11. 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.


12. Brad L.

“I am late to posting this but Brad is fantastic! He is a very friendly, playful, and personable person and the dogs know that and love him. He was great with our dogs and did not mind at all how excitable and jumpy our younger dog is when new people arrive to our house. He did more than just walk our dogs in their normal routine for them to do their business and get some fresh air but he also played with them, which we really appreciate. I highly recommend Brad to anyone looking for dogwalking and/or any help with their dogs. He is great and super trustworthy!”




13. Heather M.


“Heather is the absolute best dog walker we have ever had. She goes above and beyond on each visit, always staying longer than she needs to to make sure our dog is happy and taken care of. We trust her completely. She will even bring her own toys to help exercise our very active beagle. She sends adorable pictures and notes with each visit. Recently, she went back to our house after her scheduled visit to open windows because she was concerned the fumes from some floor staining would affect our animals! She is very attentive and responds quickly to any questions or concerns we have. Her schedule is very flexible and accommodates whatever we need. You can tell she truly cares for all animals. We love Heather and recommend her without any reservation!!”


14. Sarah L.

“Sarah did an amazing job with my dogs, Waffle and Ghost. She was very responsive and sent me photos of them during her visit. Highly recommend.”


15. Megan H.

“Megan is great! She took great care of our sweet girl and we will be booking with her again!”


16. Hadley L.

“Hadley was very responsive and great with my dog! I will definitely use her again.”


17. Veronica S.
About: I have had pet all my life, mainly cats and dogs, but I love all animals. I have taken care of my neighbors pets as well as family. Any age of pet I show the same love to. I currently lifeguard at my local pool and have a relatively flexible schedule to come take care of your pets. My shifts aren’t long so I can come check on your pet throughout the day. I have a very friendly dog at home which will help make your dog feel at home while you are gone. When I am in your home I will do anything to make them feel comfortable while you’re gone.


18. Angela M.
“I highly recommend Angela to all my family and friends. She is trustworthy, reliable and her love of all animals shows in every interaction. She is simply the best!”


19. Richard C.

“Richard was a big help walking my dog this past week. He is reliable and was good with my dog Tillie.”


20. Alexis G.
“Look no further! If you’re reluctant to leave your pets in someone else’s care, this is the sitter for you, hands down! Alexis has been a Godsend for our canines! She has pet/house sit our 2, along with 3 of our grand dogs, in 2 different locations! She is so loving and caring for each of the dogs and extremely flexible! She watched our 5 dogs in two locations as well as delivering one for a photo shoot 15 miles one way for my daughters wedding! So for our sons wedding, a few months later, we could rest easy, leaving the state and our beloved canines to Alexis’ capable, compassionate and caring hands!”
