3. Juni W.
“Hannah watched my 8 yr old German Shepard, Zippy. Zippy is always excited to see her and trusts her to give him his shots. He was diagnosed with diabetes 2 years ago and he’s not very happy about getting his shots. I recommend Hannah as a dog sitter she is always happy to help and easy to work. Blessing to have her around as I often have to travel for work.”
4. Shawna S.
“Shawna watched my French Bulldog and Bull Terrier while I was out of town for about five days last summer, and I was so happy she did. She sent me photos, along with updates on how they were managing without me. I liked that she didn’t just stop by, feed them, and leave- but instead hung out with them for a little while. It made me feel better knowing they weren’t just sitting alone all day. Thanks Shawna! 10/10 would recommend.”

6. Neil U.
“Neil has decades of experience adopting, caring for, training, and adventuring with dogs and pets of all types. He has cared for my pets for months at a time and I would have full confidence leaving my pets in his care again. He has a big, fenced-in back yard and a sizable home to care for them in. He also lives right next to a park that is perfect for taking doggies for walks. His communication is great and I have been more than happy with the updates that he sends while caring for my pets.”

9. Lydia C.
“Lydia is absolutely amazing and most caring woman I know. She's fostering a very special needs dog at our shelter and not only did she open her home and heart, she's went above and beyond for him and all of our dogs here. She is always happy to spend her time with them, never rushing around. She just enjoys the dogs and they really enjoy her coming to visit. She's probably the only person I would trust to care for my pets if I were unable to. Just the perfect dedication and love every dog should be so lucky to have.”

15. Erin M.
About: I have grown up around animals all my life living out in the country. I grew up on a chicken farm and then from there 20+ acres of land with many animals I had to learn to care for at a young age. Additionally, I have also pet sit for my family and friends when they are out of town. I just recently pet sitted for about two months and it was a blast. It’s safe to say, I truly do have a love for any and every animal. Full time and part time availability! Flexible schedules available as well. I will work with with you in whatever way I can schedule wise to meet your needs. I go to your home , and take your dog and/or cat for walks to parks, trail, or around the neighborhood. And of course if there is a little time left, we’ll play one more time before I leave!

18. breonne c.
“Breonne, went above and beyond with my dog. I am here for training and I was worried about my dog, she made me feel at ease and kept me informed while she walked my dog. I would highly recommend her, taking care of our fur babies. 5 stars all day.”
19. Kaylyn M.
“I am a traveling doctor & come to Cape once a month, this time I brought my dog. Kaylyn was fantastic! She communicated very well & kept me up to date on her walks w/ my dog. Luna warmed up to her right away at the meet & greet & also loved her dog Kane when they met. Kaylyn’s flexible schedule worked very well for the times I needed & I would definitely use her next time I’m here w/ Luna!”
