“I am delighted to say my dogs couldn’t have had a better vacation than what Danielle provided for them. A doggy proofed house so they could sleep on the sofa and me not being concerned they would make a mess. Backyard completely closed in. Sent me updates and pictures. You couldn’t ask for someone better to love your pets while you are gone! Thanks so much Danielle!”

“Shellie gave my husky so much love I am forever grateful! I have a 6 year old Siberian Husky with pretty bad separation anxiety. She went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable. She sent me updates (pictures, videos, ext.) that made it easy for me to know he was in good hands. Thank you Shellie!!”

“My 19 month old Shih-Tzu "Asher" had an amazing time with Dustine and her family. It was the first time I left him overnight anywhere and she was in constant contact with photos to let me know he was fine. I also loved the idea that she had children there to play with him and keep him occupied. I will definitely book with her when the need comes up.”

About: I bring 15+ years of professional experience in crisis intervention and behavioral health to every dog in my care — which means I’m especially good at reading stress, anxiety, and behavioral cues that other sitters might miss. I live on a spacious rural property with two resident dogs of my own, plenty of room to run, and XL crates set up for large and giant breeds. I’m confident and calm handling big, strong dogs, and I treat every pup like part of the family while they’re with me. Whether your dog needs a quiet, structured space or some extra patience working through anxiety, I’ve got both the background and the room to make it happen. I work a full-time job during the week, but pet care is built into my daily routine — mornings before work and evenings after are dedicated to walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m fully available for boarding and daycare on weekends, and since I live on-site at my property full-time, dogs in my care are never left alone for long stretches. Because my schedule is steady and predictable, your dog gets consistent care at the same times every day — not rushed, last-minute visits. My property is rural and spacious, giving dogs plenty of room to roam safely away from traffic and busy streets. I have two friendly, well-socialized resident dogs who are used to welcoming new dogs into the pack. For dogs who need crate time or a calmer introduction, I have XL crates set up specifically for large and giant breeds. With 15+ years of professional experience in behavioral health and crisis intervention, I’m trained to catch stress and anxiety cues early — so small issues get handled before they become big ones.

About: I’ve taken care of so many dogs since I was younger, so many have relied on me, and trusted me with their dogs and having to deal with walks, feedings, medications (mostly oral meds). I have such a huge passion for dog care and love spending time with so many fur babies at my previous job at a doggy daycare. I have about 3 years and 8 months of hands on experience in the dog field. Reading body language, training and much more.I treat everyone’s furry babies as if they were my own. I have recently relocated into a new state and so everything is new for me here! But I’m happy to meet all these new furry friends and show all the care I have for each. I’m currently unemployed so my schedule is pretty open. I’m here whenever you need me! Is basically my motto as of right now! I’m here to care. I have two fur babies of my own one being a 4 year old lab retriever mix he is very socialized and can keep your fur baby or babies company if they are well enough with other dogs. Can always bring him on walks with us or to come and visit and play or stay with. I also provide adventures. But with my services I can provide in home care, overnight care and or drop ins. And as said walks! Whatever you need I will go above and beyond to make sure everything you need is done!

About: I have been a dog lover and owner all my life. Getting outside and getting plenty of exercise is something I consider to be especially important. I enjoy taking long walks and playing catch, chase and tug-o-war with all kinds of puppies. Need a sitter or just a quick walk? I can even bathe your puppy if necessary. I am looking forward to sharing my time and helping out with your fur baby! Have a blessed day!

About: 🐶 Dog Owner for 16 Years ♥️ Experienced with Senior Dogs ♥️ Experienced with Blind & Deaf Dogs 🐩 Professional Dog Cuddler I raised two Yorkies into their senior years. I am experienced with administering medication & caring for fur babies that need a little extra attention. I work from home & will be with your baby the entire day with the exception when I leave to run errands. Unless of course, your pup loves a good car ride. Daily walks are also part of my routine. My dogs have crossed the rainbow bridge & I do not have children, so your dog will receive my undivided attention. I have a semi-permanent gate that separates the dog area of my home that is used when I leave the house. It ensures the safety of the dogs finding trouble.

I have no pets now and I only work 7 days every two weeks so I'm ready to hustle! I typically only work 7 days every 2 weeks so I’m home pretty frequently.
