About: (TWO PEOPLE USING ACCOUNT ME AND MY BF) We both been taking care of our own animals and family members since the age of 9, I love animals with a passion and I will spoil them with affection care and maybe a few treats <3 My pet care has seamlessly become an integral part of my daily routine since childhood. As a pet enthusiast, I dedicate ample time and attention to nurture and care for our furry companions. Each morning, I wake up eager to tend to their needs, starting with feeding and providing fresh water. Throughout the day, I incorporate playtime and interactive sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. During midday lulls, I set aside moments to engage in bonding activities, ensuring they feel loved and cherished. Evenings are dedicated to additional play, grooming, and relaxation, allowing our pets to unwind. By creating a structured routine, I maintain consistency in their care, which in turn fosters a strong and trusting relationship with our beloved pets. Without the confines of a job, I cherish the privilege to spend quality time with our furry friends, providing them with all the care and attention they deserve.

About: Growing up with pets, I learned at a very young age, that our family dog did not like being ridden like a horse! While I've been around dogs all my life, most of my experience has been acquired during my adult years. I (Laura) am a freelancing Designer, and my husband (Lawrence) is a retired Registered Nurse. Together we have many years of experience raising our own family dogs: First we had a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, then two Yorkshire Terrier's, and currently a Pomeranian mix... ...We also raised a couple of boys, and their motley-menagerie of creatures. I think my heart doubled in size, when I realized I could combine two of my favorite passion's; hanging out with furry little Lapdogs, and creating miniature fashion's for Sport! I also really enjoy doing 'Street' photography of doggies and their humans. Dogs bring us so much joy, we just love making a fuss over them! We live near Downtown Cottage Grove, in one of it's walkable historic neighborhoods. Ours is a child-free home, offering 'Boarding' and 'Daycare' services--hosting only small lap-size dogs up to 18 lbs. Additionally, we also do 'Drop-in' visits in 'your' home for small and medium size dogs. Our fully-fenced backyard features a variety of tree's and flower gardens, with lots of room to romp and play. It's complete with a covered patio that provides protection from rain or sun year around. Most importantly, we want you to feel worry-free, while we keep your doggie safe and happy! We are available full-time to provide pet care. Occasionally, I freelance from home--where I make and sell custom-fit dog wear, including alterations on existing doggie wearables. My husband is retired, so we have very flexible schedules to accommodate and host our Lapdog friends. We can host up to three Lapdogs per day/night. We also can do 'drop-in' visits to your home, for both small and medium size dogs. Well, around here, it's safety first! We host only Lap-size dogs up to 18 lbs. (Also, we only take small breed puppies.) Ours is a child-free home, with a fully-fenced backyard. We can host up to three dogs per day/night. I always sleep in the same room with our visiting doggies--either on our comfy sofas, or our king sized bed. My husband is a retired Registered Nurse. Please be mindful that visiting dogs need to be current with vaccines, flea & tick prevention, and an identity tag. We also have zoned heating and air conditioning throughout our house. There's several doggie-beds, toys, and crate (if requested) or feel free to provide your own. Also, we want to know about anything you think would be helpful in making your Doggie's visit a successful stay. We offer lots of love, cuddles, and belly rubs!
About: Ive taken care of all my own dogs since I was 15, we can bathe, give pills, walks, runs, park trips, rides in the car, hikes. I have a Scottish terrier who has a lot of skin and allergy issues so I know how to deal with all that. I work from home right now as does my fiancé, so someone is always here to watch your pups, and play with them, walk them etc. We have a fenced yard here, a large crate if needed, we have one 10 yr old fixed male Scottish terrier who is good with most all dogs just not aggressive ones, he sleeps mostly all day but he will play when the mood arises.
“Shannon did an amazing job! She is so kind, easy to work with, and truly cared for Marshmallow! She sent me photos of them on hikes & snuggling, which gave me a lot of peace while out of the state. I absolutely recommend working with Shannon!”

About: I can care for a wide variety of animals. Care will include lots of physical and mental stimulation, as well as anything else you’d like! Let me know if your animal(s) needs any additional care such as medication administration or needs to be kept separate from other animals, and I will be more than happy to accommodate your animal’s needs. There will also be an opportunity to become a private client to avoid the insane Rover fees, so you can save money and I get the full amount that you pay! (Currently, Rover takes 20% of my pay AND charges you even extra!) I do have full time school 3 days a week, so will be gone a good part of the day during those days. Dogs are required to be crated while I’m away. I will do my best to be flexible and use effective communication with all my clients. I have 2 dogs, a cattle dog and a golden retriever. I also have 2 cats at home as well. Let me know in advance if your animal(s) are reactive or aggressive to people or dogs. All dogs will have plenty of physical and mental exercise, and anything else that they need during the day. Bring toys, food, leashes, crates, and whatever else is needed at drop off.

About: I've taken care of cats since I was a little girl, and I also helped raise kittens back in Texas. I currently have a Calico and Tabby! I have experience in first aid and medication handling, and I can't wait to possibly be your future sitter!
About: I absolutely love dogs ! They truly are man’s best friend till the end. I have two dogs of my own , whom I love very much ! I have experience in dog sitting as well as dog walking and I am passionate about providing good care and excited to meet new pups! I fit pet care into my day/week routine because I have two dogs of my own. One is a pit bull and another is a boarder collie so to say they need care is an understatement. They have the upmost energy. I will play with them and wear them out so they get a good nights sleep. With that being said we walk, hike, run, go to the beach, play fetch , etc. as much as we can. I treat my puppies very kindly , if not they’re quite spoiled. 😉 I care very deeply about animals and I aim to help when I can !

As dog mom of 3 loving and rambunctious breeds I can personally say your pup will feel right at home ❤️ I have five dogs of my own therefore I make sure that their needs are taken care of before mine are. With as much play time as I can give. First thing first I let the dogs out to play and go use the potty. Then I give them food if it’s time to eat. And of course we go out to play after.
