About: I have loved and cared for dogs for as long as I can remember and have about 15 years of hands on pet care experience. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities and energy levels. I have fostered dogs through It Takes a Village, including puppies, senior dogs, small breeds and large breeds, so I am comfortable caring for dogs with very different needs. I currently have several dogs of my own and dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved and included while they are in my care. I work from home, which allows me to be around throughout the day and give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, supervision and companionship. I am able to provide a home environment where your dog does not have to spend the day alone. I can keep your pet’s normal routine as much as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, crate time and plenty of cuddles. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I have extensive experience caring for dogs with different personalities, ages, sizes and needs through both my own pets and fostering. I understand that every dog is different and I am happy to follow your instructions and routine. I provide plenty of supervision, attention, playtime and affection while making sure pets have a calm and comfortable place to relax. I am also comfortable with crate trained dogs and can accommodate individual feeding and care instructions.

“Nathalie was great. She kept Willy Pete while we went on vacation and kept me updated daily with information about his day and also sent video and pictures daily. Will definitely use her again and most definitely recommend her for your next dog boarding needs and more. Thank You so much for the great experience.”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was young, and always had pets in my home! I am a huge huge animal lover! We currently have 3 dogs, 3 cats, 2 bearded dragons, chickens, ducks and rabbits. We love all animals! I have been a Stay at Home Mom since my girls were born. Now that they are older, I’m looking for new things to do that I enjoy, and can still be around for my family when they need me. I have a fenced in yard that the dogs run and play in, a detached garage with an attachment. Inside the attachment there is a couch, TV, AC, and heat, with plenty of room to run around and play! It makes a nice little hang out spot. We come out here to play and run around at times. There is also a security camera in the attachment as well. Dog must be potty trained, and good with other dogs and cats. Please be honest, so it won’t cause conflict while taking care of your baby and others. If we take care of larger dogs, they will stay in the attachment and not in the house.

“Everything went great! She went above and beyond. Will go to her again!”

“Michelle is amazing, not only a great person and loves dogs, very down to earth, she is very responsive, gives great updates with pictures so you can see how your babies are doing. She has the sweetest little Yorkie for a playmate. She was willing to keep your exercise and feeding routine going to the best of her ability. We absolutely loved her and will be using her services again.”

“Destiny has a special gift. She was very attentive to my dog's needs. She had been able to help my dog stay calm during some trying times. Thank you so much!”

About: I bring 13 years of professional animal care experience including roles in general practice, emergency medicine, internal medicine, and lab diagnostics. As a former vet tech, I’m skilled in medication administration, symptom monitoring, and anxiety management. For the past three and a half years, my husband and I have run a private, in home doggie daycare and overnight boarding service. We offer one on one play, a spacious quarter acre fenced yard, and a secure clean cozy indoor space tailored for comfort and enrichment. With no other pets or children in our house, and the luxury of us both having a schedule that allows us to be home full-time, your pup receives our full attention and supervision 24/7 and they’re cared for like family. Doggy daycare and boarding is our full-time focus, and we’re home 24/7 to provide attentive, personalized care. Each day begins at 8:00am with one on one enrichment play in our spacious, fenced backyard. We avoid group play for safety, only allowing interaction between bonded pets. This approach lets us welcome dogs who may not thrive in traditional daycare settings. After morning play, pups rest before and after meals to prevent bloat, then enjoy relaxed indoor time on our cozy futon or human sized dog bed. Outdoor breaks and play continue throughout the day until dinner at 5:00pm, followed by evening rest and a final potty break at 10:00pm. All dogs are monitored via live feed cameras, ensuring constant supervision. Our goal is to make every stay feel like a safe, joyful home away from home. If you require greater than 8 hours of doggy daycare, pricing will go up to reflect the number of hours needed and the level of care we provide as well as your dog or puppy's needs. Your pup will enjoy full access to our home’s main floor, outfitted with baby gates, plush dog beds including a human sized one for large breeds or bonded pairs and sun bathing areas by large windows perfect for lounging. During the day, dogs are never kenneled unless we need to leave the home for a short period of time and can freely explore both indoors and our spacious, fenced backyard filled with squirrels, rabbits and birds to chase. At night, all pups sleep safely in kennels, monitored by a live feed camera system that streams directly to our phones. We welcome dogs of all ages and sizes. Safety and comfort are our top priorities, and we’re happy to answer any questions during your meet and greet.

“Hillary is very nice and good with missy.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats for my entire life, so I’m very comfortable with all breeds, sizes, ages, etc. We currently have two cats and one wild Australian shepherd! I work remotely full time and can do my job from anywhere with WiFi. I can generally be available for drop in visits or walks any time during the day. At my house, dogs are welcome to hang out on the furniture and sleep in bed with us (if they want!). We have a very large, securely fenced yard for plenty of outdoor playtime. We never leave our dog unattended outside and wouldn’t leave others, either. In your home I would try to keep routine and rules as close to as when you’re home together.

“Amber was great! Took great care of our girl, and even gave us some great tips about the area. (We were just passing through.)”

About: Hi! I’m Gracie and i’m 18 years old. I’m a dependable and caring person who genuinely loves being around animals! I’ve had dogs and have been around dogs ever since I was little! I know every pet is different, and I’m happy to take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel comfortable with me. I’m patient with shy or nervous pets and always want them to feel safe and cared for while their owners are away! I’m happy to follow any instructions you leave for me, whether that means going on walks, playing, giving them lots of attention, or simply keeping them company. My goal is to make your pets feel as happy and comfortable as possible while you’re away! Other than me working on Thursdays, I have a flexible schedule and can make time for pet care throughout the week days. I’m happy to work around each pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention, care, and exercise they need! I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll follow the owner’s instructions, keep their home clean and secure, and always pay close attention to their pets and surroundings!

I work full time at home and will be available all day so your pup will have the most fun and freedom that they could want and need! I live in a 2 bedroom home with a dog of my own that LOVES to play and be around other dogs. Your dog will be in great hands!

About: I have cared for many variations of dogs, from Pomeranian to Great Dane! I further my love for caring for dogs by working at my local no kill shelter! I am currently working part-time at a no kill shelter. I am also in the National Guard where there are certain days (1-3 days) out of a month where I report to the Guard! I have an open backyard with lots of room for dogs to run around! When at clients homes, I will be very attentive to their pets environment and needs.

About: Dogs have always been part of my life, and I’ve been caring for them since I was young. I’m trustworthy and focused on keeping your pet comfortable and safe. I am unemployed so I'm free all weekdays. I do go out on weekends though, but can still care for your pet when needed. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat. They are very playful and good with other animals. I also have a house with a fenced in yard.

“Mallory did a great job of watching my dog. I will definitely use her again the next time I'm in the area and need help. I received lots of pictures and even a video ? He was definitely loved on and got lots of cuddles and attention ?”
