Personalized care for your dog or cat - Staples

“Amber was absolutely amazing with our girl!! She had the perfect set up and I knew from the moment I met her, our pup was going to be very well loved and cared for. She sent me pictures the whole weekend! I highly recommend her!”

“Judy had a great time staying with Grace. It was really nice for her to be able to play with other dogs. Our dog seemed really relaxed and happy around Grace. It's great having peace of mind knowing our pet is safe while we are out of town.”

“Mike and Niki took wonderful care of our Poodle puppy, Baxter! They took him to a lake, a dog park, for several walks, and showered him with attention. They sent many updates and pictures, which we loved. We will definitely request their services again! Thanks Mike and Niki!! - Brandi & Chad”

About: Lifelong animal experience – I’ve cared for animals my entire life, not just as a job but as a way of life. • Real dog-owner perspective – With 2 dogs of my own, I understand routines, energy levels, training reinforcement, and emotional needs. • Calm, patient care – Great for shy, anxious, senior, or high-energy dogs who need consistency and understanding. • Individualized attention – I don’t do “one-size-fits-all” care. Walks, play, feeding, and downtime are tailored to your dog. • Trust & reliability – I show up on time, follow instructions closely, and communicate clearly so you can relax while you’re away. • Home-style love – Your dog is treated like family, not a booking. Hi! I’m Shelbie, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all personalities. I live in a peaceful rural area with plenty of space for play, walks, and safe adventures. Your furry friend will get the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! Dog Boarding (In My Home – Female Dogs Only) For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I only board female dogs. My Australian Shepherd has a strong personality, and keeping our home harmonious means I cannot accept male dogs. Female pups are always welcome, and they’ll receive lots of love, playtime, and cuddles in a safe, home environment. I work full-time from 8–5, but I’m happy to stop by during my lunch break for local drop-ins to take your sweet guy or girl out for a potty break, walk, or some love. I’m available after 5 PM, all day on Wednesdays, and all weekends. I’m reliable, flexible, and always happy to work with your pet’s routine whenever possible. I care for pets with patience, consistency, and lots of love—whether in my home or yours. While I don’t have a yard yet, I live close to a dog park and provide plenty of walks, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep dogs happy and exercised. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, play, and downtime. Safety and comfort always come first, and I make sure pets get individual attention, affection, and enrichment. In your home, I respect your space while ensuring your pet feels secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Very very happy to find Chad. He has a convenient location. I think our Golden was the luckiest dog being with Chad. It’s obvious how much he loves dogs. I could rest assured our Ginger was happy.”

About: Dogs deserve to feel at home while they’re away from home! I have cared for and trained dogs for most of my life and have plenty of time and love to share with them. I currently work from home and am home with my dogs all day. I would love to spend time with your dogs whether you are away at work or are having fun on vacation. My home can be the place where your puppies have fun on their vacation too! I have a fenced in yard for the dogs to run around and safely play outside and cozy dog beds and a couch for them to sleep inside.

About: I've had dogs in the house since I was a little girl! My boys really love dogs and have just as much energy! I want your pet to leave happy and ready to come back again! I am available on weekends, I am available on week days in the evening also. I just need to know your pets routine and can adjust as needed. I have plenty of space to walk your pet outside and can take them out as many times as needed. Our Rex sleeps with the kiddos and a wonderful snuggler and we love all this kisses and anuggles.

“Nick was a great sitter for Wilson! There was extensive communication ahead of the boarding to confirm he understood Wilson’s care instructions, and regular updates throughout his stay. I would leave Wilson with Nick again without hesitation.”

About: My husband and I have fostered over 30 dogs in the past 4 years. I’ve been around and caring for dogs for over 20 years, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including multiple dogs at once. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, medications, cleaning up after pets, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’ve also fostered dogs, so I understand how important patience, consistency, and making pets feel safe can be. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will keep you updated while you’re away! I work Monday through Thursday during the day with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available for pet care during the day, evenings, Fridays, and weekends. I’m also available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays depending on my schedule. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and give them plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and a safe, welcoming home where pets can relax and feel comfortable. I have friendly dogs of my own who are used to other animals, but I’m also happy to keep pets separated if that makes them more comfortable. I’m comfortable with crates, feeding routines, walks, medications, and special instructions. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated while they’re in my care.

“Dogs were happy. The facilities were great, and it was clear the dogs were well cared for.”

About: I am a 32 year old dog lover with 2 furry friends of my own. I am an Education Coordinator that works from remotely from my home in Verndale. I am available most parts of the weekday on the weekends as well. I have experience with all sizes of dogs with having a Golden Retriever and Shih Tzu/ Poodle mix. I have had numerous breeds as pets throughout my lifetime. I cannot wait to meet your dogs and create a lasting bond with each and everyone of them. I am willing to pop in for visits, walk them or possible overnights. I will treat your 4-legged friends as one of my own! Thank you for your time and God bless you and your family. I work from home so I have time to go and visit your fur baby throughout the day. I also am available most nights and weekends. I have two friendly dogs that could keep yours company if you are comfortable with that and I also will make sure they feel loved.

About: I’m a lifelong cat lover with experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities. From playful kittens to sweet seniors, I understand that every cat has unique needs—and I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. If your cat needs medication, extra patience, or senior-specific care, I’ve got you covered. Need brushing to keep those coats smooth? Interactive playtime to burn energy or relieve boredom? Or just a calm presence and cozy companionship? I’m your girl. I treat every cat with respect, gentleness, and lots of love—because cats deserve care that feels safe, familiar, and stress-free.

“Amazing!!! Eva is wonderful! She is so kind, sweet, loving and responsible! We felt at great ease with her staying with our 2 kitties! One needs insulin as well and she knew exactly what to do! It was obvious they were very well cared for!”

“We were vacationing in the area and needed someone willing to take our puppy for a few days. Grace was very responsive and willing to help us out. Ranger was able to spend a full day making new friends and romping around her fenced in yard. We'll definitely reach out when we're back in the area.”

About: Your pets stay in a calm, cozy, home-away-from-home 💖 I have a dedicated pet room with kennels, beds, toys, TV, and a camera for constant monitoring. Hi, I’m Gigi! 🐾 I’ve been independently caring for dogs and cats since I was 18, and animals are truly my safe space. I work evenings in healthcare, so your pets get a calm, structured routine during the day and a cozy, relaxed environment at night. ✨ What makes my care different: • Dedicated pet room (beds, toys, TV, kennels) • Camera-monitored space for safety • Separate areas if needed for comfort • Calm, low-stress environment (no chaos boarding vibes) I’m experienced with multiple pets, different temperaments, and keeping routines consistent so your pet feels secure and happy 💕 I treat every animal like they’re my own — with patience, love, and attention to detail. I work full-time evenings (2:30pm–10:30pm) in healthcare, so mornings and late nights are dedicated to pet care. Pets get morning potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and attention before I leave, and I’m home at night for more care, walks, and wind-down time. My schedule works especially well for pets who are used to a consistent routine and overnight companionship. I provide a safe, calm, and structured environment in my home. I have a separate pet room set up with kennels, beds, toys, food and water dishes, and even a TV for comfort. I also have a camera to monitor pets while I’m at work to ensure they stay safe. I follow each pet’s routine closely, can crate if needed, and always prioritize comfort, cleanliness, and security.

About: I adore all animals (especially dogs!) and take pride in prioritizing your pet’s safety and comfort. Over the years, I've had the privilege of caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, birds, and fish! I'm committed to providing the same level of love and care for others that I provide for my own pet, a wonderfully wiggly cocker spaniel. I have professional experience training my spaniel on wildlife detection work, and I understand the needs of high energy breeds. I received two degrees from the University of Nebraska; a Bachelor of Science in Fisheries and Wildlife, and a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish. Two of my favorite activities include spending time outside, and giving lots of love to animals. I am currently working to build on my existing client base and have lots of time to play, walk, or keep your pet company. Have any questions? Ask away! I can accommodate your preferences- whether that's providing company, playing, exercising, or doing some scent work exercises to work your pooch's brain! The safety of your pet is my number one priority. On walks, I practice situational awareness and always keep an eye out for off-leash dogs or other potential hazards.
