Personalized care for your dog or cat - Tekoa
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Tekoa
About: I’m from the Seattle area and I’ve been with Rover since 2018. In 2020 I got married to Micaiah my husband. When we married we added an additional cat to the family that belonged to him. So we have 4 cats. Before Rover I volunteered at PetsMart with Purrfect pals. One day a week I would help with cleaning, playing, and as a team member I helped cats find a furrrever home. My first cat in my life was when I was 8. I have always enjoyed pets and nature. So I decided to combine walking and dogs. Walks in the park or just around the block. I’m looking to be your new regular dog walker. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pets!! I’m also a very detail and observant person so walks, sittings, and daycare services would also have a description of how your pet is doing. I chart any different behavior or eating habits along with health concerns. Updates with photos would be a priority. I'd also ask for the dog's vet info and emergency contacts. Have a paw-some day! My schedule is flexible. I usually find clients prefer weekday schedule M-F routine for walks. This is my full time job! My time is your time! I’m very safety cautious. I will keep updates and photos on the pet regularly during the day. I also request the pet’s medical information and their vet clinic. I’m pretty flexiable with scheduling. I try my best to fit in the schedule my clients want for their pets. Only days I need off for two hours are Sunday and Thursday. For security and safety I please ask for NO GUNS OR SUBSTANCES in house. I want to feel safe in the environment same goes for your pets. Thanks! I’m making this a full time job. M-F. I’m flexible with the scheduling. I’m open to picking up and dropping off clients dogs. Dogs will have one of us home with them. I have a fenced yard and five cats. I rescued two which are a mom and her kitten. My three cats are fun to spend my day with as well. I have a senior cat that needs daily meds and I try all I can to keep them happy and healthy.
“Our dog, Roscoe, had a great stay with Crystal and Michael! Crystal was very communicative and sent photos and videos. I was particularly encouraged because Roscoe has tended to have stress colitis when boarded which caused diarrhea. His stomach was FINE with Crystal which tells me he wasn’t stressed and he seemed genuinely happy. I will definitely book with them in the future.”
“Elena was great! We could definitely tell that our puppy was happy with her and honestly he probably didn’t want to leave! She sent plenty of photos and videos while we were away and always kept us updated on how he was doing. We will definitely be using Elena again!”
“Mikayla was great! She kept me updated with photos of my dogs during their stay with her and let me know if there were any issues or concerns. She did great with my senior dog who has a lot of trauma in her past and problem solved any issues together. I would definitely recommend Mikayla!”
About: Hi, I’m Brian! I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had dogs and cats around the house, and it’s a tradition I’ve proudly continued into adulthood. Sadly, both of my beloved pugs passed away over the last few years. Right now, it's just me and my cat, Vader, so I would absolutely love to welcome a canine (or another feline) presence back into my home! I work at WSU and live a quiet, peaceful life here in Colfax. Because my home is a kid-free environment and I spend a lot of my time here, your pet will get plenty of focused attention, companionship, and love. I understand how hard it is to leave your pets, so I am committed to treating yours like family - providing a safe, comfortable, and fun home away from home. I’d love to chat and see if I’m the perfect fit for your pet! I work at WSU so it's a short commute each day, allowing me to spend more time at home. My weekday evenings are pretty quiet. I sometimes go out on the weekends but would be quite happy staying home if there is pet-sitting to do. I have a large fenced yard. I have a large linoleum dining and kitchen area that can easily be blocked off where messes are easy to clean up. I'm totally fine sharing my bed and furniture with a pet. It's a quiet, kid-free house well suited for even the most nervous dogs.
“Kate took such wonderful care of our new puppy! She sent us pictures while we were gone and it was so fun to see what he was up to while we were gone. He had a great time and didn’t want to come home!”
“First time using Macie as a dog sitter for Big Z. I really couldn't recommend her enough. First visit it was obvious that she was a Dog person. Their home is very much "Pet centered". Daily pictures of him hanging out with his new buddies. When I picked him up he was happy and healthy. What more could I ask for.”
“Jessica did a great job watching our 12 month old pup for us !! He’s a sweet boy with lots of energy. She reassured us right away that she would make sure everything would be fine & has a great fenced back yard. Chai had a great time playing with her pup. Jessica kept us updated with regular cute photos and videos ! Will definitely be back :)”

“Kendall is awesome! First time she sat for a Sophie was extremely last minute. She was very accommodating to have a quick meet and greet and offered to scoop soph up later that day. Sophie loves staying with her and her fam. I always know Soph will get her walks and loving when Kendall watches over her. Great with updates and Sophie is so cute in her homemade bandanas. Highly recommend!”

“Jony (and family) was absolutely amazing. She accommodated to my last minute needs along with Ryder’s schedule so easily and willing. Ryder came home one happy puppy.

“Jessica was fantastic. My prior cat acomidations where traumatic for me and my kitty and she responded instantly and it completely deflated a bad situation into a really good visit. She never made me feel batty for checking in and was available and empathetic to our situation. I left a scared upset cat and came back to him happy, healthy and handsome as ever.”

“Halinah was easy to work with from the get go. Quick communication and excellent follow up. She asked a lot of questions to ensure proper care of our pets. Was on time, sent pictures and was very caring. Will absolutely hire again.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for 10years and have cared for many different dogs breeds from young to senior. I was raised around many types of animals including horses, dogs, cats. My love for animals shows in my ability to be patient and assess their individual needs. Your animal will be well taken care of and have you feeling worry free. In my home I feed animals 2 times a day at 8am and 8pm. I take dogs out to go to the bathroom at 7:30am, 11:30am, 3:00pm, 6:00pm and lastly at 9:00pm. If your animals needs to go out after that I will do so. I have an unfenced yard but use a staked leash in the ground. I also can take them out on your leash if your more comfortable with that, but if your dog is a jumper (needing a 6ft fence) he/ she will be leashed walked for potty time and can walk them for a good period of time. Everyday at the best weathered part of the day or around noon I will be taking your fur-baby out for at least an hour walk or go to the dog park/ run if allowed during longer stays (more than 2 days). For the animals that I will be taking care of at their home I will feed them on the schedule that you have for them already and as close to those times as possible. I will take them on a 30 min walk at least once a day and give take them out to go to the bathroom once in the morning and once in the evening. If you let me know what needs to be done and it will be done as close to the times as possible Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has any special needs or allergies i.e. seasonal and/or food so I can take the appropriate measures to insure he/she has a wonderful time within those limits. I also request that you let me know of any behavioral needs that he/she has ahead of time. for example if they get along with other dogs and animals, or pull on there leash ( mainly for bigger dogs) etc.
“Lori was awesome! Edgar and I are so happy we found her! She has a great animal connection that is obvious the first time you meet her. I felt very comfortable knowing Edgar was in good hands! We will definitely use her again.”
“Leah didn’t excellent job taking care of our cats! She was very flexible, communicative, and gave us frequent updates. Our kitties were well taken care of and we would definitely hire her again!”
“Ashton and Shelby are responsible, caring and conscientious. They are great at communicating, and showed flexibility when I had a need for an extra visit. Knowing that they were truly caring for my animals helped me have the peace of mind needed to relax and enjoy my trip. I highly recommend them and will not hesitate to hire them again. My cats, rabbits, fish and plants were all well-looked after and I really enjoyed all the photos and updates!”

About: I’ve had dogs in the house since I was 6 and I’ve always loved them! I have done pet sitting before and am excited to see how I can help you and your pet!

“Esiah is the best! Great communicator, incredibly kind, and willing to work with me when weather impacted my travel. I know who to contact if my little cat needs a good caretaker while I'm away again. :)”
About: I carry a business insurance policy for petcare. My first job was a at a doggy daycare/ boarding facility but I have been pet sitting since I was 12. I’ve worked with puppies all the way through seniors receiving cancer treatment. I have a playful golden retriever who adores all animals big and small. I have experience bathing and giving insulin to cats too. I volunteered at a rescue ranch for a number of years and have experience with livestock. I personally have ducks, chickens, reptiles and a senior cat as companions for my golden. I am currently working 3 days a week for a tax office and am unavailable from January to April. On my off days I hike and take my golden to the river. I have a contract that I have been using since 2010 that outlines my safety procedures. When I am in a clients home I always have them review it and do a walk around of the home with them. From my years at doggy daycare I am pretty familiar with certain breed characteristics like the awesome heights husky’s can jump or the tunneling ability of a weenie. I also am very understanding about separation anxiety as someone who has worked at rescues. For walks I require a harness or collar the dog cannot slip out of. I require an in person meeting beforehand, if doggy play dates with my dog are requested we must meet on neutral ground first to see how they interact.
About: I have been responsible for many different kinds of pets from a very young age. I have looked after senior pets as well as new born animals and am looking for to caring for yours! I am currently able to accommodate all schedules and am willing to work with anything that might arise with open communication so don’t be afraid to reach out! In my home my two cats have their own room with toys and other things to climb and play on. I also have a very large fenced in lawn as well as a walkable neighborhood.
“Jillian helped us out with staying overnight for 9-ish days, to hang and care for our cat. She exceeded our expectations of what a cat sitter should be and made everything easy! She has great communication, she followed our probably annoyingly detailed directions, she she is very clean, she is nice, and most importantly we could sense that she really cared about our cat. Our cat does not warm up to everyone but Jillian seemed to have little problem making friends with him. :) Jillian helped us to enjoy our trip more than normal because we just knew we had nothing to worry about with our cat’s health and happiness while we were away. And gosh it’s priceless to return from a long trip to find a house just as clean as we left it (if not cleaner). I would recommend Jillian to anyone looking for a pet sitter, for overnights or for drop-ins. We will definitely be hiring her again.”
“Ellen was just great! Her contact with us put us at ease. Her attention to the details of our pets medicine and needs was very reassuring. I would 100% recommend her and will use her again.”
About: I got my first pet, a hamster, when i was six! I followed up with a Guinea pig. When i turned 11, i got my first cat Patience. All of these pets i fully cared for, and did chores in order to pay for supplies. This is what fueled my love for pets! When i turned 15, i got my first dog. Sadly he passed away from illness, but it was a lesson learned on how to care for special needs dogs. My cat Patience died when i was 20 at the age of 9. That sparked me to get a dog not long after (since my cat never got along with the dog i had, i felt it best to give her a single pet home). Ive spent the last two years training Rollo and learning everything i can about making his time here special! He’s made my love for animals deepen, causing me to want to get further involved in animals as a part of my every day life! I hope to one day become a dog trainer, and specialize in obedient house pets! Im currently working a day job, but have too much time on my hands! I am available weekdays after 4, and all day long on weekends! I care for all animals like they are my own. Pets live shorter lives than us, so its my goal to make their lives the best they can be! I love going on walks with my dog, and playing fetch at the dog park! I always make sure my clients pet gets along well with mine if i plan on having him tag along! Its a great way to socialize the pets, and it gives them something to look forward to!

I’ll do my best to keep your pet happy and comfortable, and stick to your pets routines i.e. walks, play time, feeding time etc. (I sometimes board more than one dog at a time but only with your express permission of both owners)
About: Dogs seem to love me because I love them. We have a lot of fun! I make them feel valued and important. I give them lots of attention and love. Because I'm fair and big on respect, they feel safe loved calm and happy. They really thrive on that Dogs really need to get out run and play. I take them early in the morning and then at dusk. This is important for their mental as well as physical well being. It's the best part of my day. Also I have calm uplifting music playing during the day which aides to a calm relaxed atmosphere and they seem to really enjoy it. I have two dogs that compete and play frisbee and I can teach your dog too. I also like good nutritious treats and make my own. Dogs are God's wonderful complement to mankind. I love them!!!
“I had an exceptional experience with Amanda and Justin. My wife and I were visiting Spokane for three days during a heatwave, and needed daycare for Casey. They did a terrific job, especially introducing Casey to their larger dogs and communicating via text and the Rover app. We felt completely comfortable leaving Casey in their very capable hands.”
“Patricia is a dogs best friend and she honestly cares for them as if they are her very own. We hired her for 5 days and she was as more than amazing, and exceeded anything we could imagine. Seriously worth every dollar and honestly worth her weight in gold. So good at communicating and went above and beyond always seeing our dogs were taken real good care of. I mean it when I say we already miss her and wish she was a neighbor. I feel as if not only my 10yr old and 2yr old dogs have a friend, but that we have become friends too and I look forward to the next time we get to see her. Best sitter we could ever have found. We will see her again. If you are looking for quality Patricia is the one. I have never met such an amazing full of energy conscious individual. Look no further.”

“Stitch had a great time with Jony and she remained flexible and available with my work schedule. Stitch got lots of attention and exercise. Will definitely book Jony again in the future.”
“Genevieve was a lifesaver and took Maeve in for a last minute doggie daycare request. She allowed us to see where Maeve would be hanging out and meet her other dogs. We got updates on how it was going and Maeve looked so happy! They took her on a hike & let her play in the water. Their home, with a large yard and doggie door, was the perfect fit for Maeve. And she was wiped out when she got home. We are so happy we found Genevieve!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years. I’ve walked multiple dogs at once and have cared for up to 4 at a time. I understand each dog has different needs and will give them their individual care. I can follow specific dietary and walking needs. I have experience with anxious, aggressive and even very stubborn animals. I have walked every size animal and am able to walk the lazy and the strong. Safety is my number one priority and I always make sure they are secured before leaving the house. I enjoy boarding dogs the most because I get to spend more time bonding, playing, and walking with them. When your dog stays at my house they are treated like family. Boarding times are 24 hours. Additional fees may apply for longer stays. My world revolves around my dog. We wake up and go for a walk, then it is breakfast and play time. I will do some work at home during the day while doggy sleeps and plays. Anytime they want to go out they can and it is supervised. We end the day with another walk. I have an unfenced yard with access to some wooded areas. Dogs are always supervised outside since we have a pool and they can get creative. Inside, all doors are shut and anything chewable is put away. We want your pet to feel comfortable so all animals are allowed on furniture. I am currently working remotely at home. During the week one of us will be home during the day. We always kennel dogs when we leave the house and do not stay away for more than 4 hours. If dogs are responsible they can be left to roam the house :) Pets are cared for per clients request. When at my house safety is the priority. We always leave the house with leashes and keep the counters clear.

We have 2 beautiful and well behaved dogs, Nala and Missy. They mean the world to me! Both very full of personality and love to play with other pups! We wanted to join this site, not only for the benefits, but because of recent negative experiences with boarding kennels. We wanted to make sure your pets would be somewhere safe where they would be loved and cared for, as well as paid attention to. We live in a house on a third of an acre lot. The yard is fully fenced with tall trees that shade it in the summer. My fiancé and I have been pet owners for years. We've cared for our pets, as well as friends' pets, with excellent attention to detail. We have experience with all sizes and many breeds. We are pretty active with our pups: hiking, fetch, tug of war, chase, "wrestling," swimming, etc. Let us care for your pets and find that they will be treated with the utmost love! Note on boarding stays: Please pick up pet by 2pm. After 2pm, we may charge partial rate to accommodate for extra time (usually half day rate). Thank you!

I have so much compassion for animals, and I’m committed to providing them with the care, attention, and love they deserve. I am a part-time massage therapist and a full time mom to 2 teenagers. Our entire family is involved in the care of our pets. I have a lot of availability during the week to walk animals and manage their needs as well as give them attention and love. I have a fenced back yard with plenty of room to play. I have a 5 year old silver lab who loves to play and love on other animals. I have the availability to crate your animal as well if needed.

I’m available mornings, daytime, and evenings for dog walks and cat or pet check-ins. With my kids in school, I have plenty of flexible time to give pets the attention they deserve. I’m also available for some weekends and the occasional overnight when needed. I provide check-ins and walking services in your home, keeping your pet comfortable in their own space and routine. I’m also open to occasional overnight stays at my home once I’ve gotten to know your pet and made sure they’re a good match with my gentle boxer, Molly. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved—just like family.

I also have done a fair amount of pet massages for dogs and cats (not lizards, though!!) I have an online business, so I usually housesit and work part-time online. This makes it very easy for me to be in a home with pets who need more attention, or dogs that need walked often. I have done all levels of pet care-from simple one hour drop-in visits for cats to feeding and cleaning up for horses and cows (extra fee for that!!) So, I am very versatile with my clients! I also find that I bond easily with pets, and can often connect to shy or nervous cats and dogs by being present, calm and talking to them.

About: I have been responsible for many different kinds of pets from a very young age. I have looked after senior pets as well as new born animals and am looking for to caring for yours! I am currently able to accommodate all schedules and am willing to work with anything that might arise with open communication so don’t be afraid to reach out! In my home my two cats have their own room with toys and other things to climb and play on. I also have a very large fenced in lawn as well as a walkable neighborhood.
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve been volunteering, fostering, & working professionally with dogs, reptiles, & other animals for 10+ years. I've yet to meet a pup that I haven't loved, and vice versa. I have a high energy dog of my own, and I have previously worked at a doggy daycare & a grooming salon, so I have tons of hands-on experience with every dog breed and temperament you can imagine. My time at the doggy daycare gave me insight into animal body language, so I feel very comfortable handling multiple pups at a time as well as anxious dogs or ones that require some extra care. Animals generally seem to be much more at ease in the comfort of their own homes, so my main service is in home sitting or drop-in visits. I am also comfortable handling caged animals & reptiles. I have worked in a pet store & taken care of everything from fish and hamsters to birds & snakes. I also have two snakes & a lizard of my own. I am happy to travel to housesit, so feel free to send a request no matter how far you may be. I am also a photographer & am happy to include a photo package in your sit if that’s something that would interest you! I recently quit my job to spend two months volunteering at a wildlife sanctuary in South America, so I currently have all the time in the world for your pets, & I couldn’t imagine a better way to spend this period of free time than with animals. I do my best to emulate your pet’s usual schedule in your home. If I need to leave for any period of time & can’t take your pup with me, I’d leave them however you normally do. My goal is to cause as little stress as possible so I do my best to stick to the routines they are already used to.
About: I carry a business insurance policy for petcare. My first job was a at a doggy daycare/ boarding facility but I have been pet sitting since I was 12. I’ve worked with puppies all the way through seniors receiving cancer treatment. I have a playful golden retriever who adores all animals big and small. I have experience bathing and giving insulin to cats too. I volunteered at a rescue ranch for a number of years and have experience with livestock. I personally have ducks, chickens, reptiles and a senior cat as companions for my golden. I am currently working 3 days a week for a tax office and am unavailable from January to April. On my off days I hike and take my golden to the river. I have a contract that I have been using since 2010 that outlines my safety procedures. When I am in a clients home I always have them review it and do a walk around of the home with them. From my years at doggy daycare I am pretty familiar with certain breed characteristics like the awesome heights husky’s can jump or the tunneling ability of a weenie. I also am very understanding about separation anxiety as someone who has worked at rescues. For walks I require a harness or collar the dog cannot slip out of. I require an in person meeting beforehand, if doggy play dates with my dog are requested we must meet on neutral ground first to see how they interact.
About: I am very compassionate with dogs and cats love all animals big or small please be assured I'll love your pet just like it is my own I have always had a compassion for animals and dogs especially I have one of my own that is pitbull boxer dachshund and Chihuahua very good dog named sprocket him and my children are the love of my life so I hope you guys can give me a try and see you that your pet will be in great hands I am very flexible as well I can even do special times if you guys are needed I am yours you let me know what fits best for you and I can work with anyone schedule I've had several dogs and cats I have a love and compassion for animals.

“Mango was great with my dogs, very calm and competent and they were immediately comfortable around her! I really appreciated how respectful she was of how I wanted my dogs to behave, and I was so happy to find someone I could feel confident would take good care of them on walks. You can tell how much she loves dogs, and I enjoyed visiting with her during the meet and greet :)”

About: I have over 5 years of experience taking care of all sorts and sizes of dogs, as well as cats. I always make sure the animals I take care of have the best possible environment to ensure a happy and healthy result. :) I’m currently planning on doing this full time until I find a new part-time job. I will continue to do petsitting on the side regardless. It’s my passion so it is my priority. :) I will make sure your dog is safe in your home, since I only offer in clients home sitting. They will be well cared for and I will make sure they are looked out for and content. I want your dogs to be as happy as they can be!
About: I'm quite versatile and can adapt to stressful situations easily, should they arise. I have experience raising my own pets, helping raise others, and training pets. I can provide care for pets of any size, species, and age. I administer medications, provide ample playtime and exercise, and most importantly, snuggle to the heart's content (so long as your pet tolerates it). I've sat in the past for birds, lizards, dogs, cats, and fish, and I'll love your animals nearly as much as you do! I'm quite passionate about keeping spaces clean and comfortable for the pets as well, as I am quite organized and know that nobody wants to work with a disorganized sitter. Pet sitting is my full-time occupation as of right now, so I can be there for your pets whenever they need it. I do have a busy schedule, but I will always ensure that your animals come first and I can be with them as often as they need it. I always ensure that pets are treated as well as the humans in the household. I like to sleep and snuggle with pets, take them where I go as much as is permitted, and play with them outside as often as possible. I am not quick to force animals to spend time with me, I always let them have the choice to approach me first, but if they adjust quickly and enjoy my company, I really lay on the love.
About: Hi, my name is Carly. I myself am a dog mom and I understand how important it is to make sure your loved ones are in good care. I love taking care of animals. They are always part to the family. Growing up I have taken care of many animals for as long as I can remember. I work my schedule around the pet's schedule. Whether it's a quick little walk or long hours of play time. Every pet has their own needs that need to be met in a scheduled time. I personally love to give them my undivided attention. Playing fetch and dog games with them helps build a bond and trust. My dogs love to play fetch and go for walks, so I always set time aside for take them outside for a couple hours to play and go for a walk.
About: I've provided pet care for clients, friends and family my whole life. I love adventuring with my dogs ie walks, hikes, going to the beach. I use positive training and discipline techniques. I've taken dog training classes. I've cared for dogs of all ages and breeds. I love adding to my pack! I've a lot of availability! I have summers off and am often out enjoying the outdoors with my dog. I'd love to add to my pack! I have a large yard (unfenced). I keep new dogs on leash when outside. Lots of supervision and engagement. I do enjoy off leash play, but on case by case basis.

“Our dog, Roscoe, had a great stay with Crystal and Michael! Crystal was very communicative and sent photos and videos. I was particularly encouraged because Roscoe has tended to have stress colitis when boarded which caused diarrhea. His stomach was FINE with Crystal which tells me he wasn’t stressed and he seemed genuinely happy. I will definitely book with them in the future.”
“Elena was great! We could definitely tell that our puppy was happy with her and honestly he probably didn’t want to leave! She sent plenty of photos and videos while we were away and always kept us updated on how he was doing. We will definitely be using Elena again!”
“Mikayla was great! She kept me updated with photos of my dogs during their stay with her and let me know if there were any issues or concerns. She did great with my senior dog who has a lot of trauma in her past and problem solved any issues together. I would definitely recommend Mikayla!”
“Kate took such wonderful care of our new puppy! She sent us pictures while we were gone and it was so fun to see what he was up to while we were gone. He had a great time and didn’t want to come home!”
“First time using Macie as a dog sitter for Big Z. I really couldn't recommend her enough. First visit it was obvious that she was a Dog person. Their home is very much "Pet centered". Daily pictures of him hanging out with his new buddies. When I picked him up he was happy and healthy. What more could I ask for.”

“Kendall is awesome! First time she sat for a Sophie was extremely last minute. She was very accommodating to have a quick meet and greet and offered to scoop soph up later that day. Sophie loves staying with her and her fam. I always know Soph will get her walks and loving when Kendall watches over her. Great with updates and Sophie is so cute in her homemade bandanas. Highly recommend!”
“Justin and Amanda are awesome! They took such good care of Milton while I was moving. He had a great time playing with Gatsby and Scout in their wonderful fenced in back yard. I definitely will use their services again! Thank you Justin and Amanda!”
“Sophia was amazing! She asked a lot of questions and took plenty of notes to make sure my dogs could maintain as much of their home life as possible. She sent photos and feedback daily. She made my girls feel right at home in her home. She gave them all the cuddles and snuggles. She was very flexible about drop off and pick up.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with a stranger and I felt confident that Mariya would be able to take great care of him. She sent pictures and videos and it looked like he had a good time. She also updated me about how he was settling in, which I appreciated. She also accommodated my late flight in which was above and beyond! I would definitely use her again.”
“Sent a lot of great pictures. Communicated back to me quickly. Was very active with my dog and took her swimming, on hikes, to the park, etc. 10/10. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you!”
About: I have been providing animal care for ten years, mostly with dogs and cats. I am comfortable with all dog breeds and I am genuinely interested in getting to know your pet. I have my own golden retriever, Bentley) who I have raised from a puppy (he is now 6). I am reliable, kind, and relaxed. An important note: when I board dogs I stay at my parents house as they are the ones with a big back yard. In addition to my dog being there, there is their golden (6 years) and a chihuahua mix (11 months). Thank you for reading! I have completely open availability! I am hoping to fill my days with pet care. When I’m not working with animals, I am an elementary school teacher turned substitute. We have a large, fenced yard with plenty of space to run around. There are three others dogs in my home, two golden retrievers (6yrs) and one chihuahua mix (10 months). They all get along well with cats and other dogs, and are overall very easy going.
