“I can’t say enough great things about Candi and the care she took with our two dogs. I’ve never felt so comfortable with “boarding” my dogs while I was gone for a long trip. I knew they were being treated like part of her family. She sent videos and pictures to keep me updated. My big dog ended up having some stomach issues and Candi didn’t skip a beat. We called my vet and she picked up some meds and got her back on track. Her four dogs were great with mine - they had such a blast. Not sure who enjoyed the vacation more, me or the dogs. She also has a beautiful acreage for them to run around and get fresh air. Wish I would have found her earlier! Thank you Candi!”

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and more! I love all animals and will treat them with love and all the snuggles. I can administer inhalers for animals, and other medications. My dog and cat are very sweet and love having other animals visit. I look forward to meeting your pets! I currently work from home, and can care for your pets with the flexibility they require. I love going for walks and spending time outdoors. I have a large yard, and many rooms to keep your pets feeling safe and comfortable. My dog and cat are both friendly and enjoy when other animals come to visit.

“Rachel was a great sitter and I will definitely be re-booking with her! Rachel boarded our Goldendoodle, Bohdi, for 8 nights - she was very accommodating, responsive, and sent photos/updates daily! She took him on daily walks or to the dog park, had a lot of play and snuggle time, and cared for him like he was part of the family! Our flight home was delayed and she was very flexible with adjusting the pick up time. Bohdi was well loved and taken care of! I can’t thank Rachel enough - she definitely made being away for a long trip much easier!”

About: I have taken care of cats for around 5 years, and am very reliable. I know all the good scratch areas as well as how to give them the love and care they need to develop trust.

About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 16 years and have experience with kittens, adults, seniors, and multi-cat households. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication administration, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. I treat every cat as if they were my own and provide dependable, compassionate care while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout their time away.

“Karen was a great fit for our goldendoodle, Bo. He got lots of play time and loved playing with her dogs. She sent us pictures of his day as well. We are so happy to have found her and so is Bo!”

About: I genuine care and give attention to every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with puppies who are still learning routines, including basic training and potty schedules, and I’m also gentle and mindful with senior dogs who may need slower walks, medication reminders, or extra comfort. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. I currently work only 2 days out of the week, but my schedule is very flexible, and can switch days if need be! Will accommodate I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable and follow the routine they’re used to. In a client’s home, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention so pets feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home tidy and make sure pets stay on their normal schedule. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean environment with supervised play, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of affection. I always pay close attention to each pet’s needs, personality, and any special instructions from the owner to make sure they feel happy and cared for.

About: I’ve been a proud dog owner for over 15 years, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pups. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve volunteered at local animal shelters, where I helped walk, feed, and socialize dogs from all backgrounds. I'm comfortable with a variety of breeds and activity levels, and I always tailor my approach to each dog’s individual needs, whether it’s a long walk for an active dog, playtime and enrichment for a curious pup, or calm companionship for an older one. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, safe, and loved. I don't have much experience with cats but am eager to learn and help any cat parent that needs it. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to check on or walk pets during the day or anytime during the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m walking your dog, visiting for a drop in, or staying in your home, I make sure each pet feels relaxed, secure, and loved. During walks, I always use secure leashes, avoid unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on your dog’s behavior and surroundings. For drop in visits, I follow your routine for feeding, playtime, and potty breaks to keep things consistent and stress free. When staying in your home, I treat your space with respect and keep everything clean and tidy while maintaining your pet’s usual schedule.

“Clayton did a great job with Ozzy! Ozzy can be a real handful on his walks, but Clayton did a great job. I really appreciated the pictures from the walks and the report card. I would recommend Clayton to anyone who wanted any of the services you provide for dogs. I will definitely be using Clayton services in the future.”

About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I was little, between dogs, cats, reptiles, and even farm animals such as dairy cows, pigs, goats, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I have open availability so I can take pets anytime and any day. I can do both cats and dogs as I have experience in both and experience in different energy levels I have a fence for my pets, we play with toys, and we go on walks (depending on the weather). My dog will sleep where she is most comfortable and she always goes to the bathroom on time.
