About: I have cared for many pets of friends and family members over the years. Sadly, I had to put my own dog down this fall (13yo Boxer named Neeco) and am looking to get my pup fix through volunteering at the SPCA and pet-sitting/walking, as I am not quite ready to take on another dog just yet. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, but I especially love senior doggos. I currently work part-time as an RN and make my own schedule, so am very flexible in that regard. Available for boarding most weekends Friday-Monday. My yard is unfenced but on a very private road with low traffic. Lots of trails and streams to explore if that is something your fur baby would enjoy! If not, we have a large deck and screened in porch for outdoor lounging, and big comfy couch by the fireplace for them to relax.
“Amanda was great! She was communicative and sent us adorable photos of our boy throughout his stay. Our boy was treated like family and became best friends with her dog. I truly appreciate how much love he received while we were away!”

I have every intention of respecting the needs and privacy of my clients.

“Alyssa was very flexible and helpful with our out of town doggie day care visit! she helped reassure my dog when he was in a new place and provided a lovely space for a day away!”
About: I have grown up with big dogs such as pit bulls and huskies and love them dearly I really love how playful and caring they are. I trained both my family pitties since they were puppies I’m currently only working 30hrs a week can board for you starting Sunday nights till early Wednesday morning have space for animals to play and run I live in a house on a 1 acre property no fences so as long as your dog is properly trained and no risk of them running away I don’t mind letting them roam free if not I can just walk them around on a leash. As for cats same difference I have a back patio to allow them to be in the sun and have fresh air and all the space they deserve
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Joe! He took fantastic care of our dog, Tilly, while we were away on vacation for a week. Joe was incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring Tilly received all the love and care she needed. We came home to a happy and healthy pup, and we are so grateful for Joe's excellent service. Highly recommend!”
“We definitely recommend Audrey!! We received lots of pictures and I know our boy was extra spoiled and loved in her care. She saved us in a last minute situation and we are so thankful for her flexibility!!”
About: I have cared for many pets of friends and family members over the years. Sadly, I had to put my own dog down this fall (13yo Boxer named Neeco) and am looking to get my pup fix through volunteering at the SPCA and pet-sitting/walking, as I am not quite ready to take on another dog just yet. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, but I especially love senior doggos. I currently work part-time as an RN and make my own schedule, so am very flexible in that regard. Available for boarding most weekends Friday-Monday. My yard is unfenced but on a very private road with low traffic. Lots of trails and streams to explore if that is something your fur baby would enjoy! If not, we have a large deck and screened in porch for outdoor lounging, and big comfy couch by the fireplace for them to relax.
“Amanda was great! She was communicative and sent us adorable photos of our boy throughout his stay. Our boy was treated like family and became best friends with her dog. I truly appreciate how much love he received while we were away!”
“Cory did such an amazing job with our dog Juno! Despite it being her first time staying with him, she warmed up quickly to him and his family and had a great time. Cory sent a pic with a comment each day, which helps so much when you miss your pup! We would not hesitate to board Juno again with Cory- I highly recommend him!”
About: I have experience with older dogs, including medically fragile dogs and those with limited mobility. I absolutely love to take long walks with dogs that are able to- and I’m always down for a cuddle sesh :) I am working less than 10 hours a week this summer so I am home full time to hang out with your high energy puppy and high support need kitty! I do not have any other pets in the home and there are few in our apartment complex in general! We have tons of land to roam around on for walks!
“Rebecca was the best! She was so flexible in meeting me to drop off/pick up my dog, and I could tell that my dog loved spending time with her. She was smiling and wagging her tail when I picked her up and I know she had the best time. She sent photos throughout her stay and kept me in the loop. If I ever need someone to watch Willow again I know who to contact. Thank you!”
“Jon and his family were very gracious hosts for our furry family member. He was very thorough in asking about our beagle’s needs and provided all necessities for a successful stay: crate, bed, fenced yard, and lots of play and spoiling! It was comforting knowing that it was more of a retreat for our dog than boarding, and Jon went above and beyond to make things easy and successful. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in his hands and will be return customers! Thanks!”
