6. Betsy H.
“Betsy is a true professional, while still being very approachable, for both dogs, and their owners! If your dog stays at her home (as mine did), it's a very calm and quiet place with plenty of woods and trails, leading to lots of walks and tail-wags. Betsy cares deeply for the dogs in her care, and is fully trustworthy!”

8. Kristen E. W.
“Outstanding job by Kristen! She did a meet greet, asked all the right questions, very experienced with her own active dog as well as vet tech. My dog is ball obsessed, she fully understands that activity level and was excellent working with my dog. My dog was a happy camper after the visit. I would highly recommend Kristen, she is a good listener, communicator!”

10. Carson B.
About: I worked at an animal hospital for five years before joining the military and moving around the world! I separated from the military early 2021 and I now work full time from home! I have one dog who is quiet and minds her own business. I love animals and would love to put your mind at ease with who you are leaving your fur babies with. I have a big fenced in yard but also I take my dog out for walks multiple times a day so she can get proper exercise. And if you choose me to take care of your animals I will definitely do the same. I am home all day so if you need me to come to your house more I can. I look forward to working with you! Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and ensuring they receive the best care possible. Throughout the week, I make time for regular walks, play sessions, and any specific needs like feeding, administering medication, or maintaining a comfortable environment for each pet. I approach each day with flexibility, adapting to the unique needs of each animal, whether it’s an energetic dog needing a long walk or a more laid-back pet that just wants some company. My schedule allows me to be attentive and responsive, ensuring that every pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for while they’re with me. In my home, I provide a safe, welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I ensure they have a cozy space to rest, plenty of water, and regular feeding times to keep them on their routine. For dogs, I make sure to include playtime in a secure yard or walks in the neighborhood to keep them active and entertained. I also offer individualized attention, giving each pet the love and care they need. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I respect their space and follow the care instructions provided closely. This includes feeding routines, medication administration, and maintaining a familiar environment for the pet. I make sure to engage in play or walks as needed, ensuring the pet is happy and content while their owner is away. My goal is to make each visit as smooth as possible, providing peace of mind for both the pet and their owner.
11. Christianne H.
“Christie has watched my two small dogs-Mochi and Miso- several times. She showers them with love, plays with them, ensures they get plenty of exercise and shares photos and updates with me. I appreciate how she treats them as her own.”
12. Laura H.
“Laura was amazing with my dog Sammy while I was away. I have known her for about 3 years now and in the beginning I would leave a note out for everything that needed to be done and she caught on very quickly. Hell, she would even clean up around the house even when I didn’t expect that of her. She was always active with Sammy and he would love it when she came over. I would check in and she would send me the best photos of him at the park! I moved away recently so both of us are very sad she can’t watch Sammy for me, but he sure did love his time with her.”
13. Kayla L.
“Kayla was awesome!! She really helped us on short notice and went out of her way to meet us the day before as we requested. Highly recommend and would request her help again!”
14. Ashley D.

17. Theresa C.
“Theresa was wonderful and took great care of our four leged friends!”
18. Trie M.
“Trie is a kind gentle person who truly loves animals and places their health and happiness first while in her care. She’s trustworthy and my dogs adore her. Chloe my blind pug loves her walks, Trie always ensures she gets a daily walk and lots of attention. Whenever I’m planning a trip I always call Trie first to make sure she’s available because I know I can relax knowing she’s taking care of my puppies.”
19. Sharon S.
“Sharon was able to take care of our three dogs last minute when our original sitter canceled on us. She was amazing! She sent pictures after every visit and made sure to spoil them all! One of ours is especially difficult at times, but she seemed to have no problems! I highly recommend!”
20. Kendra L.
“Kendra has been an 'animal lover' for her entire life. From her cat, Odin, to her chickens (too many to name) and her dog for the past 13 years, Lily who is without any doubt 'HER' dog. Kendra is responsible, reliable and a joy to be around. I wouldn't hesitate to put my trust in her.”
