4. Tyler R.
“Tyler took amazing care of my dog while I was away for a long weekend. My little one is reactive and a big puller. I was very impressed with Tyler’s patience as he was able to safely take her on 2-3 shorter walks per day. Not only did Tyler make sure she had enough exercise, but he also made sure she had plenty of love and cuddles. She was so sad to see him leave! I would highly recommend Tyler- he will look after your dog like they are his own!”

About: I’ve taken care of numerous types of dogs and cats since 2019. I can provide oral medications and injections to animals, as well as care for elderly dogs and dogs with special needs.

13. Shelby M.
“Shelby is simply amazing. I live one town over from her. She watched my flock for 6 days while I was off on business. I have a senior lab, a 70lb tortoise, and an extremely aggressive rescue mule that lives in my back yard with a few ducks, chickens, and turkeys. Shelby feed and watered all the animals just as requested and even got the senior dog to take all his meds regularly. The tort was even given a bath! Shelby was the first person to make friends with my mule as even I have yet to consentinly touch him. She gave him ear scratches and everything. I would give her the mule if she was in a position to take him. The birds were all perfect. Couldn't give higher praises. Can't believe she is the most affordable animal sitter help I can find in my area. Will use her every single time!”

She is continually honest, hardworking, and caring in everything that she does. Sydney goes out of her way to create a sweet relationship with the pets that she cares for, and I highly recommend her as a pet caregiver.”
18. Savannah M.
“Savannah is amazing with all animals. I have never met a person who has such an inmate connection between them self and an animal. I don't think there is animal that she does not like and visa versa. Savannahs relationship with her own dog is like no other. Her dog would do anything for her and visa versa. I've seen her train a goat, talk to a cow in Spanish and sing to sooth a sick dog. Any animal that knows Savannah is a friend for life.”
