“Shaquita was wonderful with Honey! She was a lifesaver in a last minute situation and took such good care of our girl. I would heartily recommend Shaquita to anyone in the area in need of care for their furbabies!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Gunner. Lisa is amazing ! She texted and sent pictures of Gunner. She was extremely professional. Gunner was taken care of very well. She was very prompt in answering any questions. We highly recommend using Lisa. You will not be disappointed!”
“Outstanding! Highly recommend. If ever need a place for Razor to stay will be with her and her husband. Took great care of our baby, Razor. We were in punta Cana so sent us emails with updates rather than us having to pay outrageous fees for texts. This is only the third time we have had to board him and it's the happiest he has been. Won't use anyone else!”
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.
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 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! I have plenty of time to play with your fur baby and give them all the love and attention they need! I have a fenced in yard & your fur baby will be treated like one of my own they are apart of my family and treated like my child. In my home they are allowed on my couch but if you don’t want them on the furniture I will stick to your rules so your pets don’t get confused!
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!

About: Im an animal science major, I've worked at dog kennels and a dog boarding area since I was little. If you can't tell animals are basically my life. Some special skills are knowing that all dogs are different, I will make sure that I know all the necessities needed for each dog or critter that you will have me watch! If they need special medication I'll make sure that's taken, and anything you do for your dog/critter normally. I'll also make sure will get done as well! Hope this helps explain some more about who I am, if there are any questions don't be afraid to ask! I do work during the day in Lawrenceburg from 7 to 4. I work full time in Winterset, but I'm off by the latest 4 p.m during the week. I'm free on weekends, and can be there anytime then! For service for pets in my home. I apologize, but at the moment I don't bring into my home. For in a client's home, I make sure they have their regular routine they're use to. They don't recieve any extra food that may upset stomachs. I also ensure to follow any rules given or asked by the pet owner.
“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!”
“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.”
About: Hi!! I have assisted family and friends with their fur babies since i was old enough to drive and it has always been my favorite thing to do! I love making sure our little friends are fed, watered, played with, loved, and overall taken care of, as they deserve. I am a stay at home mom, so I am almost always free! Because my son loves dogs and cats, I felt this was the perfect thing for me to do! Day to day pet schedules will always vary depending on what your specific pet needs, but food and outside time are very important. I offer walks, going to dog parks, or just staying in the yard! Whatever your pet needs, they will have and, no matter what, there will always be lots of fun!

“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!”
“Bre did a fantastic job with our three cats! We have two senior cats who are a bit high maintenance and one younger one who is sweet but energetic, and she didn’t mind the list of details to keep everyone content while we were out of town! Extremely thorough, great communication, would definitely recommend Bre and will use her again!”
About: I come from a home who owed/bred dogs. I’ve always had a pet. I’ve dealt with puppies, kittens, raccoons, birds, iguanas, and fish. I do crate train as that’s what we do with our own puppies. We provide a safe home for your fur babies, with lots of love and play. I already care for my one fur baby. We have a routine we like to follow, it helps with the pets and children in the home. I have a fenced in yard and generally crate train in my home. We have a routine for walks, feeding, and playtime.... lots of playtime.
About: I grew up around cats and have never been without one for long. I've been filling food bowls and scooping litter nearly as long as I've known how to read. I've also worked at two veterinary clinics that offer animal boarding, so I'm experienced in dealing with more difficult cats, administering medication, and following stricter diets. I've even cared for disabled cats, such as cats without eyes or cats with paralyzed back legs.
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: My love for animals began as early as I can remember. I have always had a deep reverence for all life around me. I'm currently a student at UNA studying environmental science and sustainability. I hope to one day have my own farm. I've had a wide variety of pets over the years; gerbils, Guinea pigs, a box turtle, and many of my friends growing up had dogs as well. My first true animal companion was our family dog, Logan, who was a rescued Golden Retriever/ German Shepard mix. He passed away at age 15 when I was 13 on Christmas morning (no joke- of all days..). My family took a long time to get another dog because we felt that no dog could ever top Logan. My parents did get another dog since, a rambunctious and loving beagle mix named Molly. I have also had an orange tabby cat named Señor Platáno of which whom I allowed to be indoor and outdoor while I went to school at Kent State University, but he was tragically hit by a car. To this day I still think of him more as a dog the way we were so close. I haven’t been in the right place financially to have a dog of my own but at my most recent job I was able to interact with dogs on a daily basis and it always made my day. I decided to sign up for Rover because I am currently unemployed and enrolled at UNA so I thought what better way to earn some side money than to become a dog walker/sitter. I look forward to meeting as many furry friends as I can and I will truly cherish every encounter I am fortunate enough to have. Thank you. I am currently unemployed so my schedule is practically wide open. I will be resuming my education at UNA in the Fall, but all of my classes will be online so my schedule shouldn't change much. I live in Florence and I like to stay local with my hobbies so I’m not usually ever far from the Shoals area. Dog and cat care will fit well with my schedule. Pet care at a clients home will always be carried out with honor and reverence towards the clients, their home and their pets. I was a boyscout growing up and my loving parents taught me well to respect people and animals so when I leave a home I will leave it in the same condition or better than when I arrived. Your pet will get my undivided attention and care as I will treat them like I would my own, with love and respect.
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’ve taken care of pets for my friends and family since I was a child. Taking them for walks, giving them baths, house sitting or bringing them to my house to care for them. I’ve always loved it! I have many years and types of animal experience. Let me know how I can help you out! I’m currently working from home- meaning I can be at your house 24/7 to care for your animals! I have a flexible job so walks, medications, and love and attention to your pet with be my priority! When staying in clients homes, I assure the animals stick to the schedules created by their parents! It’s important to me to keep the whole house running while my client is traveling- mail, trash, lawn services, etc. can all continue like normal with me there to keep things running smoothly! I also beleive it’s my job to leave a home “better than I found it” so you can return home with no extra chores from my stay!

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.

I also have experience dog sitting for friends & family, but would love to expand to help new families! I am a teacher, so my afternoons and weekends are wide open! I’d love to spend some of my free time with your sweet animals. My pets have comfort, safety, and fun in my home. It is so important to keep my animals as happy and healthy (physically and mentally) as can be, because they help me be the best version of myself with their companionship.
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: Hi!! I have assisted family and friends with their fur babies since i was old enough to drive and it has always been my favorite thing to do! I love making sure our little friends are fed, watered, played with, loved, and overall taken care of, as they deserve. I am a stay at home mom, so I am almost always free! Because my son loves dogs and cats, I felt this was the perfect thing for me to do! Day to day pet schedules will always vary depending on what your specific pet needs, but food and outside time are very important. I offer walks, going to dog parks, or just staying in the yard! Whatever your pet needs, they will have and, no matter what, there will always be lots of fun!
About: My love for animals began as early as I can remember. I have always had a deep reverence for all life around me. I'm currently a student at UNA studying environmental science and sustainability. I hope to one day have my own farm. I've had a wide variety of pets over the years; gerbils, Guinea pigs, a box turtle, and many of my friends growing up had dogs as well. My first true animal companion was our family dog, Logan, who was a rescued Golden Retriever/ German Shepard mix. He passed away at age 15 when I was 13 on Christmas morning (no joke- of all days..). My family took a long time to get another dog because we felt that no dog could ever top Logan. My parents did get another dog since, a rambunctious and loving beagle mix named Molly. I have also had an orange tabby cat named Señor Platáno of which whom I allowed to be indoor and outdoor while I went to school at Kent State University, but he was tragically hit by a car. To this day I still think of him more as a dog the way we were so close. I haven’t been in the right place financially to have a dog of my own but at my most recent job I was able to interact with dogs on a daily basis and it always made my day. I decided to sign up for Rover because I am currently unemployed and enrolled at UNA so I thought what better way to earn some side money than to become a dog walker/sitter. I look forward to meeting as many furry friends as I can and I will truly cherish every encounter I am fortunate enough to have. Thank you. I am currently unemployed so my schedule is practically wide open. I will be resuming my education at UNA in the Fall, but all of my classes will be online so my schedule shouldn't change much. I live in Florence and I like to stay local with my hobbies so I’m not usually ever far from the Shoals area. Dog and cat care will fit well with my schedule. Pet care at a clients home will always be carried out with honor and reverence towards the clients, their home and their pets. I was a boyscout growing up and my loving parents taught me well to respect people and animals so when I leave a home I will leave it in the same condition or better than when I arrived. Your pet will get my undivided attention and care as I will treat them like I would my own, with love and respect.
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!
About: I come from a home who owed/bred dogs. I’ve always had a pet. I’ve dealt with puppies, kittens, raccoons, birds, iguanas, and fish. I do crate train as that’s what we do with our own puppies. We provide a safe home for your fur babies, with lots of love and play. I already care for my one fur baby. We have a routine we like to follow, it helps with the pets and children in the home. I have a fenced in yard and generally crate train in my home. We have a routine for walks, feeding, and playtime.... lots of playtime.
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 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
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’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and lizards most of my life! I grew up with all shapes and sizes of dogs bathing, feeding, scheduling, and loving them. I dog sit a handsome 11 year old mix breed and have never found an animal I didn’t want to befriend. I am currently looking to make my own schedule as normal jobs won’t fit my upcoming October school schedule. As I excel in pet care for you I will be able to cater more to my 9-4 (workable) school hours. I currently live at home both houses with a fenced in yard and parks near. Bringing pets into my home must be a special request as I have other animals aswell!!
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.

“Shaquita was wonderful with Honey! She was a lifesaver in a last minute situation and took such good care of our girl. I would heartily recommend Shaquita to anyone in the area in need of care for their furbabies!”
“Outstanding! Highly recommend. If ever need a place for Razor to stay will be with her and her husband. Took great care of our baby, Razor. We were in punta Cana so sent us emails with updates rather than us having to pay outrageous fees for texts. This is only the third time we have had to board him and it's the happiest he has been. Won't use anyone else!”
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.

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 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.

I always strive to create a calm, familiar environment so pets feel at ease while their owners are away.
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.

“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: 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!
