“My dog Cookie was well taken care of. Nikkole listened to my concerns, vet's suggestions, and what works best for my dog, and goes above and beyond! Cookie was so well taken care of in my absence, and he came home so healthy and happy. I will definitely be taking him back and am thankful to her for treating my dog as one of her own.”
“Diahann is great! This was our two dogs first time with a sitter and they did really good. Diahann was very communicative, sending updates with photos every day. I think anyone would be lucky to have her as a sitter. Thanks you Diahann!”
“I was super nervous to leave my pup for the first time but she was in great hands with Chloe! She gave great updates throughout my trip and my girl had so much fun with Chloe and her family. She became part of their family in just a couple days and now she can’t wait for a reason to come back for her next stay!”

“Another stellar stay with Dana. She always seems to find a way to fit us into her busy schedule. We totally appreciate it. Maggie and Brutus, again, seems to have a fabulous time with her and the other dog guests. Came home and bithbwer asleep quickly on our couch. Chalking that up to a lot of playtime in Dana's care. 100% recommend Dana!”
“This was my first time using Kathie to Rover sit as I just moved to the area. She did a fantastic job putting my mind at ease leaving my mini golden doodle with her. She was communicative, sent updates and photos and when I picked him up he was in great spirits and looked to have had a wonderful time. I can’t say enough how much it meant knowing he was at Kathies and in good hands. We are excited to know she will have us back!”
“Anna is absolutely amazing with Zeus. From the moment we met her, we knew he was in the best hands. She treats him like family, giving him so much love, attention, and care. Zeus always comes home happy, well cared for, and relaxed, which says everything about the environment she creates. Her communication is great, and she truly goes above and beyond to make sure he’s comfortable and safe. Anna is the one and only babysitter we will ever use for Zeus. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

“Leslie is fantastic!!! We felt so good about leaving our baby with her. Basil has some separation anxiety (so do I) and she was great with both of us and sent photos every day and some videos of her playing. It made it so we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about her. We will definitely use her on the future and highly recommend her!!!”

“So nice that Katie and family have welcomed Aki into their pack. I know they really love Aki and it shows. Aki also loves having Blue as a play friend. This was our second time dropping Aki off for boarding. She's always excited to be there.”

“Christian has looked after our cats for years now and there’s no one we trust more. He always makes sure their feeding, medicine, and nighttime routines are followed. And he makes sure to send pictures and videos for us to see what cute shenanigans they’re up to. He’ll always be our first call when we need our four-legged babies looked after whether it be days, weeks, or months.”
About: I have my own 1.5yr old husky/blue heeler, he's my best bud. Before him I adopted a senior lab & loved her through her end of life care. I grew up with multiple dogs & had one other long term dog best friend in early adulthood. I'm currently a stay at home mom with one at home & one in grade school. Have plenty of time to walk, drop in or even dog sit. I will care for your pets with love & follow any instructions given. At my home I have a fully fenced yard & my own dog that is dog friendly.
“Taylor is a wonderful and dedicated sitter. She kept us informed each day on how our two kitties, Bella and Rudy, we doing. Sent us photos and videos which we truly appreciated. We highly recommend Taylor.”
“Ellyse made us feel so comfortable during our time away from our kitties! Her check-ins were informative and the pictures were really cute and fun, you could tell they were being well cared for. During the meet and greet she was attentive and knowledgeable about cat behavior and care. We will definitely request her for future bookings!”
About: Hi, my name is Hailey and I’m 28 years old. I am currently going to nursing school full time and I am trying to make some extra money on the side to support my family. My husband and I have had our one dog(Kota, female) for 6 years now and another dog(Ash, male) for 4 years. I also have 2 outdoor barn kitties and 8 chickens. I love to homestead, grow my own veggies and read in my spare time. We have had our dog Kota(English-setter, 11 years old) since she was a puppy and my husband and I decided to adopt Ash(boxer, 6 years old) when he was only 1 year old. He was labeled free and the previous owner could not take care of him, plus he was not trained. He had never experienced grass before so when we first got him his paws would bleed and I got the opportunity to help heal him and hone in to correct his bad behavior skills. I would dedicate 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour at night to train him for a year before he started to trust me and we developed a wonderful relationship like we have with our Kota. I love all of our animal immensely and I believe that animals are not some inanimate object you have but a true companion in your life that deserves to be treated like family. I would love to care for your pet and I can provide some training while doing so in a positive reward environment. I do not believe in animal abuse or keeping animals without having dedication in creating a relationship. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile, I look forward to working with you. I have school in the mornings during the week and I have study time after that. I can work with your pet most likely afternoons and weekends as long as I’m not busy that weekend. I am flexible, it just depends on the requested times. I believe in reward training and care. I have worked with my own dogs through kennel training and rewarding good behavior. Abuse is not a form of training in my mind, I believe any animal can be trained as long as you put the time and effort into them. Doing this creates a stable and loving relationship between you and that animal.
“My cat Charlee was content and happy when I arrived home after a 5 day vacation. Anna's daily visits made all the difference in keeping my cat feeling safe, secure & loved.”
“Mandi was amazing!!! Mandi watched our sweet 10-year-old Maine Coon mix boy, Poseidon. Mandi was responsive, attentive, and our boy LOVED every visit!!! We also got the cutest updates and best photos too!!! We will definitely be booking with Mandi again and truly couldn’t be more grateful for all the love and attention Mandi gave our boy during our absence!!!! Thank you so much, Mandi!!!!!!”
“Jazmyne did a great job with my senior cat. He gets very nervous when his mama is gone, but knowing Jazmyne was there gave me great comfort. She gave me daily updates and sent pictures, so I knew how my boy was doing each day I was away. She followed my directions to a tee, and kept me informed when anything seemed out of the ordinary. As a bonus, my house was spotless when I arrived home, which was SO nice to come back to after being gone for an extended weekend. Don’t hesitate to book with Jazmyne; she is very conscientious, and clearly loves the animals she cares for as if they were her own.”
“Krista was easy to communicate with during the entire process. She was attentive and followed the instructions and scheduled to a T. We felt very much at ease during our trip knowing we could count on her. We will definitely be booking her in our future.”
“Jessica was so great at putting me at ease with my first trip away after getting a puppy. She came on time every day, communicated so fast, and was flexible when my travel schedule changed last minute. It’s great to have a trusted resource when needed!”

About: **Meet and Greet Required for all New Clients** *Cat Experienced and Crate Trained Dogs Only* I am certified graduate from Animal Behavior College with over 15 years of experience caring and training dogs. I own Awakening Companionship, a positive reinforcement training business. Having worked professionally and personally with a variety of dog ages, breeds and personalities, I understand the importance of personalized pet care! I currently work from home as a graphic designer, except for one or two days a week subbing at SBLSD or when I see dog training clients. I do have two cats and three senior dogs, so staying close to home for their needs would align with any pet I am caring for. *New Clients must be crated trained and have experience with cats* This is to ensure safety around my other pets during feedings and sleeping/naps. For the safety of you fur- family, I ask that they are comfortable in kennels and around my furry family. I have a fully fenced shady back yard, two loving kids and two senior dogs to keep your fur baby company during their stay. There is ample space to play, train and explore! Exercise and mental play are important to a happy pet, so whether at your house or mine, we make sure to pack in the fun!
“Excellent daycare experience for our 35 pound mini aussiedoodle. We were in the area for a little local vacation and needed a day sitter while we took our daughter to an event. Keri and Kerry have a fantastic back yard and provided our pup with what appeared to be an enjoyable day. Our pup got along great with their dog Beau and got plenty of activity throughout the day. We’d definitely reach out again if we’re back in the area for a future vacation!”
“I'm so glad I found Siyun! My senior boy did 8 days of daycare & was excited for drop-off each am with her. Siyun kept me informed & took great pictures. I would definitely recommend using her to anyone!”
About: I have 27+ years experience caring for all kinds of animals but mainly dogs and cats. I really find it rewarding and I enjoy helping animals. I love walking them, brushing, bathing, teaching basic tricks like sit/shake/stay, playing with toys, playing fetch, rewarding with treats! I can also dispense vitamins/supplements, and/or medication accurately if needed. I have experience with pregnancies and older dogs and cats. I will customize your pets care plan to what works best for them. I am widely available through the entire week. I'm very flexible and reliable. Usually I am free during most days and nights. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet your amazing pets, and provide the best quality and safest, care and attention for your loved ones. I have a house with a large open fenced in yard with grass. I have a large crate also if needed. I also have 2 small very friendly dogs of my own here, a Malshi male (Shih tzu/Maltese mix) and a purebred Maltese female. A peaceful and safe environment for all of your pets!

“First time leaving our pup Truffle with Kathie today. Kathie was super great! Truffle had a terrific time with Kathie and her husband and their dog, Hershey. Truffle was treated like part of the family. Spent lots of time sitting on their laps, getting cuddled, went for a walk. What a fun filled day for Truffle! Kathie kept me posted and sent me photos throughout the day. Would definitely have Kathie take care of Truffle again.”

Yukti is very good at training dogs and she provides good discipline as well as abundant attention and exercise for my dog. We returned to her after we got our second Siberian pup. Great and professional sitter.”
“I don’t think it would be possible to find a sitter for my fur babies that would match Dianahh. I los my wife if 47 years last March. These ‘kids’ are so very special and important to me now. I was very nervous about boarding them. My wife was a Rover sitter for several years so I knew it was possible to find someone with compassion and Dianahh is that and more. Don’t look anywhere else. She’s perfect. John.”
“My dog had a small incident where he attempted to run away and odalys and her husband handled it so well even got injured making sure he didn’t run away I truly can’t thank both of these two for how they handled the situation and how professional they are and will definitely recommend them to people”
“Jessica was amazing and took such great care of my doxie Frankie for last-minute daycare while I was in town for a wedding ☺️ she sent lots of lovely photos and videos of Frankie and her own doxies playing together throughout the day... absolutely melted my heart. Will definitely be back!”
About: Dog care Experience 🐾 Caring for dogs has always been a meaningful part of my life. I grew up with a family dog and have spent years looking after pups of all sizes, personalities, and needs. As a dedicated dog lover, I treat every furry guest like one of my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. I do have 3 fur babies of my own. So with each new client we introduce 1 dog at a time and when I feel comfortable they will be all together under supervision of course. My home is truly a dog-loving environment. My fiancé is a mobile dog groomer and together we share a passion for providing top-quality care. Playtime and activity are an essential part of every dog’s stay. Whether it’s zoomies in the yard, interactive play, or fun, energizing walks, I make sure each pup stays happy, stimulated, and engaged. I also have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs and those with special needs, including administering medications such as eye drops. I understand the importance of patience, gentleness, and attentiveness, especially for older pets who need a little extra comfort. With me, your dog will be in safe, loving hands—because they’re not just pets, they’re family ❤️ I’m a stay-at-home dog mom, which means I’m home full-time and able to provide constant care, attention, and supervision for your pup during daycare or boarding. I do share my home with my 3 sweet fur babies. They’re friendly but can take a little time to warm up to new people and dogs. Once you drop off your pup I will allow them to sniff and explore throughout the whole entire house, front yard and backyard/garden. Then when they seem to get settled I start introduction with 1 dog at a time for about 10-15 minutes then repeat with all the dogs I have. Next step is bring 2 pups out at a time to play together but mostly its just alot of Sniffing lol Creating a calm, safe, and loving environment is very important to me, and I take the time to ensure every dog feels secure and welcomed. Your pup will be treated like part of Our Family while they’re here 🐶❤️ Home & Care Details 🐾 I have a nice, fully fenced yard where your pup can safely play, explore, and burn off energy. My three fur babies are always around to help keep your dog active, social, and engaged throughout the day. Daily activity is a priority here—we’ll enjoy plenty of playtime in the yard along with one or two walks, depending on your dog’s needs and energy level. To help keep your pup comfortable and on their normal routine, I kindly ask that you: Pre-portion your dog’s food for their stay Include their usual feeding schedule Provide enough food for the entire visit Give clear, detailed instructions for any medications, if needed This helps me provide consistent, attentive care and ensures your dog feels right at home 🐶❤️ Also at drop off time I ask that you call or send me a message letting me know when you are 20 minutes away and when you arrive. I will meet you and your fur baby on the front porch and I will take over care from there ♡♡♡

“Ingrid was great! We scheduled a walk last minute for our two doggos and she was quick to respond, friendly, respectful and Hank & Shasta seemed thoroughly worn out when we got back.”
About: I have always grown up having pets of various kinds including dogs, fish, small frogs, and hermit crabs. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs because I believe they often get overlooked when they deserve a high quality of life, too. (Last year, my family lost our rescue dog of twelve years.) I have also had the experience of working with farm animals throughout the course of my life through participation in a junior farmer’s program, when I was younger, and then acting as a returning volunteer and frequent visitor ever since. I am particularly familiar with raising and caring for chickens. Any chance I get, you bet you can find me learning about, observing, or spending time with animals! I am a recent college graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Spanish. I recently moved to Enumclaw, WA full time. In the upcoming year, I will be job searching for additional part-time work to start saving money while researching graduate school programs in the meantime. So, that being said, I have a very flexible schedule at the moment and am willing to find what works best with your own! I am happy to meet with you prior to caring for your pet(s) to help you decide if we are the right fit! Also, if you have specific questions, concerns, and needs, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am dedicated to providing a reliable and compassionate service. I will treat your pet(s) as if they were my own!
“Kacey was the perfect answer to giving our dogs a midday break while our friends were taking care of them. Kacey was the ‘dog whisperer’ and even got our boys to ‘pose’ for some beautiful photos! We are very thankful for Kacey and her loving care of our boys during their walks together. Thank you, Kacey!”
About: Hi, I’m Carissa! I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs. I raised and cared for Carhart, my energetic Jack Russell Terrier, and Chip, my sweet Chihuahua, from adulthood through their senior years. Their different personalities taught me that every dog has unique needs, routines, and ways of communicating. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, basic grooming, administering oral medications when needed, cleaning up after pets, and providing lots of love and attention. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a full-time nanny, caring for others is what I do every day. Families trust me to be dependable, attentive, and responsible, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, exploring new smells, or relaxing with cuddles, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I’ll treat your furry family member like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a full time nanny my schedule is pretty busy! Mondays and every other Tuesday I work 7:30am-5pm and then on Wednesdays 11-5 & Thursdays I work 12pm-6 and Fridays 8am-4pm Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I’ll treat your home with respect and always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Silvia was absolutely wonderful! I am an anxious person about our dogs' care. We also have a senior dog with her own quirks. Silvia was kind and patient in getting to know our dogs and communicated with me every day about the visits. I highly recommend her and look forward to requesting her support for our dogs in the future! Thank you so much, Silvia!!”

About: Hello! My name is Abbie, I’ve lived with a dog since I was 6 years old and have many years of care for dogs, cats, bunnies and farm animals! Many friends and family have trusted me with their precious animals for house sitting, walks, feeding and care. My desire is to serve you and your pets in a safe, comfortable and fun environment. I am currently working part-time and I’m very flexible in my schedule. Most weeks I’m able to be present for partial days and nights. I have a chill Golden Retriever at home with my family who love’s company and making new friends if your pet is up for it! If not, I love having time to get to know a pet in their own home. Your pets comfort is my top priority so making sure my attitude is calm and relaxed for your cutie is very important to me! Additionally, I am a pretty active person so play time is always on the schedule. So whether your pet is young and energetic or quiet and mature, I’m always ready to fit the needs of your pets!
About: About me: I am a Project Engineer for a construction company, we a have a little boy and a baby on the way, and we LOVE animals! We have two beautiful horses, three wonderful dogs, and two cats. Eventually I would like to rescue a few farm animals and foster dogs. One thing that breaks my heart is seeing animals in the shelter or up for slaughter. I think every animal deserves a second shot at life and I wish I could take them all on. However I have saved a few horses from slaughter and retrained them to give them a promising future! Basically I work hard to give my animals and future animals a wonderful life! In HS I was an active FFA member which gave me the opportunity to expand my knowledge from just horses, dogs, and cats to dairy cattle, goats, poultry, rabbits, and swine. I also worked for a large animal veterinarian for 2 years as a vet assistant and gained even more knowledge on how to properly care for ALL animals. Ranging from exotics, livestock, equine, dogs, and cats. So your Fur baby is in GOOD hands! At this time I am only accepting clients for drop in visits or house sitting (I do not stay the night). As we just welcomed a newborn baby into our lives. However I am available at all hours to take care of your pet needs! I look forward to working with you! I am very attentive to detail and will follow your instructions to ensure your pets are well taken care of and your home is secure and exactly how you left it 😊
“Anna has been fantastic with our dog, Chad. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs she works with. We always feel confident knowing Chad is in good hands, and he’s always happy after his walks. Highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog walker!”
About: Hi! I’m Jen — a lifelong animal lover with over 4 years of hands-on experience working at an animal shelter, plus many additional months caring for dogs and other animals on a small farm property. If there’s one thing I truly understand, it’s dogs. Especially the shy, anxious, and misunderstood ones. They hold a very special place in my heart! There is no greater feeling than earning the trust of a dog who needs a little extra patience and understanding. At the shelter I worked with every type of dog imaginable, from easygoing family pups to dogs with more complex needs due to past trauma. I was trusted to walk and handle even the more anxious or sensitive dogs, helping them build confidence and learn to trust new people. I’m very comfortable reading dog body language and adjusting my approach so each dog feels safe, respected, and understood. One of the dogs I worked closely with, Donald, needed a trusted handler present while new volunteers learned how to walk him safely, and I helped train others so he could get the exercise and enrichment he deserved. I also helped start enrichment initiatives at the shelter, including treat puzzles, mental stimulation games, and a “dog play buddy” program to give the dogs additional socialization and activity. One of my most special experiences there was helping care for a mama dog who gave birth to a litter of 10 (10!) puppies. I helped care for and socialize those puppies as they grew until they were ready for their forever homes. I also have experience caring for senior animals and understand that older pets often need a little extra patience, gentleness, and attention to their comfort and routine. Beyond dogs, I also have experience caring for cats and bunnies. Over the past few months I’ve helped care for my landlady’s 1yo kitty, and I’m very comfortable providing drop-in care and pet sitting for cats and small animals as well. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting/boarding and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, comfort level, and body language so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: every animal I care for should feel safe, so very loved, and understood. Pet care is my primary focus, so my daily routine is built around providing consistent, hands-on care. I structure my day to include regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, exercise, enrichment, and downtime, depending on each pet’s needs. I’m home for the majority of the day, which allows me to provide a high level of supervision and attention. Pets are rarely left alone for extended periods, and I’m able to adjust my schedule to support different energy levels, routines, and personalities. Whether a dog needs more activity and engagement or a calm, low-stress environment, I’m able to tailor my day to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I care for every pet based on who they are — not just a one-size-fits-all routine. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and comfort cues so pets feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for. In my home, dogs stay on a fully fenced 10-acre farm property where they can safely explore, play, and decompress. All outdoor time is supervised, and I’m intentional about creating a balanced environment — active play for dogs who love it, and plenty of quiet downtime for those who don’t. I have a friendly Mini Goldendoodle and a very mellow senior pup in the home, and I take introductions slowly and thoughtfully. I’m always prepared to separate or crate dogs if needed to keep everyone comfortable and safe. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to your routines and preferences so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I keep things calm, consistent, and predictable, which is especially important for anxious or sensitive animals. I’m very comfortable with a wide range of personalities, including dogs who need a little extra patience or structure, and I pride myself on creating an environment where pets can relax and just be themselves.
About: I had a Shiba Inu for 11 years and took care of her medications and treatments for cancer for 3 years. She was an escape artist so I’m used to walking dogs every 8 hours on a leash. I work for a school and have a typical 8-4 schedule when I’m at work. I take dogs on long walks after and provide puzzles and games for enrichment. I have a fenced backyard yard. My kitchen, living, and dining room are all pet friendly. I have a medium crate if your dog is crate trained.
About: I raised my chocolate lab. Potty, crate, and obedience trained. I have dog sat in my home town 4 dogs at once in a tiny home, that takes skill. I’ve taken care of all size of pups, and every age. At the moment I am laid off as a teacher so my days are free. I mostly am open on the weekdays, but some weekends I can make work ! I have a large fully fenced yard. Lots of room to walk or run depending on your dogs energy level. I have kennel availability and extra leashes for walks.
About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover, having shared my home with both cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. This experience has given me a natural 'animal sense' and the ability to connect with pets of all temperaments—from high-energy pups to shy or senior cats. Beyond my own furry family (one friendly cat), I’m the go-to pet sitter for my friends and relatives, who trust me to maintain their routines, administer medications, and provide plenty of exercise and belly rubs. Whether your pet needs a long walk to burn off energy or a quiet companion to curl up with, I’m dedicated to making them feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. I’ll always treat your best friend with the same care and attention I give my own! Pet care is a priority of my daily routine. My mornings always start with a dedicated walk or active playtime to ensure dogs start their day happy and get the attention they deserve. Because I have a flexible schedule, I am able to provide consistent midday bathroom breaks and every few hours. My wife works for the school district so she is home during breaks and all summer. My evenings are reserved for more exercise/walks/fetch and plenty of one-on-one snuggles to wind down. I prioritize clear communication, sending you photo and text updates throughout the day so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing. We live on 2.5 acres so there is a lot of room to play fetch and get lots of exercise. It’s mostly fenced so I am happy to take dogs on leashed walks if preferred. We live in a large house which dogs are welcome in and will get lots of attention from my 3 year old son. We do have a cat (Boba) which is very friendly and stays in her own room at night so dogs have the rest of the house over night.
“I had to be away from home for several appointments and Mandi came and took my poop for a walk. I came home to a happy dogo who clearly had a good day. She wasn’t pouting when I came home!!”
About: I've worked at an animal hospital. I've worked at animal rescues. I love pets all animals. They are what makes life worth living. I take care of animals as if they were my own children. I watch my own pets daily. If I were to watch your pet they would be well taken care of and make sure thier needs are met. For boarding at my home I have a huge space/room for your pet to stay. I have a fully fenced yard in back/front. Enough room for running around and playing. A separate room space indoor huge. Although our pets are friendly I would never have our pets around your dog while staying. They will be separated and taken out in the yard separately. For boarding at your home I would do anything your pet wanted run/walk/play/feed. I just have a baby so I can't stay the night. But I would visit morning and night. If I am able to book your pet I would make sure their needs are met and taken care of first and foremost. I would feed, play, and cuddle. In my home your pet would have a spacious environment. We have a big space for the pet to have their own room and privacy. We have a fully fenced yard for roaming and running. Your pet would be absolutely happy here. If I were to sit at your home I would make sure the pet is comfortable. I would obviously feed them to your preferences. I would take them in the back yard or walk. Overall I would make it feel like the owner never left as much as I could
About: With years of experience in dog care including breeding and pet sitting many different breeds such as; Labs, Pit bulls, German Shepards, Dachshunds, and Corgis for our friends and family, I have developed a deep understanding of differentiating canine needs. Above all, I believe in patience and consistency, ensuring that each dog feels cared for whether they’re with me for a short period or a long stay. I only work 3 days a week and have a very flexible schedule which would make it easy for me to care for other dogs. I also have a very helpful partner I live with who also loves animals. I have a fully fenced yard with two very friendly corgis. Our spacious yard provides plenty of room for dogs to run, play, and explore safely. We have a doggy door so they have easy access to get in and out. We live in a very safe neighborhood with lots of pet friendly trails.
About: I have 27+ years experience caring for all kinds of animals but mainly dogs and cats. I really find it rewarding and I enjoy helping animals. I love walking them, brushing, bathing, teaching basic tricks like sit/shake/stay, playing with toys, playing fetch, rewarding with treats! I can also dispense vitamins/supplements, and/or medication accurately if needed. I have experience with pregnancies and older dogs and cats. I will customize your pets care plan to what works best for them. I am widely available through the entire week. I'm very flexible and reliable. Usually I am free during most days and nights. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet your amazing pets, and provide the best quality and safest, care and attention for your loved ones. I have a house with a large open fenced in yard with grass. I have a large crate also if needed. I also have 2 small very friendly dogs of my own here, a Malshi male (Shih tzu/Maltese mix) and a purebred Maltese female. A peaceful and safe environment for all of your pets!
