7. Candida L.
“My girls are my world. Candy makes me at ease knowing my girls are well taken care of and happy. Plenty of room to run and the attention she pays to them while I’m gone is amazing. She keeps me updated on how they are doing and what their day is like. Most of the time my dogs don’t want to leave they enjoy spending time with her family and dogs. If you need someone to care for your dogs highly recommend booking her. She even keeps the schedule you have at home at hers while they are there.”

10. Matthew N.
“Matt was great with our dog, Lillie. While we were away, he visited her three times a day. He provided a morning and evening potty break and a nice afternoon walk to exercise her. He was good about keeping to her schedule and routine. Lillie enjoyed playing with him and looked forward to each of his visits. We will definitely call Matt again next time we are away.”
11. Stella N.
About: I have always been a huge animal lover for as long as I can remember. I love playing with pets, and keeping them company. The thing I love most about dogs is that their so genuine, and sweet. I especially like to train pups! I am basically living my life around pets! So that means, always finding the time in taking care of animals, because like small children, they need to be watched over, and looked after. I’m very courteous when entering a new home, and I really like to establish what is called “a sitter-to-dog-to owner relationship, where the owner(s) feel like they can trust me, and their dog or dogs feel like they can too.
12. Anna R.
About: Grew up on a farm. I’ve always had a love for all animals. I’ve had my own cat for almost 10 years and I’ve had dogs for 7 years. I work out of the house 4 days a week for 8-9 hours. Weekends are available for boarding. Evenings are for walking or fetch in the yard. Large fenced in backyard. I have a large more playful dog and a medium couch potato. The entire home is pet friendly with the exception of my daughter’s room which is the cat’s sanctuary.
13. Matthew E.
“Matthew has been providing in-home pet sitting services to my beloved Pitbulls for over two years, and I couldn't be more satisfied with his care and dedication. Matthew is not just a pet sitter; he is a true animal lover. From the moment he first met my Pitbulls, he demonstrated his genuine affection and understanding of their unique needs and personalities. His commitment to their well-being is evident in everything he does. What makes Matthew stand out is his unwavering dependability and trustworthiness. I have complete peace of mind knowing that my Pitbulls are in his capable hands. He has never missed an appointment, and I can always count on him to follow my specific care instructions diligently. Matthew's kindness and patience with animals are truly commendable. He has a natural ability to connect with dogs, and my Pitbulls absolutely adore him. His gentle demeanor and positive interactions have created a strong bond between him and my pets. In addition to his caring nature, Matthew is also extremely responsible and proactive. He goes above and beyond by ensuring that my Pitbulls receive proper exercise, nutrition, and companionship during his visits. I have seen a positive impact on their overall well-being since Matthew started caring for them. I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew for any pet sitting services. He is a reliable, compassionate, and dedicated individual who will treat your pets with the same love and care that he has shown to my Pitbulls.”
14. Joanie D.
“Joanie was excellent with our pups! We did a meet and greet beforehand, as one of our girls can be a little anxious around new people, but she warmed up to Joanie right away! During the visit, she sent updates and photos which we appreciated. All around great experience!”
15. Olivia H.
“Olivia did a great job with our pets!”
16. Marsha Z.
“My dog LOVES her visits with Marsha! I get lots of pictures & an update on the days events. My big girl gets to play, explore, be goofy & get her energy out- just what she needs on the days I'm gone. We both give a big paws up for Marsha!”

About: I have taken dog CPR and am an EMT. I had a miniature schnauzer growing up for the first 20-plus years of my life. I recently adopted my dog in Sept 2023. I work full-time as a first responder with a rotating schedule. Any day I am not working I am free to assist in taking care of your pets. I will treat your pets like I treat mine. I do not allow my dog on furniture at my house but am willing to follow any rules you have in your house.
18. Kailey D.
“Kailey is awesome! She’s everything you’d want in a sitter/walker, from her great communication skills, kind heart, and reliability towards you and your fur baby! I’ve seen her amazing pet interactions first hand with my own fur baby BoBo. She’s so incredibly caring towards him, and I appreciate her assistance with him so very much. He often has to wear doggy diapers due to bladder problems, and Kailey is always so diligent in not only changing his diapers, but ensuring that he doesn’t have to rely on them when I can’t be home for periods of time. She loves taking him on walks and giving him potty breaks to better accommodate him. She’s super responsive and will definitely accommodate for your pup in any way. She’s just as great with cats as well, such an amazing animal lover with a large heart!”
