“I’m so grateful to have Elizabeth for our fur-baby Wrigley. She’s not just a dog walker/pet sitter, she’s a true animal lover. She is always punctual, sends me updates and photos, and Wrigley is always thrilled to see her and sad when she leaves! I can tell she genuinely cares about Wrigley’s well being, and she always gives her lots of love. I highly recommend Elizabeth!”

“I trust Kendall with my pets every time! She’s pet-sat for me before and I never worry about their needs (and wants) being met. She is kind, loving, compassionate, and truly has a passion for all kinds of critters. She has a good understanding of dog and cat behavior and years of experience with medically-needy cats. She is responsible, responsive, and sends the cutest photos! I highly recommend Kendall as your next pet caregiver.”
15. Odessa B.
“Odessa is my younger sister so I have known her my whole life and that whole time she has wowed me with her dedication and professionalism. I know she will handle your doggo with that same responsibility. As a little girl Odessa would get this look in her eyes when she saw an animal. It was as if her entire body was delighted with its cuteness and as she had grown up I can still see that glint in her eye. Because of this she will treat your dog with the kindest energy. She is also EXTREMELY athletic and is a great person to ware out your energetic puppy. I have two dogs that Odessa takes care of on a regular basis and now when my dogs see her they ask to go home with her every time! Basically, just get Odessa to take care of your sweet pup. I promise they will be in good hands.”
16. Anna F.
“My stubborn hound has never been walked by anyone new to her....but Anna was brilliantly unaffected by this behavior and coaxed jer into good long walks ...Anna really loves dogs and I would trust her to handle whatever comes along!”
17. Natalie D.
“Natalie is the best dog walker and sitter. She takes great care with compassion and kindness. Our 2 pups love to go on walks with her.”
18. Kyla B.
“Kyla is a natural with dogs, easily building trust and creating a calm, loving environment for every pup she meets. She has experience dog-sitting for various breeds, ensuring they receive proper care, exercise, and attention. Pet owners appreciate her reliability and ability to handle dogs with different temperaments, from energetic puppies to shy rescues. Whether going on long walks, playing fetch, or simply providing companionship, Kyla always makes sure dogs feel safe and happy.”
19. Ross & Ava T.
About: I have cared for dogs cats ferrets horses snakes mice from a teenager onwards. Experience with large breed dogs, I’m all for sofa cuddles with all types of animals - my partner and I also work from home with a fenced in back garden! ***As it is summer please make sure your animal Is up to date on flea and tick preventative My partner and I work full time at home, however my job is flexible my dog gets 3 walks a day morning lunch and dinner and that changes based on the weather - to hot we wait until it cools, rainy - we get the rain jacket out. I have a fenced in yard, with ring cams front and back - I have a Great Dane that loves everyone and every animal. I make sure the water is filled anytime I leave and any feeding/snacks are given.
