I have years of experience dog sitting and boarding for friends and neighbors. I own my home on 3/4 of an acre with my husband and 3-year-old pup, Fia, so if boarding with me, your pup will be well taken care of! Fia is a chow chow, lab mix, and as friendly as they come. She is well trained and socialized and loves new friends.

I have somewhat been able to live out my goals by being a pet owner myself to a rather energetic, rambunctious Labrador Retriever Mix named Bonnie whom I rescued from a...

To be honest, this would be my first time professionally pet-sitting but I feel like my love for animals negates this. I absolutely love animals and it would be my pleasure to assist you with pet care. As far as availability, this is something we can discuss if you are interested! Thank you for your time.
