“Marianne took great care of my little dog Nina. I was a nervous, first time dog boarding pet-mom and Marianne sent regular pictures and updates that definitely eased my fears! Nina came home healthy and happy, she really seems to have enjoyed her stay!! I will definitely be booking another stay. ?”

About: I grew up on a farm and had animals of all kinds around me. From chickens, cats, dogs, cows, pigs, horses and even lizards - you name it and I've probably helped with it! I'm currently retired and would love to hang out, go for walks and show your family member lots of attention when you aren't able to. We love dogs and live in a quiet lakeside neighborhood with the opportunity for long, lazy walks. We have a crate onsite and can crate as needed.

About: As a fur mom myself and dedicated pet care provider, I understand that your dog is a cherished member of your family. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pup feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, exercise, and companionship. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply relaxing, I'll tailor my care to their unique personality and routine. You can count on me to be dependable, patient, and attentive to your dog's needs. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos, or even videos so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry baby is happy and in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your dog and providing the loving care they deserve! Former children daycare provider and now staying home taking up online classes to be a Radiology Tech. Taking online classes gives me a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the day. Because my coursework can be completed from home and on my own schedule, I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. Pet sitting fits well with my routine, and I enjoy being able to spend quality time with animals while balancing my studies. Our home is located on a quiet farm, providing a peaceful setting where pets can relax and enjoy plenty of fresh air. I make each pet's safety and comfort my top priorities by following their normal routine for feeding, exercise, and rest. Dogs receive lots of attention, supervised outdoor time in a fenced playground on our front yard,walks or play sessions, and plenty of affection. Inside, they have a clean, comfortable space to rest and feel at home. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

“Vanessa and her Family did an outstanding job of taking care of my 2 huskies for the 6 days and nights when I was traveling..... I will definitely be using her services in the near future. Thank you for your love for dogs. John S.”

She sent pictures of them when she visited which I really appreciated. Flexible schedule and showed up when she said she would. Communicated if she was running behind or had to change times. Highly recommended as an in home pet sitter!”

About: Growing up we had a few dogs. We owned a black lab, German Shepard, and German short haired pointer. Our family loved our dogs! In my adult life we haven’t owned our own dog, but we look forward to be being dog parents someday soon! We have also cared for family members & friends dogs, including a Huskie, Border Collie, and golden retriever. I’ve been wanting to get into pet care for a few years, I just haven’t had the space for it. We bought a house with a backyard that is perfect for doing so & now we’re going for it! I work full time at home & my wife Emily is a stay at home mom, while she’s fishing her masters degree. Between us we can easily give your pet the attention/time they deserve while they are away from you. We have a nice size backyard (no fence), along with plenty of room inside to move around and play. We have the flexibility to go on walks whenever they need & we are open to caring for all ages of pets as well as any energy level! We will meet them where they are at. The only pet we have is Merlin our cat. He is timid initially meeting new friends, but adjusts and does just fine once acquainted.

“I am so grateful for Marianne! I was in a bind and needed somewhere for my dog to stay while traveling through and desperately reached out to her at almost midnight the night before needing service and she was so wonderful to take my little pup for a few hours while I had some work meetings. JUNO was very happy to meet her and went right up to her when we pulled in the driveway. She took great care of Juno and had excellent and speedy communication. Highly recommend her and will be using her again next time I’m in the area!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets for many years now. My kids now share that experience and love running around with energetic puppies and cuddling with the older animals. I currently work full time but am available on the weekends, holidays, and certain weekdays. We go on walks and visit the dog park daily. I have a big fenced in backyard and 1 fur baby that loves making friends and playing with other dogs. We enjoy games of fetch and tug-o-war and do light training.

About: My daughter, Hannah would like to take care of furry (or non-furry) friends. She is almost 15 and my husband Joshua or I will be accompanying her as she takes care of your pets. We've had dogs for years. We've raised puppies, and taken care of our friend's pets many times. Hannah has taken care of dogs, cats, gerbils, hedgehogs, horses, ponies, goats, and chickens. She loves all animals. My husband and I work in education and have summers off. We can help transport Hannah for your pet care needs. We'll also be there for support. D We walk our dogs at least twice a day and run regularly with our one-year-old puppy. We also have an older golden retriever. We have administered medications, and shots, and can do some basic grooming.

About: Animals have always been the center of my world — not just pets, but family, healers, best friends, and some of life’s purest companions. Caring for animals isn’t something I simply do for work; it’s who I am at my core. Throughout my life, I’ve consistently chosen the love, loyalty, and connection of animals above everything else, and I truly believe they deserve to feel safe, adored, and understood every single day. I have hands-on experience working in doggy daycare and pet boarding environments, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. From playful puppies to anxious rescues and senior dogs needing extra patience and comfort, I’ve learned how to create calm, loving environments where animals feel secure and genuinely cared for. My experience includes supervising group play, feeding routines, maintaining safe and clean spaces, and understanding canine body language and behavior. I also have a background in dog training and believe deeply in patient, loving, positive reinforcement-based guidance. I understand that every animal communicates differently, and I take pride in building trust, confidence, and strong connections with the pets I work with. Whether reinforcing routines, practicing good leash manners, or helping anxious dogs feel more comfortable, I approach every animal with calm leadership, compassion, and respect. Alongside my pet care experience, I practice Reiki energy healing and naturally bring a calming, grounded energy into the environments I care for. Animals are incredibly intuitive, and I’ve found many pets respond beautifully to gentle, peaceful energy — especially those who are anxious, sensitive, elderly, or adjusting to new surroundings. My goal is always to create a space where animals feel emotionally safe, relaxed, and genuinely loved. What sets me apart is the heart I bring into every interaction. I’m deeply attentive, nurturing, intuitive, and naturally protective over the animals in my care. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, gentle reassurance, structured care, or simply someone to love them like their own family would, I’m fully committed to providing that. I understand how important trust is when leaving your beloved companion with someone else, and I promise to care for your pets with the same love, patience, and devotion I give my own. Nothing makes me happier than seeing tails wag, nervous pets relax, and animals feel truly at home. For me, this isn’t just pet care — it’s a calling rooted in love, compassion, healing, and a genuine zest for life and all living beings. Pet care is naturally woven into every part of my daily life because animals have always been my priority and passion. I currently care for 6 dogs, 8 cats, and 1 goat of my own, so my days are already built around structured feeding schedules, exercise, enrichment, grooming, cleaning, affection, and individualized attention for each animal’s unique personality and needs. My routine revolves around creating calm, loving, enriching environments where animals feel safe and understood. From morning walks and outdoor time to play sessions, training reinforcement, cuddle time, and evening wind-down routines, caring for animals is truly second nature to me. Because I live such an animal-centered lifestyle, adding client pets into my routine feels seamless, intentional, and joyful rather than stressful or inconvenient. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining a safe, calm, structured, and loving environment that keeps pets comfortable and emotionally secure. I pay close attention to each animal’s routine, energy level, temperament, dietary needs, and comfort preferences so they experience as little stress as possible while their owners are away. I believe consistency, patience, and communication are key. I maintain feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication routines if needed, exercise, enrichment, and plenty of affection and supervision. I also use my background in dog behavior, training, and Reiki energy healing to help animals feel relaxed, confident, and emotionally supported. I treat every animal as if they were my own family member and strive to create an atmosphere where pets feel safe, loved, mentally stimulated, and genuinely cared for.
