Highly-rated overnight sitters - Herndon
“Leslie is an excellent sitter! Our pup always loves going and sometimes doesn't want to leave. Leslie gives him plenty of playtime, love and attention. 100% recommend Leslie for anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Jessica took excellent care of my pup!!❤️ I needed someone short notice to go out of town for my son with college. She was willing to help and took great care of her! She has a back yard for the dogs to run in, which was so great for Bliss! I came back to get her, she was a happy baby😁 Jessica also provided updates about how she was doing during her stay! Highly recommend, thank you!!”
“They did an exception for our 50lbs dog and they exceeded our expectations. Very understanding and great communication. They were loving and caring towards our dog and kept us posted.”
“Kandace is really great with our Eden! Eden loves it there! Kandace always gives updates on how she is doing and Eden really has an awesome time staying there while away from us. At drop off, Kandace is super patient and sweet to her with her initial nervousness. I'm sure as soon as I pull off Eden is making new friends! We're definitely going to continue to book with her!”
“I left my older german shepherd Apollo with Roy for a week and it was a great experience! He gave me updates, gave him his medicine as instructed and took great care of him. If I needed a dog sitter again he would be my first choice!”
“Heather is AWESOME. She watched our two pups for three days over Thanksgiving. She allowed us to drop them off at 5am Thanksgiving morning. That alone is huge! One of our dogs doesn’t eat much when separated from us, and she always makes it a point to follow him around with food to make sure he eats something. Our dog’s name tag fell off his collar during their stay, and Heather looked high and low for us. When she couldn’t find it, she sent us money to purchase a new one. Talk about SO SO nice!! We will definitely be booking her again for our puppy stay needs in the future. We just love her!”
“We are grateful for such a good care of our dog while we were out of town. We could tell that Azula had lots of fun and exercise, while we were gone, because she came home and was ready to sleep! We will definitely contact Miranda again in the future for our boarding needs.”
“Savana was AMAZING!!!!! She took my pups last minute which was a huge help! She sent awesome update and the cutest pictures! I felt so secure having my dogs with Savana and they had so much fun! By the time my pups came home they were happy and exhausted! ? thank you so much and I will definitely be using her services in the future!”
“Olivia was great. She sent pictures of our dog and was great at communication. Our dog looked like he was very comfortable. We will definitely be using her again. She was awesome!!”
“We LOVE using A'Briana to watch Jackson! We have used her for multiple overnight camps, daycare, and dog walking. He gets along with her dogs and she treats him like a part of her family. He knows when we are pulling into her driveway and will run up to her door with his tail happily wagging.”
“I was very nervous about leaving my puppy for the first time. Kaylee sent me photos and set my mind at ease all night. If i could give more stars I would! Thanks Kaylee (and family) for everything!”
“Alexis treats our girl like her own and we love her! She communicates daily and shares pictures of their adventures. We absolutely love Alexis, thank you for keeping our girl safe and happy!”
“We would definitely leave our dog with Jennifer again! She sent messages regularly to update us on how she was doing and our dog seemed very happy and content when we picked her up!”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs throughout my entire life, beginning when I was six years old. Over the past nine years of my military career, I have also gained extensive experience caring for pets while service members were away for field exercises, missions or other military obligations. These experiences have taught me to be responsible, dependable and attentive to individual needs of each animal. I understand the importance of providing consistent care, maintaining routines, and ensuring that pets are safe, comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. Although I work full time, I have flexible availability outside of work. I am available for pet care and boarding on weekends and on weekdays after 6:00 p.m., allowing me to provide your pets with attentive and reliable care during my available hours. I have a fully fenced yard where pets can safely play and enjoy some outdoor time. Our neighborhood also has several nearby parks and a large open field close to our home, providing plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, and exploration. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I will follow the owners instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and other daily routines. I will also treat the home with the same care and respect I would want for my own home, keeping the space clean and secure while providing the pet with plenty of attention and companionship.
About: I already have two great dogs! A yorkie(4yrs old) and pitbull(8-9yrs old), I have a great backyard with lots of space to run around in. I’m able to take dogs that need time outside alone away from other dogs. As a dedicated stay-at-home dad managing our family's homeschool schedule and running a home artisan sourdough bakery, I am consistently on-site and present throughout the entire day. My daily routine allows me to seamlessly integrate hands-on pet care into our everyday rhythm, ensuring visiting dogs receive frequent check-ins, consistent supervision, and plenty of attention alongside my daily baking and family responsibilities. Because I do not commute for work, I maintain steady availability and flexible scheduling for both first-time and recurring clients, giving pet parents complete peace of mind knowing their dog is never left unattended. Welcome! My boarding setup is designed specifically for outdoor dogs who thrive in the open air and love spending their days active. Your pup will enjoy full run of a massive fenced backyard with continuous access to fresh water from large water troughs, alongside periodic leash walks to keep them exercised and engaged. Because this is strictly an outdoor boarding environment during the day, guests must be comfortable outside and friendly toward both other dogs and kids. Dogs are only crated at night for sleeping, or brought into shelter in their crates if severe weather hits with bathroom breaks provided every two hours whenever crated. Please remember to bring your dog's crate, food, a sturdy leash, and a secure collar or harness at drop-off
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.

“Riley was absolutely fantastic with my two cats! My cats have never had an “outside of the family” sitter before and can be extremely anxious because of this. However, Riley’s care for them made them less anxious and one of my cats, who is very afraid of people she doesn’t know and will hide, actually came out each visit and let Riley pet her multiple times! She also sent updates and photos of my cats, which I really appreciated. Riley is an amazing sitter, so I highly recommend her for all of your pet-sitting needs!”
“Leslie did a great job caring for my cat. She is always quick to communicate and includes the sweetest photos of your fur baby in her report card. I have booked with Leslie before and will definitely book with her again in the future.”

“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.

Holly is such a gentle soul!!! I am blessed to have found her.”
About: I have been providing care and assistance to family members and friends since the age of 14, which has helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and compassion. I genuinely enjoy caring for cats, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I love spending time playing with them, keeping them entertained, and giving them the attention and affection they deserve. My passion for animal care motivates me to create a positive, nurturing environment where every cat feels happy, secure, and loved.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for everything from dogs and cats to parrots, chinchillas, and fish, and eventually turned that lifelong experience into professional pet sitting, working with dogs and cats for about a year. When it comes to cats specifically, I’ve personally cared for a household of seven Maine Coons. That gave me plenty of firsthand experience with multi-cat households, large and long-haired breeds, feeding routines, litter box maintenance, grooming, playtime, and—most importantly—learning that every cat has their own personality and boundaries. I’m comfortable with affectionate, energetic cats as well as shy or cautious ones that need patience and space before warming up to someone new. I’ll follow your cat’s established routine closely and provide updates and photos so you know how they’re doing while you’re away. As an active-duty Soldier at Fort Campbell, I also understand long duty days, field exercises, TDY, and schedules that can change unexpectedly. My goal is to be someone you can depend on to take care of your cats when duty—or life—calls. And after living with seven Maine Coons, I can confidently say that a little cat hair doesn’t scare me.
About: I have over 3 years of experience caring for cats, including cat sitting and regularly supporting the care of cats within a household setting. Through this, I’ve become comfortable with different cat personalities, from more independent cats to those that enjoy attention and play. I understand the importance of routine, patience, and creating a calm, safe environment where cats feel comfortable. I’m attentive to their needs, respectful of their space, and committed to making sure they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.
About: As a cat lover and cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone to trust with your pet. I have experience being a Veterinary Assistant in a vet clinic which as giving me hands on experience working with a variety of different pets. I'm passionate about giving calm, loving, and attentive care so your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away!
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: I have owned two dog in the past 7 years. Each one had their own personalities that provided hardships and beautiful memories. I have experience raising and training my dogs from when they were puppies. I am currently a college student. I am home for the summer and have ample free time to take care of our lovable pets. Including walking, playing, checking in on them, etc. I have owned two dogs within the past 8 years and I love them so much. The care for the dog depends on the size and breed. If the dog needs more exercise and attention, than walks and outdoors time will be heavy. If the dog is small and does not need a lot of exercise, than there will still be walks and outdoors time just not in excessive amounts. All dogs will be cared for in the best way possible.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Herndon
“Leslie is the absolute best!! We’ve been sending our fur babies to Leslie for 8 years now. She treats them like family! There is no one else that we trust with our dogs. She is the best!!!”
“Jessica was amazing!! We needed a last minute sitter for our brand new, very needy 9 week old puppy, and she was more than up to the task. We were very comforted by her friendliness and the frequent updates. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
“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!”
“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: My grandparents never allowed us to have any pets in our home. As soon as I turned 18, I got my first puppy. Since then, it's been quite an adventure for my spouse and I. With more than 12 years of dog fostering, transport, and walking, I've cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments and he's been there along for the ride. Our rescues have taught us the importance of individualized care. I'm committed to providing a loving, fun, yet safe environment for your fur family member(s). We can't wait to meet your fur best friend! I’m currently a stay-at-home-mom taking online college courses. We are home (almost) all day to care for, play with and let out your loved pups! I am now offering boarding services in my home on Fort Campbell. Our rescues have since crossed rainbow bridge and we now have a pup that loves to play with others. Slow, monitored introductions are always done. I have three children, 10, 7.5 and almost 2, who've also gained a love for any and all animals, while also knowing to respect and give space when it is needed.
About: Hey pups and parents! I have hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’ve trained my own dogs in scent work and obedience, giving me a strong understanding of behavior, communication, and structured training. I’ve also spent time working in dog rescue, which has taught me patience, adaptability, and how to support dogs with a wide range of backgrounds and needs. No matter how busy my schedule gets, I always make time to care for your pets. I ensure they’re fed, comfortable, and given the love and attention they deserve every day. Their well-being is a natural part of my routine, and I’m committed to keeping them happy and healthy In my home, every dog is treated with gentle care, patience, and consistent attention. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the family—from providing a clean and comfortable space to offering regular meals, playtime, and affection. Their well-being is always a priority, and I take pride in creating a peaceful, caring environment where they can relax and thrive.

About: I have taken care of pet’s since I was a kid from family pet’s to friends to walking neighbors dogs. Whether your pup is wanting to take a nap on its bed, or chase squirrels in the back yard or take a stroll around the block I’m here to accommodate his/her needs. I work from home majority of the time, the most I’m out of the house is 4 hours consecutively. When I am away and at night I lock the pet’s in their own crate ( unless they have a “thunder-buddy”) to ensure their safety so no accidents happen. Your pet’s health and safety is my top concern. I have a child in home so his safety is also my concern. I know new places and people can give some pup/s anxiety and not all dogs do well with kids. If your doggo is anxious around kids please let me know so that way I can ensure my families safety while also accommodating and ensuring your pet is at ease while in my care. I have a fenced back yard for your pet to get adequate outside time, If your pet likes walks I am happy to take them for a stroll around the block, I am firm on sticking to your pet’s feeding times and will accommodate that to my best ability. I provide treats and toys to pets that are cared for in my home, if your pet requires any type of special care ( allergies, anxiety, food aggression, hyperactive, etc) please don’t hesitate to tell me so I can make sure I am providing your baby the best service possible.
About: I've taken care of dogs for over 15 years. I treat every pet like they're my own and take the time to learn their individual personality, routine, and needs.

I'm currently available anytime of the day to play with your fur babies! I'm currently available for boarding on the weekdays and weekends.

About: My heart is open to all creatures, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and cherished in my care. Whether it’s through playtime, cuddles, or attentive care, I treat each pet with the same affection and dedication I would give to my own! I currently have ample time to efficiently care for your baby (or babies). Mornings begin with feeding and some outdoor play. Midday involves engaging in daily activities while keeping the pets entertained nearby. Afternoons are all about quality time and interactive play. Finally, evenings include dinner and a final play session, allowing everyone to wind down for a good night's rest—then we repeat! Caring for pets in my home and my clients’ homes involves a tailored approach based on their specific needs and the services I offer.

In Clients’ Homes, I maintain the pet’s usual routine to minimize stress, following their feeding and play schedules. I ensure the home is safe by securing potential hazards and providing a comfortable space for the pet. I provide regular updates to the pet owner, sharing how their pet is doing.

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: I have over 8 years of pet care experience, including caring for my own animals, helping neighbors and friends, and working at a dog and cat boarding facility where I assisted with training, grooming, and supervising pets while families were away.

I’m currently studying in college to be a wildlife biologist. Please be transparent about your animals behaviors! It will help them have a better experience.

Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I love making time for walks, cuddles, and keeping your pets happy while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I stick closely to their usual routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given plenty of attention. I always respect your space, keep things tidy, and provide updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to make the time you’re away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable, compassionate animal lover with hands on experience working in a veterinary clinic. That experience has given me a strong understanding of animal body language and safe handling. I’m happy to tailor my care to their personality and routine.

I am currently taking classes online so i will be home all day with your fury little friend! I am very flexible and I can work around what works best for you.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Cane Corso, which gave me firsthand experience living with and caring for a large, powerful breed from an early age. Over the years, I’ve also cared for cats, parrots, chinchillas, and fish—including a household of seven Maine Coons—so I’m comfortable around animals with very different personalities and needs. I eventually turned that lifelong experience into professional pet sitting, caring for dogs and cats for about a year. That experience taught me that good pet care goes beyond feeding and walks. Every animal has their own routine, temperament, boundaries, and way of communicating, and I make an effort to understand and respect those differences. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, including large breeds, and I’m patient with animals that need time to become comfortable with someone new. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, routines, and any other specific care your pet requires. As an active-duty Soldier at Fort Campbell, reliability and attention to detail are important to me. I also understand how unpredictable military schedules can be. Whether you’re dealing with a long duty day, field exercise, TDY, or simply need someone dependable while you’re away, my goal is to make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. You can expect clear communication, photos, and updates while your pets are in my care—because you shouldn’t have to wonder how they’re doing while you’re away. As an active-duty Soldier at Fort Campbell, I keep a structured routine and plan my pet-sitting availability around my military schedule. I’m generally available outside of duty hours, including evenings and weekends, and I keep my Rover calendar updated so I only accept bookings I know I can reliably fulfill. I also understand that military life doesn’t always follow the original plan. Long duty days, field exercises, TDY, and last-minute schedule changes happen, so I especially understand clients who need dependable pet care when their own schedules become unpredictable. When I accept a booking, I make that commitment part of my schedule and ensure I have enough time to give your pet proper care and attention rather than trying to squeeze in as many visits as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the animal and the home with respect. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications or special care instructions, household rules, and any areas that are off-limits. Safety always comes first. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure before moving a pet in or out of the home, and I pay attention to the animal’s behavior rather than forcing interaction. I’m comfortable giving shy or cautious pets the time and space they need to become familiar with me. I also believe trust comes from communication. I’ll provide photos and updates during visits and let you know if I notice anything unusual with your pet or their environment. As an active-duty Soldier, accountability and attention to detail are important parts of my everyday life. When you trust me with your pet and access to your home, I take that responsibility seriously.

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch. While serving in the military, I became my company’s go-to pet sitter, trusted to provide reliable care for both dogs and cats during long trainings and deployments, sometimes up to a month at a time. I’m experienced with overnight care, senior pet routines, administering medication, and making shy or anxious animals feel safe and loved. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended care, I treat every pet like family. I transitioned out of the military a year ago, and my schedule is very flexible right now. I welcomed my first baby about a month ago, and just two weeks before she was born, I lost my father. This has been a huge season of change for my family, and I’m looking for a positive way to stay active, get outside, and ease into my postpartum routine. Dog walking has become something I’m really looking forward to. I love getting fresh air, staying active, and spending time with dogs, and I think having regular walks built into my week will be good for both me and the pups I get to care for. I’m currently offering dog walks only and have plenty of flexibility during the day to work around your schedule. My goal is to make every walk enjoyable, safe, and consistent while giving your dog some one-on-one attention and exercise. Since I’m currently offering dog walks, my main priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while we’re together. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and take the time to learn their dog’s routine, personality, and walking preferences. Before every walk, I double-check that their leash and harness are secure and that doors and gates are safely closed. During the walk, I stay attentive to my surroundings and to the dog’s behavior, making sure they’re comfortable and never rushing them. I know how much trust it takes to have someone care for your dog, so I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m also happy to send updates after walks so you know how your pup did and can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Im so thankful Kendra is able to walk my dogs. She responded right away when I first contact her and was able to walk them the next day. I love seeing the report cards with the pictures. I feel better knowing my dogs get out for a walk during the day.”
About: I’m a firm believer that our pets are family and deserve to be treated with love and respect. I’ve had dogs in my family my entire life and Im currently a dog mom to a handsome Belgian Malinois and a beautiful german shepherd. I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’ve also had experience caring for pets that are deaf, blind, and that require medications and even eye drops. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom, so I have the flexibility to check on your dogs throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, run, dog park, or even a casual hang out for a few hours. Because of my dogs, I’m very specific on if I’ll do overnights at my house. My boys are very dog friendly and love to play, but it can be a little much for other dogs. I prefer to take care of your pet in their home, so they are in a familiar and comfortable environment.
“Holly came over for a meet and greet + walked my pups the following day. She was so kind + sweet with the dogs. I’ve booked with her for future walks and would refer to anyone looking for a dog walker!”

About: I've taken care of my own dog for the past 8 years, but before that I was raised around dogs and other animals. My grandparents and uncle always had multiple dogs for hunting, so I am very comfortable around and them and developed a love for dogs at a young age. I have dog sat on various occasions over the past 10 years, and I would love to continue to do it while I’m on the job search. I have a relatively flexible schedule throughout the week since I am pregnant and out of work for the moment, so in most cases would be more than willing to try and work something out. I am currently living in a house with my own dog so I would rather not be doing home services on my end but it is possible for well behaved dogs since my dog is very friendly.

Highly recommend, thank you!!”
“Kandace is really great with our Eden! Eden loves it there! Kandace always gives updates on how she is doing and Eden really has an awesome time staying there while away from us.

“I left my older german shepherd Apollo with Roy for a week and it was a great experience! He gave me updates, gave him his medicine as instructed and took great care of him. If I needed a dog sitter again he would be my first choice!”
“Heather is AWESOME. She watched our two pups for three days over Thanksgiving. She allowed us to drop them off at 5am Thanksgiving morning. That alone is huge! One of our dogs doesn’t eat much when separated from us, and she always makes it a point to follow him around with food to make sure he eats something. Our dog’s name tag fell off his collar during their stay, and Heather looked high and low for us. When she couldn’t find it, she sent us money to purchase a new one. Talk about SO SO nice!! We will definitely be booking her again for our puppy stay needs in the future. We just love her!”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs throughout my entire life, beginning when I was six years old. Over the past nine years of my military career, I have also gained extensive experience caring for pets while service members were away for field exercises, missions or other military obligations. These experiences have taught me to be responsible, dependable and attentive to individual needs of each animal. I understand the importance of providing consistent care, maintaining routines, and ensuring that pets are safe, comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. Although I work full time, I have flexible availability outside of work. I am available for pet care and boarding on weekends and on weekdays after 6:00 p.m., allowing me to provide your pets with attentive and reliable care during my available hours. I have a fully fenced yard where pets can safely play and enjoy some outdoor time. Our neighborhood also has several nearby parks and a large open field close to our home, providing plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, and exploration. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I will follow the owners instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and other daily routines. I will also treat the home with the same care and respect I would want for my own home, keeping the space clean and secure while providing the pet with plenty of attention and companionship.
About: I already have two great dogs! A yorkie(4yrs old) and pitbull(8-9yrs old), I have a great backyard with lots of space to run around in. I’m able to take dogs that need time outside alone away from other dogs. As a dedicated stay-at-home dad managing our family's homeschool schedule and running a home artisan sourdough bakery, I am consistently on-site and present throughout the entire day. My daily routine allows me to seamlessly integrate hands-on pet care into our everyday rhythm, ensuring visiting dogs receive frequent check-ins, consistent supervision, and plenty of attention alongside my daily baking and family responsibilities. Because I do not commute for work, I maintain steady availability and flexible scheduling for both first-time and recurring clients, giving pet parents complete peace of mind knowing their dog is never left unattended. Welcome! My boarding setup is designed specifically for outdoor dogs who thrive in the open air and love spending their days active. Your pup will enjoy full run of a massive fenced backyard with continuous access to fresh water from large water troughs, alongside periodic leash walks to keep them exercised and engaged. Because this is strictly an outdoor boarding environment during the day, guests must be comfortable outside and friendly toward both other dogs and kids. Dogs are only crated at night for sleeping, or brought into shelter in their crates if severe weather hits with bathroom breaks provided every two hours whenever crated. Please remember to bring your dog's crate, food, a sturdy leash, and a secure collar or harness at drop-off
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.
