3. Johnny C.
“If you want your dogs to get lot of loving attention and possibly spoiled, Johnny is the guy. We always call him to take care of our 2 dogs and cat when we go out of town. The “girls” love him. We don’t worry they are taken care of and he’s been known send video and picture updates. Johnny’s a great and we trust him with our fur family.”


4. Brody G.

“Brody was amazing! My dogs are determined to attack everyone they meet with love and it can definitely be intimidating lol. Love my babies but they’re extra. Brody embraced their love and all their energy and they took to him right away! He was very communicative with me while we were out of town and he did a great job keeping up with my puppy’s medication schedule. She looked so much better when I got back. He was able to control my larger and super strong dog. Brody even went above and beyond and stayed a little longer with them. I felt at peace knowing he had them covered while we were away. Will def book him again!”


5. Julie G.

“Julie came by to walk our high energy dog, Summer. She showed up on time and was patient with Summer while she got acquainted. (Summer is a bit anxious around new folks.) we appreciate Julie helping Summer exercise on a busy weekday! Thanks Julie! Will book again.”




6. Chelsea L.
“Chelsea is the best dog mama around. I have known her all of her life and she has always been a loving, nurturing person. In fact, I think taking care of and loving others is what she has been called to do! She always puts others first, whether it is her beloved dog, Oliver, family member or friend, or even a complete stranger. Chelsea has a sweet and patient nature, as she spent 6 years as a special education teacher. If I needed someone to care for my pet, I wouldn’t hesitate to choose Chelsea to do the job and I would be able to rest assured knowing my pet was in her caring hands. No brainer!”


7. Stefanie H.
“Stefanie is an excellent pet caregiver! She has watched my dog more times than I count, and he loves her. She always treats animals with upmost respect, and I always feel good knowing that my pet is in good hands when I am away from him. Would recommend her to anyone!”


8. Luke A.
About: I have trained puppies, love taking fur babies on hikes, and have cared for people’s pets off an on my entire life. I am also in the process of training a kitten and traveling. I am familiar with livestock such as chickens, pigs, and goats. I am currently traveling the country living a nomad lifestyle, I have an open agenda which means plenty of time to provide excellent car for your furry loved ones. I provide ample love and attention, ensure proper exercise/play time, and maintain their current schedules. I routinely supply you (the pet parent) with updates as well as photos and videos of your furry friends living their best life while you also live yours.




9. Erika A.


“Erika walked my dog, Rico, twice a day for a week while I was out of town. She was really good about letting me know when she walked Rico and sent a photo every day. As most dog lovers, I am always looking for someone who I can trust with Rico and I could tell he was very happy when I returned! We will definitely hire her again!”


10. Natalie H.
“I was very fortunate to have Natalie as a neighbor for more than a year (during which I adopted my first pup). She has watched my dog numerous times, sometimes just for a day and sometimes for over a week, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.”


11. Bridget M.

“Ruby came back so sleepy! Exactly what I want from an hour walk. Bridget asks good questions and gives you updates about how your dog is doing. She is very aware of her surroundings and making sure Ruby is able to have her best walk. Ruby is afraid of cars and kids- I heard Bridget praise and redirect Ruby when encountering a scary thing. She really cares about my dog and it is noticeable. 10/10- highly recommend!”


12. Madison T.
“Madison kept our last pup while we went on vacation and when we had to work. She is AMAZING! She took good care of Buddy and set the bar pretty high for anyone that we have used since her. I think she took a little break but I’m glad to see that she is sitting again. Will def use her when she is available.”


13. Becca C.

“Becca was prompt and communicative, we were so grateful for the updates and the reliability! We didn’t get to meet Becca in person this time but hope to in the future!”


14. Allie K.
“Allie takes great care of all pets but especially dogs. Her dogs are very well taken care of and live in a great house. She has personally watched my dog and did a fantastic job. Whenever Allie comes to my house my dog will run past me to say hi to her first and probably likes her more than she likes me. I would trust Allie with my dog with no hesitation.”


15. Anahata E.
“I’m so happy I found Anahata to watch my pups! She is an honest, reliable and kind dog sitter. I know I can rest easy knowing she is taking good care of my fur babies and respecting my home. I highly recommend reaching out to her for dog sitting.”


16. Cynthia R.
About: Since my youth I have gladly helped friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, and referrals with all doggies, kitties, bunnies, and many other animals needs. Walks, medications, sitting, lots of love, and playtime. Myself and my Loona live in a house without a fence. Have lots of farm sitting/hand experience as well, so feel free to contact me about that service as well. I understand scheduled feed times, kennel time, playtime…. I am here to help both you and your pet! My pup Loona gets 24/7 lovings! I live in a beautiful mountain house that is shaded and fun to explore. I do have a job in AVL (3 days a week) although I am not opposed to the needs and wishes of the client as far as needing to kennel, food portioning, length of walk time, etc. Animals are just as individualistic as humans and deserve lots of love and care, as well as sticking to routine. That keeps both your pet stress low while you are away, and as the fur parent knowing they are happy and well looked after.


17. Kayla B.
“Kayla is exceptional with taking care of my dog, Marlie! Whether it's in home care or dog walking, she is reliable and communications well about the needs of my dog. I would trust Kayla to watch my dog anytime.”


18. Stacey B.
“Stacey loves animals, especially dogs. She is very loving and attentive to animals and makes them a priority when she is house or pet sitting. Her schedule is flexible enough that she can do this and the dog is never left on its own for too long. She treats the dog as if it were her own. She loves to play with the dog and take it for walks/hikes as appropriate for the dogs health. I highly recommend Stacey. She will also take excellent care of any house in which she sits or looks after. She is respectful and will follow the owners' needs and wants.”


19. Amber W.
“Amber loves animals that is why she is Vegan. We have 2 dogs at home which she is great with. Never worry her dog will be fed and walked. She loves being outside with them and cuddling with them. Any dog would be lucky to know her love 💘.”


20. Tammy R.
About: I am 44 years old and have many pets throughout the years. Currently I have a super high energy, playful little rescue from Brother Wolf. She is a lab/cattle dog and keeps us on our toes. She loves to play with her 6 doggie best friends next door and would love your dog too, I am sure. I am high energy and love to take the dogs for walks and even down to the river when allowed and appropriate! our home is a lovely rural home with lots of space to play and explore. Our home is clean and safe and comfortable. Your dog would be treated as well as our own! We have tons of space to roam on leash. Thanks for your time!
