Their warm and welcoming environment makes every stay a delight. They go above and beyond to ensure River feels comfortable and loved. Whether it's engaging him in playtime, providing treats, or simply showering him with affection, their dedication shines through. I love receiving updates and pictures, which reassure me that he’s having a fantastic time. Knowing that River is in such capable hands allows me to relax and enjoy my time away. I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy home for their pets. Thank you for everything you do for River! 🐕 ♥️”

She also watered our plants and brought in mail while we were gone. She seems to know a lot about dogs and is a wealth of info on chickens, as well. Some of my chickens were not doing so well and thanks to her advice, they are looking healthier. I'd highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve grown up around cats and currently have two of my own! I also have 3 years of experience working as a kennel technician at a boarding facility, where I cared for cats with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable giving medications, keeping up with feeding routines, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure cats get plenty of attention and enrichment. I know every cat is different, so I’m happy to give them space when they need it. Making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

About: We have had cats since I was born! I love working with the shy ones and slowly gaining their trust. I have taken in numerous strays over the years who were feral. My last one I took in 2 years ago. Prior to catching her succesfully, she had two litters of kittens all of which I decided to keep (7 cats in total, 3 are in the picture, they were just 4 months there! They are the largest cats I've ever had!)

About: I’ve been working with dogs since I was a kid, starting on a farm where I helped train and care for service dogs. Whether your pup wants a rugged adventure hike or a quick stroll through the neighborhood, I’m happy to match their energy. I’ve raised my dog, Nikka, since she was 7 weeks old and am fully comfortable handling medications, special feeding, and high-needs care for pets of all types. Pet care fits around the day, not the other way around. Mornings start with a walk and breakfast, mid-day gets a longer outing or backyard time, and evenings are for hanging out. I keep a routine but I'm flexible when a pet needs something different. I treat a client's home like my own. Dogs get their normal routine kept intact, walks, meals, and meds on the same schedule they're used to, plus plenty of company so it doesn't feel like a kennel. I keep things clean, send updates with photos, and follow whatever house rules the owner leaves. Nikka comes along when it's allowed, but only after everyone had a successful meet & greet.

About: Hey there!🙋‍♂️ I love animals and grew up always having at least 1 dog in the house🐶🐾I've volunteered for many animal rescue/ adoption organizations such as SPCA, AARF and BARK. I'm very familiar with dogs/cats of different sizes. I dont currently have any pets living with me (your furry friend can have my undivided attention❤). I've been dog walking and dog sitting for free for friends/family then someone told me I could make money doing it 🤯😅😂 I am happy to help during the evenings starting the 26th and I am free any day or time after the 4th. Looking forward to meeting you. I am very clean and tidy at my own house and would treat yours the same. Aside from your pet's more relaxed mood, you wouldn't even know I was there!

About: Your dog becomes part of the family the moment they arrive 🐾💛 I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment where every dog is cared for like my own. With over 4 years of hands on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, you can feel confident your dog is in capable and knowledgeable hands. As a certified dog trainer, I go beyond basic boarding by providing structure, guidance, and consistency throughout their stay. Whether it’s reinforcing commands, practicing leash manners, or simply maintaining a calm routine, your dog is always learning and thriving ✨🐶 I also have three personal dogs of my own ranging from 1 to 8 years old, so I truly understand the different needs, energy levels, and personalities that come with every stage of life 🐕🐕‍🦺🐾 My goal is to give your dog a comfortable, enriching, and stress free stay while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I’m a stay-at-home mom and a part-time dog trainer who works out of my own home. I’m already home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and consistent care without long periods alone. My training background also means I understand dog behavior, routines, and safety, so your pet gets both loving care and structured supervision in a calm, home-based environment. When pets stay in my home, they become part of my daily routine and are treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, and time to relax. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule and any special instructions closely, including medications if needed. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give them lots of attention, affection, and structure, while using my dog training experience to reinforce good behavior and keep interactions positive and safe.

Due to my flexible schedule, I am able to cater to your pets needs to make sure they are getting the love they need. I have a fenced back yard and a great neighborhood to walk in. I work from home, so I am always at your pet's beck and call. At your home, I can work as needed and spend time with your pet in the comfort of their own home.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I treat every pet in my care like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and entertained while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or would rather curl up for cuddles and belly rubs. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, walking routines, crate routines, and other care instructions you provide. I also understand that puppies may need extra patience, consistency, frequent potty breaks, and lots of positive attention, while senior pets may need a slower pace, extra comfort, and a little more TLC. Most importantly, I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new. My goal is to give your pet plenty of love and attention while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for by someone who truly cares. 🐾❤️ I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! 🐾 I’m available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and check-ins. Since my schedule isn’t tied to a traditional workday, I can be flexible with early mornings, daytime care, evenings, and weekends. Your pet won’t just be squeezed into my schedule—they’ll be an important part of my day! ❤️ Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. 🐾 I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, boundaries, and any special instructions so I can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable to them. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll keep their environment clean, secure, and stress-free. I’ll carefully follow feeding, walking, potty, crate, and medication instructions provided by you, and I’ll never force interaction with a pet who needs extra time or space to feel comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m also respectful of your space and privacy. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, loved, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. ❤️🐶🐱

About: I bring not only years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, but also a genuine passion for making each pet feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily schedule. I plan my days around walks, playtime, and check-ins, making sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need. I’m flexible with mornings and afternoons, so I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily walks or just drop-ins, I make sure every pet feels loved and cared for as if they were my own. I respect your home and your pet’s routine. I keep everything consistent—meals, walks, playtime, and bedtime—so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your furry friend is doing. No matter the service, I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and care. 🐶🐱💛

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Besides having a dog as a pet throughout my lifetime, I volunteered my time to help train service dogs for a local organization for the past 2 years. During this time I would walk, feed and bathe puppies through adulthood. I would potty train, teach door manners, heal, sit, stay,place, stay under table during dinner time and various other life skills for the dog to follow. I would also brush their teeth, play with them daily and show them constant affection and love. I’m currently working 1-2 days per week prn, so I’ll have plenty of time to work around various schedules to assist all of my clients needs. I will walk the dog around on a leash, ensuring to monitor the weather to make sure that the asphalt is not to hot for their paws. I will earn trust of my clients by communicating efficiently and proving over time that I have the best interest in the care and safety of your pet.

About: Your dog becomes part of the family the moment they arrive 🐾💛 I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment where every dog is cared for like my own. With over 4 years of hands on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, you can feel confident your dog is in capable and knowledgeable hands. As a certified dog trainer, I go beyond basic boarding by providing structure, guidance, and consistency throughout their stay. Whether it’s reinforcing commands, practicing leash manners, or simply maintaining a calm routine, your dog is always learning and thriving ✨🐶 I also have three personal dogs of my own ranging from 1 to 8 years old, so I truly understand the different needs, energy levels, and personalities that come with every stage of life 🐕🐕‍🦺🐾 My goal is to give your dog a comfortable, enriching, and stress free stay while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I’m a stay-at-home mom and a part-time dog trainer who works out of my own home. I’m already home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and consistent care without long periods alone. My training background also means I understand dog behavior, routines, and safety, so your pet gets both loving care and structured supervision in a calm, home-based environment. When pets stay in my home, they become part of my daily routine and are treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, and time to relax. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule and any special instructions closely, including medications if needed. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give them lots of attention, affection, and structure, while using my dog training experience to reinforce good behavior and keep interactions positive and safe.

I'm very familiar with dogs/cats of different sizes. I dont currently have any pets living with me (your furry friend can have my undivided attention❤). I've been dog walking and dog sitting for free for friends/family then someone told me I could make money doing it 🤯😅😂 I am happy to help during the evenings starting the 26th and I am free any day or time after the 4th. Looking forward to meeting you. I am very clean and tidy at my own house and would treat yours the same. Aside from your pet's more relaxed mood, you wouldn't even know I was there!

About: Whether I am doing drop-in visits, dog walking or boarding your fur babes, they truly become part of my family. I have always held a deep affinity and bonding affection for animals, and my primary goal is to provide a seamless, stress-free environment for them while you are away. Efficient, loving care of your pets is what I will provide. & your peace of mind will be ensured. As a Registered Nurse, I bring a high level of clinical observation, assessment, calmness, and safety to my pet care. I also worked part-time in a veterinary practice earlier in my career, giving me a solid foundation in animal handling and wellness. I have much experience with my own pets past & present whom I have provided post-surgical care, administered medications & administered insulin injections. I have also administered subcutaneous IV fluids for several of my elderly cats in renal failure. I have loved all of my pets over the years, which included dogs, cats & guinea pigs! You can trust me with your dogs, cats or small animals. I’m currently retired with plans to work PT in 2027. For now I am “ free” to devote my time to your pets as needed. I have a very gentle & friendly rescued Beagle/ Foxhound who enjoys running & romping with playmates in my large fully fenced yard. I have a friendly, funny, curious 2 y/o tabby cat & a curmudgeon 17 y/o Tortie cat who sticks to herself mostly or lounges on her “Thrones” & observes her domain! If boarding, your pets can have relaxed free rein, including resting on furniture. In caring for your pets in your home, I will be respectful, honor your instructions & give affectionate, detail oriented, safe care.

About: I’ve been working with dogs since I was a kid, starting on a farm where I helped train and care for service dogs. Whether your pup wants a rugged adventure hike or a quick stroll through the neighborhood, I’m happy to match their energy. I’ve raised my dog, Nikka, since she was 7 weeks old and am fully comfortable handling medications, special feeding, and high-needs care for pets of all types. Pet care fits around the day, not the other way around. Mornings start with a walk and breakfast, mid-day gets a longer outing or backyard time, and evenings are for hanging out. I keep a routine but I'm flexible when a pet needs something different. I treat a client's home like my own. Dogs get their normal routine kept intact, walks, meals, and meds on the same schedule they're used to, plus plenty of company so it doesn't feel like a kennel. I keep things clean, send updates with photos, and follow whatever house rules the owner leaves. Nikka comes along when it's allowed, but only after everyone had a successful meet & greet.

About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been caring for dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets gave me a natural love for animals, and over the years I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every animal. I treat every pet like family and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company in their home. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I wait to begin my career as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant in late August. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling needs whenever possible. I love staying active, so spending time outdoors walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy during this transition period before starting work. Providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets is my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a calm, dependable, and comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I live in a pet-friendly environment with plenty of safe areas for walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow each owner’s home instructions regarding routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special needs. I’m attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾

Since I work full time I can do daily walks and potty breaks between 2 and 3pm Monday thru Friday and weekends I’m available anytime. In my home it will be strictly leash walks because the yard is not fenced. In your home it will be the same unless your yard is fenced.

About: Hi! I’m home for the summer and excited to spend time doing something I love, caring for animals. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and I recently lost my own, which reminded me just how much animals mean to me. While I don’t have time for a full-time pet right now, I still stay involved by volunteering every week at a local animal shelter and helping care for the cat I live with at school. I also worked as a vet assistant for a year, so I’m experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or anything in between, I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I gave my own. I’m currently taking an online summer course with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the summer for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. Since I’m not working right now, I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m happy to help however I can! In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, so they stay comfortable and happy while you’re away. I make sure they get plenty of attention and care!

About: I’ve had a deep love for dogs my entire life, growing up with golden retrievers and labs who taught me the joy of the human-dog bond. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds - from German shepherds and pitbulls to shih tzus and Yorkies - and I’ve loved discovering each breed’s unique personality and temperament. What I cherish most is forming genuine connections with every dog I meet. I get as much from these interactions as the dogs do, and that mutual trust and affection is what makes pet care so rewarding for me. I’m experienced with e-collar training, standard obedience, and reinforcing whatever training methods you use at home. I’m equally comfortable caring for energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs, adapting my approach to each dog’s specific needs. I’m confident administering medications and following any feeding or routine schedule precisely. Whether walking through busy urban streets, quiet neighborhoods, or parks with other dogs around, I prioritize safety while ensuring your pup gets the exercise and stimulation they need. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care like family - because to me, they are. I work from home doing freelance/contract work, which gives me the flexibility to build my schedule around pet care. Since I set my own hours, I can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, and house sitting without the constraints of a traditional 9-5 job. This setup is ideal for dogs because I can provide midday attention when most people are stuck at the office. Whether your pup needs a lunch-time walk, consistent daily visits, or someone reliable for last-minute bookings, my flexible schedule makes it work. I’m available most days throughout the week, and I can adjust my work hours to match your dog’s routine. For house sitting, I’m able to stay overnight and be present throughout the day, which means your dog gets plenty of company and isn’t left alone for long stretches. Basically, my work adapts to pet care - not the other way around. House Sitting: When staying at your home, I maintain your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. My day typically includes morning walks or playtime, midday exercise and mental stimulation, and evening walks before bed. Throughout the day, I provide companionship, follow your feeding schedule precisely, and administer any medications as directed. I’ll also handle basic tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping your home secure. I send regular photo updates so you know your pup is happy and well-cared for. Drop-In Visits: I’ll come by at scheduled times to feed your dog, provide fresh water, and give them a potty break and some quality attention. Each visit includes playtime or a brief walk depending on your dog’s needs and energy level. I’ll also tidy up any messes, ensure they’re comfortable, and send you a quick update with photos so you have peace of mind while you’re away. Dog Walking: I tailor each walk to your dog’s age, energy level, and training. Whether it’s a leisurely neighborhood stroll or a more vigorous park session, I focus on both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I’m attentive to their behavior around other dogs and people, and I always prioritize safety while making sure they have a great time.

“Having Lorena keep our dogs was a great experience for us and more importantly, our dogs. They were treated as part of their family and made friends with them and the other dogs. Their home lay-out is so nice for the dogs to have private quiet time when wanted and mingle as well. Can't say enough good things about our experience.”

“I can't express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care River receives at his home away from home. From the very first visit, it was clear that River was going to be treated like family. Their warm and welcoming environment makes every stay a delight. They go above and beyond to ensure River feels comfortable and loved. Whether it's engaging him in playtime, providing treats, or simply showering him with affection, their dedication shines through. I love receiving updates and pictures, which reassure me that he’s having a fantastic time. Knowing that River is in such capable hands allows me to relax and enjoy my time away. I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy home for their pets. Thank you for everything you do for River! 🐕 ♥️”

“Denise was the best with my dog. I definitely wouldn’t want to kennel the dog or crate the dog while I needed a day sitter for 3 weeks. I picked up my dog every morning and night and Denise was absolutely the reason why my relocation for a job. I was absolutely worried about a lot. Denise was the best option for where I was working and what I needed to accomplish. Book Denise because I would book Denise again since we had no complications and it was just an experience too good to be true.”
