About: At Central Canines, pet care is more than just a service — it’s a personalized experience built on trust, structure, and love. With years of hands-on experience in both dog training and boarding, I go beyond basic care to truly understand each dog’s personality, needs, and behavior. Whether your pup is staying overnight or working on new skills, they’ll receive consistent structure, positive reinforcement, and one-on-one attention in a safe, home-style environment — not a crowded kennel. What sets me apart is the calm, confident energy I bring to every interaction, my commitment to helping dogs thrive both mentally and physically, and the genuine relationships I build with each pet and their family. Here, every dog is treated like one of my own. Pet care is my full-time lifestyle — not just part of my day. As a professional dog trainer and full-time pet care provider, my entire routine is centered around the well-being, structure, and happiness of the dogs in my care. From early morning potty breaks and structured play sessions to training lessons and calm evening wind-downs, every part of my day is designed to meet each pup’s individual needs. This isn’t a side job or a hobby — it’s my passion and profession. Your dog becomes part of my daily rhythm, and I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. In my home, pets are cared for with a structured, safe, and loving routine that supports both their physical and mental well-being. Dogs enjoy plenty of outdoor time in a secure yard, personalized enrichment activities, and rest periods throughout the day to prevent overstimulation. For those enrolled in training, I incorporate clear, consistent guidance into daily routines to reinforce good behavior in real-life situations. Each pup gets one-on-one attention, daily check-ins, and plenty of love — all while maintaining a calm, balanced environment. Cleanliness, safety, and respect for each dog’s individual needs are always my top priorities.

“The true test of a great Rover sitter is how tired my dog is after I pick him up! Ashley, her family, and her dogs did a great job of keeping Max busy while we were out of town. Thank you!”

About: I have bin caring for,and loving dogs since I was a child. Animals love me! I will care and love your pets like they were my own. Make sure they are tired for play so you can rest easy. Feed them and also pick up after them if they make a mess. I am observant and will stop at nothing to protect an animal. I currently am looking for work. So I am free everyday for the most part. I can walk your cats or dog, feed and water your pets, and also play with them when every is needed. I care for pets while keeping a eye on things. When walking where i will recored a trail log of the walk. If dog sitting i will make sure everything is in the place that it was found when I arrive. Will write down notes for each pet to give to the owner so they can have a record. I will make sure to have emergency information if a issue arises.

“Crystal was very polite and sweet. She came to my house three times to feed/let my dog out and even brushed her! She was very reliable and on time, she was also really good at communicating and let me know everyone she was on her way to my house and when she was leaving.”

About: I have taken care of animals big and small, disability’s and special needs included, for many years. I am very flexible and a responsible young adult that would love to spend time with your pet regardless:) I’m currently working full time. I am a very aware and responsible person. I am responsive to unsettling situations without hesitation, and I know many things about an animal's body language and habits overall. I work every weekday 6am-2:30pm and I’m off every weekend. I go to church every Sunday but should be gone no more than 4 hours :) I try my best to establish and follow comfortable boundaries with pet parents and pets alike and I carefully follow instructions left to me to the best of my ability :)

“Very sweet person. Sent pictures to me of my fur baby . I appreciated that. I would definitely recommend her to keep your fur baby”

Pal friends We all need BREAKS, let your DOGGY come BREAK with Me and my DOGGY. My schedule, I'M flexible. Let's CONNECT. PAL FRIENDS NEED BREAKS TOO I have no fence, I will ensure your pet is love and safe. I have a small doggy. He love attention and love. Your baby deserves it too

About: I’ve had a variety of different size dogs ranging from Anatolian shepherds to puppies. I’m a very active and affectionate caretaker. If your dog loves walks and runs I think we’ll be very compatible. I am a college student who’s trying to manage school and a job. I’m usually free right after school and since I love walking and playing with dogs why not be a dog sitter. I keep everything clean and respect everyone’s household boundaries. Before anything I ask the owner if there’s a schedule on when the pets need to go outside, use the bathroom, and when to eat. If I’m not offered a schedule I try to make one.

“We can’t thank Jessica enough for taking care of Vanilla while we were away for the weekend! She kept us informed about her and sent plenty of photos.”

“Tamica was great! She did an amazing job and went far above and beyond. She sent plenty of pictures and videos. I will definitely use her again. She is simply the best!”

About: Me and my wife love animals. We have a cat an a dog in our home country, the Schnauzer and the kitty from the picts. Sadly t they are not living with us right now. We love animals, we feel very comfortable around them and enjoy their company. My work is flexible son I can be with them anytime. We do not travel very often, so weekends work for us as well. My wife is a teacher so she stays at home after school. I work from home so I can always provide them company and walk them around anytime. There is a small backyard in our house. Enough for them to relax, walk around and enjoy a sunny day. We took care a big dog the other day and she enjoyed being there relaxing of course under our supervision!
