About: I am an ANIMAL LOVER who grew up with a veterinarian. I've been taking care of my own or other's pets most of my life.

About: I have helped train and care for my own dogs since I was 8 years old. I have house sat, done drop in visits and walked dogs for neighbors and friends. Dogs always make me smile and I have done a lot of reading/research on how to train/care for your dog. I work part time so there is a lot of time in my day to care for dogs. I usually have a lot of time in the afternoon and the evening to feed them or walk them. I love to play with dogs and walk them. I am very active so I can do long walks with the dogs or just play some fetch. All dogs are different and need different types of attention and love.

“Ben took such good care of our doggo on short notice over a holiday weekend. We are so grateful that we could be sure that our buddy was well taken of while we were out of town. Thanks, Ben!”
“We love Kaitlyn! My dog is very scared of strangers and she's been open to helping me train that out of him. We've been slowly working up to her being the only person on the walk. It's working so well, he actually gets excited when she comes. Cannot say enough good things.”

About: I currently have a German Shepherd and a Standard Poodle, but have had dogs and other pets since I was a kid. I have been caring for other peoples pets for 30+ years. My children were in 4H and I worked in a pet shop some years ago. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, lizards and snakes, chickens, sheep, dairy goats, and even a tarantula. I am comfortable caring for senior dogs and puppies and everything in between. I have a very flexible schedule and work from home. I’m available on holidays and weekends. I have the capability to deal with emergencies easily and will care for your pet like it was my own. I have reliable transportation and will send you photos and texts of your pet as I care for them.

About: I was raised on—and still help run—my family’s small farm, so animal care is second nature. From rabbits to horses, chickens to cows, and everything in between, I’ve worked with just about every kind of animal. I’ve also had dozens of dogs and cats throughout my life. My background in the Marine Corps means I bring discipline, strong communication, and a quick response time. If you ever have a question or concern, it’ll be handled right away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. Pet care is already a natural part of my routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to provide consistent and timely check-ins. My farm-kid instincts and Marine-level discipline keep routines tight, and I cap the number of pets I accept so no animal ever competes for my full attention. Animals have always been woven into my day-to-day life—caring for them isn’t a task, it’s a rhythm I’m used to. I have a fenced yard and four well-socialized dogs who do great with visitors, but I only introduce pets if I’m confident it’s safe. I can easily crate if needed, and I’m happy to separate animals for a calm environment. Cleanliness, structure, and clear communication are my baseline—your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I’d want for my own—clean, quiet, and intentional. I follow all instructions carefully, keep mess to an absolute minimum, and make sure your pet stays safe, calm, and well cared for in their familiar environment.
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have three Portuguese Water Dogs. I train and handle them in multiple dog sports such as agility and dock diving. I am semi retired after selling my business a year ago. Not one to sit still for too long, I think pet caregiving is a great avenue to channel my energy. My schedule is very flexible so I can work this in. I am very safety conscious. At my home we have a fully fenced yard. When out walking, I am always aware of surroundings and what might trigger a pet. I aim to be proactive and in control at all times
About: I am a calm and patient person with 2 years of working experience at a dog daycare/hotel and a lifetime of experience at being a dog lover. I am currently available anytime, this includes weekends and holidays. Please let me know when you need me and I will promptly respond. Thank you! I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space to allow your pet to run and have fun. I also have a very friendly boxer who would love to meet your pet if you are okay with them being introduced.
