“Emily and Eric are so great with my dogs. I'm very comfortable leaving my elderly pug and my very fearful rescue dog with them. They give me regular updates and send pics daily, as well as lots of feedback when I pick my girls up. So glad I found them. Highly recommended.”
“Araceli & her husband were amazing!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ They took care of our Sullivan for 2 weeks while we were on our honeymoon, and their updates, messages, and pictures reflected their commitment to ensuring that our baby felt safe and comfortable. When Sully had a bit of an allergy flareup on his nose, they were quick to notify me and give him some ointment. It truly seemed that they cared for our pup as they would their own. I HIGHLY recommend them if you are looking for a sitter. 💜 They are truly lovely!!”
“Melissa is great with dogs! I could tell my dog trusted her right away and was wagging her tail as I left. Melissa kept me up to date and was really helpful in modifying the stay when my schedule changed. You can tell Melissa cares about dogs and makes sure they are well cared for.”
“Tony, you are an amazing dog sitter! Sadie who is generally anxious did very well with you. She came home and instead of being clingy and nervous shes very content! So thank you! Tony sent photos and videos daily, assuring me Sadie was in good hands.”
“Mary and her family were fantastic folks to care for my dog while I was away. I really appreciated getting photos and videos, and I could tell my pup had a great time. We will be booking with Mary again!”
“I can't recommend her enough! Leaving Stella while I was away was one of the hardest parts of my trip, but she made the entire experience completely stress-free. From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. It was obvious that she treated Stella as if she were her own. Throughout my entire trip, she kept me updated with frequent messages, photos, and videos of Stella, which gave me so much peace of mind. Seeing Stella happy, comfortable, and having fun made all the difference. She always took the time to let me know how Stella was doing, and I never had to wonder if she was okay. Stella came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was easy to see how much love, patience, and attention she received during her stay. Knowing that someone cared for her with so much affection meant the world to me. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, she is absolutely the person to choose. I would leave Stella with her again without a second thought, and I'm so grateful for the wonderful care she provided. Thank you for loving Stella and taking such amazing care of her while I was away it meant more to me than words can express!”
“Carolyn was so communicative and sent us such great photos and videos of our puppy while we were away! We are so appreciate of her awesome care and look forward to booking again in the future!”
“Hailey and her family were so friendly, kind, and easy to work with. We met ahead of time to make sure it was a good fit, and Hailey was so thorough and asked great questions, which gave me a lot of confidence in leaving Willow with them. Willow had the best time while we were away. We will definitely book with Hailey again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Brianna took care of Ruger, our golden doodle for 4 days. This was Ruger’s first time being away from our family. Ruger was pretty nervous being away our home. Brianna was very patient & loving with him in her home. She kept us updated with picture. We appreciated the great communication. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for in home care for their furry babies.”
“Brandi was amazing! Our dogs stayed with her for a week and were very well taken care of. She kept us updated with pictures and a check in each day. In every picture, our dogs looked so happy! Brandi handled our dog’s medication and their little quirks with ease. Drop off and pick up were easy. She really went above and beyond!”
“Greatly appreciated Amy in everything she did. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter for Mickey; she kept me informed with his activities and sent pics, putting my mind at ease. Recommend Amy as a super pet keeper.”
“We love Debbie!! She is always dependable and takes great care of our dog. She also was so communicative and flexible when travel threw us curve balls and made sure we were able to reconnect with our dog after a long day.”
“With just moving to the Vancouver area we were hesitant about leaving our boy with just anyone.. we met up with Steve first to see how he would do and we felt confident that Stanley would fit right in. Steve did a great job and Stanley came home tuckered out😎. He sent us videos and pics while he was there and that was awesome… I love that our baby can play with other dogs and get that socialization.. would recommend Steve to anyone…”
“Thank you, Todd, for taking such good care of our girl! The updates were very much appreciated. The pictures were nice clear pictures of Noel and you took care to take heed of every detail of her needs while she was with you. We will definitely look you up again if we ever need another dog sitter!”
“We LOVED our experience with Jennifer! She was wonderful with our sweet Luna. She sent updates with photos to assure us that Lu was very comfortable with her, her family and family pets. There's nothing better than to find someone who clearly loves animals and takes such great care. Highly recommend her!”
“Cynthia was absolutely amazing with Eddie! She was very communicative and made me feel very at ease with the drop off and pick ups. I recommend her for boarding and I'll be booking again I'm the future!”
“I can’t recommend Leah and Chris enough! They were so incredibly thoughtful in getting to know our dog, Indy, and her needs before her stay. They were also very easy to communicate with, so friendly and very accommodating. We received the most amazing pictures of her while we were gone and also updates about her days & how she was doing. We know she was so well cared for and can’t wait for her to spend time with them again!”
“Moira is absolutely amazing—my dog Teddy compeltely ADORED her! She has a natural gift with dogs and made my anxious pup feel totally at ease (which is no small feat). She’s also a CHAMPION communicator, sending quick replies and the cutest updates that kept me smiling. Bonus: she’s not only affordable, but super flexible too, which made everything so easy. I swear my dog didn’t want to come back home… and honestly, I don’t blame him! Highly recommend 🐾✨”

About: Hi, I’m Kelley! I’m a professional dog trainer with over 10 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. My journey started early. I began working at a veterinary office at just 15 years old as a kennel technician and assistant, where I built a strong foundation in animal care and behavior. From there, I expanded into training and spent 5 years in Hawaii working as a private contracted dog trainer, gaining extensive experience with a wide range of dogs and client needs. I mainly train basic to advanced obedience and service dog training but also have experience with training hunting/bird dogs and protection work. In 2020, I founded my own dog training business in Oregon, where I now provide customized, results-driven training programs. I work with dogs weekly through private sessions, as well as structured board-and-train programs. I also travel locally and to surrounding areas to support clients and ensure training carries over into real-life environments. I recently moved up to the WA side in Kalama. My property is fully set up with dogs in mind. I have a secure, fully fenced yard and dedicated training areas equipped with a wide variety of professional training tools. Dogs in my care receive structured training, enrichment, and appropriate socialization based on their individual temperament, goals, and needs. Whether your dog needs basic obedience, behavior modification, or a safe and structured place to stay while you’re away, I provide a reliable, experienced, and attentive approach to their care. I treat every dog like my own, focusing on building confidence, clear communication, and lasting results. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine since I run my dog training business full-time. My days are structured around the dogs in my care, including scheduled training sessions, exercise, enrichment, and rest time. Each dog follows a consistent routine that’s tailored to their individual needs-this can include structured walks, obedience training, socialization (when appropriate), and downtime to ensure they’re not overstimulated. Because I work from home and on my property, I’m able to provide constant supervision and hands-on care throughout the day. On a weekly basis, I rotate between private training sessions, board-and-train dogs, and client visits, so I’m always actively working with dogs in a structured and intentional way. This setup allows me to give each dog consistent attention, routine, and progress while they’re in my care. Care varies depending on the service, but all pets receive structured, attentive, and individualized care. In my home, dogs follow a consistent daily routine that includes exercise, training, enrichment, and rest. Because of my background as a professional trainer, I incorporate structure and clear communication into everything I do—whether that’s reinforcing good manners, working on specific training goals, or simply maintaining a calm, balanced environment. Dogs have access to a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and are always supervised. Socialization is thoughtfully managed based on each dog’s temperament and comfort level. For board-and-train dogs, their stay includes daily hands-on training sessions tailored to their specific goals, along with structured routines that help build reliability and confidence. In clients’ homes, I aim to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible to reduce stress. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications if needed, and any household rules the dog is used to. I also reinforce any training the owner is working on to maintain consistency. Across all services, my priority is safety, clear communication, and making sure each dog feels secure, understood, and well cared for.
About: I've taken care of many pets of all ages, such as friends & families, & pets of my own. I know how to be their support companion. I'm available: All Sundays & Tuesdays all day, and in the afternoon to evenings Monday, Wednesday, Thursday Not available: Fridays and Saturdays. Mornings on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday I give my pets a lot of love & care. I let my puppy get his energy out. I remember to give my cat her snuggle time. I make sure both water bowls are always full & they have food (depending if it's feeding time or not). I'm always looking for throw up/hair balls & poop/pee to clean up.
“I am very glad we booked Tanaisa to check in on our cats while we were out of town. She was dependable, communicative, and attentive. You can tell she is an animal lover based in the feedback and photos she provided me with daily. We will absolutely book with her again next time we need help with our pets.”
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and cared for them from childhood so understanding feline behavior comes naturally to me. I’m very patient, attentive, and respectful of each cat’s unique personality, whether they’re social and playful or more shy and independent. Cats tend to warm up to me quickly because I approach them calmly and let them build trust at their own pace. I’m comfortable caring for cats with different temperaments and routines, including senior cats who may need extra patience, gentleness, or consistency. I pay close attention to details like eating habits, litter box changes, mood, and overall behavior so owners can feel confident their cat is happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.
About: I know how sensitive some kitties can be, especially away from their pawrents. I work in a small animal vet clinic and help cats everyday. I can administer medications by pilling,injection or if they have a special mixed up meal that they need to get it down! I also give extra attention with pats and playtime!
About: I have retail and construction and fast food experience and I love pets I love dogs they are so cute and would love to meet new pets Currently unemployed so I have plenty of free time to babysit pets dogs or other kinds of pets like fish, or cats or hamsters .

About: I treat every pet like my own! I adapt care to their individual needs and personality. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, senior, or has special needs, I have the patience and experience to keep them comfortable and happy. I am a college student looking to sit part-time outside of classes. Being away from home makes me miss the familiarity of having a companion around, and taking care of your babies is not only a job I will take seriously but also with lots passion and love! I treat your space with care and leave it exactly as I found it (or better!). I follow your pet's feeding schedule, walking times, playtime, and bedtime routine to keep them comfortable and calm. My main job is to keep your pets safe, happy, and stress-free!
“Megan thank you for being so attentive to our pets. The summary and pictures that you send after the visit is complete is so much appreciated. Your service is awesome and we hope we can have you come back a lot more in the future”
“Kelsey did a great job of looking after our two kitties. She came to meet us and the cats ahead of time and then did everything that we asked of her while we were gone. Thanks, Kelsey! I would recommend her highly.”
About: I don’t have any cats currently but I’ve had them in the past. The one in the picture was my latest one. She has since passed and haven’t ventured back into the cat world. Everyone is different on how they take care of them so just let me know your routine and I will be able to care for them!
About: Currently a part-time nurse looking to make a few extra bucks taking care of your fur babies. I am a dog mom, myself, and would love to drop in and take care of them or help them get their daily exercise!! Working part time and schedule can vary. If my calendar says I’m unavailable, please don’t hesitate to still reach out — I may be able to work out a time on that day with you. I try to be as flexible as I can 🐾😊 I can either drop in to check on and feed your pets, or I stay and give them some attention and time to get their energy out. I can also take them out on walks around the neighborhood! I love mixing it up with running/walking, as tolerated by the pups. I have more experience with dogs than cats, but I’m happy to stop in and check on them!🐱
About: I’ve had pets my entire life since I was a baby. I believe pets are a family member they should be loved and respected. I can assure I would take very good care of your furry friend! I like to go beyond expectations to take care of a pet. I’m very active so walks are always fun for me! I’ve volunteer in shelters and I’ve pet sit for family and friends too over the years. Thank you in advance for considering me in this important decision! Let me know if you have any questions for me, I would love to answer. Have a wonderful day! I’m a stay at home mom so I have all the love and time to care for a pet as my own through the day I have a fenced backyard and I like to go on walks and play with them. I am really aware of safety and triggers to keep the pet calm
About: Hi my name is Sheldan! I’m a mom to 2 boys (5yr old & 3yr old) who have a lot of energy! I’m a stay at home mom so we are home all day every day. I’ve always grown up with animals, dogs, cats, chickens, and even a hedgehog. I’m a huge animal lover, if I could rescue every animal in the shelter, trust me I would! I was on Rover for a little bit back in the summer months of 2019 and 2020-2021 then life got a little busy so I took a break. Both my kids grew up around our German Shepherd who passed in early 2024. We love to be outside and take our daily walks or bike rides when it’s not too hot out! I’m energetic, have a bubbly and fun personality and super easy going, hopefully you’ll get to see that! I’m a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty open and flexible! During the summer months we are very flexible and available. My home is currently baby proofed so we don’t have anything lying around that could be harmful to your pet. We do not have a fenced in yard.

“We are so lucky to have found Pamela! Great communication from beginning to end. She took amazing care of my Benny and was kind and patient with this new experience! 10/10 Great job! We will schedule with Pamela again soon!”
“I can tell that my dog enjoyed his day with Tanaisa and her dog Loki. He walked right into the gate when I dropped him off for his second day. He got plenty of walks and socialization. I will definitely book with her again, even though it’s a total of 40 minutes detour for me, it’s worth it because Tanaisa took great care of Dante.”
“As far as we can tell, Lyla had a wonderful time at Amanda's. She has since gone back twice more. I would recommend Amanda to others looking for a loving day care situation for their fur babies :) Debbie Amable Chunn”
“Angela is a wonderful dog sitter and clearly has such a love for animals. Grace loved doggy daycare and was so excited to come back each day. Angela's communication was great and she was really kind and flexible with unexpected schedule changes. I highly recommend her as a caring, reliable person providing excellent pet care.”
“Tashi is doing well! Looks forward to going to doggie daycare with Brianna. Today, he tried to sneak out to the car when I left! He loves being around the kids and other dogs. Thank you for taking great care of him!”
About: I’m a lifelong pet lover who has owned and cared for animals for many years. I’ve also had the joy of being a “pet grandpa,” helping care for family pets and spending lots of quality time with dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’m dependable, calm, and patient, and I truly enjoy getting outside for walks and staying active. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pet needs a walk, companionship, or attentive care while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I’m excited to spend time with animals and provide reliable, loving care you can feel good about. I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule.

I’m attentive, reliable, and focused on making sure pets feel safe and cared for at all times.
“I'm very new to the area and I needed someone to watch my 2 corgis with short notice. Jennifer responded fast and she was very flexible with my chaotic schedule. Excellent communication before, during, and after our reservation and my dogs were content and happy. I would recommend Jennifer and use in the future! Thank you!”

“Tina was fantastic with my 6 month old puppy, Luna. My dog is very shy and timid when meeting new people and in new environments. Tina was very understanding and knowledgeable on Luna’s temperament. Tina knew exactly what to do to make Luna feel more comfortable and relaxed. We will definitely use Tina again. Thank you Tina!”
“We had a last-minute opportunity to see our son-in-law perform at The Watershed Festival. We knew it would be a VERY long day and wanted our babies to have more than the occasional visit from our neighbor. Shell responded very quickly to our request. After a meet-greet, we all agreed that it was a good fit for everyone. Shell accommodated our need for a very early drop off and a very late pick up. Her home was quiet and welcoming, ensuring a smooth transition. She took very good care of our babies, even bending her rules a bit about no pets on the couch, so that our oldest one was comfortable and just out of reach of the other energetic pups. Thanks, Shell for helping us be proud parents of our "two-leggeds" by taking such good care of our "four-leggeds"!”
“Dana took great care of Drake. Drake was happy playing in her mini pool . Her communication was excellent, she sent photos and updates regularly. I will definitely use her service again and recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 20 years, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors who need extra love and patience. I have experience with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Over the years, I’ve helped with basic training, administering medications, and supporting pets with special needs. My approach is gentle, consistent, and reliable, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cuddles on the couch, I make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently a full-time student, but I keep my schedule flexible to make plenty of time for pet care. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays, with slightly less flexibility on Mondays. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or playtime, I truly enjoy caring for pets and always make time to give them the attention and love they deserve. I have a secure fenced yard and one friendly dog who love having new friends to play with. Pets in my care are always supervised, and I’m happy to crate your dog if needed for comfort or routine. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. Your fur baby will always be treated like part of the family in my home.
“Emily & Eric took great care of our pups while we were visiting from out of town for a family Christmas party. We appreciate them being so accommodating with the festivities ending a little later than expected. Our fur babies were obviously very comfortable in their home because they are so calm in their crates in the car at the moment. We will definitely leave our girls with Emily and Eric again when we are back in Vancouver!”

About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats ever since I was very little and I have always loved taking care of them. I live at home with my parents and I have lots of experience watching our two dogs and cat for weeks at a time while they are traveling. (Note: neither my parents, or pets will be anywhere near your pets, as they are going to be in a separate part of the house. The house also has a huge backyard, sitting on over an acre with tall fences. I also keep plenty of toys on hand so you can be sure your pets are getting the love and care they deserve. I currently work from home and have a very flexible. schedule all throughout the weekdays and weekends so your pets will be cared for during their entire stay. I also do not leave our own pets unattended for more than a couple hours so the same can be expected for yours as well. Pets can expect over an acre of enclosed backyard, so plenty of room to run around and play as needed. Bathroom breaks will be given at least once every 1.5 hours - 2 hours and will be supervised the entire time as is standard with our own pups. We also have a cat and two small dogs in the house, but they will be upstairs and away from your pets during the visit.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet sitter who understands that every dog has unique needs, energy levels, and routines, and I take that seriously. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs since my teens, with experience across small and large breeds, senior dogs, and pets who require medication. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with more complex needs, including epilepsy, and I prioritize calm, attentive handling to keep them safe and supported. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” dogs, I focus on structured, engaging care that helps them feel balanced and happy while you’re away, whether its walks tailored to their energy level, mental enrichment and engagement during visits, consistent routines to support behavior, or lots of affection and attention. I’m very active and love being outdoors, so I’m happy to include longer walks, hikes, or more engaging outings if that’s something your dog enjoys. Since I work a full time job from home, I have a flexible schedule and am willing and able to give your pet the attention it needs throughout the day. Routine comes easy for me, and my work schedule makes it easy to adapt to whatever you need for your pet. I can also send regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel completely at ease. I treat every pet like my own (I have 3 dogs!), with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. I’d love to connect and see if I'd be a good fit for you and your pet! **House Sitting Update:** Starting June 2026, I’m offering house sitting with daytime care rather than overnight stays. I’m happy to spend as much time as needed with your pets throughout the day, including extended visits and multiple days in a row. For stays lasting multiple days, I’ll typically head home around 9:30–10 PM and return around 7 AM the following morning. This allows me to provide plenty of quality time, attention, and care for your pets while still maintaining my overnight schedule at home. I’m happy to work with you to create a routine that keeps your pets comfortable and your home well cared for while you’re away!
About: I am 31 years old, pretty active. Dogs around me usually get what they want. I spoil them more than i spoil myself. They are family so I will treat them like family. I am a stay at home mom & I lam easy to get a hold of. If you want pictures everyday, i will provide you pictures everyday. I love hikes and going for walks. Let me know your needs and I will follow your rules. All I ask is that I meet you & your dog beforehand so we can make sure that your dog is okay with me & won’t think I’m a stranger just walking in the house. I am a huge animal lover! Can’t wait to meet you and the pup/pups! I have two dogs of my own that I adore! I’ve had them both since they were pups. They are my first kiddos. I take care of them daily. I follow all rules that are given to me. If they love all the pets then I will love them with all I got. If they love fetch, then I’ll throw the ball until they get tired.
About: I have 3 dogs ranging from 1-10 1/2 years of age. We have done the puppy stage three times so I’m used to that and willing to help. I know how stressful it can be if you need to go out of town and still have a puppy at home that needs a little more attention, let me help you with this! I’m not afraid of any dogs I just need to meet them first before agreeing to a job just so that we know it’ll be a good fit. I’m currently working full time 12 hr days. So I will not schedule myself when I’m working unless of course this works for you. I’m just looking to see if I can help some people while they travel or need someone to come and check on their pets while they are away. I currently live on 2.5 acres so having dogs come to my house will not be a good fit. We have 3 dogs and sometimes sit for family and friends and their dogs come over and we closely watch them while outside so they don’t venture off into the woods. Right now I’m just looking to see if I can help with checking in on pets or walking them or even possibly house sitting if need be. I know how important routine and familiarity is important so I would like to meet the pets with the owners before agreeing to a job and this way we can make sure the pets are comfortable with me and also we can go over dos and don’ts with your pets.
“I cannot recommend Tanaisa enough. She takes such great care of our labradoodle. He is high energy and loves lots of attention. She gives him exactly what he wants! Lots of exercise, treats, and love. It’s clear how much she loves and cares for animals. We are so impressed and happy with the care she provides for our boy! She goes above and beyond and we’re so grateful to her!”
About: I've cared for all kinds of animals since I was young for friends, family and neighbors. Trusting me to walk, feed and even bathe their pets. I'm a vet assistant with hands-on experience in small animals, but have experience with farm animals to! I am confident handling pets of all sizes, temperaments and needs, and always prioritize their safety and comfort. I currently work twice a week 10 hours day, the best days for me to help out would be Wednesday-Sunday. I sometimes work shorter days on Saturdays and could stop by after to feed/walk/exercise your pet. I love getting outside and love having doggy company to join me! I'm willing to stop by twice a day to feed/clean for kitties. And I can always hang out with your dog (or dogs) for the day if you just need someone to keep them company while you are busy! I practice "fear free handling" meaning I always take the gentlest approach to any situation. An example would be if your pet needs to be crated but doesn't enjoy it, I use treats and always leave enough time to slowly work them into it. If I am ever leaving the house for an hour or two I make sure your pets are set up! Freshly pottied, not hungry/thirsty, access to toys and treats (if allowed) and with jazz music for them! I know every pet is different and has their own special quirks and I am more than willing to accomodate for them. I am very careful and responsible with other peoples pets and property.
About: I had pets in the family my whole childhood. Love em all, Dogs, Cats either way. Happy to help with a weekly walk, a drop in visit, or house sitting for a long vacation. Whatever I can do to help you and your pets, let me know! I am currently in a bit of a life transition and I am working minimal hours for now, so I have a lot of free time. I would like to fill that extra time with something productive that helps me financially. I love animals, so being able to spend time with people's pets and benefit their lives as well, would be a wonderful way to do it. If you are leaving town and looking for someone who will show your pet the love they deserve and give them 100 percent of their attention, give me a call. At this point I am only available for doing walks, drop ins and mainly house sitting jobs. I am currently living with my family in Ridgefield WA, but I am trying to get into an apartment in the next few months. The pets that I have had in my life over the past 15 years or so were very loved. They were my family, my friends and were treated as such.
“Kelsey is fantastic! Kelsey has been walking our dog on a regular basis for the past four months. She is responsive and has even been willing to walk my dog at the last minute. She always sends cute pictures of my dog which puts a smile on my face while I am at work. She has watched our dog when we were out of town for four days. I highly recommend Kelsey and will continue to have her as a friend to our dog. ”
“Brie is incredible! We feel so grateful to have found her. She provides a very high level of care to our dog and is excellent about communicating important and cute details with us. Her level of work ethic, attention to detail, and emotional intelligence are beyond impressive. Brie is a rare type of person that emits joy, care, and compassion into everything she does. We are forever grateful to her for being so good with our little dude!”
About: I have had dogs for my entire life! I currently have 2 dogs. Both are Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Trinity is our senior girl 13 yrs old, and Shira who is 2. I have had the most experience with big dogs (mainly German Shepherds and now Rhodesian Ridgebacks). I have done Schutzhund with my shepherds and have done dog shows and obedience shows locally with my Ridgebacks. Our dogs and the ones I take care of are always my priority. I treat all dogs like they are mine so they get all the love, snuggles, and attention they want. I have a safe and secure home and yard. We have a 3/4 acre completely fenced back yard fenced to 6 feet high. We are in the country and have lots of bunnies for them to chase. We also have a creek on our property that in good weather would be fun for the dogs to play in. I have some agility equipment that I will break out when the weather is nice and let dogs go through those or show them how. For rainy days we have toys and dog puzzles to keep their minds active. We also have a shop that I can put up agility equipment when the weather is lousy and cold so they can chase each other around in there if they are getting antsy. I also do daily obedience with my own dog and any other dog that is with me and wants to join in. While most of my experience has been with big dogs, I will work with any style and breed of dog after I meet them and we get to know each other. I also have experience working with packs of dogs, as at one time, I had a large pack of both German Shepherds, and then Ridgebacks. I also have a lot of experience working with puppies and can help with basic training. I seem to have a knack to help dogs who normally don’t eat or are very nervous when being left with someone else. I have had many boarders who’s moms and dads said were picky eaters or wouldn’t eat for a couple of days and somehow with me they eat well, don’t miss meals, and many times expand their diets. If you have a dog that takes medication I can, and have, administered meds that their parents bring. But I will only administer prescription meds written by a licensed veterinarian to the specific dog with explicit instructions. Bottom line, I don’t just “board” dogs. They are part of the family and treated as such until you get back. They Are talked to, interacted with by my dogs and myself and my husband all day long. They aren’t just put in a room or left outside to fend for themselves. They are truly being loved and cared for from the minute they are dropped off until the minute you pick them up. My husband and I are retired so I am full time at home now. So I can board 7 days a week. And overnight care at my house will be my specialty as you never have to worry about your dog being left for hours during the day or night. I have a very “dog friendly” home. That being said my house is clean and fairly tidy. I clean daily to make sure the dogs are in the best environment. My goal is to have your dog go home with you better than when they came. If they are full of mud from playing outside in the rain they will be washed and dried before they go home. If their nails are too long I will cut them (if the dog allows). If they need to be brushed, I will brush them and often give them a massage…this is especially good for the nervous dogs. If they are scared and feel nervous they will be returned happy and calm from being pampered while you were away. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture including our bed and can play inside or outside with my dogs who are very friendly to other dogs and people. I don’t crate any of my dogs and don’t require dogs that stay with me to be crated during the day or night. If you prefer your dog to be crated at night I will follow your instructions if you bring the crate that they are used to. Many of the dogs that I board sleep in our bed but they also have very plush beds throughout our home that they can sleep on overnight or during the day for naps. Wherever they feel more comfortable sleeping is fine with me even if they don’t want to be in our room with us and our dogs.
About: I've taken care of many pets of all ages, such as friends & families, & pets of my own. I know how to be their support companion. I'm available: All Sundays & Tuesdays all day, and in the afternoon to evenings Monday, Wednesday, Thursday Not available: Fridays and Saturdays. Mornings on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday I give my pets a lot of love & care. I let my puppy get his energy out. I remember to give my cat her snuggle time. I make sure both water bowls are always full & they have food (depending if it's feeding time or not). I'm always looking for throw up/hair balls & poop/pee to clean up.
About: My family has had dogs my whole life, and I personally have owned a dog since the age of 8. I have also happily taken care of friends animals since the age of 10, and dog sat for for others since the age of 15. I’m currently a full time student who is working part time, so late afternoon and evenings are the best time for me to give attention to the dogs:) I am happy to provide some extra love and attention to animals based on their needs. Whether that be playing outside, going for a walk, or some good belly rubs.

About: Hi my name is Sheldan! I’m a mom to 2 boys (5yr old & 3yr old) who have a lot of energy! I’m a stay at home mom so we are home all day every day. I’ve always grown up with animals, dogs, cats, chickens, and even a hedgehog. I’m a huge animal lover, if I could rescue every animal in the shelter, trust me I would! I was on Rover for a little bit back in the summer months of 2019 and 2020-2021 then life got a little busy so I took a break. Both my kids grew up around our German Shepherd who passed in early 2024. We love to be outside and take our daily walks or bike rides when it’s not too hot out! I’m energetic, have a bubbly and fun personality and super easy going, hopefully you’ll get to see that! I’m a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty open and flexible! During the summer months we are very flexible and available. My home is currently baby proofed so we don’t have anything lying around that could be harmful to your pet. We do not have a fenced in yard.

“Araceli & her husband were amazing!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ They took care of our Sullivan for 2 weeks while we were on our honeymoon, and their updates, messages, and pictures reflected their commitment to ensuring that our baby felt safe and comfortable. When Sully had a bit of an allergy flareup on his nose, they were quick to notify me and give him some ointment. It truly seemed that they cared for our pup as they would their own. I HIGHLY recommend them if you are looking for a sitter. 💜 They are truly lovely!!”
