I was in a bind because I had to go on a work trip. So this was my first time having Marlene take care of my doggies. I am always reluctant to have new people in my home, taking care of my babies. But, after meeting her both I and my little guys felt comfortable. I returned to find my little guys very happy and well taken care of. While I was gone, she sent pictures each day. She was also very responsive whenever I reached out. I would definitely recommend Marlene and will be calling on her again in the future.

Nicole made it through four wonderful days of D0gen care before she was sadly felled by strep throat and had to terminate her care. I had made back-up arrangements which she handled with great responsibility so that Dogen suffered almost no trauma as her sudden departure! He's now happy and so am I, and just hoping Nicolde gets well soon!

As I’ve reviewed Katie before for a day of boarding, this will be one dedicated to her drop ins. I have had Katie as my dog’s prime sitter for the past two months and after an experience with her, you will not look any further! All of her day time drop ins have been excellent, but tonight’s ordeal really takes the cake. I had a sudden change of plans and needed to stay very late into the AM hours at work, and Katie just did a drop in for me to let my dog potty, and get a run in, and eat. Even on her busiest day of the week she was able to go completely out of her way at a very late hour to help me and Luka out. Thank you Katie for always going above and beyond in your services!

About: Hello! I have been a pet care provider on Wag since 2018, but have had this immense love for animals all my life…I’m a passionate and responsible pet sitter with 6+ years of experience. From general practice hospitals to animal shelters and currently FT at an ER veterinary specialty hospital as a vet tech providing compassionate and attentive care to all animals! PS: I have 3 fur babies of my own - 2 bunnies + a cat 🐾🫶🏼 I work full time currently but always can make something work! That being if they’re sittings, drop in visits in the morning and afternoon/evening. Boardings I can stay overnight do the same procedure as I would for sitting only I’d leave to work from your home and come back to your home. Walks the exact same before and after work if that is something that works for you otherwise like I said I will make sure to do all In my power to accommodate your needs and my schedule so we’re all happy! 🙂 I care for your pets as you would, accommodating to their needs as well as making sure they’re comfortable and happy and follow through with your step by step care instructions. 🥰

Priscilla is one of a kind. She is a reliable person and goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care of my 70lb pitbull. You can tell right away how much she cares for others and how important their needs are. She is confident and strong. I have left her with my dog for over a week before and know if I needed her to watch him for longer I would trust he would be in good hands and would not be worried one bit while away. She is active which helps because with bigger dogs you definitely need someone who is down to go on a lot of walks and tire them out. She is clean and respectful of spaces. I would 100% recommend her as an amazing pet caregiver

Elias is a responsible person, you can trust and count on him to take care and love your pets. He is a great dog dad to his fur baby Luna. She is so well loved and taken care of by him. He has taken care of my German Shepherd and he loves to play with him every time he sees him. I truly recommend him to take care and love for your pets.

Leo was wonderful with Olaf! He came for a walk and a hang out while I was out for a very long two days of a conference and Olaf took to him right away. He was flexible with our needs and very communicative. He checked in with me before and after his check in and Olaf was very appreciative of the attention. I'd be more than happy to book him again when we need someone to look after Olaf. Thanks Leo!

We are so grateful for Megan! She is so amazing with our dog. The most important thing is that she loves our dog, which she absolutely does, but she also goes out of her way to make the experience great for the humans. She always sends updates and pictures and lets us feel comfortable knowing our girl is being taken care of when we can’t take her with us. Thank you so much, Megan!!

Bethany was my neighbor and would take care of my little one when I was on vacation. I always knew she would send photos and update me, as well as ask me any questions she might have. It was great to know I had someone nearby who cared for him like I did (he has since passed away from old age). He would always get excited to see her because she brought hai favorite treats.

At the meet and greet Tina gently introduced herself to Chilli, listened closely as we toured our home, took notes asked questions. She followed the written instructions we left for her and confirmed additional instructions we texted after we left for our trip. She texted us pictures of Chilli with updates. She also went beyond her responsibilities and checked for ants that had invaded our home before we left for our trip. She exceeded our expectations and we’ll definitely schedule her again soon!

Ben was incredibly awesome, responsive & friendly with our dog. He made sure to always check in, accommodate to change, and was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process. I’ve never had so much satisfaction or comfort with someone watching my dog while out of town. I would very highly recommend having Ben watch your pups!

Laura has been an amazing caregiver for my dog, Reese, time and time again. I’ve hired her multiple times during holidays and work trips, and she always exceeds my expectations. Reese feels comfortable, happy, and completely trusts her. I’m usually nervous about leaving my dog with strangers or at dog hotels, but Laura provides the perfect solution by staying at my home so Reese can remain in his own familiar space. It’s never easy to be away from my dog for an extended period, but knowing Laura’s dedication and love for dogs gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend her!
