4. Kathleen N.
“Kathleen has great detail in caring for my dogs. I appreciate her communication skills as well, as she keeps me updated on their behavior and if anything is unusual during her drip in visits.”
5. Bonnie K.
“Our first experience with Bonnie was great. I could tell my little girl kitty, Fitsy, was well cared for. Sometimes when we travel, she won't eat well and looks a little skinny when we return, and she's really needy. This trip, we returned, and she almost looks a little chubby. Instead of being really needy of affection, she was just happy to see us and seemed perfectly content. I'm so grateful to have found Bonnie and wholeheartedly recommend her.”
6. Alyson F.

8. Kasey L.
“Kasey is AWESOME! She is always very punctual, loving with my baby, considerate of his particular needs at the time, and thoughtful. She is a pleasure to talk with and so easy to coordinate with. I cannot recommend her enough!! We are so happy (and relieved) to have her on our dog pawrents side.”
9. Erin H.
“Erin is the absolute sweetest and loves animals. I have a dog with behavioral issues, and Erin has been able to stop in and let her out and play with her with no problems. She truly cares about our furry friends and would be a great choice to give yours the love and time they deserve!”
10. Eunae L.
“Eunae did a great job looking after our cat. We were very pleased with the care he received. She was easy to communicate and plan with and responsive to all our needs. The reports on him were comprehensive and we loved hearing stories and seeing photos of our cat. We will use her again!”
11. Lauren M.
“Lauren was an excellent pet sitter for our two cats! She communicated really well and was flexible which we appreciated a lot. Our two cats felt comfortable and enjoyed her company!”
12. Michela L.
“Michela is a true animal whisperer. She has a clear connection to any dog she meets, they love and respond to her gentle, yet firm style. With her particular knack for training, I’ve witnessed many pups achieve their best behavior. And the best part? The dogs are thrilled about it. Michela truly understands animals - helping to ease anxiety, encourage good habits, navigate healthy diets, you name it. She’s a wonderful human and a joy to work with. I couldn’t recommend someone more.”
13. Colleen B.
“Colleen has been very helpful in walking our older dog with special needs. She has been very kind and considerate for him and also very reliable. Would definitely recommend, and we will continue to call on Colleen whenever we have need.”
14. Sharon C.
“We’ve got very tough kitties that require medication and hide. Given that, our expectations are adjusted. Upon short notice, Sharon was able to care for our kitties. Sharon was unable to give one of our kitties an insulin shot one evening due to hiding under the bed. She communicated this to us real-time. She waited at the visit to attempt again. Upon receiving response, she used new techniques in her next visit with success. She sent photos. Prior to the visit she came by to meet our cats and see the routine. All in all we were very happy with her support.”
15. Jillian E.
“I would highly recommend Jillian to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to walk or care for their pet. She cared for our dogs as if they were her own.”
16. Christa F.
“Christa is great with dogs and has taken care of my two very high energy Australian shepherd and cattle dog. She is good at communication and gave us lots of updates via photo on how our pups did while we were away. Highly recommend!”
17. Audrey L.
“Audrey is one of the most dedicated, loving and caring person i know, whether it is in her work or personal life. I wouldn't hesitate to let anything I own or anyone I love in her responsible care. It doesn't take long to see that Audrey is that kind of "dog person" who just gets it: she is attentive to what the others need (owners and dogs), she knows how to be firm when required, she pays attention to details in everything she does, while knowing how to have lots of fun!”
18. Zoe C.
“I have worked with Zoe in the past and have only good things to say. She is prompt and responsible, and dedicated to doing a great job. When my dog was under Zoe's care, she was communicative and responsive and I always felt confident that my dog was comfortable and happy.”
19. Natalie M.
“Natalie is that person who just naturally attracts your dogs, and cats too. She's a gentle soul who is patient and kind. She's efficient in administering medication and making sure it's done on time.”
