“Kim is a wonderful dog sitter. She took great care of both my fur babies . Both of them are quite anxious little dogs. I so do appreciate her taking the extra time out. One of my little pups had some GI issues. Kim took a special care and accommodated the situation and provided me with updates . She also provides lots of pictures daily. My pups enjoyed their stay and they had Playmates while they were there.”

“I cannot say enough great things about Jane! She is wonderful!! She sent me pictures of my doggie Charlie every day while we were on vacation (at my request). She updated me on how she was doing and how she was adjusting. We were away from her for a week. This was very difficult as my Charlie has only ever stayed with a family member. Jane has a nice big fenced-in yard for Charlie to run and play in. I feel like she treated my doggie like her own by loving on her, playing with her, and even let Charlie sleep in her bed as we do at home. I’m so thankful for Jane!! We will definitely be using her again!! I wish I could give her 10 stars!!”

“Christina is THE BEST!! Charlie loves her so much and I don’t have to worry when I’m out of town and Charlie is with her. She sends me pics and updates often. It really makes my heart happy that Charlie can stay with someone who’s so thoughtful and caring when we have to be away from her. ❤️”

“Samantha gets an A++++++ from us & my dogs! My dogs loved her & she was soooo easy to work with, I will go back to her & would recommend any of you with dogs to leave them with her. She sends pictures everyday showing how she & the dogs are getting along. She even bathes them while they are there. When I picked my Rottweiler puppy up, she was so excited to see me, & wanted me to meet Samantha. Dogs are so smart.”

About: Hi! I'm Gwen, a lifelong dog lover and proud dachshund mom. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every dog in my care like one of my own. I have experience with small breeds, senior dogs, puppies, and dogs that need extra patience and attention. What sets me apart is the amount of love, communication, and one-on-one care I provide. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and your time away stress-free. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. As a dachshund owner, my days revolve around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide frequent check-ins, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special care needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a clean, safe, and loving environment with plenty of supervision, attention, and affection. I take time to learn each pet's personality, habits, and comfort level to help reduce stress and keep them feeling secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I have always had a dog in my family, currently i have six dogs ranging for a yorkie to an english mastiff! I’m experienced in giving various sized dogs medication in pill form. Monday through Friday I am available from 11am to 1pm, and any time after 3:30 pm. Saturday & Sunday I am available from 6am to 10:30pm with exceptions if needed! In a clients home I let the animals do what they would do on a regular day if owners were home, while still closesly monitoring to be sure they stay safe and behaved! I always like to try and play with the dogs before I leave so they’re not hyper and alone.
About: I am very reliable and I have taken care of my family and friend’s dogs many times before. I am use to senior dogs and how to take care of them. I love playing with dogs and running outside with them! I wanna make sure that the dog is being loved on and taken care of! I only work on weekends at a restaurant so my weekdays are completely free so i’d love to take care of animals during my free time. I would care for my clients pets by making sure they are well feed and hydrated and make sure to walk them as much as needed and ask the owners questions about their dog to make sure the dog is as comfortable as possible.
About: Wen I woes a kid my parents bread sherpays. In my teens, I help on my dad's farm and mom with animal rescue's with the local humane society. Right know I'm a stay home mom my family lives close and doesn't mind watching my 2 year old for me wen needed. A schedule throughout the week would be great. I personally love other people's dogs. I'll greet someone's dog before the person, i don't have one of my own because they are a lot of work but I do have a cat and a tuttle that get a lot if care and love.
About: I grew up with cat and dogs; types of dogs labs, Saint bernards, and german shepherds! I also have two golden doodles who are theee most sweetest loving pups! They love to play, run, or even just stroll through the park. They love watching squirrels and birds 😂 and also love chasing other dogs around at the dog park! I am already walking / running in the morning, and evenings and I would love to walk your dog. I also have watched many family members animals. I would take care of them for a couple days to even a few weeks. I figured a dog needs their daily exercise as well, and if their owner is too busy I'd gladly take that off their plate! They don't need to worry about it! I always keep the owners updated and always inform them if anything has changes. I do walk alot and I will definitely keep anyone updated from arrival to park and to home.
