1. Kaitlyn W.

“Kaitlyn has a wonderful way with cats. She even coaxed my shy boy out his hiding place in the back of the closet. It’s so reassuring to leave the cats with someone I trust. I highly recommend her.”


2. Tiffani J.

“She was so sweet when we met!! When she went to check on our kitties she made sure to find both and sent some really good pictures! She even cleaned our litter box, which was so nice! I would use her again!”


3. Sarah M.

“Sarah is always so attentive and my dogs love her! She was able to accommodate giving my dog eye drops when this came up as a temporary new need which was very helpful. She pays close attention when my dog was tiring out and needing a shorter walk while going through a health issue as well. I feel so much better leaving because I know my dogs are in good hands”




4. Samantha K.

“I was very at ease leaving my cats with Samantha. I did not have to worry about their well being at all. Samantha is dependable and made sure my cats were fit (they are almost 15) and fed. I definitely recommend.”


5. Nikki B.

“Nikki was awesome!! We are very new to using a service to help with our pets, but Nikki has made the experience a very positive one. She sent lots of pictures and a thorough update on how my little sweetie was doing. It helped put me at ease. We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future for any help we may need.”

“Absolutely wonderful!! Happy dogs!!! Very flexible with scheduling and super responsive, sent pictures and kept me updated on how the dogs were doing!!”


8. Alysha R.

“Alysha is the best! This has been a busy out of town season for us as we travel frequently to watch our daughter compete at college swim meets. Alysha has been there for us and we could not be more thankful for her care of Lola while we are away.”


9. Allison F.
“Allison is an amazing pet sitter. I have her watch my animals when I go out of town on vacation. My dog and cat don’t get along so they need to stay separate. Allison is great at accommodating to both animals despite their extra needed care. Would recommend to all my friends and family.”


10. Sandina P.

“Sandina took good care of our two Weims and communicated very well with us; including pictures. Her multiple drop-in visits were done as expected, and she gave the doggies all the opportunities they needed to "do what they needed to do."”


11. Dominique C.
About: Hi there, my name is Dominique. I am a fun, kind, compassionate person who loves animals! I have a dog that I rescued from a killer shelter down in Indiana named Orion who is with me in my profile picture who absolutely get spoiled by the rest of my family and I. As well I worked in a boarding facility near my home town. And I have learned a lot about how to handle all types of dogs personalities. I have worked with puppies and elder dogs as well as aggressive, timid and very energetic pups as well! And me and my Boyfriend help foster dogs that are looking for there forever home! i'm going to be a freshman in college up at whitewater. My class schedule varies where I have hours where I won't be having classes where then I can go and spend some time with the pet or just feed or let them out! With my dog Orion we need to keep him on a leash or he will run away to go explore but with my old dogs Baron and Riggins we were able to let them run around without worrying about them running off ! I also love being able to relax and just cuddle with dogs if they are the cuddling type which im more than happy to do to make then feel loved while there owner is away


12. Zackary T.

“Molly was so chill when we got home yesterday. She definitely enjoyed Zack's visits and potty breaks. So happy to have Zack watch our girl! 🥰”


13. Kassandra K.
About: I have taken care of pets for a majority of my life. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to walk, care for, and play with their pets in many instances. Growing up I also owned my own dog that I would care for. Spending time with animals brings me joy and I treat them all with endless love! I am currently a college student majoring in nursing and I am looking for another side job in addition to my CNA job. I love all animals and think this is the perfect opportunity. I live in a quiet community with plenty of area to walk the dogs. I can also easily kennel dogs if necessary. I do not have any other animals in the home.


14. Rylie D.
“Rylie is amazing with all animals. She truly loves animals and it shows by how loving and responsible she is when taking care of them. Rylie has cared for my animals including dogs and cats for years. I am always comfortable leaving my animals knowing Rylie is caring for them. She has been great letting them out while I am at work and staying at the house when I am away for the weekend or on vacations. I don't know what I would do without her. I would definitely recommend Rylie.”


15. Lizet S.

“Thank you, Lizet! Great with our aging -- yet still playful -- dog :-) Very responsive and flexible. We'd highly recommend her!”


16. Emily H.

“Emily was able to do a last minute visit with my dog. She took her for a walk and even brought a treat along for her.”


17. Lauren T.
“Lauren did a great job looking after our Gordo this weekend! He got lots of TLC and seems quite tuckered out from all of the fun they had together!”


18. Cara H.

“Cara did an excellent job with my three animals. I even have an oddity, a miniature pot bellied pig, and she did great with her. She sent pictures with each visit and you can tell she played with them. I came home to very happy animals.”


19. Julie G.
“Julie is a very kindhearted, animal loving, active person who would take wonderful care of your fur baby. I have known Julie for many years and she volunteers to help people in need whenever she can. I trust her wholeheartedly with my three kitties. Her only reason for becoming a pet caregiver is to help people in need, who find it difficult to travel or be away due to worry for their pets. Your pet would be in good hands with Julie.”


20. Amanda G.

“Amanda and Chloe did great with Fritz. She kept us up to date with messages and pictures. Thanks to Chloe for putting away dishes and the cute drawing of Fritz!”
