About: I’m a stay-at-home mom, now that my kids are getting older I’m looking to make some extra income and I absolutely love animals (of all kinds)!!! Caring for animals isn’t a “job” for me, it’s privilege and I would love to be able to give them the love and attention they need in those times when life gets busy for you. My schedule is pretty open for walks, playtime, baths and just about anything else. I currently have a giant lovable Bernese Mountain Dog and 3 cats ranging from 13 years to 1, but I’ve had many other types of pets/family members in my life too, horses, snakes, chickens etc. and am experienced with them all. Also I want to mention that I’m available for check-ins and boarding in your home too. My schedule is pretty open also including weekends and holidays. Also I am flexible to whatever time works best for you and fits in your schedule. I love taking dogs on hikes and getting them out to be in nature but fun walks around the block work too. . . .

About: I have had a variety of pets my whole life, and love spending time with animals. As a teacher I am available all day on weekends and in June and July, and am home by 3:30 throughout the week during the school year. With me your pet will receive excellent care, and all the love and cuddles they can stand! I have two children, ages 14 and 13. They love to cuddle on furry friends, but are old enough to understand if your pet prefers less affection. I have cared for dogs ranging from toy sized to giant, so regardless of your dog’s size we will welcome him or her here! I have experience with senior dogs as well, just recently losing my beloved 17 year old mixed breed, so I am familiar with the extra care needed for elderly dogs. Whether in your home or mine, I would love to care for your pet! I work from 7:30-3:00 Monday through Friday during the school year, and am off from late May through early August, during which time I am available all week. At your home I can provide most any service you request, including feeding, potty breaks, walks and exercise play, and of course belly rubs and head scratches!

“Lola was a happy girl. She was well taken care of. Great communication and was prompt at getting with me via text messages. Super happy she took care of my girl. Highly recommend and would use again if in the area. Home was nice and inviting and Lola acted like at home as soon as we got there! Thank you so much for taking care of my babygirl.”

I've taken care of puppies as well as elderly including those who need medication and special needs. I stay at home full time so there is no worry about separation anxiety or on time potty breaks. They also get plenty of exercise as needed as well as affection. I have 2 nearby dog parks, one within walking distance that I use. I have 2 yorkies that love other dogs and my home is theirs. They are welcome anywhere in my home. I do go by my middle name which is GAIL. Thank you!

I have had both large and small dogs. About my yard Our family owns 13 acres. We have a lake on our property. Our home is not close to the road and we live in the country so there’s not a lot of traffic on the road. Our yard is not fenced in but your dog will not be left alone if it is outside. I will keep your dog on a leash at all times if that is what you prefer. We just moved to this property and built our home a few months ago and putting up a fence is one of our plans in the future. My experience administering medication I, myself, have had to give medication to my dogs many times so I am very comfortable with administering medication.

About: I’ve taken a year long course at Liberty K-9 in Hawsville, KY, learning how to teach and instruct dogs. I love them. Dogs are interesting and intelligent creatures.

And I have copious amounts of availability. And I am very flexible and willing to work around schedules. We have a two story home with a fenced in back yard. Lots of room to run around and play. I also have big couches for lazy dogs and warm beds with kiddos who love dogs. We also have a guest room for dogs that prefer not sharing a bed with a kiddo. We have a dachshund for a playmate. We have kennels for average and large size dogs. And I have a pass for the bathing station at pet supplies plus for all the bathing needs.

About: For the past thirteen years I’ve worked professionally with animals. I started out for a year as a kennel technician. Subsequently, in the following two years I worked in a veterinary office doing general practice alongside a veterinarian. Then I advanced onward to working at the downtown Evansville all-pet emergency center for 3 years along with an additional part time role as an internal medicine veterinary technician at a neighboring company that travels here from Louisville to practice in the adjacent clinic space of the ER building. Finally, I moved upwards to lab medicine for a year and a half before transitioning to private boarding. I’ve now then for the past three years been working in private doggy daycare & overnight boarding services from my home. Doggy daycare/boarding is our full-time job. This means we are home 24/7 to take care of your fur baby( or babies). Our days start at 8:00am with individual one-on-one enrichment-focused play time in our giant, fenced-in backyard. Instead of group play that is widely expected at most daycares, we do separated play-times to ensure all pups safety while in our care. The only way they interact is if they are already a bonded pair and come for daycare or overnight boarding as a pair. Additionally, this allows us to take on dogs that would normally otherwise be kicked out of other daycares due to failing to meet group play standards. After play-time, every pup is rested one hour prior to feeding breakfast to prevent twisted stomach/bloat. Then, after eating they are rested for an additional thirty to forty-five minutes to prevent the same condition. Following this rest period, it is back to play-time or naps on our comfy futon and/or human-sized dog bed that we use just for our pups. Until dinner time around 5:00pm, we essentially allow unlimited time outside/potty breaks at your pup’s request. Come dinner time, we rest again for about an hour prior to feeding. Afterwards, everyone is in their kennels until the last potty break of the night at 10:00pm. Also, while they are in their kennels, we have multiple cameras live feeding to our phones that way they are always being supervised. We are committed to our mission of ensuring each pet’s stay is a true vacation for them and that we are their home away from home. Our fur babies have access to a large, blanketed futon couch, multiple dog beds including a human-sized dog bed to accommodate large breeds and bonded pairs, as well as multiple large rugs in front of giant 70s style windows for sunbathing. They have free rein of the home’s main floor which is specially fitted with baby gates and stocked with toys to accommodate them. During the daytime, dogs are not kenneled and have free access to the home and yard. At night, they all sleep in a kennel for safety. While sleeping, and at all while kenneled in general, all pets are captured on surveillance with an in-home camera security system that live feeds to our phones at all times. Safety is our number one priority besides fun. They have a giant, fenced-in yard to run around in with tons of squirrels and birds to chase. I am able to take care of pups of any age and size. Additionally, I am skilled with amphibians and reptiles and can accommodate requests for these types of pets too. If you have any other questions regarding safety during our meet and greet, I will be more than happy to oblige!
