About: I’ve had animals of all kinds my whole life! I’ve had dogs, cats, geckos, and rodents. I’ve even cared for horses and chickens. I have plenty of experience caring for puppies, seniors, animals with special needs, and reactivity. I am also currently in school to become a dog trainer and behavioral professional, so that service will be available once I receive my accreditation! I am available on weekdays, as I work part time on the weekends. If or when weekends become available I can also fit those in where I can! My yard is completely fenced in, with a doggy door to my living room where I have fresh water available. There are gates up to keep the pups out of the kitchen, and I have a 3 dog crates (2 XL, 1 Medium) I can use if your pup needs them. They will be supervised full time. I have probably a hundred dog toys as well. I have two dogs and one cat myself, my two dogs (A lab and cattle dog mix) are very friendly and playful and love meeting new friends. My cat has his own personal space in our home. I also have puppy shampoo, and deshedding shampoo incase of muddy pups!
About: Hi, I'm dependable, stay-at-home dog lover who provides a safe, fun, and loving environment for you're pup while you're away. I've had dogs my whole life, including two yellow labs who lived long, happy lives (15 and 12 years old.) I currently have a friendly 1-year old yellow lab who love's new friends to play with! I have another red fox lab coming soon- June 2026! Because I'm home full-time, your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day- no long periods alone. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where the dogs can run and play safely. Our days are filled with fun activities like pool time, agility play, fetch, and lots of love and interaction. Your pup will be treated like family in our clean, non-smoking home, with plenty of space to relax and feel comfortable. I'm happy to follow your dog's routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions to make sure they feel right at home. If you're looking for a safe, fun, and attentive place for your pup to stay, I'd love to care of them! ❤️ I can only take 3 dogs per day for daycare and for boarding. I can only take dogs that are up to date on vaccines as I am having a new 8 week old puppy joining our family in June 2026. I will ask that you please provide me with a copy of vaccines. I only accept dogs that are spayed/ neutered Pups that are 8 months old or younger are accepted. Please note; Per my homeowners insurance, I cannot accept the following: Pitbul/ Pitbul mix Rottweiler Doberman German Sheppards Chow Chow I would love for your dog to become of our pack! As much as I love dogs, people are asking if their dogs can sleep in my room and on my bed. For the safety of all dogs that are boarding, I prefer they are in a crate or in a kennel at night. I ask that you bring your own as that is what your dog is used to, it's own safe space. If they are not crate/ kennel trained, I do have a large space to roam with a fence. If the pup is a small bread I do have a play pen for your pups safety.

About: I’ve had 2 dogs in my lifetime. They were potty trained when they were puppies. One of them was trained to go to the diaper, but then they were both trained to ask to go potty outside by standing by the door and bark. They were spoiled with love, food, and a bunch of fun. If they needed medication, we would administer it to them. When one of my dogs became old and couldn’t jump onto or from the bed, we got him a small stair so he could get onto his favorite spot on the bed. Sometimes he would ask to potty in the middle of the night and I would get up to take him out in the back yard so he could relieve himself. I currently work full time but my wife currently stays home all day. Your pet would be taken care of in the morning before heading to work and then my wife would take care of your pet during the rest of the day. Then I could take care of them in the afternoon. We can do boarding all week long. I have a fenced back yard where your pet can run around. There are no plants that are harmful to them. I have two cats that can keep your pet company. I can easily crate your dog if required or requested.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. It all started when my mom’s friend couldn’t find the time to make sure her pup was happy. So she relied on me to make sure that her pup was happy. I love animals, I have my own and I make sure they get whatever it is they need even if it’s just cuddles. I am a college student, who is home for the summer and looking to earn some extra money. I currently do not have a job. I treat all pets with genuine love, gratitude, and affection. I will provide a comfortable and safe environment as well as the right amount of exercise.
About: I will love your dog as if it were my own. I have 2 springer spaniels that love to play. I can give special care for a dog that needs meds or has a special diet. I have had fur babies in the past that require special attention. I work a full time job out of my home so taking in dogs during the week is super easy as I’m home all day everyday. We have underground fencing otherwise your dog will go on a tie out. We have 2 entrances that can accommodate. I can also take crate trained dogs. If you don’t want to bring your kennel we have one to use as well.
“Madison was extremely helpful with my Maverick. Not only did she accommodate pick up and drop off times, but she was also able to sense Maverick was overwhelmed on the first day, and took the time to get to know him. By the second day, he was much more relaxed with her and Benji, so I know he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again. Thanks, Madison!”

About: I have had both cats and dogs almost my entire life and have worked as a Veterinarian Technician in an animal shelter and for a small family owned Vet. I strive to bring my knowledge and love for animals to my community so that pet care can be more affordable for regular people (such as myself). With the knowledge I have gathered from both working in office, having pets, sitting family pets, and my many years of pet grooming I hope to make my home a safe haven for your pet. We can also discuss natural treatments for pets which I've studied for a while now when it comes to specific breeds, mixed breeds, and their genetic ailments.

If you would like for me to train them please let me know. Please contact me directly. I currently work from home and have a really flexible schedule. More than likely your pet will stay in the room with me (if they choose as i love cuddles as much as they might). Your pet can also hang out in the living room if they choose. They will go outside as many times as needed through the day until I get off at 5:30pm which then we will go for a walk. I also have a back yard. In which I will allow them to exert any additional energy throughout the day. I care for pets by paying attention to them and understanding the small hints they give indicating what they need at that time. I also create a potty schedule based on the dogs water/food intake to avoid accidents. I have no pets at the time so your pet will have my full attention. If permitted by the owner, I will groom, bathe, and train their pets.

About: I’ve been looking after dogs since I was a kid—family, friends, neighbors, you name it. I’m someone people trust to show up, take care of their pets, and treat them with respect. I’m working part-time at Subway and taking classes at MCC, so I’ve got a good balance of structure and flexibility. I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after class. I make sure to plan ahead so your pets get the attention and care they deserve—whether it’s playtime, walks, or just hanging out. When I’m taking care of pets, I make sure they feel safe and relaxed—whether it’s in my place or theirs. I keep things clean, follow their routines, and give them plenty of attention. I know every pet’s got their own personality, so I adjust to what makes them comfortable, I treat every animal with the same care I’d give my own.
About: I grew up with multiple cats and dogs so I’ve been around them my whole life. I currently own 2 cats of my own so I know what it’s like when trusting someone else with your fur babies. With the proper instructions I can deliver meds or even take a mountain of photos for updates with the fur kiddos, just lmk. I work in the evenings during the week so I’m free most weekends. During the week I can do anytime in the morning to middle afternoon. I have 2 cats that I love with my whole heart and have certain instructions for so I get it when other people have preferences of their own. As long as they are communicated I will do everything in my power to uphold them and if I can’t I would get in touch with the owner and come up with a game plan.

As someone who works part-time during the day, I have the flexibility to provide pet care in the mornings, evenings, and weekends.

Whether it’s an early-morning visit before work or evening cuddles, I’m happy to adapt to ensure your pet feels loved and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and happy in their familiar surroundings. I stick to their established routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, or walks, to keep things consistent and comforting for them. For dogs, that might mean exciting walks or outdoor play, while cats might prefer quiet companionship or engaging with their favorite toys. I make sure their environment stays clean and safe, and I’m happy to administer medications or meet any special needs. Along with meeting their physical needs, I give plenty of cuddles and attention to help them feel secure and loved. I treat every pet like part of my own family, ensuring they’re well cared for until their owner returns.
