“Our dogs have stayed with Melissa a few times now and they always have a wonderful time. They are very well cared for and Melissa does a great job of communicating with us daily to let us know how our babies are doing!”
“Cassie is amazing! Her and her family make our pup Miles feel like he's one of their own. She sends regular updates with pictures and he's always a happy boy when we pick him up. We'll continue to book with her whenever needed.”
“My senior pup just got home from a wonderful weekend with Patti! He had the best care and we received regular updates and photos. My dog has vision issues among other senior ailments and needs medication at meals. Patti was so patient and helped him navigate the new space, always making sure he was safe. We felt so comfortable with Igor in Patti’s care and look forward to him visiting her again!”
About: Over the past 20 years, I’ve cared for three of my own dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, giving me firsthand experience with every stage of life—from potty training and high energy phases to gentle senior care. I’ve also raised kittens into senior cats, so I’m comfortable with feline personalities and needs as well. Beyond my own pets, I’ve regularly helped care for the dogs and cats of family and friends. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, love, and attention I gave my own. As a stay-at-home mom, pet care fits very naturally into my daily schedule. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, maintain their routines, and provide a calm, present environment while you’re away. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own space. I take a patient, gentle approach and pay close attention to each animal’s unique temperament—whether that means playtime and energy for a young pup or a quiet, reassuring presence for a shy cat. In addition to everyday care, I’m experienced in administering medications, including oral meds and insulin injections for diabetic cats. I understand how important consistency, attentiveness, and trust are when caring for pets with medical needs, and I’m confident providing that level of care. I’ve also been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends over the years, helping with walks, feedings, routines, and lots of affection. Every pet I care for is treated with the same love and attention I gave my own. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and your pet a calm, loving experience while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities, whether I’m caring for them in your home or welcoming them into mine. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog and cats who are accustomed to other animals, creating a calm and welcoming environment. I’m mindful of introductions and each pet’s personality to ensure everyone feels safe and at ease. Dogs are always leashed for daily walks, and I have a large yard that allows for extra exercise and playtime in a secure space. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to closely supervise pets, maintain their routines, and give them consistent attention and companionship. When caring for pets in your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any special preferences you share. I also offer meet-and-greets before bookings so you and your pet can feel comfortable and confident. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me, and I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in loving, attentive hands.
“Thank you Deanna and Maui for letting Remy hang out with you guys!! It’s so nice to not have to worry about how Remy is doing when we’re out of town! Deanna takes such good care of Remy and he has a blast playing with her dog too!”
“Athena is so kind and so compassionate, my dogs loved their time wither her & her family. They loved their new friend Rufus❤️ communication was outstanding, lots of pictures. It was such a comfort knowing how well cared for and loved my boys were while I was away. They were part of her family ❤️❤️❤️”
“Savannah was great! She welcomed Charlie with open arms and an open heart! Couldn't have asked for a better caretaker! Five stars just doesn't do her justice...should be ten stars! Thank you Savannah and family! Kathryn and Milt”
“Gail was fantastic & brave! We just adopted Bernie from the shelter a few days before a planned vacation...bad timing on our part! Gail was wonderful with him and sent us updates, as I was really nervous about leaving him so soon. She was reassuring and very understanding. I definitely would use Gail for boarding...if she will have him again!”
About: I come from an animal-loving family and have either owned or looked after any personality a dog could possibly have! Big ones, small ones, needy ones, naughty ones, nervous ones, old ones, lazy ones, you name it! I pride myself on being “that person” that dogs naturally gravitate towards (it runs in the family). My family recently lost the last of our 3 dogs (our 15 year old Puggle), so I am equipped for even the old guys & gals too! Your dog will not just be cared for, they will be spoiled and loved on as my own. I know how hard it is to trust a stranger with your baby, and Ive got you! I'll do anything your dog (or YOU) requires to be more comfortable. Even if you want to FaceTime your dog while you’re away...I won’t judge :). I know boarding places can be scary and stressful for a lot of dogs, and my goal is to provide a reliable, safe, peaceful, fun, and loving environment while you are away. PLEASE READ :) Due to the fact that I have 2 small children, I cannot under any circumstances accept: -Dogs that have never been around children -Dogs that have any specific aggression (towards food, toys, other dogs, etc.) -Pit Bulls/Rottweilers. I realize this is controversial and maybe even unfair, and If I didn’t have small children this would not be an issue, but my kids come first and I have to be selective to protect them. Being that we are caring for dogs we have never met, I cannot take the risk for breeds that could possibly do extensively harmful damage to them in a worst case scenario situation. Again, I love all dogs/breeds and realize these breeds are normally the sweetest dogs, I am just mitigating any and all risk as a protective Mama. I am currently a stay-at-home Mom! I am home every day with the occasional runs to drop my son off at preschool, or attend my own appointments that come up/occasional errands. Although I am home most of the day, I cannot accept dogs that have separation anxiety, as I do have weekly errands/school drop offs/grocery pickups etc. that take me away from the home for a small amount of time. I live in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. I have a partially fenced in yard, but I would not be taking any dogs out without a leash. My back yard is hidden away from the main street and is great for taking dogs out. Rest assured they will have lots of potty breaks and sniffing outside breaks. We are pretty chill here! Once the weather warms up, walks are definitely in the daily schedule if wanted/needed... or just some sunbathing outside for the dogs who love a nap in the sunshine.
“Rikki and her family are super pleasant. She took care of our pup and I trusted her completely. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and experienced caregiver. Thank you so much, Rikki! We enjoyed our vacation and had zero worries. You rock!!”
“Savanna kept my puppy for a week while I was on vacation. She did a wonderful job keeping me posted with pictures. She was also flexible and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her.”
“She was awesome. Very friendly and her dog was very playful and friendly. Her family is awesome with animals and my dog loved them. She sent photos while we were gone of my dog playing with the others. Would highly recommend her”
“Debbie was very good with Rocket! We met ahead of time so he could meet her and her dog Oscar and I could tell he’d be in good hands. She sent lots of pictures of him and kept us updated on what they were up to (playing, going to the park, on walks…). SO much better than a kennel/pet lodge where he’d have spent 90% of the time alone in a room.”
“This was Rosy’s first stay away from home so we were a little anxious (Rosy is our 1 year old mini doodle) but Kirsten and her husband couldn’t have been more wonderful and welcoming! Rosy was loved and cared for while we were away for the weekend, and we received text updates and photos that reassured us that she was in great hands! We would highly recommend and cannot thank you enough, Kirsten!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life! I’ve had my own pet sitting business I’m very passionate about pet care. Your pet will be safe here! Between me and my husband we’re almost always home. We do have classes for a few hours during the week. We have pets of our own so we already have a very well set schedule when it comes to them. We can gladly work with any schedule you may already have. I will care for your fur babies like they are my own. I love my pets like my kids they’ll be well cared for here!
“Kristin and her family were a great fit for our 4pack of crazy. Everyone was happy and even a little tired on the ride home. A clear sign that they had been "living their best life" as fur babies. Highly recommend and will definitely use again in the future.”
“Mindy was great with our Sadie! Sadie is a recue/rehome from a breeder and has never been boarded before. Mindy bonded with Mindy and did very well with her. We could not have been happier! The Sbaraglias”
“Nathan & Jenna are amazing hosts. Kora was not over excited during her stay but is missing her host & friends when back home. Nathan was sharing frequent videos for Kora daily and also, picked/dropped her off.”

“✨ 5+ STARS ✨I have much gratitude for Marcy. I had a last minute request for a 2-week job, and she handled it flawlessly and promptly. And this was my very first experience utilizing Marcy’s services. She’s professional, reliable, and clearly adores the furbabies! I’ll definitely contact Marcy for future needs!”
“Isis was great with our old and big girl! Our dog has a hard time with our couple of steps and Isis came over to help take her out and in while we were away. She was kind and patient and did what we needed. We are very happy we booked her and will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I love all animals, right now I only take care of my own two guinea pigs but I wish I had a dog or cat to take care of! I used to babysit two cats and one of them had diabetes so I know how to do that if your pets need at home shots! I am always off work Wednesdays but there are a few days I work every other week and can take care of of your pets mostly in the morning on those days but Wednesdays is all day if needed! I will play with them, I will make sure they get the right amount of exercise, I will make sure they are fed when needed and give them extra cuddles too!
“Eleanor has been AWESOME! We feel so blessed that she is looking after our furry babies when we are away from home. She takes really good care of them and she gives us real peace of mind while we are gone knowing they are being well cared for.”
“Elli did a great job checking on Lulu during my vacation. I enjoyed receiving photos of Lulu playing with Elli and getting her tuna treat! It made me less worried about leaving her for the first time! I will use Elli again for certain!”
“I was very skeptical to hire outside of family and friends but am so happy I found Shane! Shane scheduled a meet and greet with me at my home to become familiar with my cats and their needs. A week leading up to my trip, he confirmed we were still scheduled to need his assistance, and provided daily updates/pictures while we were away. I cannot recommend Shane enough and happy I've found a trusted pet sitter in my absence. Thank you, Shane!”
About: I’ve cared for a variety of dogs and cats over the last 10 years. I have also always had dogs of my own; currently have 3 beautiful girls. I love all pets, small to big and young to old. Athletic enough for young ones’ energy and gentle enough for seniors’ care. I have a background in pet health care and have also worked at a kennel in the past. Taking care of your animals wouldn’t even be a service to me; my love for them makes it easy. I work full time, but depending on location would be able to do walks or drop-in visits on my lunch breaks. As well as before or after work, if needed. I am available for house sitting pretty much any day of the week with at least 1-day notice. I have adequate knowledge on when a dog may be feeling stressed or threatened and know how to handle the situation accordingly. I can crate your dogs, if required. I do my absolute best to avoid distractions while on walks.

With years of experience and a personalized approach, I ensure your pets feel like cherished family members! . Your peace of mind and your pet's happiness are my top priorities. 🐾💕 Pet care fits into my daily routine as a top priority.

“Tommi did a great job with JuJu. She went beyond what was expected of her due to some circumstances that came up and it was very appreciated! It meant the world to me to know JuJu’s comfort and well-being were so important to her. She also sent me photos and videos and followed instructions really well! Would definitely hire again.”

“April took wonderful care of Hank today during his daycare stay. He is snoring as we speak from all of his fun sniffing in the yard and working on a puzzle toy. Her large fenced in yard is any dog’s dream!! We received lots of pictures and were laughing at his many doggy yoga poses. I am an anxious dog mom and I was able to relax today while away. April was wonderful with her communication and really put me at ease during our meet and greet! We would highly recommend her!”
About: I am very reliable and will treat your pet as a part of my family. I have potty trained successfully all of the dogs I’ve had as well. I can send daily updates/photos as needed also. Your peace of mind is my priority. I work from home, which means your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day and frequent opportunities for potty breaks, outdoor time, and play. I have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room to explore and play, and I can also provide up to two walks a day depending on your dogs normal routine and needs.

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve self-trained my own dogs and I’m comfortable reinforcing basic obedience commands like sit, stay, leave it, and leash manners (especially helpful for puppies and energetic dogs). I also have experience caring for a dog with seizures who requires medication, so I’m confident with administering meds and supporting pets with special routines or extra care needs. In addition to my own pets, I’ve regularly helped neighbors and friends with pet sitting and daily care. I’m attentive, calm, and safety-focused, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I also groom and bathe my own dogs, and while full grooming isn’t typically part of my services, I’m absolutely willing to help if an urgent situation arises. I’m self-employed and work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of needs. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and check-ins, including hourly relief when needed, and I can do multiple drop-ins throughout the day. Because I’m home often, I’m also able to give pets consistent attention, supervision, and routine support. Care looks a little different depending on whether I’m in your home or mine, but my top priorities are always safety, routine, and clear communication. I expect to communicate frequently during your pet's visit with me. In my home: For daycare or boarding, I require that dogs are crate trained, since dogs will be crated overnight and anytime I’m not home. I also require up-to-date vaccine records to keep everyone safe. I have two dogs of my own, so I carefully monitor introductions and compatibility. We do have a yard, but it is not fenced, so all outdoor time is supervised and on-leash. In your home: During our meet & greet, we’ll go over your pet’s routine in detail (feeding, potty breaks, walks, medication, etc.). I ask that any important care instructions are also listed in your pet’s Rover profile in writing, so everything is clear and consistent. I’m happy to follow your household routines as close as possible during the visit.
“Our pup Maggie was in great hands with Kirsten J. We have never left her alone or have had her boarded with anyone until now. Communication was terrific and Maggie came home happy and exhausted from playing all day long 🙂 we will definitely have Kirsten watch her again in the future.”
“Maya did a great job with Merlin. Not only did she take good care of him but gave him some much needed play time. She even found some new food for him that he loves. Maya went above and beyond.”
“My dog Arthur has very specific needs and doesn’t feel comfortable with just anybody. Arthur seemed to settle right in, and take over. He even ate his dinner which he doesn’t do when he’s nervous or anxious. I’m hoping that Chris will be available again sometime when I would like to get out of the house. Extremely pleased!”
“Rylie loved being able to play outside with Lucy. First time I’ve had to take her to a dog sitter that she doesn’t know - she had no problem warming up to Courtney and everyone. Will be using again! Excellent communication- thank you Courtney!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats alike as long as I can remember. My family, neighbors, and friends trust their fur babies with me because I treat them like they are my own. I am a stay at home wife, so my day is completely free to look after your fur babies. I have all the time needed to provide a safe and happy stay. I have a fenced yard and two of my own fur babies to keep your baby happy and entertained. The babies are allowed on the furniture and in my bed if they need it.
About: We have experienced owning a 10 year old bullmastiff, two huskies, and a dog that we rescued from the river while we were kayaking. We consider every dog our child. I work from home for the last 6 years so the dogs have all day to play inside or outside. There is always someone at home with the dogs at all time. I have a fenced in yard and 3 very friendly dogs to keep your dog(s) company. I can also crate your dog(s) if needed. There is also a very nice dog path near my house if you want me to walk them.
About: Your pet is treated as my own and a family member. Your fur baby is not crated unless you request that and provide the crate. Your pet gets to go outside and run and play several times a day. I go out and encourage playing and running for exercise. When the weather permits, we walk through the field and explore along the canal. If your pet is older and doesn't want to play or explore, that's ok. I have plenty of shaded areas for them to just lounge and take a snooze while I sit with them and read. I would love to share your fur babies with you. Must provide proof of all shot records (including Kennel Cough vaccine). I insist on a meet and greet to make sure that your fur baby is going to be a good match with our family. I do not board pit bulls (or pit mixes), German Shepherds, Rottweilers it any aggressive dogs for my safety as well as my pup. I am retired. I never leave your pups alone. If I need to run to the store, my husband is here with the pups. When the pups are outside, I'm outside work them. I have a large fenced in back yard and a standard poodle that would love to play with your pup/pups and keep them company. She loves having new playmates.

About: Hi I have seven years professional animal care experience. I worked for six years at the Animal Hospital at the Crossroads in Carmel, CA, and for one year at the Casitas Hotel for Cats in Los Angeles, CA. Resume available upon request. I am available for overnights, drop-in visits, and walks. I'm available to care for your animal if I am not already booked. Last-minute requests are always considered. My schedule is pretty flexible! I have indoor cats, and I cannot take care of your pets in my home because I already have two cats. But I am happy to come to your home, or even do drop-in visits and walks.
About: I've had dogs growing up, five of them being German shepherds and the other four being a lab and two mutts and a dachshund, and we've had tons of cats. We currently have two German shepherds and I walk them a ton and I spend a lot of time taking care of them, and then we have a dachshund who I just rescued from the place I work at. The place I worked at does dog boarding/daycare/training. I was a kennel tech so I just took care of all the boarding and daycare doggies. And on the weekends I also took care of all the training dogs when/if the trainers were away. I worked there for over year and loved it, only leaving because I started college and moved away. I have had to deal with so many different dogs and their personalities and I've definitely learned to have a ton of patience with the job. I have been working in general since I was 14. I started at some neighbouring farms, doing farm work so I could ride their horses and earn some money. I then did a couple restaurant jobs and then found the place I currently work at. I have done dog sitting and cat sitting before many times, sometimes for family or friends of family who I don't know but I am happy to help out. The most I have dealt with at one time was seven dogs in total. I have watched people's dogs get trained while at work and I have been trained to use an e-collar and a prong collar so I am able to use those correctly! I really loves my job, it means a lot to me I get to be in that environment and I'm depended on to keep them all safe and happy. And I am a second year student at Muskingum University, I am majoring in Animal Studies in hopes of having an animal conservation related job. I'm a college student and normally drop in between classes and have the rest of the day to tend to pet's. During the summer I am usually employed and work around my schedule At home I spend time walking the dogs mostly and hanging around the house with them. Every client I feel is different in how things are done at their home, so however you take care of your pets I'll follow
About: I love all animals, right now I only take care of my own two guinea pigs but I wish I had a dog or cat to take care of! I used to babysit two cats and one of them had diabetes so I know how to do that if your pets need at home shots! I am always off work Wednesdays but there are a few days I work every other week and can take care of of your pets mostly in the morning on those days but Wednesdays is all day if needed! I will play with them, I will make sure they get the right amount of exercise, I will make sure they are fed when needed and give them extra cuddles too!
About: Thank you for your interest in my business! I am a long time dog lover, owner, and care giver! I'd love the opportunity to customize a visit and care for your furry little one in your absence. Specializing in senior care, we can provide a quiet and calm environment to decrease the anxiety your baby feels while in a new place. Pets inside the home are fixed and vaccinated and can or may not be a part of your pets stay. Reach out with how I can help you today, I can't wait to meet you! Pet care is my full time job! Rest assured your furry one is in great hands at all hours of the day, and always ready for a walk, a catch, or a potty break! I have crates, leashes, and training treats at the ready! Always a clean and fluffy blanket, fresh cool water, and a partially fenced in yard to play in. (Hoping to finish summer '24!) Always happy to accommodate any special needs or requests!
About: Animals have been a constant in my life, and over the years I've owned dogs, cats, rats, mice, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even hatched eggs via an incubator. That kind of variety builds real hands-on experience, a calm comfort around all breeds and temperaments, and a deep respect for the responsibility of caring for another living thing. What animals want most is attention, and that's something I have no shortage of. Your pet won't just be watched — they'll be engaged, cared for, and treated like family. Whether it's a walk, a feeding, or house sitting, you can count on me to show up and give your pet exactly what they need. My schedule is flexible and I can almost always make time — just reach out ahead of time. I'll follow any special instructions, respect off-limit rooms, and stick to whatever routine works best for your pet. My schedules pretty much open I could always make time if need be. As long as it's scheduled ahead of time my schedule is opened. I would care for their pets just as they would. Any special instructions of course I would follow. Any rooms that are off limits, limit the outside time etc
About: I currently work at an animal shelter, where I care for a wide variety of dogs. My daily responsibilities include administering medications, cleaning and maintaining living spaces, walking, and socializing the animals. I also assist with humane calls and the safe capture of stray dogs. With this experience, you can be confident that your pets will receive their medications on time and that their environment will remain clean and well managed. In addition to my professional work, I have been a lifelong dog owner, which has given me years of personal experience in providing attentive and compassionate care. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. At the animal shelter where I currently work, I spend each day administering medications, cleaning, feeding, walking, and socializing dogs. Beyond my work responsibilities, I also care for my own pets at home, which means I’m consistently providing structure, attention, and affection. Because pet care is already a regular part of my professional and personal life, it fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. In my home and in clients’ homes, I make pet care a top priority. I focus on providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while following each pet’s individual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, administering medications, going for walks, engaging in playtime, and offering plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure to maintain a tidy space and monitor for any changes in behavior or health so pets stay happy and well cared for. My goal is to make pets feel secure and loved, whether they are in my home or in their own.

I live in a multi pet household and know that not all dogs (even the same breed) are the same! I will love your pets as if they were my own!
“This was my first time using Rover (and the first time having anyone outside of family care for my puppy), and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I have a young Doberman with a lot of energy, and Arya was patient, calm, and firm in just the right way—which is exactly what she needs. He took her on a nice long walk, and I really appreciated the videos he sent along the way. They gave me peace of mind and made the whole process so much less stressful. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and confident with energetic dogs!”

“Our dogs have stayed with Melissa a few times now and they always have a wonderful time. They are very well cared for and Melissa does a great job of communicating with us daily to let us know how our babies are doing!”
“Cassie is amazing! Her and her family make our pup Miles feel like he's one of their own. She sends regular updates with pictures and he's always a happy boy when we pick him up. We'll continue to book with her whenever needed.”
“My senior pup just got home from a wonderful weekend with Patti! He had the best care and we received regular updates and photos. My dog has vision issues among other senior ailments and needs medication at meals. Patti was so patient and helped him navigate the new space, always making sure he was safe. We felt so comfortable with Igor in Patti’s care and look forward to him visiting her again!”
About: Over the past 20 years, I’ve cared for three of my own dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, giving me firsthand experience with every stage of life—from potty training and high energy phases to gentle senior care. I’ve also raised kittens into senior cats, so I’m comfortable with feline personalities and needs as well. Beyond my own pets, I’ve regularly helped care for the dogs and cats of family and friends. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, love, and attention I gave my own. As a stay-at-home mom, pet care fits very naturally into my daily schedule. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, maintain their routines, and provide a calm, present environment while you’re away. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own space. I take a patient, gentle approach and pay close attention to each animal’s unique temperament—whether that means playtime and energy for a young pup or a quiet, reassuring presence for a shy cat. In addition to everyday care, I’m experienced in administering medications, including oral meds and insulin injections for diabetic cats. I understand how important consistency, attentiveness, and trust are when caring for pets with medical needs, and I’m confident providing that level of care. I’ve also been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends over the years, helping with walks, feedings, routines, and lots of affection. Every pet I care for is treated with the same love and attention I gave my own. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and your pet a calm, loving experience while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities, whether I’m caring for them in your home or welcoming them into mine. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog and cats who are accustomed to other animals, creating a calm and welcoming environment. I’m mindful of introductions and each pet’s personality to ensure everyone feels safe and at ease. Dogs are always leashed for daily walks, and I have a large yard that allows for extra exercise and playtime in a secure space. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to closely supervise pets, maintain their routines, and give them consistent attention and companionship. When caring for pets in your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any special preferences you share. I also offer meet-and-greets before bookings so you and your pet can feel comfortable and confident. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me, and I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in loving, attentive hands.
“Athena is so kind and so compassionate, my dogs loved their time wither her & her family. They loved their new friend Rufus❤️ communication was outstanding, lots of pictures. It was such a comfort knowing how well cared for and loved my boys were while I was away. They were part of her family ❤️❤️❤️”
“Savannah was great! She welcomed Charlie with open arms and an open heart! Couldn't have asked for a better caretaker! Five stars just doesn't do her justice...should be ten stars! Thank you Savannah and family! Kathryn and Milt”
“Gail was fantastic & brave! We just adopted Bernie from the shelter a few days before a planned vacation...bad timing on our part! Gail was wonderful with him and sent us updates, as I was really nervous about leaving him so soon. She was reassuring and very understanding. I definitely would use Gail for boarding...if she will have him again!”
About: I come from an animal-loving family and have either owned or looked after any personality a dog could possibly have! Big ones, small ones, needy ones, naughty ones, nervous ones, old ones, lazy ones, you name it! I pride myself on being “that person” that dogs naturally gravitate towards (it runs in the family). My family recently lost the last of our 3 dogs (our 15 year old Puggle), so I am equipped for even the old guys & gals too! Your dog will not just be cared for, they will be spoiled and loved on as my own. I know how hard it is to trust a stranger with your baby, and Ive got you! I'll do anything your dog (or YOU) requires to be more comfortable. Even if you want to FaceTime your dog while you’re away...I won’t judge :). I know boarding places can be scary and stressful for a lot of dogs, and my goal is to provide a reliable, safe, peaceful, fun, and loving environment while you are away. PLEASE READ :) Due to the fact that I have 2 small children, I cannot under any circumstances accept: -Dogs that have never been around children -Dogs that have any specific aggression (towards food, toys, other dogs, etc.) -Pit Bulls/Rottweilers. I realize this is controversial and maybe even unfair, and If I didn’t have small children this would not be an issue, but my kids come first and I have to be selective to protect them. Being that we are caring for dogs we have never met, I cannot take the risk for breeds that could possibly do extensively harmful damage to them in a worst case scenario situation. Again, I love all dogs/breeds and realize these breeds are normally the sweetest dogs, I am just mitigating any and all risk as a protective Mama. I am currently a stay-at-home Mom! I am home every day with the occasional runs to drop my son off at preschool, or attend my own appointments that come up/occasional errands. Although I am home most of the day, I cannot accept dogs that have separation anxiety, as I do have weekly errands/school drop offs/grocery pickups etc. that take me away from the home for a small amount of time. I live in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. I have a partially fenced in yard, but I would not be taking any dogs out without a leash. My back yard is hidden away from the main street and is great for taking dogs out. Rest assured they will have lots of potty breaks and sniffing outside breaks. We are pretty chill here! Once the weather warms up, walks are definitely in the daily schedule if wanted/needed... or just some sunbathing outside for the dogs who love a nap in the sunshine.
“Rikki and her family are super pleasant. She took care of our pup and I trusted her completely. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and experienced caregiver. Thank you so much, Rikki! We enjoyed our vacation and had zero worries. You rock!!”
“Savanna kept my puppy for a week while I was on vacation. She did a wonderful job keeping me posted with pictures. She was also flexible and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her.”
“She was awesome. Very friendly and her dog was very playful and friendly. Her family is awesome with animals and my dog loved them. She sent photos while we were gone of my dog playing with the others. Would highly recommend her”
About: I’ve had pets all my life! I’ve had my own pet sitting business I’m very passionate about pet care. Your pet will be safe here! Between me and my husband we’re almost always home. We do have classes for a few hours during the week. We have pets of our own so we already have a very well set schedule when it comes to them. We can gladly work with any schedule you may already have. I will care for your fur babies like they are my own. I love my pets like my kids they’ll be well cared for here!
“Nathan & Jenna are amazing hosts. Kora was not over excited during her stay but is missing her host & friends when back home. Nathan was sharing frequent videos for Kora daily and also, picked/dropped her off.”
“Loved booking with Brittni, very easy process. She was available any time I had a question or just wanted to check in on Max. He loved it there snd I’m happy I found someone that he is comfortable with so that I don’t have to be anxious while away.”
“Tricia was excellent with our 2 year old Weimaraner Tucker. He has never never been boarded or stayed away from home and tends to be timid or anxious. She sent pictures to let me know he was doing well throughout his entire stay. I will definitely utilize Tricia again, she made me feel very comfortable that our guy was in great hands while we were away.”
About: I have over 25 years of experience caring for and loving dogs. I have provided basic training techniques, agility training, walking, boarding, drop in visits and overall companionship. I make sure that I feed the dog according to their schedule, and ensuring its safety and well-being including administering medications. I am able to accommodate dogs of all types and sizes and I communicate with owners by providing updates on the dog's progress. Depending on the arrangement, this can involve overnight stays and house-sitting. I have also cared for senior dogs and dogs with special needs! I am currently working from home and my availability is very flexible. I can assure that your furbaby (s) is in the best hands and I prioritize their needs above my own I have a fenced in yard with shelter and water. I live on a dead end road so very quiet and safe. Your furbabies will have fun running and playing outdoors and indoors! If you would rather me come to your home, I’m familiar with taking care of other dogs in the safety of their current environment including over night stays!
“Kelsey was very accommodating with travel issues that resulted in booking an extra night. She shared welcomed daily updates with photos of Oliver’s stay. I will gladly book with Kelsey again.”
About: I am very reliable and will treat your pet as a part of my family. I have potty trained successfully all of the dogs I’ve had as well. I can send daily updates/photos as needed also. Your peace of mind is my priority. I work from home, which means your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day and frequent opportunities for potty breaks, outdoor time, and play. I have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room to explore and play, and I can also provide up to two walks a day depending on your dogs normal routine and needs. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when leaving your dog in someone else's care. I'll treat your dog like part of our family and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care while they're with me. I'm reliable, attentive, and happy to send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is safe and having a great time!
