Personalized care for your dog or cat - Benedict

“We left our pup with Nancy for boarding while we were out of town. Nancy went above and beyond to ensure he had exercise and wasn't at home all day - bringing him to the dog park, out for walks, etc. Nancy is very responsible and kind, and took great care of our dog!”

“Wonderful. If you’re nervous about leaving your pets in the care of a stranger, look no further than Gabrielle and family. I have two one year old pups/dogs, Waboos and Finley, and had the best experience ever leaving my babies in their care. They sent me updates and photos throughout my trip. I am incredibly grateful. I will definitely seek Gabrielle’s services again the next time I have to leave town without Waboos and Finley in tow!”

“Kaylee was so wonderful. Ivy had never done daycare or boarding. She received lots of love and got to meet chickens! Although it was a short visit we would love to have Kaylee watch Ivy again.”

“We were nervous about leaving Nora with a stranger but he put us at ease right away. He has a kind and calm manner. Nora was relaxed with him right away too. He sent us a photo before we even left and a couple more during her overnight stay. He has a nice fenced in yard as well. He helped us out when we were in a serious bind and made a stressful situation easier to deal with. We greatly appreciated that.”

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember and have done pet sitting mostly in the summers for many years as I am a teacher! I currently don’t have a pet but will again in the future. I recently had a husky mix and golden retriever in my home. I have worked with cats and dogs of all sizes and have taken care of up to 3 at a time! I am responsible, timely, organized, and thorough in my efforts. I will make sure to adhere to all of your specifications as well as share any necessary information for you to know! I look forward to the opportunity to care for your precious family friend and make sure they feel loved and nourished while you’re away! During the school year, my son and caretaker are always home at my house and I also come home for lunch. During holiday breaks and the summer, I’m home full time! In my home, we have spaces where your dog can be alone if needed. They can also be outside if that’s what they enjoy.

About: I have years of experience working in grooming, doggy daycare, at a vet clinic, and a credentialed dog trainer. As a graduate of the Academy for Dog Trainers and member of the Pet Professional Guild, I take low stress, fear free management and training seriously. I do not use aversives such as prong, choke, or shock collars, I do not use corrections. I do use food, toys, happy talk and body language to motivate and redirect behavior. Please tell me if your dog has dietary restrictions or if you have allergies to common dog treat ingredients. As an owner of dogs with chronic health concerns I understand that medical concerns can be complex and require strict adherence. Medications, injections or other special needs are fine with me. *Please note I do have a staircase in my home. Your dog will need to be comfy with either using carpeted and walled off stairs or with me carrying them.* Having had to stop training due to my own health, I'm now primarily a work at home artist. This offers a great deal of flexibility in adapting to the needs of the dogs with me. I have a (tolerant) senior dog, a cat and two fenced yards for your dog to explore. Doggy guests are treated like family and join us in play, sniffing and relaxing.

“Kona was well taken care of. Ashley sent updates and pictures for me. Which was great because it really put my mind at ease. Really great experience!! Highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. My experience with most animals is pretty well. I use stern commands and also make sure that the pets that I take care of feel like they’re right at home. I am a full time teacher and on the weekends I bartend. I make sure that my dog gets well taken care of during the week by walking her before work or after work. I make sure that she gets played, fed and walked. I make sure my dog is well taken care of and I abide by whatever the client expects from me. Trust is huge in being able to care of someone’s precious baby.

“Nancy was a purrfect pet sitter for my 2 cats! I felt so at ease knowing she was caring for them and I got texts and picture updates which was great while away. They were very well taken care of! Above and beyond care from a true pet lover! I would recommend Nancy to anyone who asks!”

About: I’ve taken care of many cats growing up and well into my adult life. I love playing with them and making sure that they get the love they need.

“Nancy was amazing for my Sadie! And what an angel of a human, went above and beyond for not only my dog but myself. Very early in the morning pushed my car out when I got stuck, and still let us come back 😅 Sadie was nice and tired each day when she came home which is exactly what I hope for! Would absolutely recommend Nancy for your pups.”
