About: I've taken care of and owned many types of animals in my life including but not limited to Dogs, Cats, Mini horse, turtles, geckos, bearded dragons, snakes, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, ferrets, birds, and rabbits. I love all animals and nature!

They are spoiled and love to play and will keep your pup company. I own 2 crates if needed. My dogs usually have 24/7 access to their food. However if needed during boardings (when I'm offering that service) if feedings are scheduled for a specific time this can be worked with as well.

We lost our 17 year old dog, Dudley last year and I’m missing a furry companion during the day. I’d love to meet your Pet family and spend time with them! I’m home most days and pretty flexible. Ideally I’d like to provide regular doggie daycare for the same family as needed. But for now hoping to find a few furry friends to share my work days with.

About: Relocated here from Iowa. Enjoy working with different dogs. Pet lover. I completed 6 months of Veterinarian Assistant classes online. Life happened and I had to take a pause. But I am thinking about going back and finish obtaining my associates degree in the field. So whether it be house sitting with the animals or simply doing some walking or activities, I don't mind and will enjoy my time with them. Its something I enjoy as one of my hobbies. I am available during the week days. Every other weekend I work night shift at this time. I enjoy play time with pets because they too have different personalities. Love Dogs. We cuddle mostly and play. Take walks outside. Play fetch with their toys. It's cool to go to the backyard and be socialable with nature. I think it helps with sensory awareness.

About: I love animals, and have been around them my whole life. I’m the type of person who greets the pets first before the owner! I had a four year old Bernese Mountain dog named Mabel, who I had since she was a puppy. Unfortunately she was diagnosed with an aggressive, incurable cancer, and I had to say goodbye to my best friend recently. So I have experience with potty training, leash training, and lots of patience. Millie is a rescue, and she’s an angel. She is so good with other dogs too, I just know she would have been the best mama! I’m a full time nurse, so I know my schedule about two months in advance. Unfortunately, I’m not as flexible as I wish I could be, but know I’ll definitely try my best to help you and your pets! If you give me time to plan, that helps me a lot. I live in a rental property, with a fenced in backyard that Millie loves! We love our dog parks, multiple walking paths, and nature trails. Your dog will definitely be active with us, weather permitting of course.
About: I’ve been around and taken care of animals all my life especially dogs! I couldn’t imagine my life without them! They truly are a part of the family! I work remotely and am home day and night unless I’m transporting my kids to activities or events. This makes for a very flexible schedule to take care of pets! I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for running and playing. I have 3 dogs to help keep your pet company! I also have dog beds for resting and a foldable crate stored in case it’s needed.
About: I’ve had dogs consistently in my house since I was born. We have had big german shorthairs, as well as miniature schnauzers so I’m accommodating to any size dog, and can easily take care of them. I’ve just returned from school abroad and am back looking for a full-time job but in the meanwhile will be petsitting/walking/etc. whenever is asked of me. I have a pretty free schedule, so most any booking should work. I would be super considerate of any rules applied by the owners whether in the clients home or mine. I just have a lot of fun bonding and playing with animals, so I’m happy to perform all pet care servcies.

Currently I am not able to board any dogs but I am more then open to do check ins for your pet if you are out for the weekend or gonna for the day! I am more then open to answer any questions you have about me!
About: We have had the pleasure of owning a small business called "Pet-Inn" and boarded many dogs! Me and my mom took care of others dogs for quite some time and really enjoyed it. This experience helped me become passionate about entrepreneurship as well as working towards a compassionate connection with your pets! I currently have a part-time small business I'm running apart from being a "SAHM" so I will have plenty of time to get to know your beloved pet and get to know them so I can take care of them in the best way I know possible! I have some free time in my schedule, so finding a slot during the week to care for your pet works well for us. I have a now 6-year-old who adores small dogs, cats, and other animals! I am well aware of the responsibilities of pet care, but I want to emphasize that your pet's safety is my top priority.
