“Barbara is currently sitting for my dogs, I am still out of town. I will leave another review once I am home. I am trying to figure out how to leave a tip, because she goes way above and beyond. For all of the work and help she is doing for my dogs while I am gone is incredible, so I just want to throw her a tip because she more than deserves it.”

About: With over 30 years of experience as a dog and cat owner, I truly understand the needs of pets. I know that when you travel, it’s essential to find someone trustworthy who will care for your furry companions as you would. I have extensive experience in dog walking, pet feeding, and administering medication. Rest assured, I will provide the attention and care your pet deserves, allowing you to relax while you’re away. As a retiree, I offer a flexible schedule for drop-in visits or overnight stays, ensuring your pets receive the best possible care whenever you need it. We have a fully fenced and gated back yard. There are no holes in the fence and the gates are secure so there is no way for an animal to escape. We do not have a gardener my husband does all the yard work so there is no fear of a gardener leaving a gate open.

11. Gennavie R.
“I never liked leaving my boy Simba with anyone until I met Gennavie. I trust her with Simba more than my own family and now I bug her every chance I get. Simba not only loves to hang out with her but I almost feel like he’d rather stay with her some days then hang with me.”
12. Angelita A.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. I mostly grew up around German Shepards and miniature Dobermans. I have two dogs of my own named Milo and Bear. I adopted Milo when he was a little less than a year from the pound. I got Bear just 6 months later from someone who couldn’t keep him. I love dogs and want to help take care of your pets! I am a stay at home mom and I also work from home. Working from home gives me flexibility to be able to be there for your pets. In my home or your home your pets safety and well being is my top priority. I will treat your pets with the same love l treat mine with. I believe pictures and videos are important to provide to show you how your pet is doing. I also send updates about your pets like what they’ve been up to and if I have concerns I definitely would let you know. I do live in a one bedroom apartment but I have a front yard I can take your dogs out for fresh air and to use the bathroom.
13. Samantha M.
“Samantha did such a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we were away. She was communicative and sent pictures and updates each day. We appreciated her willingness to go the extra mile and make sure they were inside before dark. We knew our babies were in good hands!”
14. Noely G.
About: I was raised with animals and I have always loved to take care of them. I have two dogs and a cat myself, and I have had many different dog breeds throughout my life. I currently go to school so on the weekdays I am available during the afternoon and on the weekends I am available all day any time. I have a fence around my house and I do have a dog to keep your fur baby company and I can easily take care of your pet.
15. Mayra F.
“I highly recommend Mayra. She has taken care of my nine year old pug twice now. Once for two days and for a week on another occasion. I gave her Bruce's eating and bathroom schedule and habits and she took note of everything. She also sent me pictures and videos keeping me updated and at ease knowing he's good. I could vacation worry free. Mayra was attentive and caring and it shows how much she loves animals.”
16. Alyssa S.
About: Hi my name is Alyssa and I love all kinds of dogs. I have owned dogs and cats all my life and love all the wonderful things they bring to our lives. I have 2 years experience as a Vet Technician, and Kennel Technician so am familiar with almost all breeds and their specific needs. I have plenty of experience with administering medication and can do so if needed. I believe that pets are like children and are valued members of the family. I will send updates and photos so you always know how your loved one is doing. I would love to be a part of your pack and help your dog be as happy and healthy as possible. I look forward to getting to know and caring for your fur baby. I currently work full time, but I have plenty of time outside of work to care for your pet. I am available anytime after 5pm and anytime before 8:30am on weekdays I always make sure that whatever pet is in my care feels comfortable and safe. I’m all about making sure to keep to whatever routines have been established so that they don’t have any added stress.
17. Heidi M.
“Heidi took good care of my dog. Guala has just gotten spayed and I needed someone to watch her while I left town, Heidi watched her and gave her medicine. She updated me with messages and pictures, and my baby looked so happy. Her house was clean and looked safe for my dog. She is the most trustful person to leave your pets with. I am so happy with the care that she provide and now I know who to leave her with next time.”
18. Lupe M.
“Super thrilled to have found Lupe! She took great photos and my dogs loved her, even my scaredy dog! I really appreciated how quickly Lupe responded to me, and she even brought my packages in. Lupe clearly loves dogs! My pups were very happy and contented when I returned home. I will definitely be using Lupe's services again in the future!”
19. Johoney F.
“Hi, I have two Weiner dogs, Hans and Goonter. Johany took care of my "Schnitzels" for 2-weeks and I could see that Hans and Goonter were well cared for. They were just as energetic as when I left. Both dogs were running between me and Johany for pets and scratches behind the ear. Their food and bed area were clean and picked up. Also the backyard was clean from the dogs poop. Having two dogs means twice as much "stuff" to pick up. Johany followed my instructions about caring for Hans and Goonter and to me, that is very important. Johany would send me photos of the dogs running in the backyard, eating, and relaxing in the dog beds. The photos made me relax and know Hans and Goonter were in good and caring hands.”
20. Audrey D.
About: As a pet owner of four dogs, every day is like a dog daycare at my house! We follow a routine and learn tricks to keep ourselves entertained and active. Dogs keep my days full of laughter and fun and they truly are my passion. All of my dogs are fully vaccinated. I’ve taken care of many different breeds and sizes of dogs ranging in activity level. I have specialized experience caring for dogs with medical issues who follow a strict routine and medication schedule including giving oral medicine, as well as Sub Q fluids and other injections. With a million things to worry about now a days, don’t worry any further about the best match to care for your fur baby- i’ll make sure to update you as frequent or little as you would like! (I am a pretty decent pet photographer) I work full time, however my husband and i often work opposite schedules and can easily incorporate your pets into our routine as someone is always home. My dogs follow a routine and have plenty of time to play and get scratchies. I have a fenced yard that is around .5 acres. They will get to stretch their legs and let the zoomies take over. I do have four dog friendly babies who love to play! We do have a separate side yard and can easily separate all pets outside and inside as all my dogs have their own crates (houses we call them) if needed or arrange them in different rooms as well as we have a spare bedroom!
