About: I am in love with animals. I am currently in school to be a vet tech. I currently work at a bakery and is a caregiver. I always been around dogs and cats my whole life. I got my own cat about 3 years ago, when he was a baby and i have learned so much . I got my dog in 2019 when she was 6 months and i had to retrain her. I want to devote more time to animals and learning all i can about them. I am the perfect person to walk your dog, play with them and cats, and give them my love. I will treat them like my own and you will never have to worry. They will be in good hands.
9. Jessica W.
“Jessica was wonderful and cared for our puppy on a holiday when we needed someone last minute! She responded quickly and came over for a 'meet and greet' before we left. Our puppy loved her and she was very friendly and good with her, especially considering our puppy hasn't learned all of her commands yet. We received text updates with pictures and we felt great knowing someone compassionate was looking after our baby! We couldn't be happier with the care she provided.”

Besides walking them and looking after them she has taught them several obedience commands and some fun tricks.

19. Tugba K.
“Tugba is one of the best most caring owners to her dog Kora that I have ever seen. She treats her like a child and is so attentive to her. She makes sure she is so well taken care of. She is able to tell differences in Kora’s demeanor and personality and when other owners might ignore it, Tugba is able to tell when something is wrong and immediately gets it taken care of. If I needed someone to watch my dog I would wholeheartedly trust her.”
