About: I enjoy having dogs, and started using this website when I went out of town. Because of this, I know the high standard of care I expect from my sitter, and what you should expect too. I will take the time and care you would for your own dog. I'll give them snuggles, playtime, and lots of outside time depending on the crazy weather we have here of course. Myself and my doggy friends love to take walks, play tug-of-war, fetch and other games your dog enjoys or might enjoy. If your dog comes to our house we have a fully enclosed backyard. It is a great big yard enough to play fetch with a few dogs at the same time. Some just like to sun bathe and watch everyone else run around. Your dogs will have so much fun, and will be well loved while they are here. When my doggie friends come back for a visit the owners tell me the dogs are excited when they turn down my street. I have a Yorkie named Jack, and 3 mini Bernedoodles named Elenor, Dahlia, and Franklin. I am not taking unneutered or unspayed dogs at this time. I have lots of available hours to spend with your pets. My schedule is consistent usually, but fairly open. In the past, I was walking dogs. Not sure if I am going to start doing that or not. I have a fenced in yard and 4 dogs to keep your dog company. We can play in the yard or hang out in the house. I have lots of toys and balls.

“Nancy and Mark made our puppy feel so welcome in their home. I couldn’t be more happy with our decision to use their service, I would recommend them 100%!”


“This was our girls' first time hanging out with Hilary just for the day & they did so well. (Our second time booking with her overall) I was so happy to keep our girls with someone that I trusted would take care of them like one of her own dogs. They were so relaxed when we got home & not wound up, which tells me that they didn't have too much anxiety or stress during the day. Thanks again, Hilary!”


About: Your dog deserves a puppy vacation where they are pampered and loved 24/7. This is so much better for your dog, compared to a cage at the boarding facility... I can effectively manage walking dogs of any breed or size. We can walk for a mile, or more, if you like to. I have the strength and skills to effectively control any large breed dog on a leash. My dog training skills are endorsed by my personal dog trainer, and we successfully accomplish behavioral modifications during daily walks, with my go to trainer, available anytime. I am retired from my engineering career, and I have plenty of extra time for dog care. I live in Valparaiso, and have 24 hour availability. My yellow lab Honey has been so helpful with acclimating any shy dog. She goes into her puppy mode, and makes friends eagerly. Honey is essentially a therapy dog for other canines. I can feed your pet as instructed. I am experienced with bathing dogs and brushing all types of coats.

About: I was born into a home full of animals. As a child we had 3 dogs(1medium/2large, 3 cats, and the random array of fish/turtles between me and my 6 siblings. As a teenager we had 2 dog(1small/1medium) and 1 cat. Now as an adult my family and I have 1 dog and 1 cat. We did have a senior (21 years old) cat that passed away in 2023 due to old age. We have a Labrador retriever and a black and white cat . My family and I love animals and helping people. I have cared for my own pets as well as the pets of my family and friends my whole life. I’m sure with detailed instructions I can help care for your furry loved ones! Our schedule is all over the place. My husband works for the fire department on a rotating schedule. I work Sunday, Monday, Friday// Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday as a rotating schedule because I work in EMS too. Either myself or my husband is almost always home to watch our son and our own animals. On the rare occasion our shifts line up (once or twice every few weeks) a sitter would come to my home to help with the kids if we are both gone. My availability is very open since my husband is usually home when I am not, your pet will get love around the clock! For our home: I have a 8 year old black lab golden retriever mix. A 1 year old cat. A 2 year old human toddler and an infant. We have baby gates to separate the living room from the kitchen and the living room from the hallway/bedrooms. There are multiple barriers able to be used if needed. The gates are wall mounted for increased safety. Since there is almost always an adult home we have plenty of time to love and care for your pets! We have a water bubbler that we have connected to the Alexa so we are able to turn it on and off for our pets even if we are not home. We have a few parks around us that are just a short drive away. We have a large metal cage that’s available if needed. We have a very large fenced yard with lots of room for running and exploring! We have cameras around the house in almost every room for security, safety, and to catch funny moments. One camera is pointed at the dog cage as well for safety. For at your home: I will follow all acceptable and agreed upon rules and care for your pets the way that you tell me too! I will admit that sometimes I run a few minutes late due to having my 2 year son and my infant daughter with me! But for short visits (potty breaks) I can keep them in the car if needed!
