I will be booking with her again, and I would definitely recommend others book with her also. Thank you again, Kandace!”
“The way my dog disowned me when dropping him off this time to Lydia’s. It’s his 2nd boarding experience with her and he ran in her home so quick without looking back lol Lydia is amazing as always. Excellent timely communication with photos of your pup 😍, sweet fur baby companions for your fur baby to frolic with and she’s super understanding with last minute changes, for example my flight was delayed (twice now smh 🙈) and she’s made the process so much less anxiety inducing by offering grace in those moments. 💯 repeat customer if she continues to have my running late ass and my obese baby boy”
“Jessica is THE person you want watching your fur babies! She took outstanding care of my 3 month old puppy! She sent photos almost daily for an update on him! Her communication was excellent! I wouldn’t want to trust anyone else with Ody after seeing how much love she showed him! He was very spoiled with Jessica! Thank you very much!”

We received constant videos of our pup and they let us know how he was everyday! This was our first time boarding with them but it will definitely not be our last! Thank you guys so much”
“I had to make last minute accommodations for my dog. Roy was very accommodating and easy to communicate with throughout the process. I would definitely use his services again.”

“We used Heidi for this first time over the 4th of July and it went amazing! she took care of him like he was her own. Kept him on his schedule and sent constant updates on how he was doing.

“Heather made my trip out of town possible! I haven’t left my boys with anyone overnight in so long, and I am so grateful to have find such a caring host for my 2 furkids!! Updates in the form of photos, video, and reports on their behavior and fun made my worries of leaving my boys behind disappear!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs basicly all my life. I currently have an Australian Shepherd that is five years old. He is good with other dogs. He has separation anxiety, so I know how to take care of that as well. I work full-time at the University. I go on daily walks with my own dogs. I’m pretty free after work. You’re dog will feel at home:) I have a fenced in yard and I live in a house, so I have plenty of space for your pet. I also make sure that they get plenty of exercise.

“June did a fantastic job caring for our three cats in our home while we were away. She left the litter box areas and the food areas / bowls clean, and she kept us updated on each visit by messaging and sending photos of the cats. Can’t recommend highly enough.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats of every kind since I was 10 years old. I have 3 cats of my own currently living with me who are all in perfect health, and my senior cat (from my college years) is living the retired life at my parent’s lake house, so he’s still doing great too! I also had a cat when I was younger who was diagnosed with diabetes toward the end of her life, so I learned how to administer insulin shots on cats. I am comfortable giving my cats any type of medicine, even the one that fights me the most on any kind of medicine, haha!
“Jennifer was fantastic. She saved me from a last minute work trip and was able to help me out without any issues at all. Her communication is fabulous and I would definitely recommend her to everyone!!!”
“Ella was amazing!!! She kept me updated on my little baby’s and listened to all my worry’s about leaving them alone for a few days. She was so sweet and both my cats loved her. I will be recommending her to everyone, and booking with her again 🫶🫶”
“Lorrin was amazing. She was a great communicator and always asked questions if she didn’t know something or needed to adjust the times. She treated our Amir like our own and was a huge help while we are gone. She relieved so much stress and worry as we traveled and left him at home. I was able to enjoy our vacation with out worry because I knew he was in good hands. The initial meeting was great and she has a super flexible schedule. She followed every instruction that this worried mama had and she assured me that he was going to be well taken care of. 10/10!!!”
“What a lifesaver and super responsible! We had a last minute cancellation on our pet sitter and were away for the weekend and Ariana answered us very timely and jumped in to action. She is a great communicator and went above and beyond for our pets. We would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since the age of 13. My aunt had 3 dogs so whenever I could I would watch them and stay there for a week at a time when she was out of town I fed them walked them even had to bathe them when they got into dirt. From then on my aunt gave other people my number and information and I started animal sitting all kinds of creatures ! It’s my favorite thing to do ! I’m currently working full time and I have a 2 year old little boy. I am extremely flexible and able to do any and all jobs ! So unfortunately have a German Shepard who isn’t around dogs all the time so I would have to work in my clients home. I am a very clean and neat person I never leave a mess. If I was to stay in your home I would clean all the dishes and wipe down counters and vacuum if you’d like all while talking care of your fur baby.
“Carly is the best!! She was very responsive and accommodating in the booking process, and during her visits she was so loving to my cat Dill - including lots of snuggles and play time!”
“Thank you Kayla! You are Very attentive with StanLee. The last picture is incredible. She is looking directly at you into the camera. I’m sure we will do this again. We are very grateful that we found you! Joe & Stan-Lee”
About: When it comes to cats, I deeply understand their body language, unique routines, and subtle cues. Cats naturally warm up to me because I respect their boundaries—whether they are fiercely independent and need their space, or complete cuddle bugs who thrive on affection. You can count on me to keep their daily routines consistent, maintain spotless litter boxes and feeding areas, and give them plenty of love and playtime whenever they ask for it.
“Rhonda was excellent!! I was so nervous leaving my cats but I was able to relax knowing everything was taken care of. She did everything I asked her to do and even got my mail! She sent daily updates and pictures! I will definitely use her again!!!!”
About: I have always been the one to volunteer to pet sit just because I am an animal lover. I have 2 presa canarios that just turned 5 and a cat That turned 9! I typically let my dogs out 3x per day and can let someone elses babies out between 6-8am / 8pm-1am weekdays. I have open availability on the weekends as needed I do not have a backyard so I take my dogs on 20-30 minute walks because theyre bigger. We practice some commands 2-3x/ wk. Cats are more laid back and let you know when they want interaction.
“Hailee was the best! She was very prompt in getting back with me when I requested her to come and set with my two goldendoodles. She drooped in three times a day with our girls for several days and she was always on time. She played, fed, watered and loved them. She also was so good about sending pictures and letting me know how my girls were doing. Everything was very clean when I came back home. I highly recommend her and I will be using her again.”
About: I have years of experience caring for cats through my own pets, stray and rescue cats, PetSmart experience, and my current work at a veterinary clinic. I’m comfortable with cats of different ages, personalities, and care needs, including shy cats, senior cats, special-needs cats, and cats that need owner-provided medications given as directed. I understand that cats can become stressed in new environments, so I focus on keeping them comfortable, giving them space when needed, and letting them come to me at their own pace. I’m also comfortable with feeding routines, litter box care, basic grooming, nail trims, and closely monitoring their eating, drinking, bathroom habits, and overall behavior.
“Kayla was amazing! I needed a sitter very last minute and she was perfect. She was prompt in answering the booking request and any messages. She took amazing care of my crazy pups and made sure to keep me updated on how they were doing and made sure everyone ate and went potty. Will 100% be using her again!”
About: A little about me! My friends and family call me the animal whisperer, the minute I meet any animal it’s like we form an instant bond of mutual trust. I have grown up surrounded by mainly dogs, cats and snakes. I love playing inside/outside with my pets 24/7. Hiking, running, swimming or exploring/walking, if your babies love to adventure I’m here for it! I rescued and trained to service level both my cat and Belgian Malinois. I have taken care of my friends and family’s pets my entire life, trusting me to give their pets a little pet staycation while they’re on vacation. I am from Southern California, I’ve been mainly pet/house sitting and doing drop ins in the Sango area for about a year now. I have a lot of experience with all types of breeds, especially the dominant ones. I have had 5 bully/pitbulls. I also study animal behaviors to better understand and communicate for their wellness. To ease your stress/worries, your babies will be in knowledgeable, loving hands. I can dedicate as much time as you/they need to your babies. I freelance, doing a few different types of jobs but they normally do not overlap or cause me to be away from home/your home for longer than a couple to a few hours. I am a very active person, I do hybrid training everyday that includes street/trail running and weights/calisthenics. I normally do this early in the morning for 1-3 hours. If I’m not with your babies, I’m at my house a couple times throughout the day to care for my babies then I’m back at yours! I care for your pets at your home, I can stay or go as long as you’d like, keep them outside playing or inside- everything is your preference. I’d love to do whatever makes you feel most comfortable. As far as your home, if there’s anything you need me to do please let me know! I will do little things that I see here and there such as, bringing in any packages, cleaning up and taking out trash.
About: I've taken care of cats for over 10 years. I treat every pet like they're my own and take the time to learn their individual personality, routine, and needs. I'm patient, attentive, and comfortable providing care for pets with different energy levels and personalities.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Elkton
“I have a small very shy baby and he was treated with so much love and care he returned happy and exhausted lol I thank Jessica for everything and I for sure book with her again”
“Maui absolutely loves being at Lydia’s for daycare. Lydia is great with communication and we have no plans of taking Maui anywhere else for daycare or boarding in the future.”
“I needed a few hours to complete shopping. I am visiting from out of town and needed a place to let my big boys play and run! This was fantastic! Super friendly. Responsive. And same day (with only an hour notice) such a life saver!”
“Maria took amazing care of our baby ! Our puppy has a lot of energy and Maria was super accommodating to our baby’s need. She updated me throughout and send pictures while we were away. She also accepted the booking even tho it was pretty last minute. Would highly recommend her and would book with her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Daphne! As a military wife, I understand that life can bring some unexpected, last minute schedule changes. So if there’s a day/weekend where you have to be away, I’d be more than happy to help watch over your fur baby! As a fitness instructor who values keeping an active lifestyle, I dedicate time to my own dogs by taking them out on neighborhood walks, trails, & play dates — so if you need care full of fun for your pup, look no further! Both of my dogs, Presley and Winston, play well with other dogs but can still be old souls who lay around and sleep all day too. A bit about our fam: We have a passion for animal rescue and welfare. We’ve fostered, volunteered, and have been active in our animal shelter. I have background handling both small and big dogs, dogs with high energy, and defeated dogs who have had overall rough lives. If we see any dog in need, no matter if it’s at 11pm, in the rain, or running through the roads, we will without hesitation, stop to help give that dog whatever it is they may need. We have come across many strays and have helped reunite them with their families or have found them forever homes with the help of our local animal shelters. Our dream life is working alongside a local animal rescue back home after military life and continuing to rescue & rehabilitate more dogs in need! If you need those “after hours” drop off/pick up times — don’t hesitate to ask! I‘m currently home full-time so I am flexible with your schedule. My camera roll is filled with pics of my own dogs so you can expect constant photos, videos, and updates on your baby throughout their time with me! I separate dogs at feeding times and keep them in their individual crate overnight. Crating is for their safety as I wouldn’t want anything harmful happening to them overnight when I am not watching! They may behave well in your home but in new environments, I want to take extra precautions. The dogs are not inside for more than 2 hours as I let them outside for potty breaks and outdoor playtime often, with weather conditions kept in mind. My goal for drop-ins is to make each visit feel familiar and stress-free by sticking to their routine as much as possible and caring for them just like you would! *I kindly ask that you provide your pup’s kennel for boarding as they must be crate trained. I do not accept dogs with history of excessive barking and/or chewing/destruction/escaping when crated*
“I was able to meet Roy before my fur baby's extended stay and do a meet and greet. Roy is very professional and friendly. Even though Cavi is not crate trained and a bit much, Roy was able to put my fears at ease knowing that my fur baby would be taking care of. Definitely recommend Roy.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for 17 years, starting at the age of 10, and my love for animals has only grown over time. I have experience with daily care routines, exercise, companionship, and basic pet needs. I understand pets are family. My goal is to provide peace of mind to pet owners while giving their pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m patient, responsible, and committed to keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work remotely, which allows me to be home and fully present with pets throughout the day. This means frequent potty breaks, playtime, supervision, and plenty of attention, with pets able to move freely and feel comfortable all day long. I have a fenced in yard and 3 happy dogs who think they are human. Your pets are more than welcome to play with mine. However I can keep them separated if requested. If crates are necessary for your pets I can incorporate that as well. Whatever suite you and your pets needs!
“Patrick and Chris are excellent dog sitters and all around great people. I work early mornings in the hospital before any other daycares open and was worried I would have no place to bring my 4 month old puppy. They willingly took my pup in at 0515 am. She was so excited to see them the next morning. We will absolutely use them again!”
“Kelcey is awesome! Both my cat, Aedion, and my dog, Oliver, came home happy and were very well taken care of. She sent me updates throughout the day with pictures and videos so I got to see how well everything was going which I appreciate more than anything since all I do is worry when I don't have my babies. Will definitely be going back in the future!”
“My basset baby Luna loves coming to see Leslie and the other fur friends during her weekend day care trips! Leslie is so kind and accommodating and I’m glad my girl gets to play and burn some energy with her friends when she’s at daycare.”
“Heather is seriously the best, I know our dogs are in great hands with her! She takes great care of them, and they come home exhausted everyday so I know they are getting lots of love and play time!!”
“Michelle was a big help for a last minute booking! She kept Bailey for about 8 hours for me and we will definitely be repeat customers if we need someone to watch him again.”
“This was my first time using Rover. I was a bit nervous but Kendra was great. She had me introduce my dog, Leo, to her dogs through the fence before bringing Leo inside the fence. The dogs interacted great. Kendra also sent me a picture of Leo letting me know things were going well. It's great to be able to get away and not have to worry about you pet. Thanks Kendra!”
About: I’ve worked with animals for the last few years. It’s my passion! I’d love to take care of you’re fur baby like it’s my own. I’m a full time stay at home mom and also have 2 dogs of my own. I would have plenty of time to care for your pup. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs of my own. We are outside most of the day playing if it’s nice out side.
About: As a dog mom myself, I know how hard it is to trust someone new with your beloved furry family member. When your dogs are in my home, they are a part of our family. I can’t remember a time in my life where I didn’t have a dog, and now that I’m an adult with my own, I’m dedicated to providing the best care for my daycare and boarding clients. Because my husband and I both work from home, someone is always available to supervise your babies. A typical day at our home looks like this: 630a - Wake Up 730a - Short Morning Walk 8a to 930a - Independent play & relax 930a - Breakfast 10a to 12p - Independent play, potty breaks as needed 12p - Lunch 1p to 4p - Independent play, potty breaks as needed 4p to 530p - Outdoor play 530p - Dinner 7p - Evening Walk 8p - Settle Down With a flexible work schedule, I have the ability to adjust my schedule to the dogs in my care. Our home is 1200 sq ft with over a quarter acre of 6ft privacy fenced backyard space. Our fence is thoroughly checked weekly for any holes, loose boards, and other defects that could lead to escapees. All doors, except for our dedicated office space, are closed during the day, but dogs have access to our shared family spaces. While we do not have a doggy door for backyard access, we do potty breaks approx every two hours or as needed. In our home, it is myself, my husband, and our dog Jessie, who is friendly to all. Although she is friendly, we do pick up all toys, chews, and food when other dogs are in our home. That being said, dogs will also be fed separate regardless of personality simply because dogs act different in homes that are not theirs. We find that this keeps both our dog and yours safe in our home.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Elkton
“Tyler is great! She is very responsive and you can tell she is an animal lover! She walked my dog, sent pics, and communicated with me before and after the walk. I will definitely use her again and fully recommend her!”
About: I've been helping care for friends' dogs on and off for several years through drop-in visits and daily care. My experience includes feeding, providing fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. As an active person who enjoys walking and running, I understand the importance of exercise and mental stimulation for dogs. I treat every pet with patience, attention, and affection, and I strive to provide dependable care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. As a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, I have availability throughout the day for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I'm active and enjoy spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for dogs who need exercise and attention. I strive to be dependable, communicative, and accommodating to each pet's unique routine and needs. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each owner's care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and household rules. I provide a calm, loving environment and pay close attention to each pet's behavior and well-being. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.
About: What truly sets me apart is not just my love for dogs, but the hands-on experience I have caring for a wide range of breeds and personalities. I currently have three dogs of my own a sweet 8-year-old Chihuahua-Yorkie mix who is our spoiled little baby, a very energetic Shih Tzu who keeps me on my toes, and a gentle giant of a German Shepherd who’s just a big cuddly lovebug. Because of them, I have real-life experience managing everything from small, senior pups to large, high-energy breeds. I’m especially patient with hyper dogs I know how to keep them active, happy, and well-behaved. Whether it’s caring for older dogs who need extra love or keeping up with pups who never seem to run out of energy, I genuinely enjoy every moment of it. I treat every dog like family and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. You can trust that your furry friend will be in caring and capable hands! I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which means I get to choose the shifts that work best for me. This allows me to easily plan around pet sitting needs. As long as I’m given a little notice, I can adjust my work hours to fit your schedule whether that’s for regular check-ins, overnight care, or last-minute plans. You can feel confident that your pet will get the attention and care they deserve without any conflicts. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it by using leashes and taking pets on regular walks around my neighborhood or to nearby parks. I enjoy being active and love spending time outdoors with the dogs, giving them plenty of exercise and enrichment. My own dogs are very friendly and would love the extra company, which helps create a warm and welcoming environment for any visiting pets. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for whether they’re staying in my home or I'm visiting them in theirs.
“It was great having Noel to walk Kona. She had very good communication with us getting this walk set up and is very polite, kind, and respectful. Our dog had no reservation about meeting her and going on the walk with here. I highly recommend Noel for her services.”
About: I've cared for dogs big and small since I was eleven. I've watched pets, dogs and cats, for my neighbors and family who needed a caregiver while they're out. I've given the animals baths, walked them around their neighborhood, kept them fed and cared for, and I've stayed the night at my relatives for their dogs. They're typically calm and happy around me, despite separation anxiety. I love animals more than most people! I have full open availability with no other pressing school or work obligations. Sitting and dog walking fits perfectly into my routine as a very active person who needs a lot of walking and stimulation myself. It depends on what the client has provided for me at their home and what they have instructed me to do. I'll take them outside or keep them in per the owners' requests.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. I love small, medium, and large dogs and cats! I used to own an American bully but unfortunately his owner wanted him back. I enjoy playing, watching, dressing up, and walking all pets! I currently work full time Sun-Wed but I am home most of the time. I have a 3 day weekend, Thursday-at so I’m definitely home and bored lol. I love being around pets! I own a townhome with a garage. My backyard is fenced behind an interstate. I also have an extra bedroom and lots of living space room for the pet to run around!
About: I am looking forward to meeting some new furry friends! I have a very flexible schedule and can often help with last-minute needs too. Where there’s a will, there’s a way!

“Kayla is wonderful with our Dottie girl! Dottie is so excited to see her. She is a new pup and Kayla is so patient, kind and playful with her! Kayla is incredibly communicative, she is always timely and gives us such peace of mind knowing our Dottie is in great hands! We feel so fortunate to get to work with Kayla!”
About: I have taken care of my own pets (cats & dogs) as well as for neighbors, friends, and family most of my life and I will always treat them like my own. My own black lab fur baby is a senior girl. I've had her since she was a pup, so I have experience with all stages of life with dogs. I also have 2 cats and love playtime & snuggling with them (on their own terms of course). I am doing Rover exclusively for the time being, so my schedule is very open 7 days a week. I can do feedings, potty breaks, play time & exercise periodically throughout the day as needed. I have no problem with boarding/overnight stays anytime as well! I am a responsible pet parent, and I will always treat your fur babies like they are my own. I treat them how I would want mine to be treated if I were using these services. I will always follow your directions for feeding, rules, & boundaries. You can trust that your babies will be safe and have a fun time while you are away!
About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every dog like family. I have three sweet, well-loved pups of my own—a playful 1-year-old shepherd husky, a gentle 5-year-old black lab— & the sweetest 1 year old Corgi, so I understand different energy levels, personalities, and care needs. I’ve raised 2 of them since they were puppies, which gave me hands-on experience with puppy training, routines, and positive reinforcement, as well as providing calm, patient care for more mature dogs. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first, whether that means structured playtime, relaxing cuddle time, or keeping routines consistent to reduce stress. I’m attentive, dependable, and genuinely love building trust with both pets and their owners so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I am currently a full time stay home dog mama. My entire days revolve around my fur babies since my schedule is completely open. I’ve loved dogs my whole life and I’ve recently moved to the area from Colorado and went from an apartment to a house with a big yard so most of my days are spent outside with the fur babies. I do have a very large fully fenced in backyard and my dogs pretty much come in & out as they please. They have a large water bowl outside that is always filled and I spend time working with them and giving treats throughout the day as well.
About: I have had dogs for most of my life. At a very young age I fell in awe with my four legged friends! I have cared for my own dogs from puppies till their senior years of life, with care and compassion. I have three amazing dogs currently one is young (Shasta) and the two are my seniors (Phelan and Joey). I have rescued most of my pets, and I have had the ability to train and rehabilitate some. Every single one of them have always had the utmost care, love and respect individually, no matter the breed. I am currently working as a mobile notary and set my own schedule, which allows me the flexibility and time needed to meet the needs of pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to trust someone other than yourself to meet the needs and care of your fur babies. I will follow your directions and guidance to always make sure that I am meeting the specific requirements of care and need for each one of your pets individually. Communication is key!
“Ayla was a wonderful sitter and walker! She even brought an extra food bowl for my pup when I told her I only had his water bowl! She was attentive, on time and lovely to work with! Thank you Ayla??”
About: My wife and I did pet sitting in Virginia for a little over 3 years before moving to Tennessee. Our pet parents loved us and recommended us highly. We have never met a dog or cat that didn't like us and some even called my wife the dog whisperer because she has a very calming demeanor. We have taken care of dogs from toy poodles to boxers (3 boxers at one time for the weekend). We love to play and snuggle and we will treat them like they are our own. I work nights but my wife is a stay at home grandmother and between us we have plenty of time to give your dog(s) or cat(s) the special time they need and we would love the chance to get to know yours. I am home full time so I have plenty of time to love on your pet(s) except when I have to go to other clients homes to love on theirs. I have a fenced in yard and take them out regularly and I go out with them to make sure they are safe and secure.
About: Attention to your animals needs, all animals are the most precious especially seniors. I’m comfortable with giving medication, highly communicative and flexible. I know basic grooming skills, most comfortable with any breed. I know how to deal with animals with separation anxiety or anxiety issues. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom & wife. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies while you are away. I’m available anytime. I also have a background working in animal care, I use to work as a kennel technician and also worked under a veterinarian. Before we even book a sitting I love to meet with my clients and fur friends to see if we’re a perfect match. I always like to know what the dog/cat is like so I can build trust more easily
About: A little about me! My friends and family call me the animal whisperer, the minute I meet any animal it’s like we form an instant bond of mutual trust. I have grown up surrounded by mainly dogs, cats and snakes. I love playing inside/outside with my pets 24/7. Hiking, running, swimming or exploring/walking, if your babies love to adventure I’m here for it! I rescued and trained to service level both my cat and Belgian Malinois. I have taken care of my friends and family’s pets my entire life, trusting me to give their pets a little pet staycation while they’re on vacation. I am from Southern California, I’ve been mainly pet/house sitting and doing drop ins in the Sango area for about a year now. I have a lot of experience with all types of breeds, especially the dominant ones. I have had 5 bully/pitbulls. I also study animal behaviors to better understand and communicate for their wellness. To ease your stress/worries, your babies will be in knowledgeable, loving hands. I can dedicate as much time as you/they need to your babies. I freelance, doing a few different types of jobs but they normally do not overlap or cause me to be away from home/your home for longer than a couple to a few hours. I am a very active person, I do hybrid training everyday that includes street/trail running and weights/calisthenics. I normally do this early in the morning for 1-3 hours. If I’m not with your babies, I’m at my house a couple times throughout the day to care for my babies then I’m back at yours! I care for your pets at your home, I can stay or go as long as you’d like, keep them outside playing or inside- everything is your preference. I’d love to do whatever makes you feel most comfortable. As far as your home, if there’s anything you need me to do please let me know! I will do little things that I see here and there such as, bringing in any packages, cleaning up and taking out trash.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs basicly all my life. I currently have an Australian Shepherd that is five years old. He is good with other dogs. He has separation anxiety, so I know how to take care of that as well. I work full-time at the University. I go on daily walks with my own dogs. I’m pretty free after work. You’re dog will feel at home:) I have a fenced in yard and I live in a house, so I have plenty of space for your pet. I also make sure that they get plenty of exercise.
“My boy usually gets anxiety when I leave him with others. Miranda introduced him to her dog and they had a blast together. She took very good care of Wolfe and gave us updates about how he was doing and pictures showing how happy he was. I definitely recommend Miranda to care for your very special furry family member.”
“James took great care of Jaxx by providing pictures and updates while I was away. He kept me updated with feeding times and communicated quickly with any concerns. I will absolutely book with James in the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for 17 years, starting at the age of 10, and my love for animals has only grown over time. I have experience with daily care routines, exercise, companionship, and basic pet needs. I understand pets are family. My goal is to provide peace of mind to pet owners while giving their pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m patient, responsible, and committed to keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work remotely, which allows me to be home and fully present with pets throughout the day. This means frequent potty breaks, playtime, supervision, and plenty of attention, with pets able to move freely and feel comfortable all day long. I have a fenced in yard and 3 happy dogs who think they are human. Your pets are more than welcome to play with mine. However I can keep them separated if requested. If crates are necessary for your pets I can incorporate that as well. Whatever suite you and your pets needs!
