1. Robin B.
“Robin made friends with our dogs immediately and they loved her! I think they were looking for her even after we got home. She made sure they didn't get too hot in this 90+ degree heat by making sure they had plenty of water and letting them in before it got late. Great experience!”

“We love Isabella! Our little funny farm is in great hands every time. She even helps with some things for the house like collecting packages that are delivered.”
5. Hannah Y.
“Hello! Hannah is my niece, she lived with us for a while and would help take care of our dogs and cats. She is so good with animals. She would take our dogs to the park, helped bathe them, and would even let the sleep with her at night. I really think they preferred her over everyone in the house lol. She is kind, compassionate, and just naturally has a care givers heart. She has helped us many times not only with our animals, but also my son (her little cousin). She is the first person I think of when it comes to our pups needing a sitter.”

7. Colleen B.
“Colleen stayed at our house and looked after our dog while we were out of town over a long weekend. It’s clear that she knows and loves animals. Our dog bonded with her instantly and we couldn’t be happier with her services. She is punctual, courteous, and thoughtful. We highly recommend her and hope she will look after Roadie again. A+”

About: I have had dogs and cats in my family all my life and absolutely love them. I love to get outside and make them active, happy, and healthy.

14. Sara H.
“Sara is great with animals! She often cares for our 3 cats by herself for weeks at a time, no complaints from me! She’s the kind of person to always care for animals when others may not. Constantly donating items/ money to shelters and care facilities. You know the person who always ends up finding the stray kittens or pregnant mother dog while out on a walk? That’s Sara and she always brings them home and makes sure they end up with loving homes. Idk how she does it! Hopefully she’ll be the one caring for my cats the rest of their lives while I’m away!”

18. Tatiana C.
“Tatiana is a very loving pet owner. She has one dog of her own and is always playing with him, taking him out, and taking silly photos of him. I have a deaf dog and a blind dog and whenever she comes over to see them they love her like no other. She helps my blind one around the house even though I reassure her that he’s okay she makes sure he gets where he needs. I would highly recommend her to take care of your pets. They will be in good hands.”
