1. Paula S.
“Could Paula get any better? It’s impossible. In two visits she has our crazy puppy minding on leash and exhausted for the remainder of the day. Paula even helped source some strategic training in our immediate area. We are feeling blessed to know Paula and appreciate her patience and loving persistence with sweet, crazy Sophie!”

6. Maire H.
“Maire is a wonderful young lady. She cares so much for animals, so much so that she is vegan. Her love for animals is testified in her contributions to studying and saving the environment! Her love for animals is seen in her extra curricular activities, including being an equestrian who works with her barn to take care of the horses. There have been numerous times that I've relied on Maire to watch my dogs and cats for me, and she does so wonderfully!! She will be a wonderful dog sitter, I know from personal experience, as well as my knowledge of Maire as a person!”

She's always been incredibly loving and caring towards animals, so much so, that I wouldn't have anyone else dogsit for me when I'm out of town.”

14. Thomas B.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs since I was 14. I was a free-lance dog walker for my neighborhood so I’ve had plenty of experience with many kinds of dogs! I work part-time so I’ll be able to take care of your pups as long as I’m not working. Mondays are the best day for me to take care of pets. I have plenty of toys to keep your pups busy as well as my own dog, Tucker, to keep them company! I will play with them and give them as much attention and love as I can.
15. Jordan L.
“Thanks so much for taking care of Henry for the day! Thanks for keeping me in the loop with regular updates.”
16. Lauren L.
“Lauren was very sweet and nice. She plays ball with my boy with I appreciate because he loves to fetch. She’s reliable and trustworthy!”
17. Olivia H.
“Olivia is trustworthy and dependable. She has many years of experience around dogs and horses and is reliable beyond measure. Based on the way I’ve seen her treat my dog, she will care for your pet as if it’s her own.”
18. Trinity G.
About: I grew up on a farm, caring for the animals everyday. I've had a pretty wide range of experience, from bunnies, ferrets, cows, chickens, to cats, dogs, snakes, fish, etc. Always making sure they all had their needs met and ofcourse couldn't leave without giving my affection too. I had a seasonal job that recently ended and I also just moved. So while trying to figure out my next steps, in the meantime I figured pet caring would be the perfect plan. I know what to do and I'd be available whenever by putting this job as a priority. Caring for your pet in your home, I will have access to all that you usually do with them and I can make sure I do the same process. That way, they get no more anxiousness from the change without you home, and they're getting the same care that you as their parent would do.
19. Ai C.
“Ai has been an amazing dog walker as well as an incredibly helpful individual for me. I recently was in an accident and am suffering from broken ribs & having Ai’s help is invaluable. Ai has always been punctual, takes amazing care of both my dogs and has even helped me out around my house without hesitation like taking out trash. She’s warm, friendly, professional, dependable, self starter who is a lovely person. I truly can’t say enough good things about her!!”
20. Olive G.
“Olive is one of the most caring and empathic person I know. Having cared for pets her whole life, she has shown patience, responsibility and love to all animals she has been in contact with. Always conscientious about doing a job correctly, Olive follows directions closely and is not shy about asking questions to perform her job at the highest level. She has been a caregiver her whole life and has turned her passion for helping others( humans and animals) into a career. I recommend her highly!”
