, and making sure every dog receives the attention and care they deserve. Working with dogs every day has taught me how important trust and reliability are when it comes to pet care. I have experience with energetic puppies, senior dogs, and dogs that may need extra patience or special attention. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I will treat them as if they were my own and provide dependable care, regular updates, and plenty of love and attention along the way. I’m available everyday from 5:30am to 6:30 am, 10am to 1pm, 2pm to 3pm, 6:30pm-8:00pm, and anything after 9pm. I work at the dog kennel still, so I need to work around my regular hours there, which is 7-10, 1-2, 4-6 and 8-8:30. I currently offer care in my clients’ homes through dog walking and drop-in visits. During visits, I’ll make sure pets have fresh food and water, bathroom breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also monitor their behavior and well-being to ensure they are happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. As someone who works professionally with dogs every day at a family-owned kennel, I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine and providing dependable care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I have been taken care of animals since I can remember! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals/different breeds and I love it! I have been taking care for friends and family, and I’m just trying to get more out there! I’d cuddle with them, play with them, feed them and give them treats, I take them on walks, I’ve taken some dogs to get groomed, I’ve even given baths before, and I’d do whatever needed to be done! I’ve stayed over night with animals before while the owners were out of town and I love being with new animals! I’ve also had to take care of some animals that needed insulin and other medications! I used to have a senior dog that I would have to help get up and carry outside when he needed to go! I love taking care of any animals and have so much fun doing it! I am currently working part time so I’d definitely have time to play with the animals and take them out as many times as needed! I work morning shifts so I’m free in the afternoon! I’m always taking care of my animals as well so I’m definitely used to it! My kitties have a cat tree they love and lots of toys we play with! I can do whatever is needed to take care of them! I can create your dog if necessary!
