About Becky

14 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Hello, I am Becky

I am a 22 year old college student, and I love dogs! I have over a decade of experience in dog sitting my clients have ranged from friends family to Neighborhood pups, and now I am expanding my clientele.

My passion for dog sitting took place when I had my first house sitting job at the age of 8 years old. Since then I have jumped at the opportunity to care for people's animals while they are away from home. I have dealt with dogs from many walks of life and temperaments ranging from separation anxiety to toy aggression. Every dog that I care for has unique needs and I am willing to do whatever necessary to accommodate.

I will care for your animals as if they were my own.

About Shane

25 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
I am a stay at home husband with 3 loving dogs of my own. I have a small yard which I supervise my own dogs in and don't leave them outside alone. I prefer indoor dogs that are potty trained but I know accidents happen and that isn't a problem. I have lived with animals of all kinds all of my life. My wife is a professional dog groomer with over 30 years experience in the business and also loves all animals. We can provide a safe and fun environment for your pet along with loving care.

About Renee

14 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
We are offering dog sitting (at your house) for the same fee if you are not too far from the parks mall.

My Mom and I are dog lovers and we will take care of your doggies like they were our own. We have a huge fenced back yard with lots of shade.
The only time that we are both gone is when we go to church. so they have nearly 24/7 supervision. We are very careful about leaving guest dogs alone together.
We are firm believers that a healthy diet and daily exercise make for balanced dogs.
If your dog is used to having little ones around, our grandkids will gladly keep them company .
We are committed to making sure your doggie is safe and happy. We are pretty laid back and flexible if there is something your dog wants or needs we can usually accommodate.
We ask that you put flea protection on your dog at least a week before they come.
We don't take dogs over 60 lbs or puppies under 10 mos.
Please check our calendar for availability.

Thanks so much

Renee and Thelma

Renee was awesome!! The night before I had to leave town for work, I reached out to Renee to see if she had availability last minute to swing by my house several times the following day to let my dog out. She was very quick to respond and very accommodating. I was supposed to return back in town around 11pm that night but my flight was delayed to where I would not be landing till 2am. I went into panick but Renee saved the day and was able to check on my dog later that night. Thank you Renee SO much!! I highly recommend her pet sitting services!! She's great!!

About Laura

6 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
I have been running my own pet sitting business for over five years. I have experience working with a lot of different breeds of animals. I have experience working with animals that need medications that include pills, drops, powders, and injections. I have worked with animals of all ages but most of my clients have elderly animals who require more care and attention. A typical day will resemble the schedule you have established with your pet as closely as possible. Let's say you feed your pet at 7am in the morning then let them outside to run around which is normally followed by play time and then usually nap time as they are tired out and then dinner at 4pm. They will receive lots of care and attention throughout the day and will be let outside as much as needed for your pet's needs. I have been doing this for a few years now and I have never received any complaints or had a bad review. I always require a meet and greet to make sure that I am a good match for your family.

About Nancy

35 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
I have loved pets my entire life starting with dogs, and cats. I have also lived with and cared for Macaws and other types of birds, rabbits, turtles and fish. I currently have 2 dogs. My baby is a pit bull that has my entire heart. My other dog was my mothers dog. When my mother passed, I adopted her and she is now part of our family. Our day starts with a morning of a light breakfast then Frisbee play in the yard. After the afternoon nap, we may play in the sprinkler for a while to cool off after more Frisbee play. We normally cannot go into the yard without playing with the Frisbee first and foremost.
When you hire me to care for your pets, you are going to have the most caring and biggest lover of animals that you probably have ever met. I have been in the medical field for over 25 years caring for people only to learn that my heart belongs to pets and all animals. I carry dog food in my vehicle in case I see a stay that looks hungry and have used that food on numerous occasions.
I believe that ALL animals deserve love, compassion and understanding. Pets show unconditional love everyday in so many ways, I like to do the same for them.

I could not have found anyone as wonderful as Nancy. I left my sweet baby who just had eye surgery in the hands of Nancy and she was awesome. My dog loved her and she certainly eased my worries. She definitely loves her job and I highly recommend her.

Nancy is amazing! She is very flexible and helpful. Communication is quick and easy. She sends daily updates and photos of their adventures. My dogs love her and are as happy as can be when I return. I would highly recommend Nancy for your pet sitting needs. :)

About Mel

18 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
I am a Certified Pet Sitters! Licensed and bonded. I am first aid and CPR trained. That means I have taken a course and gone through extensive testing! We can go 'Mouth to Snout' if necessary! We have over 14 years of caring for other people's animals. And ALL types of animals too!

Our repeat parents tell us that as soon as they turn the corner, their 'furbabies' become animated. They eagerly jump out of the car and exhibit no anxiety when Mom/Dad leave. Large back yard with pool that we encourage those who like to swim, to do so. We are out there with them-they are never by themselves. We have a bit under 1/4 acre that is well maintained and dog friendly. WE do not kennel unless you request it. They have the run of the back yard and the first floor-always supervised.

Walking path in the neighborhood that we utilize for daily AM & PM walks and ball playing. On average-we do a mile, based on the dogs ability, two times a day, per dog. We have scheduled play time. All the activity insures that the guests feel happy and safe.
WE ONLY TAKE DOGS THAT HAVE BEEN 'FIXED'. We do take puppies-with a special charge, and we love large dogs!

WE HAVE A HOLIDAY FEE, SPRING BREAK, MEMORIAL DAY, THANKSGIVING, CHRISTMAS EVE, CHRISTMAS DAY, NEW YEARS EVE AND DAY.
And we charge by the day, not the night. The exception is if you pick up your pet before 9AM on the last day of the scheduled sit. For example, If you leave 1-1-ANY YEAR and return 1-7- ANY YEAR we consider that 7 days UNLESS on the 7th, you pick your 'babies' up before 9am on the 7th.

We ONLY consider last minute reservations under these conditions, (1) you must come for a meet-n-greet and, (2)you must bring your buddy for an hour sit-no charge.

I have an Associate who does our home visits, like care of cats and other pets-in your home. She is also background checked and bonded.
Talk to us about a custom quote if you have the need for this special service. As a rule it is $25 per visit, not per day.

My philosophy is, "I strive to replicate what your individual dog is used to in their own home. So, if your little one sleeps with you-they will sleep with me."

So, while you are on vacation-so is your pet! If I were dogs-I would want to be at WAGGSNPURRS!

Mel and Marilyn were both extremely professional. I felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in their hands!
Thanks so much for taking care of my dogboyz. I really appreciated the pictures and the note saying that they didn't behave badly (...even if it was probably just being kind....). Very professional and super-helpful. Highly recommend ++++
