“We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care Gena and Geoff gave our two German Shorthaired Pointers while we were away. Our pups are full of energy, and Gena and Geoff went above and beyond to keep them happy, exercised, and loved. It was clear from the daily updates and photos that they were treated like family and having the best time. We are so doggone happy with choosing Gena and Geoff to watch our babies!”

11. Cynthia N.
About: I love spending my time with pets of any kind. I enjoy going on walks, playing, or even just cuddling. I have trained my dog to do many tricks. For the most part I spend my time at home. I go to the gym for two hours max but I come right back home. In my apartment complex there is a fenced dog park. I have two pugs who are very friendly and don’t mind sharing their toys or stuff. If needed be, I can place your pet in a crate, if desired.

Jocelyn is incredibly reliable, always ensuring pets are well taken care of, from walks and playtime to feeding and grooming. Her warm, nurturing personality makes her a perfect fit for pet owners who want peace of mind knowing their furry friends are in capable hands. Any pet would be lucky to have Jocelyn as their caregiver!”

15. Alessandra G.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have helped friends take care of their pets for years. I used to walk dogs regularly and take them on 2+ hour excursions, followed by doggie day care at home. With your pups, they’ll get the same kind of love and care that I’d show my own dogs! I’m usually working odd jobs so my schedule is fairly flexible. I have a high energy border collie that needs a lot of exercise, so I’m always on the go! My own boy is very sweet but can be reactive and picky, so I’m always on the look out and taking extra care around strange dogs. I generally avoid saying hi to other dogs with client’s dogs as well, and if it’s okay with owners I like to have treats with me so that your pup knows it’s rewarding to be by my side

16. Molly & Joshua M.
About: My fiancé and I both recently just lost of family dogs this past year and are missing our time with them. Animals have been a huge part of our lives since day one and what better opportunity to work with them then making your loved ones have a day great! We will treat your pet with the same respect and love we would give ours and respect your rules provided. Every animal owner wants the best care for their pets when they aren’t home and we can provide that care to make not only you happy but your animal as well. One happy pet makes one happy owner! My fiancé, Josh, works from home and so during the week he will be able to take your dogs on walks or do pop ins at your house. I am available Friday-Sunday in which I will be joining in on all the furry friend activities! We will respect all rules provided on how you would like us to take care of your pet. We are both very active people so taking your dog on walks will be our main source of exercise.

17. Thomas S.
“Thomas took care of my dog Aladdin while I took a long camping trip to a music festival. I wanted to find someone that I could trust in my house while I was gone so Aladdin would feel comfortable and be able to stay home while I was away. Thomas quickly demonstrated his quality in his interactions with me and I felt totally comfortable giving him a key to get in the house to visit and walk with Aladdin 3 times a day, over the weekend. I stayed away later than expected and Thomas was willing to move his schedule around to provide for my sudden changing needs. I've used him several times now and it's good to know I have Aladdin in good hands whenever I need. Thank you Thomas for loving my dog!”

18. Elisa S.
“Elisa stayed at our home while watching our 2 dogs and I highly recommend her. Both our dogs have very different needs, 1 calm cuddler and 1 rambunctious pup. She was able to meet both of their needs perfectly. She took our more active dog on multiple walks a day and continued to play with him in the backyard after walks but still made time to cuddle our lazy pup too. We came home to tired and peaceful dogs which was perfect after a busy family trip. Her attention to instructions and overall communication was fantastic. She truly loves pets and it shows. Extremely clean and tidy house guest as well.”
