About: I am a work from home mom who loves pet sitting. I started this journey a few years ago, and has had the privilege of hosting several dogs of all ages, personalities and sizes. My children absolutely love animals, especially dogs, so there will be lots of cuddles and love from us. I take dog sitting very seriously, so I am very careful, and I always aim to please my pet parents, so I am always sending pictures, videos, and making sure your baby is happy and well taken care of. I am big on staying fit and healthy, so I take daily walks to get my steps in. I am very accommodating, so nothing is ever too much for me. I’ve had pet parents ask me to scramble eggs for their fur babies and put it on top of their dog food, and I’ve also had pet parents tell me to only feed their fur baby with a spoon, so please don’t hesitate to ask for any special request, because I aim to please! I work from home during the week and I have lots of down-time allowing me to interact and play with your fur baby . I am off during weekends and holidays I have a big house with an unfenced yard, and a loving family that will play and love on your fur baby. We will take daily walks, play outdoors, and have lots of play time and cuddles.


“Cheyanne was great. Our dog has separation anxiety and we needed a sitter last minute for Christmas. She stayed with Leaf all day and provided us with updates to ease our minds. When we returned Leaf was happy. Would definitely have Cheyanne care for Leaf again!”

About: I have cared for both dogs and cats for friends and family for years. I enjoy caring for them and giving them the attention they deserve. I currently work remotely for work one day a week. My schedule is somewhat flexible and can work closely with the schedule your pet maintains at their home. Though I work full time, I am allowed breaks and conduct visits or walks before or after work, and also during my lunch break. Weekends my availability is open and I can accommodate more easily. I have a back patio but the door does not close. I live beside the greenway trail and live a couple of feet away from the dog park if your furry pups would like some play mates. I am very open to instruction, and will treat them like my own within your household.

About: i! I'm Harleigh – your pet’s new best friend! 🐾 Caring for animals is more than a job to me—it's part of who I am. I’m currently raising my energetic puppy and my sweet, independent 2-year-old cat, and every day with them reminds me how much joy, patience, and love animals bring into our lives. With a young pup, I’ve learned all about the importance of routine, playtime, and positive reinforcement. And thanks to my cat, I understand the beauty of quiet companionship, respecting space, and the occasional 3 a.m. zoomies! 😅 Whether your pet is a high-energy cuddle bug, a curious explorer, or a shy soul who needs gentle care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at home. I treat every animal as if they were my own—with kindness, respect, and lots of belly rubs (if they’re into that!). Let’s give your pet a new friend they’ll wag or purr about! 💛 I’m currently working part time, so I have extra free time right now until school starts up! I’m fairly open and am willing to work around your schedule☺️ I can’t wait to meet your wonderful babies! I understand just how much your furry friends mean to you. Whether you're away for a weekend or just need a helping hand during a busy day, I’m here to give your pets the same love, attention, and care they get from you. From playful pups to cuddly cats—and everything in between—I provide a safe, comfortable, and fun experience tailored to each pet's personality and routine. I believe in gentle care, regular updates for peace of mind, and lots of belly rubs and tail wags! Your pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. And when they’re with me, they’re part of mine too. 🐾💛

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: 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.

About: I have taken care of every kind of animal since I was 12. Goats, dogs, pigs, horses, you name it! I just can not get enough animals in my life. I was also a dog groomer in the past! I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to love on your pet and give them the quality time they deserve and need. I am always cautious and sure to keep your pet or pets safe by listening to instructions you have or using instinct I have gained from experience.

About: We live with two beautiful pups and grew up with both dogs, cats, and even horses and livestock. Our experience with all is plentiful. Pets especially love our friendly nature, kind voice, and active lifestyle for a robust playtime. My husband and I currently work remotely full time, which has given us the ability to pet-sit for friends and family locally and even in different states! When I lived in NYC I walked up to six dogs at a time for about a year. We have a fenced yard for playtime, a sidewalk and dog park for walks and playtime. There is no food or trash to accidentally get into as everything is made to be pet safe.

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: What sets me apart from everyone else is that I’m calm and patient with every animal, and I’m very for keep my own animals fit and health, I will do the same for your I currently work from home and have more time to do drop ins and boardings. I don’t mind doing work from home from your home as well, just need to know in advance I am currently in the process of getting a fence put in, so I have plenty of space for your pup to run around in. I also have plenty of toys, due to having a German Sheppard mix

Christina A.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Christina take care of my two dogs, Moose and Ollie, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, Christina's genuine love for animals was evident. She immediately connected with both Moose and Ollie, making them feel comfortable and secure. Throughout the entire time I was away, Christina provided regular updates with photos and detailed messages, reassuring me that my dogs were in the best hands. Her attention to detail and dedication to their well-being were truly outstanding. Moose, who can be a bit anxious, seemed completely at ease under her care, and Ollie, with his boundless energy, had plenty of playtime and exercise. Christina went above and beyond to ensure my home was kept tidy and my dogs were happy and healthy. Her professionalism, kindness, and expertise were exceptional. I highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Christina, for taking such wonderful care of Moose and Ollie!”


Asa H.
“Asa is the most loving pet caregiver there is. He will care for your pet like they are his own. He looks out for their best interest and is sometimes called the dog whisperer as I have never met a dog who does not fall in love with him.”


Samantha B.
