11. Jurnee W.

“Jurnee watched our house and 9 fur babies for a few days, and was AMAZING! There was a hard freeze while we were gone, so she was having to deal with the aftermath of frozen pipes on top of taking care of our kiddos. She sent us photos and updates of our dogs, cats, and goats every morning and night, and treated them like they were her own. We so appreciate everything she did for us, and highly recommend her! Thank you so much, Jurnee!”

About: I’m compassionate about humans and animals, have a very giving heart, why Emmy Dog is a rescue and has been my whole world for years now!:) I’m recently semi retired from corporate America so have ample flexible time to work with and care for your fur babies on your particular schedule!:) Emmy Dog is more well behaved than some toddlers from the consistent care she’s received from me over the last few years she’s been with me!:)


17. Kaleigha W.
“had the absolute pleasure of working with my sister Kaleigha n a recent project that involved handling some of the most well-behaved, but sometimes challenging, dogs. I’ve always known she had a special connection with animals, but seeing her in action was truly impressive. There was a situation where a dog got a little too excited during a witness testimony session, and things could’ve easily spiraled. But Kaleigha handled it with such calm and confidence, not only soothing the dog but also keeping everything running smoothly. Her patience and understanding with the dogs are unmatched, and it's clear she truly cares about their well-being. She has a natural gift, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with in that environment. Whether it's managing a tricky situation or just giving the dogs the attention they need, kaleigha knows exactly how to make everything come together beautifully. It’s always a joy working alongside her, and I’m proud to call her not just my sister, but a true professional when it comes to working with dogs.”


18. Audrey W.
“Audrey is very dependable and reliable. She's amazing with all animals and she will give them all the attention and love plus more. I'd rate her as a five star.”


19. Melissa M.
About: I've taken care of many animals, including dogs and cats. I'm experienced with all sizes of dogs and even have a pet friendly home with my own dog. I'm currently not working so I can put a lot of hours into this. I'm a hard working and watchful sitter who loves playing with animals and caring for them. I live in an apartment so I don't have a yard but I do walk daily and would love a chance to meet other dogs.
