“Karma loved her visit with Sarah and Ethan. She appeared to have adapted well and will be comfortable when she visits again in December. I highly recommend Sarah as pet sitter.”
“Briana and Jeremy were great as always. Penny and Dex felt right at home and had a staycation while we went to a wedding. Thanks you guys for taking such good care of our pups!”
“David provided loving care and excellent communication for our two dogs during their week long stay. We would highly recommend David and you can be confident of excellent care and communication.”
“Highly recommend!!!! We are repeat customers because our two labs love Joel and Janelle! They shower our dogs with extra love and attention. They give the dogs extra play time in their extra large fenced in yard. Joel and Janelle are so friendly and have great communication.”
“This lady is AMAZING! last minute medical situation and with a new puppy. She was so welcoming and so nice. Great communication amazing updates and seriously she could be a pro dog photographer. Just absolutely no. 1 best person on Rover. Anyone in the area needing someone to care for your pups have to give her a shout!”
“Megan took such great care of our dog! She kept us updated with photos throughout our stay and we could see how happy our pup was. Her kids were also so incredibly sweet and gentle with her! Definitely recommend and will absolutely be rebooking when we’re in need of a sitter in this area!”
“Our 1.5yr old puppy, Birdie, was in the very best hands with Melissa during a recent boarding! Melissa is thorough in her intake, noting Birdie's food allergies and current schedule, and is warm and gentle in helping pups acclimate to a new environment. Melissa maintained Birdie's schedule, giving her plenty of outdoor and play time, and administered Birdie's medication, giving us peace of mind to focus on family. We enjoyed the handful of photos Melissa sent along the way and always appreciate her responsive communication. Melissa is deeply professional and the most thorough and warm caretaker and our expectations are always surpassed when Birdie is with Melissa!”
“Sadie loves staying with Heidi and her family when we are away. I know she is taken care of and can enjoy our trip! She also loves playing with Heidi's dogs and running in the yard! I appreciate the daily photos and videos Heidi shares of Sadie so much 💖”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for animals of all sizes and personalities. I have cared for many dogs of various breeds & sizes throughout my life and currently have three dogs and two cats at home. Besides cats & dogs, I have also cared for rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets, hamsters, chickens, goats, and sheep! For the past two years, I have also volunteered at the SPCA in Winchester, gaining hands-on experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and care needs. I am confident working with playful puppies, senior pets, and everyone in between. I am patient, outgoing, and truly love providing animals with the care and attention they deserve. I am a student at Virginia Tech, so I have availability here and there throughout the day! I am also available most evenings/nights for longer periods of time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort above all else. At my home, pets enjoy a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, a walkable neighborhood for daily walks and fresh air, and a spacious deck that’s perfect for lounging and sunbathing. Inside, animals are treated like family in a clean, pet-friendly space with constant attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routines and space, ensuring their pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for in their own environment.
“I cannot thank Michelle and her family enough for watching Bella multiple times! Michelle is great with sending pictures, and keeping me updated as to how she is doing, Of course Bella loves to cuddle with the entire family as well. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!”
“I have an older min pin that hasn’t ever been away from me with someone she hasn’t known before. When I brought her over for a visit before the booking, I knew immediately my baby was going to be taken care of and would be safe. I got a bunch of pictures and videos of my baby girl and I could tell she was being taken care of as if it were me. I would recommend Min & Matt to family and friends, which says a ton about the way they took care of her.”
“Sandra, was the best. She sent me pictures of my Kilo everyday from the morning to night. It made us free so comfortable knowing he was in good hands and having a great time. We will be contacting Sandra the next time we have to go out of town. THANK YOU again Sandra!!”
“Amazing! I can’t say enough about how well she took care of our girls. I have already rebooked for our next trip. Not only does she treat the girls as family but she also works with training. We have a young pup so training has been out top priority. Highly recommended❤️❤️❤️”
“5-Star review for Hannah! Angel not only got treated like a family pet, she got to play with Amara, Montana and D.O.G. while she was there! I received updates and multiple pictures of Angel while I was away. It was very comforting to know that Angel was safe and being loved on. Hannah’s home was clean and pet-friendly with a large fenced yard for the dogs to run around and play in. I would highly recommend boarding your pet(s) with Hannah and her family. I look forward to using her services again!”
“Audrey was amazing and sent photos while we were away of the pups! They came back super tired and happy and passed out once we got home. I was fully confident in her and was not worried at all while we were gone.”

“Lauren took such good care of our two cats Misty & Cleo, while we were gone for a month! They were happy and healthy when we returned from our trip. She was always on time for our twice daily visits, and we appreciate the daily updates. We have already booked her for our upcoming summer trips!”
“Heather was always on time, attentive and kept me updated on the latest about my cats while I was away. I’m an anxious pet owner but knew they were in good hands.”
“Ashley was wonderful! We have 3 cats, 2 of whom are pretty new, and our oldest girl who isn't happy with us, so needless to say we were nervous about them behaving with new folks. Ashley was exactly the right person to visit our fur babies. She kept us informed twice a day, and included photos. In fact, when we'd read the report, we wondered if our cats had been abducted or replaced by aliens! We trust Ashley completely and wouldn't hesitate to rebook with her or to recommend her.”
“Meera was wonderful with my cats. She took great care of my two cats while I was on vacation. She played with them which they love and followed all my instructions. I really appreciate her genuine love for cats. I would definitely recommend Meera as a pet sitter!”
“Arnie is incredible! He came over a few days before my first booking to meet my 2 dogs. My senior dog warmed right up to him, and my 3 year old rescue even allowed some scratches and to be held. I was able to tell they both felt safe and secure with Arnie around. My senior needs a little extra help up and down the stairs, and I’m still working on leash confidence with the 3 year old. These things didn’t faze Arnie or stand out as a problem. He was ready to tackle them head on. This made me feel safe and secure knowing my babies would be in goods hands with him. I’m so thrilled that Arnie will be a buddy for my pups, and give me some peace of mind when I have a long work day!”
“Amber did a wonderful job with our pets. The cats especially seemed to warm up to her within a day when they normally take several days to warm up to someone. Her communication was great throughout and she left our house spotless. We would definitely have Amber stay with our pets again.”
“We left our 4 cats in Theresa's capable hands. She sent us pictures and updates. She even managed to get our 2 most allusive cats out and was able to pet them. This is quite an accomplishment. We highly recommend her., and will definitely be using her services again.”
“Michael was great with my cat and dog. My dog had separation anxiety issues and let me know whenever she did do a little damage and gave her a walk to help her. He was very attentive with their needs. I would use him again!”
“Aly was so communicative and took extra care to interact and snuggle with our cats. We really appreciated her willingness to sit for us last minute and enjoyed our trip knowing she was updating us with pictures of her sleepovers with our girls and Pookie. She was able to administer insulin for our diabetic cat and ensure her dietary needs were met. We were so lucky to find her!”
“We were so grateful to have Maggie step in on short notice to care for our cat. She was incredibly thorough, made sure everything was taken care of, and even brought in our packages while we were away. We especially appreciated the regular updates and photos — it was so reassuring to see our cat happy and well cared for. She was friendly, reliable, and went above and beyond. Highly recommend!”
“She has pet sat for us several times and every time she has gone above and beyond. This past trip we were gone internationally and never had one concern because I knew Abigail had it under control!!”

“I was nervous because I've never used this app or left my dog with anyone. Charlie made me feel super comfortable. He showed me the space, showed that he had read her profile, and took such good care of her. She had ample space and friends to run and play with, but Charlie also gave her cuddles when she started to get anxious, which I truly appreciate.”
“Extremely happy with Tavin as Max’s puppycarer. He Had such a good time and it’s a shame we left the area otherwise we would use her on a regular basis. Very kind and friendly carer. Max was asleep minutes after getting in the car.”
“Charity was super responsive and sent pictures of Jax right away! My schedule was a bit in flux and Charity was very understanding and willing to work with me. Jax came home happy and tuckered out from a day of playing!”
“Great experience and service and Boodah loved going back each day. Kierstan was awesome and helped me navigate some tricky scheduling changes around festival performances. 10 stars!”
“Wonderful sitter! You can tell she really cares about her campers. We have our baby scheduled with her for a long weekend and I fully trust her to provide excellent care. My little baby is my pride and joy :)”
About: My family and I absolutely love dogs we lost ours recently and I am not ready to get another one but would love to care for yours like he/she was our own. I have 3 very energetic kiddos that would love to play with and give lots of love and cuddles to your fur baby. I am a stay at home mom, we have no other animals of any kind so your fur baby will have all the attention when they stay with us. Please be understanding that no pets in the bed, its a very full bed already with 3 kids under 6.
“Olivia was really great with Lucky. He fit right in with her puppies and they had so much fun playing in her big yard. She also sent me pic and video updates. I will definitely be using be using her services again. 10/10!!! Thanks!!!”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is truly second nature to me. I’ve worked in a veterinary office for five years—both in the kennel and as a veterinary assistant—so I’m comfortable handling pets with all kinds of needs, from energetic puppies to seniors who need a gentler touch. I earned my Bachelor’s in Animal Science from Virginia Tech and my Master’s in Animal Science from Clemson University. Throughout school, I worked in research labs and on university farms, gaining hands‑on experience with many species and learning how to care for animals in a wide range of situations. I now live in Harpers Ferry with my two dogs and six chickens, and I work for an animal genetics company. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, cattle, goats, and more. I’ve raised orphaned animals, supported very sick pets, and provided long‑term care for elderly companions. My husband also has experience caring for his family’s pets and helps care for ours, so your pet will always have someone attentive nearby. At home, I currently have Hallie, a Brittany spaniel mix, and Beamer, an Aussie mix—both friendly, social pups who love having new friends around. Whether you’re local and planning a getaway or visiting the area and need a trusted sitter, I’d love to welcome your furry family member into our home and treat them like one of our own. I work from home so I am able to be with your pet all day for doggy daycare and pet sitting. I am available for drop-in visits during the day in the Harpers Ferry area. I have a large fenced in yard and extra crates! I allow animals do be on my furniture as long as that is what their owner allows. My dogs are very active so frequent walks are great!
“We were so lucky to have Ellen watch our dog, Ziva! She has separation anxiety, and we were nervous about leaving her with someone new in a new environment. Ellen was so reassuring from the start, promising to take good care of her. And she absolutely did. Her sweet dog, Cleopatra, was so friendly and helped Ziva feel comfortable right away. Our first impression was unforgettable- Ziva followed Ellen, which is rare for her with someone she doesn’t know. Ellen took extra care to comfort Ziva when she was anxious and sent us picture updates that really put our minds at ease. Because of Ellen, we were able to enjoy our event without constantly checking our phones. This was such a relief, especially since we’ve had a bad experience with a previous sitter who never sent updates. Ellen went above and beyond, and we could truly feel the difference in Ziva’s comfort. We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Ellen, for caring for Ziva like she was your own!”
About: I’ve had years of experience caring for my own dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I’m comfortable handling high energy dogs, including strong pullers, while staying patient and confident with larger breeds. I also have experience giving medications, including injections, and always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I’m currently working from home so my daily schedule is very flexible. I may need to take calls and meetings during random times of the day, but this does not effect my work office environment or pet needs. I have a fenced in yard at my home, including private spaces inside for calming time, private eating area, or one on one attention with your pet. I can provide neighborhood walks multiple times a day. I own two dogs and two cats. My dogs are experienced in meeting and sharing a space with other animals. They are up to date on their vaccines and flea and tick prevention. My cats are used to other dogs as well. I offer private space with me in my office during the work day if you would prefer your dog to not be around other pets. I can also arrange private yard time with no interactions with my pets outside as well.
“Abby and her husband were great hosts! Awesome communication and everything was made easy and smooth for a last minute request. Their dogs Maple Syrup and Moose were such good puppy hosts and played well with our dog. We received plentiful videos and pictures of the fun!”
“Arlene welcomed us into her lovely home and we immediately sensed that Sky was in a safe and loving place. It was evident throughout our contacts during the day that Sky was content and receiving good care. We highly recommend Arlene’s services for doggie daycare and will use her again when visiting the New Bern area.”
“Marne, Bailey, and her family welcomed Leah last minute. Even though we both prefer meet and greets, they opened their doors to Leah for a full 10-hr daycare. They alsl addressed all my questions before booking, and before and after daycare. Loved, loved, loved the full communication between us about Leah's day and took great care of all Leah's need in a very structured manner. Based on the report card, leah had a blast with them. As a first time customer to them, I'm beyond happy to call them my first official dog sitters in their area, especially since I move all the time around the District of Columbia and the surrounding states. Thank you so much! We'll see you again!”
“Alexsys took amazing care of Louie! We are so happy with the love and affection her and her son gave him all day. We will definitely be using her services anytime we need!”
“Lucy always does an amazing job with Molly. Her and Christian have really helped me with watching Molly as I prepare for a move, but I will still keep them as my go-to dog sitters for when I take a trip, even if they will live an hour away. The dog's excitement as I approach their house to drop her off with them tells me how well she's cared for while there.”

“Kathryn is always fantastic with Andre. She handles him well and he enjoys spending time with him. Her communication is excellent and I never have to worry when Andre is with her. We will definitely reach out to her again!”
“Cannoli took to Arnie immediately which is really unusual for her. But they get along great and I know she lives the walks! When comes home she crashes for an hour or so. Arnie is early and takes good care of Cannoli. Very much appreciated. I definitely went with the right walker!”

About: I have decades of experience with both cats and dogs! I have a reactive/senior dog that I have had since he was a puppy. He also suffered from severe separation anxiety, that I had to help him with when we first got him. I rescued him from the Humane Society. I have had training with him, to help give him his best life. I have experience with both dogs and cats, from puppy/kitten to senior age and every age in between. I do have basic pet training skills, including leash training, as well. I also can administer oral medication when needed for dogs. I have experience with dogs with special needs, such as, blindness and special dietary needs. I have experience with active/herding dogs as well. My senior dog Willow, was a boarder/lab. She recently crossed over the rainbow bridge. She was over 13. She was a very active girl. I also have 2 grand dogs. A 4 year old male Great Dane/hound and a 1 1/2 year old male Australian shepherd. I take care of them from time to time when my family needs me too. I also have several clients that I regularly take care of their pets while they’re either at work or away on vacation. I offer several types of services for your pets. I can do drop ins/potty breaks, walks/playtime or overnight stays when you’re away or on vacation. I also provide photos/videos, so that you can see how much fun your fur baby is having while you’re away! I do have experience with multiple dogs/cats households. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s) and helping to provide caregiving services for your pet! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available most days with notice ahead of time. On occasion, I can do non-scheduled pet care times as well. When caring for your pet in your home, I will follow your instructions for your pets needs. We can discuss how much time your pet can be left alone, as well as, if they need to be crated while left alone. If I am taking care of your pet while you’re away for overnight stays, I will generally check on your pet every 4 to 5 hours unless noted otherwise.
About: I owned a pet sitting business for 10 years. This experience gives you peace of mind to allow me to come into your home to care for your fur babies. I'm retired from the federal government and from the U.S. Air Force. I have plenty of time to care for your pets. Nothing could be better than doing what I love so caring for your fur babies is right up my alley! I’m a dependable and compassionate pet sitter with experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, litter box and habitat cleaning, and providing plenty of attention and companionship while owners are away. I understand how important routines are for pets and always aim to create a safe, calm, and stress-free environment. My goal is to make both pets and their owners feel confident, comfortable, and cared for at all times.
“Thank you Demi for walking Barkley. Your patience was much appreciated as Barkley was getting use to us being away. Thank you for being accommodating and adapting to Barkley’s needs even when the weather was not cooperating. We will definitely hire you again to walk Barkley.”
About: i have received my certificate for dog grooming and training, i personally have 5 dogs and have a lot of dog handling experience. i love dogs very much and will treat all of them like my own and take care of any needs that are needed. i am currently a college student at Shepherd University and i do have my dog on campus with me so i do make her a priority (along with school work) so overnight stays will only be possible if my dog is able to come, if our pups get along that’s amazing but if for whatever reason they don’t, i do have experience in dog aggression and i am able to keep them separate and have a nice rotation schedule set in place to keep all dogs happy. i will make sure the fur babies are always watched, always have access to fresh clean water, plenty of play time and potty breaks. will bathe if needed!

About: Hi, I’m Kellie! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for furry companions of all kinds. As a dedicated pet parent and experienced caregiver, I understand just how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet is high-energy, laid-back, or needs a little extra TLC, they’ll be in good hands with me. I treat every pet like family, and I’m committed to providing a calm, comfortable environment and personalized attention. Whether you need daily drop-ins or dog walks, I’m here to make sure your pets feel loved, secure, and right at home. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet you and your four-legged family member! I work from home so I am available any time. My 8 year old Shih-Poo, Harley, is my baby and I am fortunate enough to be able to spend most of my day with her. I have a fenced back yard and pet friendly home. My Shih-Poo is good with other dogs and loves to run and play. I live in a pet friendly community with plenty of community walking paths. I will follow your instructions and wishes to the letter.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of varying sizes since I was a little girl. In my childhood home we had five dogs, two cats and one bunny! I currently have two elder dogs, and three cats! They’re very special to me and I take the most precious care of them, which I extend to all animals and hopefully, to yours too! I am pretty available, as I work overnights mainly! I can also offer home stays as well with enough time to prepare in advance! :) Just like I do with my pets, I will follow your fur babies eating and potty schedule to a tee. They’ll only get the best love, and “gentle parenting” (haha). I love to go on walks myself, so they’ll get out plenty. As well as respecting your home & rules!
About: I'm certified in CPR emergency vet services and have watched dogs in my home for years. If you are working long hours and or regular hours and need someone to take care of your dog while you're at work, I'm the one. Sometimes when we leave our dogs alone at home while we work they can get into a lot of things. They can get bored. They can be destructive and they get very lonely. Most of the clients that I work with have a job work long hours and their dogs at times have torn their house, their furniture or whatever they can find completely up and then they have such a mess when they get home. We love our dogs. We love them more than anything and it's hard to come home like that. So if you're tired of it and need someone to help, I'm the one for you. I'm retired. I have two dogs that are so used to other dogs. They don't get out of my sight. Believe me. I have leashes harnesses beds. Anything they need? Lots of toys and lots of activity. I don't have a fenced-in yard but that's why I take small dogs and I can walk them two to three times a day. Whatever you would like to have done. They are allowed on my furniture and in bed with me if they happen to spend the night. They have full run of the household just like mine does. My two dogs are small and they love other dogs after their first initial visit. My dogs are used to other dogs in my house that are not mine and we all get along. Meet and greets are essential. I love animals of all kinds, but I find that dogs are my ones that I can handle the best. It gives the owner peace of mind knowing that their dog is with someone that will take good care of them. So if you need somebody like me just me know. We'll see what we can work out. Randomly I will be able to watch them overnight. If something happens you have to work late or the weather gets bad and you can't make it to my home. That's not a problem. I've got a big bed and lots of blankets and lots of pillows and lots of dog beds if that's where they like to sleep. 🐾 All dogs must be up to date on shots and flea and tick medicine. All dogs will be checked when they come to my house to make sure that there's no fleas. If they do have fleas then I will bathe them And let you know that they need flea and tick medicine before they return. I have plenty of references if you request. I’m retired and am home all day. I’m prepared ahead of time for hosting dogs. The reason I have a one-day notice is so I can prepare my house with anything I may need so that there is no leaving the dogs by theirself. All pets free roam my home. They get to sleep wherever they are used to. They are fed according to the pet parents instructions. All pets get two to three walks a day .Lots of potty breaks, water provided outside and of course inside. They get lots of hugs and treats if aloud by pet parents.
“I messaged Jaden and she was able to come that same evening for a meet and great, and start walks as early as the next day. I highly recommend her! Jaden has been walking my puppy Toby for 3 weeks now. On time, great communication, super flexible and has great availability. Will continue to work with Jaden moving forward.”

“Our 1.5yr old puppy, Birdie, was in the very best hands with Melissa during a recent boarding! Melissa is thorough in her intake, noting Birdie's food allergies and current schedule, and is warm and gentle in helping pups acclimate to a new environment. Melissa maintained Birdie's schedule, giving her plenty of outdoor and play time, and administered Birdie's medication, giving us peace of mind to focus on family. We enjoyed the handful of photos Melissa sent along the way and always appreciate her responsive communication. Melissa is deeply professional and the most thorough and warm caretaker and our expectations are always surpassed when Birdie is with Melissa!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for animals of all sizes and personalities. I have cared for many dogs of various breeds & sizes throughout my life and currently have three dogs and two cats at home. Besides cats & dogs, I have also cared for rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets, hamsters, chickens, goats, and sheep! For the past two years, I have also volunteered at the SPCA in Winchester, gaining hands-on experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and care needs. I am confident working with playful puppies, senior pets, and everyone in between. I am patient, outgoing, and truly love providing animals with the care and attention they deserve. I am a student at Virginia Tech, so I have availability here and there throughout the day! I am also available most evenings/nights for longer periods of time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort above all else. At my home, pets enjoy a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, a walkable neighborhood for daily walks and fresh air, and a spacious deck that’s perfect for lounging and sunbathing. Inside, animals are treated like family in a clean, pet-friendly space with constant attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routines and space, ensuring their pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for in their own environment.
“Sage lived her absolute best life during her 6 night stay with Sandra! I can not say enough incredible things about her stay. We got daily picture updates and you could see how happy sage was! Sandra was flexible and even allowed for us to drop Sage off super early in the morning, 5am and was happy to do it. She has a huge back yard and sage loved that she often had other dogs to play with. Sandra and her family gave her extra love, treats and even let her play in a kiddie pool. We are happy to have found someone we are comfortable watching our 7 month old bernedoodle, prior to this stay we never left her with anyone else. We will definitely use Sandra for future needs and would recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“Amazing! I can’t say enough about how well she took care of our girls. I have already rebooked for our next trip. Not only does she treat the girls as family but she also works with training. We have a young pup so training has been out top priority. Highly recommended❤️❤️❤️”
“Audrey was amazing and sent photos while we were away of the pups! They came back super tired and happy and passed out once we got home. I was fully confident in her and was not worried at all while we were gone.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Tara provided for my husky, Rocky! Huskies can be a handful, but she handled him perfectly — keeping him exercised, happy, and well-loved while she was boarding him. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I picked him up, Rocky was calm, clean, and clearly well cared for.”
“Absolutely perfect experience with Kierstan!!She constantly gave me picture updates,and Cooper and Ripken obviously had a blast.She has a perfect fenced in yard and also took the boys for long walks.They were sooooo tired on pickup day that they basically rested the entire day.Will hopefully have many more experiences with Kierstan!!”
“Leo loved his time with Emily! He loved exploring her property and obviously felt comfortable with her based on his behavior when dropping him off and picking him up 🙂”
“They took wonderful care of our dog! They took her on field trips and adventures. They provided pictures and videos and were completely accommodating to our schedule and our dogs needs. Sammy had the best time and came home happy, healthy and tired! We felt completely at ease with them and their dog. Beautiful property for the dog to spend a weekend and we will happily use them again. Wonderful care of our dog without a worry! Thank you!”
“Our elder rescued pups spent an overnight and most of the next day with Sue and Bob. It's a wonderful environment for pets and our girls Heidi and Scruffy had a wonderful time. I would not hesitate to board with Sue again in the future!”
About: I believe in offering dog boarding at affordable rates and want my clients to book with me with the confidence that their dog will be welcomed into our family and cared for like they were our own (who we looove. A lot!). If your dog wants to join in on our active routine, they'll get a 1-1.5 mile walk in the morning, an early afternoon free-play romp in the securely fenced yard, another 1-1.5 mile walk around dinner time, and then hanging with the family in the evening. And I am happy to accommodate any of your preferences for their care! I work from home and am able to spend quality time with the dogs throughout the day. The dogs I care for fit into our family routine, which is active and close-knit. I have a fenced yard that gives the dogs plenty of room to run and play, and I have two Australian Shepherds who just love having a pack. Mine sleep in crates overnight and are fed separately. They are also happy to share their toys to help keep your dog occupied!
