“Phoenix and Walter had their first stay with Ro last week for 6 days. She offered a nice meet and greet that allowed me to very feel comfortable leaving my pups with a complete stranger. Ro seems knowledgeable and compassionate about caring for animals and has a nice fenced in backyard for them to run and play. My pups didn't even seem excited to see me when I came to pick them up. Hoping to use her services again in the future.”
“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”
“Starla and her sons took great care of King. She kept us up to date with pictures and messages. He looked absolutely thrilled to be enjoying their company and big back yard. We will certainly request Starla in the future.”
“Brittany is wonderful!! She took amazing care of our furbaby and kept us updated regularly including with pics… we highly recommend her services and will definitely use her again on our next vacation!”
“Morgann is absolutely amazing! She made both my pups feel loved and right at home for their first boarding experience. Her knowledge of and experience with dogs was very evident. Her calm confidence really helped make this a positive experience and she sent several pics and videos throughout our week away so we could see our pups were doing well. We will definitely be boarding through Morgann again for the rest of our upcoming trips!”
“Joaquin and his wife are the best. My pups looked very comfortable and happy in their home. They were courteous and provided pics and videos during their stay. I would gladly book again!”
“We had Hannah watch our dog for the first time, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. She was kind, reliable, and communicative from start to finish. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely trust Hannah to watch our dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!”
“Isabel is the absolute best. She always takes such good care of our 2 senior pups and they seem to genuinely being at her house. She's also very good about sending photos and updates.”
“Dessie took great care of our dogs. She took them to the dog park and sent us updates daily. She also gave us a nice bag of treats, doggie bags, and a nice letter! I could tell my dogs were super happy with their stay and well taken care of”
“Omg I love Candice ❤️ She made sure that Yoshie had the best time away from home. She sent pictures and videos which made me happy to see that Yoshie was happy and enjoying herself. I will definitely be using her again and I’m excited about it.”
About: I was a zookeeper for 15+ years and have experience with a plethora of species. I have fostered animals of all kinds through different rescue organizations. I am a large breed person who currently has a smaller dog and cat. I spent many of my zookeeping years training animals, and have experience with strong stubborn dog breeds. I thoroughly enjoy a senior pet who will cuddle on the couch while I drink my coffee. I currently work from 9-1:30, with a spouse that works from home. My schedule allows plenty of time for morning walks and afternoon love and care. I am available for boarding most days, and dog walking, house checks in afternoons. A large portion of my yard is fenced so there is plenty of room for your dogs to stretch their legs outside of walks. I have a 30lb senior dog at home who occasionally enjoys a new companion. Otherwise my children love animals and always enjoy a new playmate, while being respectful of their boundaries. I prefer crating dogs whenever we are not home, at least until we know them and how they interact with my pets. I have crates from small to XXL so no need to bring your own.
“Tina was such a great sitter for Modelo. She kept me updated the whole time she had him and I knew he was really having a great time. I definitely plan to use her in the future”
“Kylo really enjoyed his time and seemed to just fit right in at Stephanie&Matthews home. it was such an easy drop off and pick up:) also appreciated the update pictures on all the days we were gone.”
“I found Christopher to be genuine, caring and professional. Rudy isn’t quick to warm up to people, and he adjusted well to Christopher’s home. Christopher seemed take each dog’s needs into account to make sure everyone was cared for comfortable.”
“She did an amazing job taking care of my baby girls, updating me every step of the way. Will definitely be using her again next time I need a sitter in Greensboro!! ❤️”
“Kaitlyn was so sweet with our dog. She tends to get pretty nervous with new environments, but she was able to adjust really quick. Wonderful to see pictures and updates every day. Highly recommend her services!”

“We had such a great experience with our cat sitter! She took wonderful care of Penny and Chance while we were away and gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were being looked after. Everything went smoothly, the girls were happy and well cared for when we got home, and we’d absolutely trust her to watch them again. Highly recommend! 🐾🤍”
About: As an aspiring veterinarian and Animal Science student, I've always had a passion for caring for animals. I've been the proud owner of my Shih Tzu for nearly 7 years, giving me firsthand experience with daily care, grooming, exercise, and understanding a dog's unique needs. I also regularly assist in caring for a well-loved Goldendoodle whenever his owner is away, making sure he stays on his normal routine, gets plenty of attention, and feels comfortable while his family is gone. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to provide safe, loving, and reliable care. I'm currently an Animal Science student, so my class schedule includes breaks throughout the day that give me flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with your pets. I'm also a member of a cheer team, but I plan my schedule carefully and will always make sure your pet's needs are met. I understand how important routines, attention, and reliability are, and I'm committed to providing dependable care and keeping you updated while you're away. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big decision, and I know that trust is something that's earned over time. I'm patient, dependable, and committed to building that trust by treating your pets with the same love, respect, and care that I give my own. Their safety, comfort, and well-being will always be my top priority. I also understand that being away from their owners can be stressful for many pets. That's why I believe caring for them in the comfort of their own home can help provide a sense of security and keep their routine as normal as possible. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for until you're back home. I also believe in keeping owners updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
“Whitney was truly a lifesaver! I was in desperate need of someone to look after Zoey after she was picked up from the facility where she was suppose to stay while we were out of town, but things changed. To make a long story short, Whitney provided the absolute best care for Zoey! From the very beginning, she was prompt, dependable, and caring. She kept us updated whenever she arrived and when she was leaving, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Whitney took Zoey on walks, made sure she was fed, kept us updated on how she was doing, and even worked with her on commands. Whenever Zoey successfully learned a command, Whitney rewarded her with a treat. She also took pictures and sent us updates, which we truly appreciated. It was clear that Whitney wasn’t just doing a job, she genuinely cared about Zoey and treated her like her own. We are so grateful for her help and would absolutely trust her with Zoey again. Whitney was dependable, thoughtful, and went above and beyond to make sure Zoey was happy, safe, and well cared for. I highly recommend her! ❤️🐾”
About: I have 15+ years of animal care in the zoo field. Many of those years were as primary caretakers of many feline species. Surprisingly enough, big or small all cats tend to be the same. I have fostered a plethora of species from multiple rescue organizations, and have rescued and re-homed cats that the cat distribution system have dropped at my door step. I currently have a smaller cat friendly dog and a cat of my own.
“Our first time using the service, and Sarah set the bar high. Communicated with us to help ease the worry of leaving our pet behind, and took great care to ensure everything was taken care of.”
“Cynthia went above and beyond. Our cats were in good care while my husband and I were away. Cynthia cared for them as if they were her own. She is very knowledgeable and kind. I fully recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”
“We have semi-difficult dogs, and Angie was excellent with them. It was reassuring to know that she was there to meet all their needs. She was on time with the scheduled walking and feeding. It is with the upmost confidence that we will be using her services again.”
“Lauren was great! Our dog absolutely loved her, and we can’t wait to book with her again soon. She is very sweet, and we know that our dog is in good hands with her while we are away.”
About: Animals have always played an important part in my life. I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was 10 years old. I have over 30 years of experience in animal husbandry and care. Whenever a family member needs to go out of town, I am the person that they ask to feed their cats and dogs. In 2021, I spent 5 months a friend's house with their cat and dog. I volunteer at the Guilford County animal shelter every Tuesday. Not only am I a pet sitter, I'm also a pet owner. I am currently owned by three Siamese cats and one Tuxedo. I have mastered the art of litter box cleaning and pill popping. I also understand that every cat is an individual and requires something different. I'd love to get to know your kitties.
“Christopher took excellent care of my cat, Grey! He was very attentive, made sure she was fed, and kept me updated throughout each visit with thoughtful messages and photos. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands while I was away. Grey looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I got home. I truly appreciate the care and communication, and I would absolutely book with Christopher again. Highly recommend!”
About: Cats have always had a special place in my heart. I have a 12-year-old cat named Petunia who I absolutely adore. For years, I said she would be my one and only cat, but that changed when I rescued a sweet stray cat who showed up at my mom’s house and later had kittens. Long story short, my mom ended up keeping the mother cat and two of her babies because we couldn’t say no to those adorable faces! Through caring for my own cats over the years, I have gained experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, administering basic care, monitoring behavior and health, and making sure cats feel comfortable and safe in their environment. I understand that every cat has a unique personality—some love attention and playtime, while others prefer their space and a calm presence. What sets me apart is my genuine love for cats and my attention to detail. I know how important it is to keep litter boxes clean, maintain routines, and provide plenty of affection and companionship when wanted.
“Kelly took excellent care of mybtwobpets while I was out of town for a week. He was a great communicator and sent pictures of the cats when he visited. I'd definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone that needs pet care.”

“Morgann took great care of our pup and was super understanding with our dogs first ever puppy sitter. We were really happy with how she communicated and her flexibility with our shifting schedule. Our pup came home super happy and in great spirits!”
“Our energetic sweet dog had a great day with Ro. I felt totally comfortable with her. She seemed like a natural with dogs, had a great backyard, played with our dog during the day. Our dog was loving all over her when we came to pick him up. Ro is great. Can’t recommend her enough.”

“Angie was amazing!!!! Having our dog stay with Angie was our first Rover experience and we could not be happier! Angie, her dogs and her whole family were all so welcoming from the moment we walked in. We instantly felt comfortable having our dog stay with her. Not only Angie's warming demeanor but also her extended experience working and volunteering at local dog rescue's reassured us that our dog was in safe hands. I actually wasn't sure if our dog wanted to leave! He had such a great time with the other pups. Another note is that her home was extremely clean and they have a very large yard out in the country. All in all Angie creates the perfect environment for your dog! I would love if Angie was in every town we go to haha! Highly recommended.”

“My mini poodle has separation anxiety and Sarah and her husband took great of him. I could tell by the picture of him he was relaxed and felt safe. I can't wait to use Sarah again and recommend that others do the same if you are seeking a warm and kind environment for your babies!”
“Thanks for taking care of Murdock for the weekend! I can tell he already wants to come back and hang out with the other pups. Looking forward to the next stay!”

With years of experience in drop-ins, walks, and giving medications, I’m confident your furry friend will be in safe, loving hands. I work three days a week as an RN, and the rest of my time is spent relaxing with animals, painting, drawing, and photographing nature 📸 My clients describe me as trustworthy, respectful, and detail-oriented.

About: With over 5 years of pet care experience, I specialize in providing compassionate, reliable care for all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra attention and support. My wife is my partner and helps me with dog sitting Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, allowing me to dedicate focused, quality time to each animal. I create a flexible schedule that accommodates pets’ unique needs, ensuring they receive consistent, attentive care throughout the week. I prioritize pets’ safety and comfort by maintaining a clean, pet-friendly environment and closely following each client’s care instructions.

“Tyra is the best and has helped me out in a crunch on a couple of occasions!!! Wilson has a fabulous time with her and I love that she sends photos and shares his experiences.”
“Tara has been incredible not only for Mr. Loki but for myself as well. He was excited to meet her even on our meet and greet before we started care and was immediately comfortable with her and her other dogs who are sweethearts as well. He’s been over there for a couple of weeks, but in that time, I’ve dropped him off and picked him up with the biggest smile on his face. She’s helped a lot with training as well since he’s my first dog I’ve had and he’s doing really well with that both at her home and at mine as I learn proper commands too. Communicates very thoroughly with me on how he was throughout the day, what he learned, and his overall behavior and she’s very attentive to care instructions. I couldn’t be happier with her care and honestly wish we found her earlier!”
About: I've taken care of many breeds of dogs, ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I have lots of patience, and love for all animals! I see animals as family! I also not only want what's best for your dog, but also what's best for you as the owner! I abide by set rules given, and always, always ask before doing anything out of schedule with animals! I'm currently working full-time, but I would love to make changes into petcare, if all goes well. Let me know when you need a sitter, and I can arrange! How I would care for a client's pet would solely depend on how the client would like for me to care for his/her pet. All clients have different rules to go by! What one client does for their pet, another client may not agree! Also, I keep in mind, how I care for my pets at home, may be different than someone else, and that's okay. All pets have different personalities, and care would be different with each one.

About: Professional Dog Trainer & Pet Care Specialist | Safe, Structured, Reliable ⸻ About Me With over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience, I bring a level of knowledge and structure that goes far beyond typical pet sitting. My background includes: • Veterinary medicine • Professional dog training • Boarding facilities • Rescue & shelter work I am a full-time dog trainer and pet care provider, recently relocated from Washington State to North Carolina to continue growing my career and offering high-quality, reliable care. Dogs in my care benefit from a structured, safe, and enriching environment. I pride myself on not just supervision, but true understanding of behavior, communication, and needs. Whether your dog is easygoing or has behavioral challenges, they will be handled with confidence, clarity, and care. ⸻ My Property & Setup Your dog will stay on a private 2.5-acre property designed for safety and structure. What sets my care apart: • Escape-proof, secure environment • Crash-tested crates for safety and comfort • Outdoor kennel runs for fresh air and downtime • Climate-controlled kennel building • 24/7 video + temperature monitoring • Strict daily sanitation protocols • Individual walks and/or structured group play • 🐶 Dog pool coming Summer 2027 This is not a chaotic daycare - it’s a controlled, professional environment tailored to each dog. ⸻ Experience with Behavior Unlike most sitters, I am experienced in handling dogs with: • Anxiety • Reactivity • Dog aggression • Human-directed behaviors • Resource guarding (food/toys) Safety is always the priority for your dog, other dogs, and myself. ⸻ Care & Supervision • Dogs are always supervised when out • When supervision isn’t possible, dogs are safely secured in a crate or kennel run • Structured routines help reduce stress and prevent unwanted behaviors 👉 All dogs must be crate trained to ensure comfort and safety during their stay. ⸻ Policies • Drop-off & pick-up by appointment only • 🚗 “Pet Taxi” (door-to-door transport) available weekdays only • Clear communication and punctuality are expected and appreciated ⸻ Meet & Greets To set dogs up for success, I have a structured meet-and-greet policy: ✔️ In some cases, owners may visit the property to view the setup ❌ We do not allow dog introductions while owners are present Why this matters: • Dogs are more likely to have altercations when over-aroused by their owner’s presence • Some dogs become protective or possessive • Owner anxiety can unintentionally impact the dog’s behavior This approach allows me to introduce dogs calmly, safely, and professionally. ⸻ Best fit for: • Owners who value structure and safety • Dogs who need clear boundaries and routine • Dogs who may not thrive in chaotic daycare environments ⸻ I treat every dog as an individual and prioritize safety, structure, and clarity in everything I do. If you’re looking for more than just a sitter—someone who truly understands dogs and provides a secure, professional environment—I’d love to work with you. 📩 Send a message to discuss your dog’s needs and see if we’re a good fit! Feeding times are available up to three times a day. Pups spend most of their time playing together out and about on the property, with short naps throughout the day in their kennels to allow for appointments and cleaning! All dogs are crated whenever unsupervised. As long as a human is available, the dogs are welcome to hang out about the property, in a kennel run, or chilling in the house. All kennels, crates, yards, bedding, etc are sanitized in between clients.

About: I've owned dogs and taken care of pets for neighbors, friends, and family members since I was 6. I have experience training puppies and am prepared to provide enrichment for high energy, low energy, young, and old pets alike. I love them all. I am currently a masters student at UNCG. I have classes on Monday and Wednesday and work with various performance groups throughout the week. My schedule is variable, so even though I am busy there are a lot of moments in between my daily tasks that allow for attention to be extended to a pet. In client's homes, I am respectful of any rules and protocol you'd like me to follow. I will stay in designated areas and follow any instructions you leave for me. If your pet is visiting me I don't have a yard, but I live in a quiet and very walkable neighborhood. I am on the ground floor of a house, so there are no risks associated with a deck or being multiple floors up in a building. Pets are welcome in all areas of my space, including on the furniture, unless you have a rule at home you would like me to reinforce as well. In my own home, pets are an extension of the family and are treated as such. I am an active person and would love to provide long walks, hiking, lake visits, and more with the permission of pet parents.

I understand how important it is for animals to get their exercise and it is necessary for us to live a long life. Let me keep your dogs in shape and love your babies. God bless you! Thank you for your time and consideration. I’m currently working part time cleaning houses and would have plenty of time to care for your animals. I could come as needed to take care of your fur babies. I have chickens and dogs and make sure they are fed and watered daily. My dogs get walked every other day, I try to keep them active.

About: Hey Everyone! I am a college student trying to make some 💵 this summer! I have two cute doggies I take care of everyday that I give infinite affection to, I have a 12 year old (Coco) and a 6 year old (Olive). I have dealt with dogs my whole life, so not to worry. I promise to give the same love and affection to your adorable pups! I am working part time. Monday-Sunday I can walk or drop in and care for your pups. However not every weekend I will be able to pet sit, just message me and we can rearrange something. I will make sure your dog becomes comfortable and safe with me, to give him/her lots of love and affection, and treats for being the best doggies in the world! If you have a shy doggy I can always work with him or her on feeling safe with me.
About: With 30+ years of experience working with animals, I bring a lifetime of knowledge, compassion, and hands-on experience to every pet in my care. My background includes pet sitting, veterinary hospital work, canine behavior modification and training, and animal rescue. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science as well as a Master’s degree. I offer in-home boarding for dogs under 30 pounds, in-home pet sitting visits (including cat care), and dog walking services. My veterinary and caregiving experience allows me to confidently care for pets with a wide range of medical and special needs. I am comfortable administering medications, including oral medications, injections, and subcutaneous fluids, and assisting with surgical recovery—from minor procedures to major orthopedic recoveries and rehabilitation. I also have extensive experience caring for senior and special-needs dogs and cats. Three of my own dogs have had heart conditions, and two of those also experienced seizures, so I understand firsthand the additional attention and care that medically complex pets can require. I have taken numerous obedience and training classes with my own dogs and have extensive experience with training and behavioral modification. While your pet is in my care, my goal is not simply to keep them safe, but to help them feel happy, comfortable, loved, and enriched while you're away. A Family Home for Your Dog I am a mom to three wonderful, animal-loving daughters and serve as the North Carolina Rescue Coordinator for Cavalier Rescue USA. I currently have three dogs of my own, and our family regularly welcomes foster and boarding dogs into our home. My children and dogs are accustomed to having new furry friends join us and genuinely enjoy welcoming them! Our boarders are treated just like our own pets. They are welcome throughout our home, including on the furniture, and are included in our normal family routine. I'm home most of the time, and when I do need to leave, it's generally for no more than 1–2 hours at a time. Our home also features a secured, covered deck attached to a fenced yard, giving the dogs a safe and enjoyable outdoor space to relax and play with us. We use baby gates throughout the home where appropriate to help prevent accidental escapes through doors, unsupervised access to stairs, and other potential safety concerns. Because I want to provide a calm, personalized experience, I do not board dogs from multiple families at the same time. Your dog will receive my full attention rather than being one of many dogs in a crowded boarding environment. Additional Grooming Services While your dog is in my care, I can also provide minor grooming services, including: Baths Nail trims Anal gland expression Teeth brushing Ear cleaning Paw and facial hair trims Brushing Requirements for In-Home Boarding To ensure everyone's safety and comfort, dogs staying in my home must: Be comfortable and experienced around children and other dogs Be housetrained (pee-pad trained dogs are not accepted unless they are puppies) Be current on vaccinations or have proof of appropriate titer levels Be maintained on heartworm and flea prevention Be neutered if male Be spayed if female, or not be in heat during the boarding stay Be crate trained, which is important for their safety during the brief periods when I need to leave the house Pass a required meet-and-greet before boarding so we can make sure my home is a good fit for your dog—and that your dog is a good fit for our family You will need to provide your dog's regular food and treats for the duration of their stay. Pickup and drop-off are available by appointment only between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM. My philosophy is simple: when your pet is in my care, they are treated like family. I want you to have peace of mind knowing that your dog or cat is receiving experienced, attentive, individualized care from someone who truly understands animals and loves what she does. I’m home most of the time caring for my own dogs and children. When I do need to leave, it’s just for quick errands or driving the kids somewhere. I’m available midday each day, for walks and drop-in visits for cats, farm animals, etc. We have a fenced yard, gates throughout the house, and deadbolt all doors to ensure we take extra time to secure dogs before entering and exiting.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had more than the average number of pets, which gave me extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Over the last six years, my family has owned and operated Cedar Brook German Shepherds, where I have helped care for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs while helping them find loving homes. Through my experience with dogs, I have learned the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding that every dog has unique needs and routines. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, exercise routines, basic grooming, administering medications as instructed, and providing extra care and attention to senior dogs and puppies. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and the genuine care I have for every pet I work with. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs a long walk, playtime, companionship, or extra patience and attention, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give every pet the same level of care, attention, and affection that I would want for my own. Pet care fits very well into my schedule. I am currently finishing my master’s degree online and work as a personal trainer/basketball coach, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. Because I complete my coursework from home and have control over much of my work schedule, I am able to dedicate time to pet visits, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and providing companionship. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so pet care is a natural fit alongside my current responsibilities. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or consistent care while you’re away, I am committed to making sure they receive reliable attention, care, and plenty of love. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I have a fenced-in backyard that provides a safe space for dogs to play and get exercise. I also have spacious crates available if a pet is crate-trained or if an owner prefers their pet to have a designated space. I always follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I am also happy to care for pets in their own home. I understand that many pets are most comfortable in a familiar environment, so I will follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, routines, and any special needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat every animal with the same level of attention, patience, and care that I give my own pets.

About: As a young girl I've always had a fondness for animals. I would beg to have a dog until I finally got one. Pepper. Then later Betsy. I've had guinea pigs and rabbits. A rat and mice. Hamsters and chinchillas. I loved them all. I have been around farm animals quite a bit. I'm in love with horses and could even provide care for farm animals. In high school I started working at the vet clinic that at the time offered boarding services. I did that for a short time. In that time I have dog/house sat for family friends. Now in more recent years I've dog sat and currently work for a boarding business. I have been there a full year now and I love it. It is part time hours and would like something extra that still involves animals. Dog walks and care are not a problem for me. I would love to help anyone with their precious pups. I'm also trying to advance in trade skills and become a dog trainer.
About: I am nursing student with a love for dogs. I currently own two Siberian Huskies. I rescued my husky Max from the local animal shelter in 2013. Animals are my passion. I have experience with dogs that have had cancer and myasthenia-gravis and megaesophogas. I am available any day of the week. I have a medication technician license so I know how to administer medications, if you animal needs it. I know how to do animal CPR if the need were to ever need it. Dogs big or small and cats I love them all

“Phoenix and Walter had their first stay with Ro last week for 6 days. She offered a nice meet and greet that allowed me to very feel comfortable leaving my pups with a complete stranger. Ro seems knowledgeable and compassionate about caring for animals and has a nice fenced in backyard for them to run and play. My pups didn't even seem excited to see me when I came to pick them up. Hoping to use her services again in the future.”

About: I was a zookeeper for 15+ years and have experience with a plethora of species. I have fostered animals of all kinds through different rescue organizations. I am a large breed person who currently has a smaller dog and cat. I spent many of my zookeeping years training animals, and have experience with strong stubborn dog breeds. I thoroughly enjoy a senior pet who will cuddle on the couch while I drink my coffee. I currently work from 9-1:30, with a spouse that works from home. My schedule allows plenty of time for morning walks and afternoon love and care. I am available for boarding most days, and dog walking, house checks in afternoons. A large portion of my yard is fenced so there is plenty of room for your dogs to stretch their legs outside of walks. I have a 30lb senior dog at home who occasionally enjoys a new companion. Otherwise my children love animals and always enjoy a new playmate, while being respectful of their boundaries. I prefer crating dogs whenever we are not home, at least until we know them and how they interact with my pets. I have crates from small to XXL so no need to bring your own.

The Hoomans had been trained nicely and made me feel at home. This was my first time away from Momma and Papa. I did really well. Papa, not so much. But the pictures really helped. Tabitha, Momma, and Papa send their thanks.”
