7. Steve & Tilaine G.
“Thank you so much for watching Grover. Nothing is better than bringing home a tired and cuddly puppy. I enjoyed talking with you both and I have to admit I had a little bit of a teary moment on my way home. The environment of your backyard with friends and family as well as just your welcoming energy reminded me so much of what it was like when my Uncle Ryan was still around. He passed unexpectedly in 2016, leaving behind my Aunt Krista and their two young girls, Claire was 7 and Hannah was 5. My aunt and uncle loved each other so deeply and enjoyed hosting family and friends regularly. I am extremely grateful that you reminded me of those memories I had forgotten about. Please continue to have people over and share these moments with each other! So again, thank you for proving a loving home for my puppy to stay while also bringing back some wonderful memories for me, even though it was unknowingly. Grover and I will 100% be back to visit again!”

“Our 10 week old puppy had a great time with Gina while we were gone for the day. She had a large fenced in yard for him to play in, lots of toys to help with his puppy energy and soft places for him to sleep! We are thankful he was taken good care of and gave us great peace of mind.”
15. Aniah P.
About: I have been volunteering at animal shelters for 4 years now, and I previously had an internship training golden retrievers. I have a 8 month husky puppy… so basically a raptor! Caring for animals fits seamlessly into my schedule since I have a dog at home, ensuring I'm always around and attentive. Your pets will receive the same love and attention as mine! While I do not offer care in my own home, I am always happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their spaces! I will always be respectful of boundaries and rules.
16. Christina S.
“I have known Christina since high school we are both huge animal people. She has always cared for her fur babies better than most and she has always taken care of friends and families fur babies when they leave town or just need a sitter. I trust this lady with my fur babies and I have trust issues , trust had to be built and maintenaned . Christina is a honest trustworthy person she has always been a good person would good values . She is an active person with her pup so she will be a good fur baby sitter/walker because she loves to do that stuff anyway especially with fur babies ☺️”
