1. Theresa K.
“I am most pleased to write a testimony on my friend and dog sitter Theresa. I met Theresa through my sister three years ago. What a wonderful bright, loving young lady. She came to our house to meet my two English Springer Spaniels before coming to stay at our home for four day. I knew I loved her the minute she got out of her car. She gave me a sweet wave and at ONCE went right to the dogs to romp, hug and get down to meet. That sold me right away. I knew her heart was there to make me and my dogs comfortable with the job ahead! My pups do great with her. Lots of fun and love. She even sent me pictures of their weekend together to let me see how they were doing through the time we were away. Theresa will be a huge asset to you and your company. I wish her well in this position. I know you will get many good compliments from your clients after this young lady takes care of their furry friends!! Sincerely Kathy Roenne”

6. Mavrick G.
About: Hi there! I’m Mavrick, a devoted pet lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and personalities including my own. I specialize in drop-ins for both dogs and cats, ensuring their individual needs are met with care and attention. From energetic pups who need playtime to independent cats who just want a cozy companion, I’ve got it covered. What makes me different? I go beyond the basics with enrichment activities, thorough communication, and a dedication to making your pets feel loved and secure. When you choose me, you’re choosing someone who truly cares about your pets as much as my own. I work from home and set my own business hours so I take special requests, but my primary hours for drop-ins are as follows; Monday- Friday: 7am-9:30am & 8:30pm-10pm Saturday-Sunday: 7am-9pm During a drop-in service, my goal is to ensure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved, even while you’re away. I customize my visits to fit your pet’s unique needs and routine. Here’s what I typically include during a drop-in: Feeding & Fresh Water: I’ll make sure your pet gets the right portion of food at the right time, along with fresh water to keep them hydrated. Potty Breaks: For dogs, I’ll take them outside for a bathroom break, ensuring they get the relief they need. Playtime & Enrichment: Whether it’s tossing a ball, playing with their favorite toy, or engaging in a fun activity, I keep your pet entertained and stimulated. Litter Box Maintenance: For cats, I’ll scoop and clean the litter box to keep things fresh and tidy. Affection & Companionship: I spend quality time giving pets belly rubs, ear scratches, or quiet snuggles—whatever makes them happiest. Safety Check: I’ll ensure your pet and your home are secure before I leave, including checking doors, windows, and anything pet-related. Updates & Photos: You’ll receive detailed updates with photos and notes about how your pet is doing, so you’re always in the loop. Each visit is tailored to your pet’s personality, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away!

8. Breanna P.

“Breanna is wonderful. I have a very anxiety ridden German Shepherd and she’s sometimes a handful. Breanna easily helped her get over the newest of her having a dog walker and she’s been so happy. Thanks!”


9. Cailah B.

“Cailah was fantastic. There was really nothing more we could have asked of her- she was professional, kind, responsible, punctual, energetic, and personable. She took care of our dog for 1 1/2 weeks while we were traveling by feeding, letting her out and walking her each morning. We got a written report along with pictures each day right after her visit. It was so reassuring for me to wake up each morning (due to the time change where we were) and see the report and pictures and know that not only was our dog okay she was happy! Thank you Cailah!!”


10. Elisa H.

“I’m needed help at the extreme last minute and Elisa was able to walk Shelby for me. This isn’t the first time she’s helped when something unexpected happened. Greatly appreciate the help!!”


11. Taylor G.
About: I had a yorkie terrier named Demi who grew up alongside me until she passed my final year of high school. I have experience with dogs of all sizes but I also have experience with taking care of a senior pet and accommodating them and their needs, as well as spoiling them a little bit more since they’re in the golden years. I love all animals and will be sure to care for them in the safest manner while still respecting them and loving them! From January-June I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays. From July-December I’m remote everyday except for Tuesdays. I’ll be able to work from home and watch your fur babies while you’re away. I am currently a cat owner. I’ll be sure to follow and respect rules of your house but also any routines you’ve already established with your fur baby. My job provides me flexibility so I’ll be able to accommodate bathroom breaks, play time, etc. I’ll be sure to provide your fur baby the best and safest company.


12. Emily M.

“Emily watched my dog Chewie for a few days and I cannot recommend her enough. I practically had to drag him out when I picked him up. You can tell she has a passion for what she is doing. Great professional. Will definitely be using her again and will also tell all my friends and family about her as well.”

15. Robin D.

“Robin took amazing care of my dog she made him feel so at home! Her home set up was perfect! Her love for animals definitely shows in the quality care and extra attention she gave him while I was away. She was so genuine and took extra time to get to know my pet and ask me questions so that she could take the best care of him and treat him like her own! She even sent photos, gave updates on him at pick up about his stay and even sent him home with a little doggy toy and thank you which was super cute, thoughtful, and appreciated! Great experience for me and my pup!! 🐶😁”

17. Nicole M.
“Nicole is the most trustworthy pet caregiver we've ever had. She stayed in our home while we were out of town to take care of our 3 pets for an entire. She made sure our elderly pet received all of his medications and was generous with her love and comfort to our 3 pets. We've used other pet-sitters promised to take good care of our pets, but they all fell below expectations by only providing the bare minimum of care - food and water. We highly recommend Nicole!”


18. Aline G.

20. Tyana S.
About: I’m a pre-vet student with over 6 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals. My experience started with caring for my own dog, and over the years, I've gained hands-on experience walking, sitting, training, and grooming pets for others. I've developed a real passion for providing personalized care and making sure each pet feels comfortable, loved, and well-exercised. In addition to regular dog walking and sitting, I’ve done a lot of grooming, including baths, nail trims, and brushing to keep pets looking and feeling their best. Whether it’s a quick walk or a longer adventure, I make sure your pets get the attention they need while having fun and staying healthy. What really sets my experience apart is my internship at a veterinary shelter and hospital. There, I was able to gain hands-on experience assisting with treatments, helping with exams, and observing animal health care. This experience has given me a deeper understanding of animal behavior and health, which helps me provide top-notch care for your pets, both in everyday situations and in more special circumstances. With my personal experience caring for pets, along with my internship experience in a veterinary setting, I’m confident I can offer your pets the best care, whether you need regular walking, sitting, or grooming services. With a completely open schedule for the next two months, except Sundays, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Whether you need daily dog walking, pet sitting, or simply someone to keep your pets company, I can offer flexible and consistent care. Since I’m free from school, I’m available throughout the week to provide your pets with the attention, exercise, and care they need. My open schedule allows me to tailor my services to fit your pets' routines, ensuring they get the best care while you’re away or busy. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining a safe, comfortable environment. I follow their regular routines, including feeding and exercise schedules, to keep them relaxed and happy. I ensure the space is pet-friendly, keeping hazards out of reach and providing fresh water and cozy resting spots. I stay in touch with clients for updates and adjust my care based on each pet’s needs, offering consistent attention and support.
