“Shaquita kept our poodle Lily for 9 days and Lily required medication and more care due to her age and kidney failure. This is our second time with Shaquita and she took wonderful care of Lily and we will definitely use her again!”

About: I offer personalized pet sitting services tailored to your pet's unique needs, whether they're a playful puppy or a senior in need of extra care. With experience in puppy training, basic obedience, and managing special needs for older pets, I provide a safe, fun, and loving environment while you're away. I also prioritize regular updates and communication, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. As a work-from-home professional, my schedule offers flexibility, allowing me to balance both my professional responsibilities and providing attentive care for your pets. I structure my day to include regular breaks for walks, playtime, and feeding, ensuring your pets are not only well taken care of but also receive the companionship and attention they deserve. Whether it's a midday stroll or some quiet time together, I’m able to maintain a routine that keeps your pets happy and engaged while I work. When caring for pets in my home, I create a comfortable and safe environment tailored to each pet's needs. We have a large fully fenced yard, as well! I ensure they have their own cozy space, whether that’s a crate, bed, or designated area. Regular outdoor walks, playtime, and attention to their diet and routines are a priority. I also provide plenty of mental stimulation with toys and activities, and offer lots of affection and companionship. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their usual routine to keep them feeling secure. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, and any special care instructions you may have—whether it's administering medication, helping with training, or providing extra attention for senior pets. I always strive to create a calm, familiar environment so pets feel at ease while their owners are away.
“Brooke is awesome. She was very accommodating with our schedule and keep us updated on our fluffies. She arranged a meet and greet to make sure everyone gets along and introduced herself to the dogs.”
About: While, I don't have experience taking care of other people's pets, I've had my own since I was a little girl. My first dog was Cosmo, a Yorkshire Terrier. I miss him so much! Now my family and I have 2 dogs named Honey and Baby Girl (my kids couldn't agree on a name so her nickname just stuck!). Honey is 110lb Border Collie/Great Pyrenees/Lab mix, and BG is a 70lb "Australian Boxherd", or Australian Shepherd/Boxer mix. We also have 2 cats named Athena and Nike. Plus, 3 hens and 1 rooster: Sandy, Patrick, Bob and Mr. Crabs.. Spongebob, of course! Lol Our animals are our babies, I don't know what we'd do without them! I am not currently working, but I do have children and my father that I care for, so I have a busy schedule at times. I'm pretty flexible though for the most part, other than Wednesdays. I'm not going to provide home services at this time. I live on a lot of land but we don't have a fence and our neighbor isn't the friendliest towards dogs. We just got him used to ours, but I don't allow mine out of the yard, anyway. They've been trained to stay.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including playful puppies, large dog breeds, and cats with different personalities. I’m skilled in feeding, walking, bathing, and socializing animals while keeping their comfort and safety a priority. I’ve also worked with rescue pets, giving them patient, gentle care to help them adjust and feel secure. Whether it’s reading canine body language or understanding a cat’s unique temperament, I take pride in providing compassionate, dependable care for every animal I work with. I have a flexible and open schedule, which allows me to work various shifts, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m dependable and always willing to adjust my hours to meet the needs of my clients. I provide a clean, safe, and comfortable home environment for both cats and dogs. My home is well-suited for supervised indoor play, relaxation, and care routines such as feeding, grooming, and socialization. While my yard does not have a fence, I ensure pets are always supervised and kept secure with leashes, harnesses, or indoor playtime. I take every precaution to make sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.
About: I have watched & took care of families animals since I was a teenager! I have lots of pet experience! I would prefer your fur baby crate trained, spayed & neutered I’m currently a stay at home wife with my toddler!

About: I'm type of person that will go to a party and first make friends with dog. My home is perfectly spaced for horsing around yet has many cozy places to take a nap and cuddle. I have a nice fenced yard with shaded spot on the rug and bench for lazy days. There is plastic kiddie pool to cool off in, when sunbathing becomes all too much. Street I live on is pretty private and fun to walk with big yards, plenty of bushes and places to sniff. There is a dog park in the mile proximity. My doggies are 2 goofballs that love to hang out with new friends. They might even insist on sharing a toy or two to win the guest over. All in all, we are a fun bunch to hang with. Pet boarding is a full-time venture for me so I will provide the utmost care and attention to your pet and will do my very best to be available to answer any questions or handle any concerns you may have during your pet's stay. Although I devote much of my time to boarding, please be respectful of the times I have listed below for drop-offs and pick-ups. Times for earliest drop-off and latest pick-up Monday to Thursday: 6am-830pm Friday: 6am-9pm Saturday and Sunday: 9am-830pm Be respectful of the times given. We wake up early on a daily basis and go to bed early as well due to early work and school schedules. Please let us know when you will be arriving. Send us a text upon arrival and we will meet you outside to bring your pet inside. This method will prevent barking from the doggos already here and reduce stress and separation anxiety for your pet. Please bring your pet's food in Ziploc bags with his or her name clearly written on them. If there are medications and/or supplements to be given, please include detailed and clearly written or typed instructions. What you DO NOT need to bring: food bowls water bowls pet beds/blankets toys clothes We provide toys (including indoor, outdoor, plush, toys for chewers, so let us know if your dog has a preference), beds, wipes, brushes, and crates if your pet needs one at night. Apart from our home that is open to your pet, we have an additional house on our property that can accommodate guests. We also have part-time staff who can help on an as-needed basis. Your pet will be free to run around our 1/4 acre backyard that is fully enclosed by a 6 foot fence. We have a large gazebo that provides shade during the hotter days. The backyard is divided into a large grassy area and smaller gravel and concrete sections. Fresh water is provided consistently. Tours of our home will not be granted. We will happily provide you with our Instagram account so you can view the premises and also check out our regular guests having a great time. We do not require a meet-and-greet for the stay, but if you would like to do one, our front porch provides the perfect spot for us to meet. We dedicate the weekends between 9am and 11am to any meet-and-greets you wish to have. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets ! My partner, Hunter, and I both have remote positions so we are home most of the time. We absolutely love taking the pups on mid-day walks. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. After dinner, everyone gets a dental bone with enzymatic puppy toothpaste to freshen breath and keep cavities at bay!

“Haley was OUTSTANDING! Not only is she a joy, but our Gracie girl loved her. Haley sent tons of photos every visit, loved on our girl, even cleaned up a hairball. She was highly communicative, sweet, and an amazing pet sitter. I will absolutely be using her again for our next trip!”
“Breanna was great dropping in to care for our cat. She sent many photos, ensured all her needs were met, gave her company, and was communicative the entire time. We appreciated her service and would request it again.”
“Presleigh was wonderful! We had last minute change of Thanksgiving plans and she didng hesitate to pick us up and come feed our sweet kitty. She even went the extra mile and fed the strays we take care of that live outside and filled our water bowls that were low when she absolutely did not have to! If you want someone who can be asked to do one thing and she helps out with extra stuff, this is your girl!”

“Angie did an awesome job taking care of our cats, fish, reptiles, and chickens. She communicated with us while we were gone, which was comforting. Will definitely use her again.”
“Quianna is super nice and really does love pets. My pups liked her on their first meeting. She took pictures and movies for me which made my day. I will absolutely be going to her first next time I need a sitter!”
“I am having trouble finding enough positive words to praise Hannah with the care of our cat! It was just one cat-but he’s spoiled and he damages things if he’s left alone for more than a night. We were gone longer than we’ve ever taken a vacation-11 days-and were very nervous. Hannah eased our minds, braved the frigid temps driving to our house, spent SUCH quality time with him (not just in to feed him and gone) went WAY above and beyond giving us more peace leaving our house too. We will travel now with so much more peace. I can’t recommend her highly enough!!”
About: I have taken care of several cats during my life, starting from my mother's womb. Currently, I have two cats of my own, a Devon Rex and an American Shorthair, who have very different grooming and care needs. I understand that cats require consent and patience when interacting with them, and I am more than willing to ensure both are present. I have a good amount of experience in the administration of medication (including oral and ophthalmic solutions). I also understand the importance of a clean litter box and playing with the cat on their level and in a way that makes them happy.
About: I have taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes for 20+ years. I was also a groomer for 5 years and vet assistant. I'm quite comfortable with senior and puppy care,, giving medication and cleaning up any messes. I also have training experience with all variety, from basic commands to proper leash walking. Currently self employed, so I have a very open schedule and am able to accommodate quite a wide range of needs, from early morning to late night and weekends. Making your pet feel safe and comfortable while you're away is my number 1 priority. Giving them lots of stimulating play time, with lots of head and belly scratches
“Bre did a great job taking care of our three cats! very friendly, good communication and thorough, it’s nice to know we have someone who cares taking care of our babies while we’re out of town!”
About: I am an owner of two Jack Russell Terriers who make my life incredibly entertaining. Both of them are rescue pets. The relationship I've built with them has introduced me to a whole new part of myself. I love to dote on others' fur babies as well. I'm a professional musician who does this as a way of supplementing my income, so my schedule is *usually* accommodating to almost any pet owner's needs. I prefer to do drop ins and some house sitting. I don't typically want to bring my own pups along with me until I know your dog's temperament. Even then, it is rare. They are beginning to show that they’re senior pups. If you think I'll fit your needs, don't hesitate to call. I'f I'm available, your pups will be well cared for and smothered with affection.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and even the occasional chicken. As a longtime pet owner myself, I understand how much our animals mean to us. I treat every pet I care for like part of the family, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s a daily walk or a weekend stay, you can count on me to keep your furry (or feathered!) friend safe, happy, and loved. I’m available for midday walks, check-ins, and evening visits. I also offer overnight house sitting if you're looking for someone to keep your pets company overnight. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their usual routine, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I respect each pet’s personality and any specific instructions you provide. If I’m doing overnight care, I maintain a calm and cozy environment, making sure your pet gets attention, companionship, and consistency while you’re away.
About: hi! my name is jaylyn! I have always had dogs and one cat growing up so i am a huge animal lover. i got my first pet, a dog, when i was in middle school and have had pets every since.

I currently work a full-time job but i do get days off which gives me time to take care of your babies. i am almost always free on weekends! i can crate your pet if that is needed, no yard but plenty of dogs parks to let them run around and roam which is fenced.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs most of my life! I currently own two giant babies (German Shepard) and can handle everything in between! Some days or weeks, your best friend just needs some extra love and attention. I have experience volunteering at animal shelters and caring for animals of various sizes and personalities! Let me care for your best friends, like I would care for my own! During the Summer time, I have open availability. Any day, any time! Tell me what you need, and I will accommodate! Weekends or weekday I can do it all! I am able to work with difficult or aggressive pets, as I happen to own two of them. I can go on walks, play in a yard or just cuddle on the couch. Even though I am a dog owner, I have some experience caring for cats as well!
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and small animals since I was 6 years old. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, water, and take care of their pets on many occasions! I have a very flexible schedule rand can work with any pets. I do have 5 dogs me and my boyfriend own. They have a schedule of feedings and potty breaks but basically they just play all the time. They are all VERY playful and super friendly. I mostly would prefer to care for animals in my own home as I can do my daily tasks as well as keep your companions happy. I am more than happy to care for them in yours I just cannot stay nights. I have a big back yard so they can get lots of exercise and play time! If needed I can also separate my own animals from yours with no problem at all.
About: Cats have been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember, and I understand that every cat has their own unique personality—and boundaries. I currently share my home with four: one rescue, one chronic shelter return who came from an abusive situation, and two young, curious cats who keep life interesting. That mix of temperaments has taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of reading feline body language. I’m comfortable caring for shy or fearful cats, as well as high-energy or social ones. Whether your cat prefers quiet companionship or active playtime, I’ll adjust my care to match their comfort level and routine. I’m experienced with administering basic medications, maintaining feeding schedules, managing multi-cat households, and creating low-stress environments for nervous or newly adopted cats. My goal is always to make sure your cats feel safe, respected, and cared for while you’re away.

“Absolutely perfect! When meeting with Hannah she was very polite and welcoming. She did a really good job at making sure her babies kept personal space with Snoopy and always watched them in the backyard. Communication was great and instructions on what she needed were very clear. She was so understanding when it came to my pickup time possibly changing due to my job. Hannah also made sure she asked all the important questions and was amazing with communication! I was nervous leaving my baby with someone new, but Hannah did a great job making me feel comfortable leaving Snoopy in her care. We will absolutely be using services anytime we need help! (Bonus points for sharing pictures even while I was at work)”

Making your pet feel safe and comfortable while you're away is my number 1 priority. Giving them lots of stimulating play time, with lots of head and belly scratches

“Highly recommend. Emerson warmed right up to her and she did a great job. I also booked her last minute and she was an angel and accepted it. Highly recommend her and will be using her again for sure!”
About: I love all animals like they are my own. Your animals will be in the best care possible while you are enjoying your away time. I work from home so watching your animals would be my pleasure. I love sitting around enjoying time with my animals while I work so why not include others. I have friendly dogs of my own that love company and I live out in the country on 5 acres. My dogs love showing off their space.
About: I have been a dog owner for over 10 years. I grew up with a large dog and have a huge desire to train and give love and attention to all dogs. I have a flexible schedule so I can drop in on your dog 2-3x a day and work with them on training, and take them on walks to wear them out mentally and physically. No care provided in my home at this time. I can come to your house and provide walking, attention, and training there during times that are best.
About: I grew up on a 100-acre farm and have spent my entire life caring for animals of all kinds. My experience includes both everyday and medical care for livestock and household pets, giving me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and individual needs. I have implemented treat based training as well as clicker training with my own pet. Over the years, my family bred and raised both small and large dog breeds, ranging from Beagles to Great Pyrenees. This hands-on experience has given me confidence working with animals of all temperaments, sizes, and energy levels — from high-energy working dogs to elderly and disabled pets requiring extra patience and specialized care. Animal care has always been a true passion of mine. I believe animals are a gift to everyone they meet, and I am committed to providing compassionate, reliable, and attentive care to every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession, allowing me to provide reliable, flexible, and attentive care for every animal I work with. I also attend school virtually while completing my degree in therapy, which gives me the ability to maintain a consistent schedule dedicated to pet care. My long-term goal is to open a therapy practice incorporating equine-assisted therapy to help support and heal others through the connection between humans and animals. I prioritize providing care in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and able to maintain their normal routines and environment. I believe staying in a familiar space helps reduce stress and anxiety while allowing pets to feel safe and secure. I take the time to follow each owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication administration, and any special needs. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while treating both your pets and your home with the highest level of respect and professionalism.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and even the occasional chicken. As a longtime pet owner myself, I understand how much our animals mean to us. I treat every pet I care for like part of the family, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s a daily walk or a weekend stay, you can count on me to keep your furry (or feathered!) friend safe, happy, and loved. I’m available for midday walks, check-ins, and evening visits. I also offer overnight house sitting if you're looking for someone to keep your pets company overnight. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their usual routine, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I respect each pet’s personality and any specific instructions you provide. If I’m doing overnight care, I maintain a calm and cozy environment, making sure your pet gets attention, companionship, and consistency while you’re away.
About: I’m an experienced and reliable pet caregiver with a lifelong background caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, so I’m very comfortable handling multiple pets, different temperaments, and unique care needs. I also have several years of veterinary experience, which means I’m confident administering medications, monitoring health, and providing safe, attentive care. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime or calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Currently I am a college student and I work at barktown part time when school is in and full time when school is out. So I do maintain a busy schedule, but always have time to stop in and love on your sweet fur babies! I have been around pets with a wide range of temperament. This means I know how to enter and exit your home safely if you have a fur baby who likes to run, I wake up daily at 6am to give my babies their breakfast and they get their dinner at 8pm. This also sets me up to be able to adapt to your feeding schedule for your babies. I also adore getting to know the anxious babies. Taking my time and letting them warm up to me is something I pride myself on. Theres something so rewarding about gaining their trust!

I have personally trained all of my dogs growing up, and i love animals almost more than people ;) i love animals very much and love a good cuddler! i really want to spread my love and joy of animals while taking care of others precious babies! i am very flexible and any service i am willing to tweak in whatever way works for both of us. life is crazy and times are hard..so i am very open to anything that might be needed! I currently work a full-time job but i do get days off which gives me time to take care of your babies. i am almost always free on weekends! i can crate your pet if that is needed, no yard but plenty of dogs parks to let them run around and roam which is fenced.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs most of my life! I currently own two giant babies (German Shepard) and can handle everything in between! Some days or weeks, your best friend just needs some extra love and attention. I have experience volunteering at animal shelters and caring for animals of various sizes and personalities! Let me care for your best friends, like I would care for my own! During the Summer time, I have open availability. Any day, any time! Tell me what you need, and I will accommodate! Weekends or weekday I can do it all! I am able to work with difficult or aggressive pets, as I happen to own two of them. I can go on walks, play in a yard or just cuddle on the couch.

About: I have 15+ years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all breeds and personalities. As a former AKC conformation and lure coursing competitor, I’m confident handling everything from playful puppies to shy or reactive pets. I share my home with four cats, including rescues, so I understand animals with unique needs. I offer calm, patient, and reliable care—no breed or size restrictions, just a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Most pets, if asked, would prefer to stay home rather than go to a boarding kennel while you are gone. They are in their own home, eating their familiar food from their regular bowl, playing in their own yard, sleeping on their favorite bed or couch. My goal as a pet sitter is to keep your pet healthy, happy, and safe so you can enjoy your time away from home. I visit your home at least twice a day, feeding, checking water bowls, petting and loving, supervising exercise and play time, and handing out treats. I am especially good with senior dogs and have experience getting even difficult dogs to take medications. I also do things like collect mail or newspapers and turn lights on and off so that it looks like someone is around. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time and attend classes two nights a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for daytime visits, walks, and overnight care. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, making sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and affection. Caring for animals is one of the best parts of my week—it’s grounding, rewarding, and something I truly enjoy. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed by maintaining their normal routines. In your home, I follow your feeding, walking, and playtime schedules closely and keep things calm for shy or anxious pets. In my home, animals have a quiet, supervised space, enrichment toys, and plenty of affection. Whether it’s medication, training, or extra snuggles, I tailor care to each pet’s personality and needs.
About: I love animals, and have cared for all types of pets all my life. I will love your pets and give them the greatest of care, as if they are my own. I work from home and have a very open schedule. I also have a car and a strong work ethic so when I make a commitment to be somewhere, I am there. I prefer to come to the clients home because I know the animal will be happier in its home environment. I like to give lots of pets, love and attention. I clean up any accidents, make sure water and food bowls are in good shape and provide whatever service the Pet Parent has requested. I try to leave with the pet looking forward to its next visit from me.
About: I've had dogs and cats and taken care of dogs and cat all my life. I've had experience with puppies, Rottweilers, Great Danes, German Shepherds, Blue Heelers, Herding breeds, and small and medium sized mixed, rescue dogs. I also have a baby of my own, his name is TikoMan, and he is an energetic, loving border collie. Tiko is very smart and knows all kinds of tricks that I taught him, he is a picky eater, gets lots of cuddles, loves to run and play, and goes on all the trips we take. He loves the water! I have experience teaching puppies tricks, dealing with multiple dogs and cats at a time, understanding their overall needs (based on breed differences as well), and handling senior dogs and cats that may need additional care needs, medications, and assistance. I'm currently looking for full-time pet care for your needs - available at any time! I have a 3 bedroom home with an acre worth of yard if you need me to sit in my home. I can walk your pets, sit in your home for you to make your pet(s) most comfortable, and adhere to any feeding schedules, play, cleaning, and other needs to keep them happy! I have a big home and yard (it is unfenced but your dog will be okay if able to be off leash, or I can make sure he/she is leashed for peace of mind. I will adhere to any feeding, walking, and other needs per requested schedules, and am available to come to your home if preferred as I understand many would like to watch cameras and make sure all is well with your fur baby!

About: I offer personalized pet sitting services tailored to your pet's unique needs, whether they're a playful puppy or a senior in need of extra care. With experience in puppy training, basic obedience, and managing special needs for older pets, I provide a safe, fun, and loving environment while you're away. I also prioritize regular updates and communication, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

When caring for pets in my home, I create a comfortable and safe environment tailored to each pet's needs. We have a large fully fenced yard, as well! I ensure they have their own cozy space, whether that’s a crate, bed, or designated area. Regular outdoor walks, playtime, and attention to their diet and routines are a priority. I also provide plenty of mental stimulation with toys and activities, and offer lots of affection and companionship. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their usual routine to keep them feeling secure. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, and any special care instructions you may have—whether it's administering medication, helping with training, or providing extra attention for senior pets. I always strive to create a calm, familiar environment so pets feel at ease while their owners are away.
“Brooke is awesome. She was very accommodating with our schedule and keep us updated on our fluffies. She arranged a meet and greet to make sure everyone gets along and introduced herself to the dogs.”
About: While, I don't have experience taking care of other people's pets, I've had my own since I was a little girl. My first dog was Cosmo, a Yorkshire Terrier. I miss him so much! Now my family and I have 2 dogs named Honey and Baby Girl (my kids couldn't agree on a name so her nickname just stuck!). Honey is 110lb Border Collie/Great Pyrenees/Lab mix, and BG is a 70lb "Australian Boxherd", or Australian Shepherd/Boxer mix. We also have 2 cats named Athena and Nike. Plus, 3 hens and 1 rooster: Sandy, Patrick, Bob and Mr. Crabs.. Spongebob, of course! Lol Our animals are our babies, I don't know what we'd do without them! I am not currently working, but I do have children and my father that I care for, so I have a busy schedule at times. I'm pretty flexible though for the most part, other than Wednesdays. I'm not going to provide home services at this time. I live on a lot of land but we don't have a fence and our neighbor isn't the friendliest towards dogs. We just got him used to ours, but I don't allow mine out of the yard, anyway. They've been trained to stay.

“Amanda and her family did an awesome job with Max during his 8 night stay with them. She was very responsive and sent updates and pictures of Max. I really really appreciate the level of care he received and will definitely use them in the future!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including playful puppies, large dog breeds, and cats with different personalities. I’m skilled in feeding, walking, bathing, and socializing animals while keeping their comfort and safety a priority. I’ve also worked with rescue pets, giving them patient, gentle care to help them adjust and feel secure. Whether it’s reading canine body language or understanding a cat’s unique temperament, I take pride in providing compassionate, dependable care for every animal I work with. I have a flexible and open schedule, which allows me to work various shifts, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m dependable and always willing to adjust my hours to meet the needs of my clients. I provide a clean, safe, and comfortable home environment for both cats and dogs. My home is well-suited for supervised indoor play, relaxation, and care routines such as feeding, grooming, and socialization. While my yard does not have a fence, I ensure pets are always supervised and kept secure with leashes, harnesses, or indoor playtime. I take every precaution to make sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.
About: I'm type of person that will go to a party and first make friends with dog. My home is perfectly spaced for horsing around yet has many cozy places to take a nap and cuddle. I have a nice fenced yard with shaded spot on the rug and bench for lazy days. There is plastic kiddie pool to cool off in, when sunbathing becomes all too much. Street I live on is pretty private and fun to walk with big yards, plenty of bushes and places to sniff. There is a dog park in the mile proximity. My doggies are 2 goofballs that love to hang out with new friends. They might even insist on sharing a toy or two to win the guest over. All in all, we are a fun bunch to hang with. Pet boarding is a full-time venture for me so I will provide the utmost care and attention to your pet and will do my very best to be available to answer any questions or handle any concerns you may have during your pet's stay. Although I devote much of my time to boarding, please be respectful of the times I have listed below for drop-offs and pick-ups. Times for earliest drop-off and latest pick-up Monday to Thursday: 6am-830pm Friday: 6am-9pm Saturday and Sunday: 9am-830pm Be respectful of the times given. We wake up early on a daily basis and go to bed early as well due to early work and school schedules. Please let us know when you will be arriving. Send us a text upon arrival and we will meet you outside to bring your pet inside. This method will prevent barking from the doggos already here and reduce stress and separation anxiety for your pet. Please bring your pet's food in Ziploc bags with his or her name clearly written on them. If there are medications and/or supplements to be given, please include detailed and clearly written or typed instructions. What you DO NOT need to bring: food bowls water bowls pet beds/blankets toys clothes We provide toys (including indoor, outdoor, plush, toys for chewers, so let us know if your dog has a preference), beds, wipes, brushes, and crates if your pet needs one at night. Apart from our home that is open to your pet, we have an additional house on our property that can accommodate guests. We also have part-time staff who can help on an as-needed basis. Your pet will be free to run around our 1/4 acre backyard that is fully enclosed by a 6 foot fence. We have a large gazebo that provides shade during the hotter days. The backyard is divided into a large grassy area and smaller gravel and concrete sections. Fresh water is provided consistently. Tours of our home will not be granted. We will happily provide you with our Instagram account so you can view the premises and also check out our regular guests having a great time. We do not require a meet-and-greet for the stay, but if you would like to do one, our front porch provides the perfect spot for us to meet. We dedicate the weekends between 9am and 11am to any meet-and-greets you wish to have. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets ! My partner, Hunter, and I both have remote positions so we are home most of the time. We absolutely love taking the pups on mid-day walks. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. After dinner, everyone gets a dental bone with enzymatic puppy toothpaste to freshen breath and keep cavities at bay!
