“I don't have enough words to describe how incredible Jay was with my kids. She was caring, attentive, reliable, communicative and consistent to name a few. I feel so thankful to have come across her profile and to have her in my tribe for my fur babies. 10/10 would recommend anyone book her and will absolutely be rebooking her in the future. I received pictures and updates throughout each day AND received a full album of stunning pictures that she'd taken on her professional camera as well. Just truly a gem! Thank you so much, Jay!!”

12. Thomas K.
About: I have a husky that I take care of on a daily bases as well as a cat. I have had animals all of my life! Whenever a neighbor or friend is out of town, they rely on my to take good care of their pets. I work Monday thru Friday, but I am available on weekdays before 6 am and after 4 pm, along with any time on the weekends. I always make sure to watch any pets so they don't get in to trouble and play with them at the same time. Pet safety is #1.
13. Veronica W.
“Veronica has always been great with animals. Ever since she was a kid, she’s taken care of all kinds — dogs, cats, turtles, birds, and even insects. She really loves them and knows how to handle them with care. She’s watched my pets before — both cats and dogs — and took amazing care of them. They were happy, well-fed, and I knew they were in good hands. After college, she even worked at Woodford Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge, where she helped care for owls, turtles, and other wildlife, which says a lot about her knowledge and how much people trust her. She’s super responsible, kind, and you can tell she truly loves animals. I’d absolutely trust her with any pet, and anyone who hires her is lucky to have her.”
14. Katalina S.
