About: I have volunteered at animal shelter and had dogs my whole life. I have also been a nanny and cared for many pets with the families i have worked for. I have a dog and every day we walk, feed, train, and love Bella. I also take her to the park a couple times a week to play with friends. I keep a close eye on dogs who are not potty trained and i try to teach them to potty outside, but for the most part dogs can roam and get on the furniture. We have plenty of toys and space to play or rest.

About: I have spent my entire life socializing, exercising, training, grooming, and looking after dogs. I have experience with dogs of all ages (puppies, adults, seniors), as well as most large-breed/high-energy dogs. I am very active and love walking, hiking, running, swimming, etc. with dogs! My home is cozy, dog-friendly, and is located close to several dog parks, hiking trails, and river access points. Dogs in my care will experience diligent care as well as exercise and fun activities that are tailored to their energy-levels. I am available for overnight stays as well as dog-walking on weekdays and weekends. Please contact me if you would like to know more about my availability! I currently work part time from home and have lots of time on my hands for fun activities/exercise or also relaxing on the couch with a buddy! I make my dog’s safety and comfort my number one priority and always do the same for any clients and their dogs. I am extremely dedicated to making all dogs’ lives as full and enriched as possible! I’m currently working from home and have lots of time to socialize and exercise dogs! During the summer, we like long walks in the mornings and evenings and shorter walks during the hotter hours of the day. I have a fenced in yard for bathroom breaks during the day. I always make sure to do lots of exercise walks during the day. I’m very tidy and will take great care of your home if you prefer a house sitting!

If your dog needs solo accommodations or doesn’t get along with others, just let us know in advance. • Please ensure your dog arrives clean for their stay. Note: Unfortunately I cannot accept boarding bookings for unneutered male dogs. I would be happy to do house visits instead. 🌙 Nighttime Routine: We stick to your dog’s usual bedtime habits, whether that means a crate, a special blanket, or cuddling on the couch.

About: I have taken care of dogs and puppies since I was 10 years old. I was relied on to feed, water, walk them and also play with them for the time that I was helping out! I look forward to catering to all your needs for your furbabies! I currently work a full time job during the week, but available all weekends. But I will make a schedule work if needed during the week as well. I would like to care for the fur babies in their owners homes, only due to the fact that is their safe place and they are familiar with that location versus my home being brand new.

About: I have owned animals since I was in diapers. From puppies to dogs, kittens to cats all the way up to horses and bearded dragons, even snakes. I love all animals of all kinds and I am not afraid of any animal big or small. I am a stay at home mom so I am home 24/7 with any and all animals and I am available 95% of the time. Meet and greets are scheduled during the week after 530pm as I keep my 8-5 open for any last minute drop in visits on the weekend meet and greets are able to be done anytime as long as I do not have another client. I only walk dogs on the weekend. Unless you need me to walk them during a drop in visit which I can do. I have 1 crate trained husky who love to be around other animals they are hyper but are very gentle even with the smallest animals. If your animal needs to be separated for any reason I have a dog room and then the rest of the home. So ther is plenty of room to separate if need be. I also have cats in my home but they can be separated as well. I do live in my own home. But our yard is not fenced all pets who go outside will be leashed and have free roam of our pet room and/or the rest of the house depending on if they get along with my pets.

“Starr was great with our big dogs. Very responsible.”

“Summer has been AMAZING! This week was my first time using Rover and she has definitely set the bar high! My pup is shy to new people at first, but Summer was so patient with her - now my pup absolutely loves her! I highly recommend having Summer walk your fur babies”

Stephanie K.

“Jenna is pleasant, capable and responsible. She cares for my dog. And I feel that she is more than able to make good decisions while my dog is in her care. Whatever your needs for your pet, you will not be disappointed with her care.”

About: I am also a dog trainer and have been working with dogs most of my life. I love helping owners with their pups, whether that's sitting them or just keeping them company and walking them! I am an entrepreneur and am available most times throughout the day and or nights. There are two nights through the week for two hours that I am not available and some weekends I will be out of town. But I am available most days! As a dog trainer, I enter the pup's home with very calm energy, but I also spoil my pups, with lots of love and treats. If the owner specifies how they want things to go, I'll make sure to follow that!

About: I grew up around dogs and cats. Starting with a Papillon when I was younger and currently my King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. Some dogs I've also cared for include Black labs and Springer spaniels. I am comfortable caring for all fur-babies no matter the size! Having such a close connection with my own pets, I understand the stress and sadness leaving them behind. Let me ease your mind and your pets by providing the most loving, caring and comforting environment for them <3 Currently I work catering during the weekends and attend school online during the week so I am available Monday through Friday and also some weekends. My pets eat at the same time everyday, are right by my side for most of it and have the most gentle and caring Mom. (I think they would agree). Dogs in my home go outside to pee every 2-3 hours and poo walks 2 times a day. We prioritize routine. Along with play time and stimulating food bowls and toys to prevent boredom.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of every kind. I recently obtained my bachelors degree in animal science and have been working as a vet tech for 3 years now! I am CPR and first aid certified for all furry friends. I am certified to administer any medications (pills, oral liquids, or injections) if needed! I am switching to pet sitting full time and will be home all day and night with the pets. I have a fenced in yard but also go for daily walks through my neighborhood for exercise. When a pet stays at my home, they have access to the entire house unless they need to be separated per your request. I have different areas that can be blocked off if needed. I take the dogs out for a walk 2-3 times a day and will use the fenced back yard for play time and potty breaks in between. I can administer medications if any are needed and follow whatever feeding schedule you have set for your pet! If I am coming to your home, I will follow the routine you have set for your baby as closely as possible!

About: My family has always loved animals so we’ve always had a lot. Currently we have 8 dogs and 9 cats. Two of the dogs are specifically mine but I help take care of all of them! No animals scare me and i’m very trustworthy!! I am currently in online college courses but I can do that from anywhere! Other than that I don’t do much but hangout at my house. I cannot bring your animals into my house from all the dogs I have but I love playing with animals and know how to clean up after them. I don’t mind hanging out with your pets for however long you need me!

“Destiny was able to walk my dog very last minute! Will be booking again”
