Personalized care for your dog or cat - Osage

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.

“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!”

“Definitely will be calling Dan anytime we need our baby well cared for. I appreciate getting updates on how she's doing and she loved playing with his dog. Great space to run and play.”

About: I absolutely love cats and understand that every kitty has their own unique personality! Whether your cat is outgoing and wants constant cuddles or is shy and needs plenty of time and space to feel comfortable, I’ll follow their lead and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, treats, and lots of attention and affection. I also know how important routine can be for cats, so I’ll do my best to keep things as familiar and stressfree as possible while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll treat your kitty like I would my own and keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know they’re happy and doing well!

“Nancy to the rescue! One day into our trip I realized I had booked Nancy for the incorrect days. When I contacted her she she modified our reservation and went over the same day to take care of our girls. We appreciate her so much!”

About: I've had cats my whole life growing up on a farm. I also have fostered cats in my home for animal rescue organizations. I have experience in administrating meds and have worked with a wide variety of injuries and illnesses with cats/kittens I've owned as well as fostered.

“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.”

“Our girls had a great day staying with Dan and playing with his chocolate lab "Finn" Dan was available on schedule and provided us an update during the day. The pups enjoyed the nice fenced yard. I would recommend Dan to anyone looking for a pet sitter”
