About: I've worked in a nursing home and coached youth camps throughout my young adult years. I grew up with dogs and I now have two of my own; a 3 year old mini-cockerpoo, who is very playful, friendly, and submissive, and a 1 yr old Australian-labradoodle. I live an active lifestyle and am very affectionate so you can find us at the dog park, on walks/runs, or all cuddled up together. I am available for services every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, usually with 3 days notice. I am very active and like to bring my own dogs to the dog park almost daily, so I aim to prioritize and maximize their activity needs. I live in a house with long leash extensions for my dogs to play in our spacious yard (working on a fence soon). I aim to take them to the dog park daily and they are very playful, friendly, submissive, active, and cuddly so I can take him on both the small and big dog side. I am very engaging, energetic, loving, and caring so I like to give my all to the dogs and create a fun and safe environment for them to exert all their energy and cozy up to me when they’ve got nothing left.

About: “Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.” Ever since I was 2 years old I’ve had at least one dog in my house. I always found it odd I would rather be in the presence of animals instead of my fellow human beings. I’ve owned dogs anywhere from chihuahuas to pit bulls over the course of my 32 years of existence, all of which I loved dearly and miss so much. Theres no size or age of dog I would not be able to handle and care for. I understand how stressful and anxiety inducing it may be to leave your animal while you go on vacation. Allow me to care for your baby and keep their tail wagging as if it were my own! I currently have no obligations other than making sure your animal is properly cared for and loved while you are away from home. If your animal requires daily walks for however many miles or if they would rather relax and cuddle on the couch then we will do that. Whatever is “normal” for your dog, rest assured I will meet them there. There is no task I couldn’t handle or would not do for your baby. I’m of the belief that once you’ve had a wonderful dog, a life without one is a life diminished. Allow me to care for your wonderful dog while you are away. Safety and trust is most important. I like to keep schedule routine as much as possible. For example, if you crate your animal at night at 8pm and that’s what you would like for your animal while you are away then I will make sure I keep their schedule as much as possible while their parents are away. I am very quick to respond on my phone by either text or call. Again, I know it’s stressful leaving animals at home. Allow me to send daily messages and pictures of your animal to give you peace of mind while you enjoy your trip!

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.

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.

About: I have worked in pet care for a 9 years (Aug. 2014), and I love what I do. Providing the absolute best care for your pets is my passion, it’s not just a job to me. It is so important to ensure your pet is safe and sound while you’re away from them, and I go the extra mile to make that happen. I have a sit down with the owner to get all the information that I need and to get to know them and their pets I ask if there is anything specific I need to know such as health issues, anxiety, if they are reactive to something specific. I ask questions like do they chew, if they a runner or a climber, do they have allergies, is there a certain certain way to handle them to make them more comfortable, if they have a set schedule, how and when to feed, etc. I ask so many questions because it’s what I need to know to make sure I can properly take care of your baby. I spend time with the pet to observe behavior, movements, if they are shy or outgoing, how to react to loud noises, even their favorite treat or toy, and where they prefer to get rubs and scratches. You can tell a lot about how animal is feeling observing them. And if I have to sing them a lullaby and feed them with a spoon for them to be comfortable, then that is what I will do. I know what it’s like to have a love and deep connection with a pet, so I know how important your babies are to you. I promise I will treat your babies exactly the way I would want my baby to be treated. They deserve it. I am currently working a full-time job, with a very flexible schedule. I have a two hour window during lunch hours, I am available Most days of the week after 5 PM (I get off early one day an I get off early one day a week, )until 7 a.m. and I am available every weekend. I am able to adjust my lunch hours to accommodate your pets needs. Like I said previously, it’s important for me to get to know each pet I care for. Every pet has different needs. The care I give them, will meet each individual pet’s needs.

About: I have extensive experience caring for animals of all kinds. I am the owner and president of a nonprofit animal rescue which has allowed me the opportunity to work with newborn animals, senior animals/animals on hospice, sick animals, and animals who have experienced trauma. I am currently working from home so I will have plenty of time to spend loving and caring for your animals during the day. My schedule is flexible depending on your animals’ needs.
