“So responsive, knew how to work with a dog that is needy! Sent tons of pictures, since I was nervous leaving him. He loved her from the start, she has a great vibe that dogs can read. Very impressed, definitely will hire again!”
4. Barb K.
“Barb was fantastic! We were very hesitant to leave our dogs with someone new; however, we are new to this area and needed to find someone dependable for when we are away. We definitely found that in Barb! She put us at ease quickly. During the meet and greet our dogs loved her and it was clear that she knew how to play with and care for dogs. Her genuine love for dogs was evident in the consistent communication and photos that she shared while we were away. We will definitely use Barb again and would highly recommend you giving her a try if you are in need.”

“I’m sorry this is so late. I enjoyed meeting Molly at our meet and greet. Maggie seems to really like her which is important to me. Molly came when scheduled, fed Maggie and cleaned the litter box which I really appreciated. She took pictures of Maggie and sent them to me. Communication while I was away was important so I could be relaxed that my cat was getting taken care of so well! I would have Molly come again!”
17. Dylan N.
“I highly recommend Dylan to care for any pet. He has always loved animals and is someone who would not just take the time to watch your pet, he would also enjoy playing with them and giving them the attention they deserve. He enjoys taking our bloodhound on hikes and has watched several of our friends pets while they are out of town.”

“Did a great job with my boys.”
19. Jackie C.
About: I have always had a love of animals and I enjoy spending time with them, and yes, I do talk to them as if they are human. I have summers off and would love to spend some time with animal friends!!I am an early riser and can also be flexible with schedules during the summer. I have a fenced in yard here and all the things needed for various pets, especially dogs. I would hope that owners will specify how they’d like their pet cared for.
20. William W.
“William is such a dog person forever and always. We grew up with dogs and have always been great with either walking training or simply being patient with them. 10/10 would recommend :)”
