About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I also have a golden retriever right now who is super friendly. I walk him often so your fur baby will be walked as well. I currently work part time so evening and weekends are my best times. If boarding I won’t be at my place I will be at my boyfriends place! I don’t have a fenced yard but I have a one year old golden retriever who can be a fun play date! I am very trustworthy and will take care of your pets just like mine.

“Great job with Marley. Happy when I returned.”

About: I am a believer is rescues! I have rescued all my dogs including a pitbull, a chihuahua, a mini schnauzer, and we’re not sure what Ramsey is. I enjoy dogs of all sizes and skill, from the highly motivated for activity to the snuggly couch potatoes. I enjoy seeing their personalities come out as they become comfortable in our home and begin to trust. I have taken the time to try and teach my rescues good habits, but also loving them through the bad ones. I enjoy teaching basic commands and leash training. Currently, I am graduating from nursing school and will have an open schedule until the end of June. I am able to work around any schedule within reason. I will be happy to play with your fur babies as much as they require, and to keep them safe as we take our walks or runs!
About: I've had dogs and cats of all sizes and ages my entire life. I also have experience working in a vet clinic and dog training experience. Meeting new animals makes my day. I'm currently a freelancer that makes my own schedule. So I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies. Whether they need a walk, a bath, or just some company to help with separation anxiety. I've got you covered! I will ensure your fur baby has a visit filled with pets and play. I offer walking and bathing services to help accommodate your pet's needs.
About: I love to not only feed and let out your pets but also just hangout with them and keep a watchful eye just in case ;) I would love to swing by right before or after work on the weekdays! And can really commit on the weekends if you need to go out of town! I love to just come over and sit with your pet for awhile, let them get comfortable approaching me and then play with them or walk them and feed them when they’re comfortable!
“Danielle was the BEST! She sent me update photos and videos every day, and was so helpful when I had an unexpected issue come up with my reptile light! I would absolutely recommend her to pet sit if you have any reptiles, she was very knowledgeable and always accommodating.”
About: I grew up around animals all different sizes growing up. We owned a lot of dogs and so did many of my friends and family! I grew up making sure all dogs were well fed, groomed, and loved. Along with any medication if required. I absolutely love pets! I am a full time employee as an RBT so I work 8-5 Monday-Friday with a lunch break each day. I would be openly available on the weekends and after 5:30 on the week days. I live in apartment but there is a large dog park within my complex. I can play with your furbaby at your house, take them potty, walk them, feed them, or give them any medicine if needed.
“Kaitlyn did such a great job, helping us with our pets this weekend. We have two dogs and three cats, and she took very good care of all of them. She was very attentive and communicative when she was over at our house caring for animals. I would highly recommend her!”

I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and only take a small number of dogs at a time so your pup gets lots of personal attention. I do not have a fenced yard, so all dogs are safely walked on a secure leash and harness for potty breaks and exercise. Walks are always done one-on-one unless the dogs are from the same household.

I have plenty of time and plenty of love for your fur baby! I can provide services from walking to bathing, and even overnight visits. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and know the special care it takes to keep them happy and healthy.
