About: I personally have or have had dogs of all ages from birth to senior dogs. And have experience with rescue dogs as well and the many challenges that can bring when not knowing their background. I've had experience caring for all kinds of animals from birds, rabbits, cats, dogs and also farm animals like goats and cows. And can provide care for other small pets in your home while you're away. My schedule is very flexible as I don't have a regular job and work from home and make my own hours so it makes for a flexible schedule. When I am boarding your fur baby at my home I don't have a fence so they are leashed at all times as I'm currently in an apartment and don't have a fenced in yard. They do allow all pets here and everyone is super friendly and so are their dogs. I also have 3 small dogs of my own. I do have a long lead for bigger dogs so we are able to still play around outside with ease and they not be stuck right next to me.

About: Living in the OBX, Willing to travel, see new places! I want to help care for your dog in your home because I believe pets are happiest in their home setting. I never boarded my dog, always traveled with him or had a family member stay. I'm excited to meet all your fur family and see some new places. If you live near trails, i particularly enjoy a hiking dog. I will travel for overnight care up to a few hours. I also visit NH regularly. Im working on something personal right now which allows me the flexibility to travel and dog sit. I prefer the beach, mountains, lakes, quiet over cities. I'm a kiteboarder and hiker, so i'm partial to areas I can explore with these activities. I always follow the household schedule and your pets preferences. During my time in your home, I will leave it generally cleaner than I found it. I'm comfortable traveling to dog parks, trails etc with a dog or two in my car.. I'm happy to keep your plants happy, enjoying a green thumb.

About: I have lots of pets, including 3 big dogs and 1 pit bull, and I also rescue and foster cats. I volunteered at APS for 1 year, where I walked dogs, learned how to handle big dogs in a very stressful environment for them, and learned how to care for certain pet medical needs(such as worms). My home has become essentially an animal sanctuary for cats! I never leave a cat stranded and always take it to the vet right away to address any medical treatment needed! I am good with handling all size dogs but I typically prefer to work with medium-small dogs, and I'm great with handling cats! I'm working a part time job right now but my schedule is pretty leniant! Mornings, night, and midday are all times I'm available to work! Although I mostly would like to do drop-ins, I'm fully able to do house sitting as well as long as the times are communicated a few days in advance! At home I make sure all my pets are fed according to the time that they need, many people have different feeding schedules and I'm able to cater to any of the pets needs. For dogs making sure you keep eyes on them at all times especially when outdoors. Making sure all doors leading to outside are shut, or pet is fully secured before a door is opened. Paying attention to warning signs of distress in an animal is very key. Whether they are having a physical reaction to something or it appears more emotional, having a close eye on the pet assures that they are getting the help they need at all times. And of course lots of loving and play with the animals if that's what the owner recommends! I understand that not all animals are playful or affectionate, but for the ones that are its definitely good to take a little extra time out of the day for some belly rubs!

From playful puppies to senior sweethearts, I treat every dog like family — with patience, kindness, and plenty of tail-wagging attention. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic dogs needing long walks to dogs who require a calm, reassuring presence. I also have experience with basic training, so I’m happy to reinforce your dog’s good manners during their stay or walk! Whether you need reliable drop-in visits, daily walks, doggy daycare, or boarding while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet is safe, happy, and cared for like they’re my own. You’ll also get updates and photos so you can relax while you’re apart. Can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐶💛 Message me with any questions you may have! I do work full-time but have flexibility in my schedule to care for your pet. I do have a dog of my own, a male, golden doodle. Prefer to watch pets in my home. I take my dog on daily walks (typically a few times a day depending on weather). Love to ensure they get the mental and physical stimulation they need daily!

She has truly had her hands full with my two German shorthaired pointers alone, but she also cares for our two cats and fish whenever we are away. She has pet sat for us on at least 10 occasions. She communicates well, takes great photos, and always makes sure that our house is locked up whenever she leaves. Would 10/10 recommend her!”

Max gets a good workout, some solid playtime, and comes home happy (and tired, which is a win for us!). John even sends little updates or photos from their walks, which is such a nice touch. It's clear he treats every dog like his own, and that kind of trust is hard to come by. If you're looking for a great dog walker, John’s your guy.”
