“Allyson was awesome to work with! She was fast to respond and very accommodating and flexible. Our dog came home very tired so we knew she had a good time staying with Allyson. Will definitely rebook and recommend to others!”
“Wendy and Dean provided a warm, loving and safe environment for our precious, Fiona. Prior to Fiona’s stay at the farm, Fiona had not been separated from my husband or me. We were apprehensive about leaving Fiona, during our 11 day, out of the country trip. Although, net service was rarely available, Wendy, frequently updated us with photos of Fiona. My husband and I were relieved and appreciative of the care Fiona, received from Wendy and Dean. In the future we will not hesitate to schedule Fiona’s, stay with Wendy and Dean.”
“8 paws way up!! My 2 dogs would highly recommend Chris and his crew for wearing them out and play, play, playing! Large fenced in yard and other dogs to socialize with - June and Carter will be visiting again!”
“Kim was very kind to accommodate a short notice visit. She even fit in a meet and greet right away which I really appreciated. She was super responsive and sent lots of updates. Drop off and pick up times were flexible and she was right on time. Our dog came home happy, I couldn't ask for a better experience.”
About: I have owned dogs and cats since I was a child. I started volunteering at my local animal shelter when I was 14 and I also was employed there for 8 years. I own 3 cats currently and take care of indoor and outdoor dogs for family and friends. I work an 8-430 m-f job so any dog sitting will be around this schedule. Potty breaks during the work week will be approximately 8 hours apart because of this but can provide more during the weekdays. Drop in visits and walks can be any time on the weekends but I'm the evenings during the week! I have a yard but it is not fenced in. I do have cats that can keep yours company as long as they are cat friendly!
About: I’ve watched my neighbors animals. I’ve had pets of my own. What sets me apart, I would say. My heart. I wish I could have animals full time. Just can’t where I am. I work full time during the week, home every weekend. I’ll always make time to care for your pet/pets! Treat them like they’re mine. Ty. I have a secure entrance and an extra door coming to my apartment. I’ll always make sure they are on a leash outside. And they are welcome anywhere inside
About: We are a family that loves animals! The kids are very hands-on with our animals including feeding and walking. Our two dogs love other dogs and are very social. We have 20 acres for the animals to take walks and get energy out. My husband and I are both teachers so we have two different schedules depending on the time of year. In the summer, we are often home and are often outside with our pets. During the school year, we are gone from 7-4 for work. We have 20 acres of land that we like to take walks on including trails through the woods. We take our own dogs for walks every morning and often in the afternoon. You will often find us outside with our animals doing chores, playing, or hanging out.
About: I love dogs and have two of my own - a little man named Sid and big golden named Ruby. Everyone in my family has a dog as well so I am very used to being around pets. I am an active person and would love to walk, run with, or care for your dog! I work 2 days a week and I am flexible on weekends, so just let me know what you're thinking! We have two kids at home, 3 and under, so must be okay with sweet kiddos. I live in home with a big fenced in yard which is perfect for dogs. I have a small dog and large dog who get along very well with other dogs. They get super playful around other dogs, so your dog would surely have a fun time and get all his/her energy out! I am working part-time and home with my babies the other days, allowing a lot of flexibility with caring for your pet. We have some occasional things planned for weekends but are otherwise pretty open! I have a fenced in, nice yard for dogs to play and run in. We live in a great walking neighborhood. We have two dogs to keep your fur baby company as well as two young children. Animals must be kid-friendly for our home!

“Michelle regularly does check ins and has done a couple overnights for my pup. She arrives on time, takes great care of my dog, communicates, follow instructions, and sends lots of pics. She is incredibly nice and attentive to my pup and also this nervous dog mom lol. I am very selective in who let care for my gentle giant; I trust Michelle completely and know my baby is in amazing hands. She treats my dog like one of her own, his schedule is followed, and he gets to relax at home with lots of love while I am a way. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could! We are grateful for her at our house!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Northfield
About: At one time, we were breeders of Champion Golden Retrievers, and have raised many a pup, from small to large breeds. From Bernese to Yorkies, we love them all! Our furbabies are a Shorkie and Shih Tzu who are well behaved and make great hosts and playmates! Large pastures and trails on which to walk, so lots of exercise. Our canine guests will receive lots of love and attention! They will be welcome in our house if well-behaved, and treated like one of the family during their stay. We have excellent references from previous guests and do our best to make sure our every guest feels right at home. We follow all care guides given by our guests owners, including giving meds and treats as owner provides us. I or my husband are home with our guest dogs during stays. Our guests get lots of attention and care. We want to care for them as they are used to being cared for at home. We walk 3-4 times a day or as often as match the home life of our guests. They are cared for in our home and integrated into being cared for as part of our family with 2 little welcoming fur babies.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Northfield
About: Hi! My name is Grace, and I had the honor of being a proud pet owner for nearly 20 years. I had the opportunity to care for my dog, Marley, for 13 beautiful years, and my cat, Tigger, for almost 20! Growing up with pets taught me respect, responsibility, and safety around animals from a young age, and has allowed me to take part in many other pet caring opportunities since then! I give my time to all pets in my care, young or old, and it is always a fun time, every time! I have loved animals my entire life, and I will treat your pet as my own, along with giving them the best experience I would want my own pet to be given! I am currently available on select weekends, and can also fit time in during the week in the evenings, whether it be a walk, feeding, or even bath-rooming. I experience housesitting for others between 2-14 days at a time. I am a teacher during the day and a dance coach in the evenings, and due to this schedule, I am unavailable for drop-in’s between 7am-5:30pm. I am very patient when it comes to taking care of pets, and am attentive to their individual needs. I give appropriate reinforcement, along with discipline when needed. I am unable to care for pets in my own home at this time, but am more than willing to care in your own home, if needed!
