1. JENNA S.
“Jenna is the most trusted, dedicated and loving parent when it comes to her 3 dogs. The amount of love, time and effort she gives to them is simply unparalleled. I believe any dog or pet for that matter would be incredibly lucky to have Jenna care for them. As far as the owners go, I can assure you they would feel assured and have no worries when they have someone as passionate about animals as Jenna is.”


2. Mary C.
“Mary is an amazing pet sitter! You can tell she cares because she shares photos, updates you on how they're doing, and asks questions for clarification to ensure she provides your pet with the best care! Mary has dogs of her own, and she loves them like her children. Mary is reliable - come rain, snow, sleet, hail, she shows up - which is always important when leaving your pets in anyone's hands! 10/10 would recommend her to care for dogs, cats, fishies, you name it!”


3. Julia L.
“Julia is a very responsible person and is very well seasoned with dogs. I have 2 dogs and she watches them whenever I leave town. I have a vacation planned this summer and already have her set up to watch my pups. I always feel comfortable that they are in good hands when she has them. She sends me pictures of them and is very involved. I would recommend her to anyone in need of service.”




4. Sydney T.
“Sydney was an awesome caretaker for our pup. She was extremely enthusiastic and reliable, allowing us to keep up with our busy schedules. Riley (our lab-terrier) loves her and so do we!”


5. Makayla G.

“We love Makayla for our dog! She is super kind and very responsive! My dog is already excited when we mention her for walks! I was super stressed at first because we have a very reactive dog and after the 1st walk my nerves calmed. I also love how she pays attention to details when we get our walk card, our dog has a very sensitive stomach so getting details about how often he has a bm and even more details regarding his bm are extremely helpful when it comes to keeping him regulated!”


6. Emma R.

“Emma was friendly, communicative, punctual, and flexible with our schedule for engagement photos. Barnaby took to her right away and was pretty upset when he realized she wasn't coming with us for the whole day.”




7. Maeve L.

“Thank you, Maeve for giving Pico so much love and attention on your first visit with him. You were so respectful and attentive to all our specific instructions for pampering our boy. We are grateful and can’t wait to have you back again soon 🐾💕”


8. Christina G.
“Christina adores her orange tabby kitty. He’s enjoyed living with her for an amazing fifteen and a half years so far. Since he’s geriatric with a few health issues, Christina ensures he gets his daily medicine, keeps him well hydrated and fed, and makes sure he has plenty of toys to play with and cozy spots to relax in. As much as she would like more animals, she knows her cats personality well enough to know he would be happiest in a single pet home. Christina has watched my two cats while I’ve gone on vacations before. Each time, I’ve had no issues. The litter boxes were clean, she fed them as directed (I had very specific instructions since my one cat had kidney disease, was on a prescription diet, and liked his food warmed up with a little water mixed in), and she always sent me pictures and videos since she knew I missed them so much. You can trust your fur babies with her!”


9. Michelle M.

“Michelle is absolutely wonderful with Lucille. My 3 year old Bloodhound. I work a few long days every week. On those days Michelle come in for walks with Lucille.she is very dependable and trustworthy. Highly recommend.. I am so happy we found her!”


10. Jared M.
“Jared would be the perfect person to care for you fur baby. He kind, gentle and reliable. I would not hesitate to have him care for my dogs. I highly recommend Jared. I promise you will be happy you chose him to care for animals.”


11. Jessica F.

“Jessica has been an excellent dog walker, sitter, and over all pet person. She is very reliable and loving to my golden retriever Canela. Appreciate her taking care of my baby.”


12. Sara L.
“Sara is a wonderful dog mom. She cares deeply about her pups and would do anything for them. That translates to her friends' animals, as well. It's very obvious when you see her with animals that she's comfortable around them and cares about their well-being. She is always gentle and loving toward them. I would trust her with my kids, both furry and otherwise!”


13. Melissa P.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since the age of 12. I have dog sat for many relatives, and I take extremely good care of my beagle! I currently only have one class a day at college, so I have plenty of free time, I also love going on walks, and would love for a furry friend to join me! My full focus is on the safety of the dog. They are like my babies. I will do whatever it takes to keep them safe, happy and healthy.


14. Maddison A.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine passion for animal care and my commitment to creating a safe, loving environment for every pet. I have hands-on experience with both cats and dogs, including walking high-energy breeds and providing gentle care for senior pets. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether that means extra playtime, calm companionship, or following a specific routine. I also pride myself on being reliable and communicative, giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I work part-time as an intern, leaving lots of time to spend with your pets. As a college student, I love the escape of spending time with animals and enjoy taking care of them. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel loved and cared for, as that makes such a difference in their quality of life! I have experience administering medications and am comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a senior companion, or has specific care requirements, I ensure they receive the attention and support they need. Your pet's happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities!

About: I’m a part-time esthetician and devoted dog lover, ready to shower your pup with the same care, love, and attention I give to my clients! I’m currently working part-time in the evening, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pet during the day! Available: Monday & Wednesday 7am-5pm I can board or watch your dog in their own personal home, providing loving care, playtime, and cuddles to ensure they feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away.

20. Mckayla W.
“I worked with McKayla at our previous veterinary job, and we've been great friends since. I know that I can ask her for help with my animals no matter what is going on, and she'll always be willing to lend a hand! I have a physically disabled dog, and she's honestly the only person that I can trust to care for her properly, and put her all into making her comfortable and adjusting to her needs. She is so knowledgeable about so many different types of animals, and I trust her completely!”
