“Jen was fantastic! She took our lab Derek for a walk everyday and even trained him how to walk while on a harness. Something we hadn’t been able to do for years! Very accommodating and when we needed her to come by an extra time there was no hesitation to help us out. If you need someone to help out with your dog while you are away , you will not find anther person more caring, loving or helpful with your “Rover” than Jen!”


2. Kaity G.
“I was going on vacation and needed someone to watch my dog and I was worried I would have to leave some place that would just have in her a kennel all week. Then I heard about Kaity, she did such an awesome job. I could tell she played with my dog and gave her the love she was use to receiving at home. I was meaning to give her a bath before leaving but was unable and Kaity bathed her for me. I was so thankful I would totally use her again. If you're needing someone to watch your dog I implore you to use Kaity she will give your dog what they are use to for sure.”

“Marissa did a great job with my crazy golden retriever, Huck! She was very prompt and did a great job with him despite the fact that he can be a bit of a puller. She was very accommodating and willing to take him on a jog because he has so much energy!”

“Olivia is a very kind, compassionate and responsible person. She is very respectful to all. I have no doubt she will take good care of your pet.”


6. Kimberly A.
“I can not thank kim alden enough for watching my dog for a few months till we were able to bring him back up north with us. She is kind, loving with any animal you have.. I was so luck to have her in my life to care for my baby. She loved him as if he was hers. ( she also wanted to keep him as her own .”


7. Eden B.

“Eden was just what we needed to help cover a gap in our schedules. Our dog Carson is strong-willed and strong bodied at 40lbs of solid muscle. Eden had no problem handling both aspects. Carson walked further for longer and put herself straight to bed from exhaustion every night. She truly enjoyed her walks with Eden almost more than she enjoys walking with us! That speaks volumes for Eden’s care and skill in giving our girl the quality exploration and exercise time she needs. Will definitely use Eden again for future needs.”


8. Courtney W.
About: I've had and cared for animals my entire life, mostly dogs as well as cats. From Shih tzus to Great Danes, puppies/kittens to senior pets- I'm comfortable with breeds of all shapes, sizes, and all life stages. Pets are family, and as a mother of 2 (humans :)) also, I understand the importance of being responsible for others' well-being. I would love to be there for your fur babies! Currently I'm working from home part time with a flexible schedule. I can be available during the day as well as evenings and weekends, depending on the day/week. Unfortunately I'm not able to offer overnight stays at this time. I am happy to walk/let out, play, feed, pet, and just show some love to your beloved pet(s). As someone who has dealt with sick pets, I'm comfortable administering medications, including ones that might require injections.

12. Amber E.
About: I’ve taken care of and had dogs since I was 6 years old. I dog sit for family members and close family friends on occasion. I love going on walks and enjoy having a furry buddy to go with me. I have two of my own dogs and they are well trained. One is younger and super energetic and the other is a bit older and requires a bit more attention when it comes to moving around. I’m currently working part time. Mostly on the weekends since I am a college student . But I can do the occasional weekday when available I am very respectful when it comes to being in another persons home. I will treat your home with the utmost care by making sure to clean up after the dog(s) and treating your fur babies like I treat my own.

14. Skylar K.
About: Hi! I’m Skylar, I’m a high school graduate, and I’ve been caring for animals since I was 14 and even for my own animals before then. I’ve volunteered at vets so I know basic animal health, and I am flexible with dates and timings to fit your needs(: I currently nanny Tuesday through Thursdays from 9-1 and I pickup other small jobs at a coffee shop on off days. But with that I am flexible to care for your pet whenever you need me, weather it’s staying in your home or dropping in for check ins. I offer to stay in your home or drop in for check ins when needed. When doing so I am sure to love on your animal and play with them as much as they’d like and I am respectful of your home and your belongings. I always make sure to clean up after myself and leave a home better than I found it so that pet owners can return home to a clean place and a happy pet.
