About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years. I car for four dogs, located in my home overseas, so I know the importance of knowing they are loved and cared for while I'm away. I'm happy to help put your mind at ease and care for your pets with excellence! I work full time from home, so I'm available to care for your pet throughout the day! I can provide frequent potty breaks, play, and walks throughout the day I live on a large farm that is easy to walk around. I also have great fenced in let you dog out easily for quick potty breaks! In your home, I'm happy to accommodate any rules and individual needs your pets may have.

“Shelby has been fantastic every time I’ve left Tater with her! She always sends pics and videos throughout the day and keeps me updated on how he’s doing!”


About: I’ve always been around dogs since I can remember and owned at least one since I was a little kid. I currently own 2 doodles, one which I’ve had over 10 years and the other we adopted a year ago. I work as a nurse only 3 days a week. In the meantime my husband is home 24/7. Every day before work and after work I like to take them for walks, so they each get multiple walks a day. I have 6 acres of fenced property. I have 2 other dogs that get along with other dogs and are kid friendly. As a nurse I can handle dogs that need to take Medicine or need to be crated overnight. We’re very understanding and flexible with owner’s needs.

About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats along with those of family and friends for the last 20 years. I worked in a vet clinic for several years and I have experience with a variety of breeds. I enjoy spending time with and getting to know each and every animal since no two are ever the same. I am currently self employed which allows me to make my own schedule. I care for the animals on my farm as well as my 5 herding dogs daily. I would love to care for your furry friends too. I believe every pet is an individual and should be treated as such. I like to find what your pet enjoys and work it into our day, wether that is a walk, playing fetch, or being a complete couch potato.

“Cheyenne took wonderful care of our Jax. He had a blast playing with her dogs and made a new friend, Romero. Her kids took to him right away. As labs do, he got muddy and she went over and above by bathing him. She sent frequent pics and videos of him playing. We will definitely use her again if we are in the area again.”


About: I am a certified professional dog trainer through CCPDT and use positive reinforcement, force-free methods with all of my services. My goal as a pet professional is to make my time with your pets fun, exciting and productive! From pet retail, to doggie daycare, to my very own dog training business, I have been working as a professional in the pet industry for over 8 years. Currently, I have two dogs, two cats and a ball python and have owned many other exotics in the past. I have volunteered with retired racing Greyhound adoption for years by transporting, fostering and adopting them into their forever homes. I look forward to adding more pets and their owners to the awesome family I've created through my training and boarding business! Ask about adding private training sessions to your dog's stay. Being a self-employed dog trainer, I am committed full-time to the pets in my care. Occasionally, when noted, I will have to step out for an in-home dog training lesson or walk, but I am able to return promptly, within 1-2 hours. I have a secure, privacy fenced backyard with cold water bowls, shade, raised dog beds, and toys to climb and play on. We love to pull out the puppy pool or sprinkler on hot summer days! Please note, dogs are never left unattended while out. If dogs must be left unattended for a short time, I have a fully suited up kennel room complete with a TV (to play cartoons or music), comfy blankets and cool AC or warm heat. For safety purposes, boarders will sleep overnight and enjoy their meals in their crates. I am a self-employed business owner, and dog training and pet care is my full-time job. My schedule is very flexible, as nearly all of my time is spent working with dogs, pets and my clients. Dogs will be crated for safety anytime they cannot be actively supervised, as well as during mealtimes. I have a fully suited, cozy kennel room in my home with heat/AC, music and a TV for comfort, plus a camera recording video footage for additional safety. My home is proofed, and my backyard has a secure 6.5ft privacy fence. Dogs will never be left unsupervised in the home or yard.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for many years now since my parents watch pets so we always have a new one at my house every week. Which this has exposed me to all different types of animals and how to care for them. I am always free during the summer so I am available all the time. I don’t have any weekly times I would be gone or busy. I would go to your home as many times a day as needed and stay the night to. I can put your dog in its crate if needed while I am not there with your pets.

“Elena was great with Korrie! She had the best time!”


About: I will give them the time and attention that they deserve, and if there's any types of training or exercises that need to be done I am willing to learn. My schedule is opened up quite a bit so I'm just doing some doordashing on the side so I'm more than available and capable of spending time with your fur babies. And giving Then the time and attention that they need. I'm also up for meeting beforehand if you need. You just give me all of the requirements of what your fur baby needs and wants are and I will follow any boundaries set for your place or mine.

About: Dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and that’s exactly how I’ll treat yours. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience with both playful puppies and seasoned seniors. As a full-time sitter, your dog will get my full attention with frequent walks, fun adventures, and plenty of love and playtime in my yard. I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and right at home—because when they’re with me, they’re part of the family. As someone who stays home full-time and only works a few days a week, pet care naturally fits into my daily life. I have plenty of time, flexibility, and energy to give each pet personalized attention—whether that means morning walks, medication schedules, playtime in the yard, or just cozy companionship throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone or on a tight schedule—they’ll be part of a calm, loving home where their needs come first. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and maintain your pet’s familiar environment to reduce stress. I stick to their usual schedule, including meals, medications, and playtime, while providing companionship and supervision. Whether at your home or mine, your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities.

About: I’ve been with dogs, cats, cows, and goats, my whole life. I have experience training dogs for 2 years with activities and commands such as house breaking, sit, speak, Shake, and many more simple commands. I am in school, but I’d love to take your dogs on runs with me in the park and out and about in the neighborhood. Coming home smelling like dog and covered in dog hair is my favorite thing. For pet sitting in my house, the dog can get in the bed or on the furniture, or it can sleep on the floor, totally your preference. I will take it out every two hours or so and do my best to follow your schedule that you have set with your pet. It’ll never know you’re gone.

Keyara H.
“Keyara has been an incredible caregiver for my dog, Luna, and I can’t say enough about how thankful I am for her. From the moment they met, Luna took to her instantly — which says a lot, since she’s usually shy around new people. Keyara quickly learned Luna’s routine, from her favorite walking paths to how she likes her food prepared, and always made sure she felt comfortable, safe, and loved. She sent regular updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her attention to detail, patience, and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my furry family member!”
