Personalized care for your dog or cat - La Farge

“We had an excellent experience with Shelby. She took wonderful care of our puppy and kept us updated with regular pictures. Shelby was also very understanding when our return trip was delayed by a few hours, and we couldn't pick up at the planned time. We are thrilled to have found Shelby and highly recommend her services.”

Kelli R.

“Would bring our dog again if we come this way! He never tires out but he had so much room to run and play in their yard he was tuckered out! Thank you!”

About: I have a background in both education and dog training, so I focus heavily on structure, communication, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I have experience working with dogs of all ages, energy levels, and personalities, including puppies, high-energy breeds, and dogs that benefit from extra patience or routine. I’m CPR certified, experienced with enrichment-based care, and comfortable reinforcing basic training skills such as leash manners, recall, sit/down, place, and calm behavior during visits and walks. I also have experience with hunting and working breeds, so I understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation. What sets me apart most is that I genuinely enjoy building trust and relationships with the dogs I care for. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure each dog feels comfortable, engaged, and well cared for while you’re away. I also provide reliable communication and updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I intentionally keep openings in my schedule for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and individualized care. I currently have availability most mornings, a few evenings, and select weekends which allows me to provide consistent attention and flexible scheduling for clients. Because I prioritize quality care and reliability, I carefully manage my schedule to make sure each pet receives plenty of time, attention, exercise, and communication while in my care. believe every dog is different, so I focus heavily on each pet’s individual needs, personality, comfort level, and routine. Some dogs need lots of exercise and enrichment, while others need a calmer environment, patience, or extra reassurance while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home or my own, I take time to learn their feeding schedule, potty routine, energy level, favorite activities, training expectations, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and secure. I adjust my care style based on the individual dog rather than taking a “one size fits all” approach. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, understood, and cared for while maintaining as much consistency and routine as possible.

“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!”

“What a great experience! Lauren communicates well and shred lots of pictures. Buddy got along with her dogs. Best of all Buddy felt comfortable enough to eat. Highly recommend Lauren.”

“Janelle and family were wonderful! I so appreciate them taking our pups on such short notice, and they made Rico and Sal feel like part of family from the start, and took them on walks🥰 We will absolutely be asking them to take care of our pups again!!”

And extremely flexible on drop off and pick up times We can take dogs in the early morning and late night pick up if need be. Extremely flexible and will be willing to try to meet your needs.

About: I’ve been taking care of cats, dogs, farm animals (chickens, goats), fish, and exotic animals since I was 18. There’s no animal too big or too small!

I am a soon to be stay-at-home momma who will have lots of available time to watch/play with/or walk your furry friends! I currently have a dog and a cat of my own but they are very friendly and loving with all animals big or small. I would love to board your animals in my home! But, they must be friendly with both dogs and cats as I have one of each who are very sweet and get along with everyone! All supplies will need to be dropped off with your furry friend as well as I don’t have extra kennels (if your pup uses one) or extra supplies.

Duties included nail clipping, oral and subcutaneous medication administration, socializing, feeding, and cleaning.

“Our little 15-year-old cat has had quite a few care givers in her lifetime and Jaimie is the best of the best. She’s friendly, conscientious, caring, and so, so good with animals (and people 🙂). There’s nothing like leaving town and knowing for certain your little friend is in kind, competent hands! 😻❤️”

About: I have been in the animal field doing extended stay pet sitting in private homes since 2011. I have the following experience: dog bather and groomer shelter caretaker for cats dog daycare facilitator on-the-scene solo animal rescuer TNR trapper I have served on multiple continents & I have handled hundreds and hundreds of dogs. I grew up raising cats and kittens from birth, and have raised a mid-sized dog from 4 weeks old. I am comfortable with caring for some farm animals also. Let's talk about your needs. Your pets' and family's special needs are my priority while I'm serving you. I am comfortable with administering subcutaneous medicine and handling elderly and frail animals. If your pet is prescribed insulin, I will send you a photo of the dosage in the syringe so you know that your pet is receiving its proper dose. On some days of the week I have other scheduled work in other towns. Please reach out and let's see how our schedules line up. Whatever safety measures you use is what I will use when with your pets. Leashes, doors, and other safety measures are always by your prescription. I will not allow other people into your home without your consent.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I’ve watched for family, family friends, and neighbours. I’ve always loved animals, and getting to work with them is like a dream! I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I’m also more than willing to get my hands dirty! Puppies can I have accidents, but it’s not a problem! They like to play in the mud, guess that means bath time! I also have experience giving dogs medication. My own dogs take medication daily and I’ve done it while sitting before! I’m currently working part time but I am in the market for a new job so any days and times work. My personal schedule is very flexible! If you have a fenced in yard your fur babies will be let out every two hours (supervised of course:) )No fenced in yard? No problem. They will still be taken out every two hours on a leash. I am also more than happy to bring your fur babies on walks throughout the day, just as long as the weather is suitable for them! Between playtime and snuggle time your babies will be in great hands!

About: Hello, Im Angie! I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly love caring for them. Spending time with dogs is one of my favorite ways to stay active, and I enjoy helping them burn off energy while getting exercise myself. Whether your pup needs a quick walk or some extra attention during the day, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for! I am available for walking your furry family member during the week Monday-Friday after 2:30pm or weekends if I am available. I also have random days off during the week, so just message me and I will let you know if I am available. You can trust me with your most beloved furry family member and any plan that you are comfortable with for pick up and drop off.

About: I have taken care of dogs and puppies since the beginning of high school. Friends and family have always asked me back to care for their animals while they are away. I have done basic training with puppies, have taken care of senior dogs, and am able to give medication if needed. I am currently in college and on summer break. I have always very open schedule at the moment and am willing to care for animals almost any day of the week at any time. I will only care for animals in the clients' home and I will assure to follow everything that the client leaves me regarding their pet and their home.

About: What sets me apart? When your pet is in my care (at my home or your own), I make them my priority from start to finish and treat them like my own. When guest dogs are staying in my home I sleep with them in our spare bedroom (no kenneling at night or during the day unless you request I do so) and if I'm house sitting you can rest assured that I will leave your home and pets as good or better than I found them. I never charge extra for walks, playing fetch, taking them on a car ride, or doing an activity they enjoy. I want your pet to feel like they're on vacation, too :) When I'm house sitting for a client I aim to be there the entire time, and since I work remotely (as long as you have quality wi-fi) I am able to work from your home - this means your pet gets even more time and attention, and if I do have to leave it will only be for a very short period and I will communicate this to you prior. If you do not need/want me there 24/7 we can discuss and adjust price based on what we agree upon during our meet and greet. I aim to be as flexible as possible to meet both your need and your budget... I know this is an investment! I am here because I love the idea of helping other pet-parents know their pets can be taken care of when they are busy or want to enjoy time away with loved ones. I am also here because anyone who knows me knows how much I love animals :) both my own and any animal I meet. I have experience with all sorts of animals and I'm equally as comfortable with both dogs and cats... big and small. I also have experience with tricky behaviors (aggressiveness, food guarding, potty training, learning to walk on a leash, teaching commands, etc.). I can administer medicine, communicate with vet offices effectively, and I am known for providing all of the updates/pictures/videos someone would like while I'm caring for their pet! For awareness, dogs and cats are kept separate in our home. We do this for safety :) There is an underground fence for our dogs and this is an option if your dogs are collar trained. If not, no problem - I am happy to take pets out on a leash. Safety is my top priority, so I will strictly follow the instructions given for your pet(s). When it comes to inside the home, I will closely monitor all play/interactions and if needed, I will separate and/or give primarily 1 on 1 time with your pet if that is what they require. Please note: if you live more than 45 miles from my address I do charge a 1x flat fee of $50.00 while house sitting. Similarly, if you live more than 25 miles from my address I charge a 1x flat fee of $12.00 for dog walking and/or drop-in visits. Thank you for your understanding!

I can walk dogs to make sure they get the exercise and fresh air they need each day. I can also train dogs, helping with basic commands, good behavior, and reinforcing positive habits.

My goal is to make things easy for both you and your dog. You can relax knowing your pet is in good hands, getting plenty of care, activity, and attention while you keep peace of mind. Im a a dependable and passionate pet sitter, I have over 10 years of experience making me a great choice for your pet. I understand that every animal has its own personality, needs, and routine.
