“Lindsay has been so great with my dogs! She truly loves and cares for my pets, giving them a lot of attention and care as if they were her own. She is great about taking them for walks as well.”


30. Jae S.
“I cannot recommend Jae highly enough! From the moment we met, it was clear that they truly love and understand dogs. My pup, Jackson, is usually a little shy around new people, but they warmed up to Jae almost immediately—tail wagging and all! While I was away, I received regular updates, including adorable pictures and messages that put my mind at ease. Jae went above and beyond, making sure Jackson was not only fed and walked but also happy and loved. When I returned, my dog was calm, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for—proof of the attention and care they received. It’s such a relief to know that I have someone reliable and loving to call on whenever I need help. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like their own, I would definitely recommend Jae! Thank you so much, Jae!”




31. Katerina K.


“Katerina did a great job stopping in to see our DJ every day while we were out of town and providing pictures and videos that were greatly appreciated. Her flexibility was also fantastic as we decided to extend our time away by about another week. During the whole time, Katerina took care of our cat and our house and we greatly appreciated that she could help us out. We will definitely use Katerina again!!”


32. Cassaundra & Timothy H.
About: I was raised on a farm and love animals. I have had cats, dogs both indoor and out. I have four kids who can help also. We don’t own any dogs or cats right now at our house so we can give lots of attention to your animal. We are home most of the week. There is one day where most of us are gone but can let them out in the middle part of the day. I have a home with a yard. I don’t have any other animals to worry about getting along with other dogs. We can walk dogs in our nice neighborhood.
