1. Kim B.
“I am so grateful to have found Kim to visit and walk my Great Dane. I’m relieved to have found such dependable and thoughtful care for my dog.”
2. Olivia B.
“Olivia has been such a blessing to help break up the day for my newly rescued pup, Woody. She is kind, patient, friendly, responsive and is a great communicator. She takes her time with Woody never seemingly rushing or overwhelming him. She takes his ques when he’s anxious on walks and wants to return home pivoting to a play session out back or inside with his toys and giving me a debriefing. I was anxious about utility Roover at first with some friends poor experiences. My anxiety quickly disappeared after a brief FaceTime to connect prior to Woodys first walk. Woody and I certainly got lucky with finding Olivia to be apart of our days/weeks. Thank you Olivia for being you, we are truly grateful for you.”
3. Katie G.
“Katie has been excellent in the first few weeks I have been working with her. She was incredibly patient getting to know my dog, who is a bit anxious, and has been flexible and accommodating as we work out a schedule that suits us both (and the pup)!”
4. Linda H.
“Linda fed and took care of my cats from time to time over a 3 year period. She always did a great job and would highly recommend her services if you’re in need of someone to watch/feed your cat or pets.”
5. Callie B.
“Callie has been amazing at caring for my older nearly 15 yr old Dutch Shepherd, Methos. Normally picking about who walks him/feeds him/gives his meds, Methos warmed up to her within 1 day. Callie's extra care and consideration for his progressing medical needs has assured me Methos is safe and in good hands.”
6. Robert V.
“Rebel seems to have had a good experience, thanks for walking him!”
7. Chenais B.
“Chenais has been such an amazing help to our (almost) 2year old chocolate lab Irish! She is so sweet and caring and I can tell how much Irish loves being with her! She always leaves a detailed report card after his walks and includes such cute pictures to go along with them! We would absolutely recommend her!”
8. Susan P.
About: I adore my dog Max he’s my best friend and companion. I love the outdoors and nature. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, birds and horses for 20+ years. Leaving your pet with someone you don’t know takes a lot of trust. Please know I will take care of your pet as if they were my own. I am able to give medication, supplements and subcutaneous fluids. I am available during the week, weekends and holidays. Morning, afternoon and early evening. I will work with your schedule to make it convenient for you and your pet. Safety is very important to me especially when I leave my own pet with a sitter. I will follow all instructions concerning your pets health and safety and update you regularly.
9. Shay S.
“Shay is an incredibly responsible person. Our family has trusted her with our 2 huskies for many years. We have had her watch the dogs for a week at a time in our home several times. She treats them like her own and is always reliable.”
10. Brenna L.
“Brenna has been the most wonderful, kind, and patient caregiver for animals for most of her life. She has cared for kittens, adult cats, puppies, and adult dogs. She has provided basic training for my dogs and takes care of them whenever I need her to. I highly recommend Brenna for all your pet sitting needs.”
11. Madeleine G.
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life. I trained my dog when she was a puppy, have given her medications, taken care of her when she was sick, etc. Additionally, when I was fifteen, I started fostering previously abused but rescued dogs from shelters. I would rehabilitate them and care for them until they were ready to find their permanent home. Sometimes, this would only take a couple of weeks, but some of the most difficult cases would take over a year to rehabilitate the dogs enough to get them ready. However, while I was fostering, I had a 100% success rate and can say that I know how to give dogs the care they need and deserve based on their individual needs and personalities. My schedule is very flexible! I’m currently working part-time, so I have a lot of extra time for pet care. The mornings and early afternoons work better for me but I would be available seven days a week. As someone with lots of dog experience, I can easily adjust to what your dog needs based on their home environment. If you do not have a fenced in yard, I can easily walk your dog on a leash. If you are looking for dog walks, I can easily do that! If you would like me to feed your dog during the day, that is also something that I can do. I can follow instructions well and will do whatever you think is best for your dog!
12. Destiny R.
About: Ive taken care of dogs for about three years now working at McOsker Kennels, I’ve worked with aggressive dogs, old and with dog that need medicine, there’s been a few dogs I’ve worked with that couldn’t be with other dogs and now they play in the yard with five or more furry friends, they were also afraid of people getting close and now they run up to whoever is in the yard with them, making a difference is what I strive to do especially if it mean they will have a better, happier life. I’m currently a part-time college student, I can schedule days off when needed, I’m usually free until 2 or after 12, even then my schedule is very flexible and it will allow me to do boarding on weekends when needed I can dog sit/house sit, I follow the instructions of the parent to insure their furry friend is well taken care of, I can take them on long walks or even to an open field to play.
13. Samuel & Enora S.
“Sam has provided thoughtful and attentive care to numbers of dogs and cats in his lifetime. He has a large home in a safe, quiet neighborhood, with a nice yard that would be fun for dogs to enjoy! He’s owned and babysat numerous breeds; golden retrievers, boston terriers, huskies, and border collies. He’s very comfortable accommodating the needs of any animals whether they want to hike a mountain or snuggle on the couch. He’s also cared for senior dogs who needed medication, had mobility issues, etc. In addition to this, he’s also fostered litters of kittens for the SPCA and would make a great cat sitter as well!”
14. Keeley N.
“Juneau seems to enjoy Keeley. It was warm enough that she got a bit tired, so Keeley cut the walk short as we requested. We’ll try again soon!”
15. Isabella B.
“Bella is caring and dedicated! As a pet owner, she was one of the first people we trusted with our few month old puppy. She will love your pet like it was her own!”
16. Chelsea B.
“Chelsea has been a trusted sitter/walker of my pup Clifford for the past 8 months now and I have nothing but positive things to say about her. She keeps Clifford moving whether it is playing or going on walks so at night he sleeps like a baby. She is very perceptive and can tell quickly when his mood changes. She has a very loving personality naturally and it is clear that she has grown up caring for animals. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their fur babies.”
17. Kathryn M.
“Kathryn was a blessing to meet, and a joy to have as a walker, for my dog Juice. An owner of pitties, she handled him perfectly, even though he likes to pull. I look forward to hiring her again. As I'm sure, there will be more walks in future. Thank you so much for your time and dedication”
18. Viviana C.
“Viviana is wonderful, I knew her from previous experience and interaction with my dog. She is timely in her walks and I know she is patient with my guy who loves to stop and sniff ALL the things, I am pretty sure he likes his walks with Viv because she lets him take his time outside! I love the pictures I get with each walk too!”
19. Kristen G.
“Kristen is very good with pets. She is always trying to help animals in need! She is the ultimate pet whisperer. I would highly recommend hiring her to help you and your pets!”
20. Melissa E.
“Melissa has helped us out with our sweet Kika girl several times and she’s reliable, timely and trustworthy! Thanks Melissa! 🐾”
