11. Pamala A.
About: I've always been a pet owner until this past year. My dog had cancer and passed away. I'm good with both cats and dogs, don't have any problems caring for any breed. I'm semi retired so I have time on my hands. I work m-f but just a few hours a day. Always off on the weekend. I prefer caring for your pet in your home, my lease doesn't allow me to petsit unfortunately. Your baby will be in good loving hands .
12. Hannah K.
“Hannah loves animals of all shapes and sizes. While she was home on summer break, she volunteered at a fox sanctuary, just so she could learn more about the animals and get close to them. She also took the neighbor's dog for a walk every night so she could exercise them and get her steps in at the same time.”
13. Tyler B.
“Very responsive to communicating and helpful!”
14. Schuyler W.
“Schuyler has been a close friend for some time, and in that time I've seen how much she loves animals. She's very caring and proud of her dog Copper but will always take the time to give affection to others, like my Pitbull and my Rottweiler, both of which I would entrust with her if the need arose.”

“Richard is, hands down, the best pet sitter I have ever had! He is extremely reliable, communicative, knowledgeable about all sorts of pet care, and goes the extra mile to make sure all my fur babies get the love and attention they crave. He is great with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I've seen him charm even the shyest of cats with his calm nature. I highly recommend him as a trustworthy sitter for your furry family members!”
18. Nichole B.

“Emily has watched my dog on a few occasions. She is great with him. She stays engaged the whole time by playing, walking and petting him. He is always excited to see her and I know it's because she does so much with him while sitting. I would recommend her 100%!”
