1. Elizabeth H.
“Words can not adequately describe how well Elizabeth took care of our cat while we were away. My cat typically hides from every stranger, and only tolerates sitters. But he LOVED Elizabeth, and even followed her around the house - something he normally only does with me. She is clearly an animal lover, and they love her back. Elizabeth took time every day to send detailed updates and many pictures so I didn’t feel anxious at all at having to be away. We’ll absolutely use Elizabeth again in the future; I wish I could give her more than 5 stars!”
2. Mackenzie H.
“Mackenzie was awesome! She took great care of our pets, left the house nice and neat, and always responded to messages in a short amount of time. We would definitely ask her to watch our pets again!”
3. Grace B.
“I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Grace as a dog walker for your furry friend. I have known Grace for a few years now and have been incredibly impressed with her dedication and care for animals. Grace has been walking my dog, Forge, for a few months now. She is consistently punctual, reliable, and always treats Forge with the utmost respect and affection. Her gentle demeanor and patience make her an ideal companion for dogs of all temperaments. I have complete confidence in Grace's ability to provide your dog with safe, enjoyable, and stimulating walks. She is attentive to their needs, ensuring they are well-hydrated, properly leashed, and always supervised. Grace has a keen eye for potential hazards and takes the necessary precautions to protect your pet. Beyond her exceptional care, Grace is also a pleasure to interact with. She is always friendly, communicative, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure your pet's happiness. I have no doubt that your dog will love spending time with her. If you are seeking a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker, I highly recommend Grace. She is a wonderful person who truly cares about animals. Sincerely, Angie Forge's Owner”
4. Kendra C.
“Kendra was great! She was available short notice which was awesome. She was on time, sent pictures, and made sure Ollie was well taken care of. It’s such a great relief to find someone you can trust to take care of your dog while you are out! Highly recommend Kendra and will book again.”
5. Michelle C.
“This was our first time with Michelle and it went great. I could see that our pups were happy to see her each time she came. They were in good hands!”
6. Kierstin H.
“Kerstin was great with drop in visits for my 2 cats! My most shy cat even let her pet him and usually hides for anyone that comes over. Would definitely recommend :)”
7. Geoffrey R.
“Geoffrey has always been a lover of dogs! I have known him for 61 years and throughout all those years, I have seen him interact with many dogs. He has taken care of my two dogs often. When Geoffrey came over to my home, my dogs were absolutely thrilled to see him, the tail wagging and friendly barking assured me that my dogs were well-cared for at all times. Geoffrey has also owned many dogs. When I visited his home, his dogs were well behaved and so happy. You could see how much his dogs loved him. When Geoffrey would sit on the floor, his dogs would run right over for a nice cuddle. Geoffrey’s kindness and gentleness make him the perfect candidate to take care of any dog.”
8. Breanna L.
“Breanna was wonderful! She was very flexible and accommodating to our needs. We appreciated her ability to do a meet and greet beforehand so that we could go over all the details with her. Breanna sent updates and was very responsive. We would definitely book with her again!”
9. Tayla L.
“Tayla did a great job watching my pups during a quick overnight trip. She followed my instructions well, kept me updated and the pups seemed very comfortable having her here.”
10. Eric B.
“Eric truly loves animals and it’s evident in the way he cares for them. He treats every living creature like they are his own and always makes sure their needs are met. His kind, warm, and gentle nature makes him the perfect sitter in my opinion! His priority is always to make sure that not only is each animal well taken care of but that they know they are loved and entertained. He’s also incredibly reliable and communicative. I’d definitely call him first if you’re looking for help!”
11. Kathleen D.
“Kathy was awesome! She arrived a bit early to our scheduled time, which was great. She sent pictures each time. It was a wonderful feeling to not have to worry about our animal family, and look forward to our next booking! Would very highly recommend Kathy.”
12. Amber L.
“Amber is prompt, responsive and takes care of Stella like she is her own! She is trustworthy and follows all directions perfectly. Would definitely recommend!”
13. Mikey D.
“Mikey was a great choice to watch our boy, Radar. They were able to watch him last minute, which we were so thankful for. Mikey was on time and communicated well regarding meals, playtimes and potty breaks, not to mention they were super kind. They even cleaned up a mess one of our cats had made even though they weren’t part of the gig. We recommend Mikey to anyone looking for pet sitting.”
14. Kelly G.

16. Joann W.
“Joann treated Tina like one of her own. She catered to her at 1st and let her adjust. My first time leaving Tina for an extended period of time. Joann kept me updated during my stressful time. Tina had a wonderful time, full of walkies, belly rubs, and quality time with other dogs.”
17. Ryan K.
“Ryan has cared for our 5 dogs ( over the course of several years). He is great with senior/ skittish pups as well as young, high energy pups! He is very hands-on and will follow through with ongoing training cues, medication and feeding schedules. He loves to play and walk with our dogs and is meticulous about cleaning up after them ( so that I don’t have to worry about the neighbors or stepping on bombs). Ryan is reliable and responsible and he has such a wonderful way with animals. They love him!”
18. Camron R.
