“Meredith was amazing, my dogs loved her! I have an 80lb Weimaraner and 26lb beagle and they aren’t the easiest dogs to walk together. My Weimaraner can be reactive to other dogs, sometimes pulls, and they both sort of go their different paces with the beagle stopping to sniff constantly. My neighbors and family that saw her out with my dogs said she handled them beautifully and we had no issues. My Weim also doesn’t love everyone he meets, and he immediately took to her, trying to lean/snuggle with Meredith, so she must give off the good vibes to animals. Meredith was also very communicative. I never worried that she wouldn’t show and an added bonus was the photos she sent. I would definitely recommend using Meredith and will use her again myself :)”

I completely understand first hand the value they give to the quality of our lives.

I have lots more love and affection to share and plenty of flexibility in my schedule to fill in the gaps for you and your pup. I can't wait to meet them and you! Boarding in my home will be limited to just your dog(s) so that your pet(s) and mine are receiving the attention and love they deserve. I am not currently working full time so I have flexibility to spend time and bond with your precious fur baby - no skimping on the attention!

About: I bring a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, from raising and training puppies to caring for senior dogs. As a semi-retired healthcare professional, I’m responsible, observant, and attentive to details. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I recently found myself unexpectedly semi-retired and looking to stay active while doing something I truly love... spending time with dogs! This year, I lost my beloved Bernese Mountain Dog and am missing having a dog in my life. I’ve raised and trained dogs from puppyhood, including a Border Collie (if you know, you know!) and my Bernese, as well as cared for many other dogs over the years. I’ve also boarded friends’ dogs and provided drop-in care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet because I’ve relied on great dog sitters myself, who treated my dogs as part of their family. I’d love the opportunity to give your dog the same love, attention, and care I would want for my own. My priority is always the safety, comfort, and well-being of your pet. I’ll follow your instructions and routines carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if applicable, leash requirements, and any crating or other guidelines you provide. During walks, I’ll stay alert to our surroundings and be aware of other dogs, people, traffic, and anything else that could affect your pet’s safety. Most importantly, when I’m caring for your pet, I’ll be present and engaged, not distracted by my phone. I want your dog to get my full attention, whether we’re out for a walk or spending time together during a drop-in visit.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’ve raised my own pup since she was just 8 weeks old. Because of that, I’m really comfortable with routines, structure, and all the day-to-day things that help dogs feel secure. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’ve trained my family’s dogs over the years and I’m always happy to keep up with whatever training plan you already have in place. I’ve also had the incredible experience of fostering multiple dogs, which has deepened my love for animals and taught me how to adapt to different personalities and needs. I love getting dogs outside; beach walks, park trips, or just a good sniff-filled stroll around the block. And if your dog enjoys car rides, I’m completely comfortable driving them where they need to go. At the end of the day, I treat every dog like they’re my own: with patience, structure, and a whole lot of love. I’m currently in nursing school and Im a certified yoga instructor, but caring for my own dog is a built-in part of my day. No matter how busy things get, I make time for her walks, her routine, and her little moments of attention, and I bring that same consistency to any dog I’m watching. I’m a pretty active person by nature, so if I’m not in class or teaching a yoga session, I’m usually out getting some fresh air in some way, and having a dog with me just makes it better! Whether it’s a quick neighborhood stroll or a longer outing, I’m always happy to get a pup out and moving. In my home, dogs have access to a fully fenced yard where they can safely explore, play, and get their energy out. I always keep an eye on them during playtime so everything stays safe and comfortable! I’m totally fine handling feeding routines and using crates if that’s part of what your dog is used to, especially when I step out of the house. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick to whatever routines you already have in place. If your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing indoors, I’ll match that! I focus on making your pet feel secure and at ease in their own space, and I stay attentive to their needs so they have a calm and positive experience while you’re away.
About: I began cat and dog sitting in my early teens and now I an 55. I have always had a deep love for all animals. I have volunteered for a cat rescue for the past 14 years where I have cared for over 60 cats from bottle babies to older cats. I can administer diabetic insulin shots and some meds. I would treat your furry baby as if he/she is my own. I am self employed so I make my own work schedule, allowing me to accommodate yours. I look forward to making your life easier. I currently have 2 cats of my own. I will send you updates and photos continuously. I am a local Realtor so my schedule is very flexible and I will work around your pets needs. I’ve given diabetic insulin to pets as well as prescribed pills. I will put your pets right at ease as they will sense that I am a pet lover the second they meet me. We will be instant friends but they will also know who’s in charge.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. As a stay-at-home mom with a dog of my own, your pup will be treated like a member of my family and receive plenty of attention, companionship, and love throughout the day. I provide a safe, comfortable home environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel at ease while you're away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're gone. Because I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time, each guest receives personalized care and attention. I work from home, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, and your dog will never be left alone. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going for walks, and making sure every pup feels comfortable and cared for while they're with me. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to safely run, play, and explore. Your dog will be treated like a member of my family and will receive lots of attention, affection, and supervised outdoor time. My friendly family dog, Ollie, loves making new canine friends and helps visiting pups feel right at home. To ensure a calm and safe environment, I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time and encourage meet-and-greets before boarding. You'll also receive regular photo updates so you can feel confident your pup is happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
