1. Antonio & Janay W.
“I have used Antonio several times and he has always done an amazing job! My dogs absolutely love him, as he treats them better than any service or person I’ve ever used previously. Antonio is always more than professional and hyper aware during the current COVID-19 pandemic. If you are looking for a dependable, trustworthy, animal loving pet sitter/dog walker, look no further! My only regret is that Antonio is no longer local enough to assist us with coco and yummi!”


2. Dawn L.

“Dawn was wonderful with our dogs while we were away. Quincy and Zoey just loved her. They were so relaxed with her. I would highly recommend her. I would definitely have her watch my dogs again.”


3. Leilani W.
“Lani always took care of my dog while I was away! He has since passed, but she was always entrusted with his care! He had a very regimented medicine schedule (3 times a day) and she was available and able to take care off each one when I was traveling or just not able to get home for it. She stayed the night in my apartment with him as well, and always left it cleaner than she found it ! She’s a wonderful pet sitter and a true animal lover. I will definitely be using her in the future when I’m ready for another pet!”


4. Alex K.

“I recently had the pleasure of having Alexandra come to my home to take care of my golden retriever, and 2 maine coons. We went on a 5 day vacation and Alex took great care of my home and fur-babies, she sent lots of pictures, and responded to text immediately. She fed the animals on time and kept the litter boxes clean, I came home to a clean house and happy pets. Thank you Alex! I will definitely be contacting you for our next vacation.”


5. Noreen T.
About: I have worked as an animal sitter since graduating from college in 2010. We lost our two adopted dogs this year at the ripe old ages of 17 and 14 and have not brought any new indoor pets into our home. I have volunteered with animals and worked in a veterinary setting with large animals (horses mostly!) I graduated with a degree in animal sciences. I am well equipped for special needs dogs with a large dog stroller and wheelchair! I work outside of the home 4 days a week and am home Friday through Sunday to spend as much time with your pet as they need! I love to run, so if you have a high-energy dog, then reach out to me! We can wear each other out. Our home is dog friendly with a large fenced in yard with indoor access for dogs that prefer to make their own indoor/outdoor schedule. We love to have pups and cats snuggle on the couch with us or play in our large yard. We have farm animals, lots of new smells and places to explore!

We will be using her again in the future and highly recommend her for taking care of your babies!”

19. Brendon R.
“I have a larger breed of dog, German shepherd, and not many private pet sitters will take him on. Brendon actually saw my request on social media and seeing he had Rottweilers I knew he’d be great with my Moose. After we all met moose was obsessed with him, he was able to keep up with his high energy and playfulness. I would absolutely recommend Brendon to anyone with any breed of dog!”
