1. Brittany S.
“Brittany and her family have been great with my 2 girls, they come every day to let my girls out while I'm working. They take the time to play with my girls and give them plenty of time to drink and go potty. Very reasonably pricing and even do clean up after the dogs for a small fee. I would recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a trusting person to care for their 4 legged kids.”


2. Taylor R.
“Taylor has been involved with domesticated animals since birth. She is compassionate, caring and responsible. Her love for animals shows with her smile and nurturing nature. She would excel working with pets and caring for them while their owner is away”




3. Michele M.
“Michele has the most love for dogs I have ever seen! She has treated my past dog like her own and I'm sure she would do the same with my current two. I trust her to give my dogs nothing but love and affection. No matter if your dog is young or old, she will do a great job. Totally recommend!!!”




4. Jasmine G.
“Jasmine is a kind, loving, caring individual. She is smart, passionate, and polite. I had the privilege of working with her at a Veterinary clinic and we remain friends. I would trust her in my home and with my pets.”




5. Suzie S.
“Suzie hosted our pair of dachshunds in her home while we were on a weeklong vacation. Anyone who has owned a dachshund knows they are not very good with changes in routine, and boarding them is typically a nightmare. But when they came home from Suzie’s house they were happy and relaxed - a really great experience, we would recommend Suzie 💯.”


6. Jana H.
“I've known Jana for over 30 years and in that time she has always had a fur baby by her side. Dogs, Cats, even sheep. She is someone who pays attention to the actions of her pet so recognizes when there may be concerns. She is respectful of the health of her animals and has them at the vet regularly for checkups and doesn't feed them inappropriate people food that can cause health issues. Sadie, her border collie, is nearing her 16th year and while slowing down of course, is still a gentle friendly, and healthy dog as a result of Jana's care over the years. I know she is excited about the opportunity to share her love for dogs by helping others when they need a sitter. I highly recommend Jana for this opportunity.”


7. Georgia M.

“The best dog walker you could ask for ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


8. Kolton C.
“Kolton is very responsible person. He loves and cares for my dog, Penny, on a regular basis. He very quickly understood my dog’s routines of eating and going out. He is willing to stay overnights when I go out of town!”


9. Victoria K.

“Victoria was great! She made sure our dog was well taken care of! She sent us lots of pictures and gave our girl lots of love and pets. I would definitely recommend her to everyone!”

“I am thrilled to recommend Erica as a pet sitter and dog walker! Erica has cared for my pets on numerous occasions, and I have always been impressed by her kindness, reliability, and attention to detail. She genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to ensure their well-being and happiness. Erica's outgoing and friendly personality makes her a joy to work with.

12. Sarah B.
“Dear Rover, Sarah Burnett has been such a wonderful caregiver to our 3 dogs (2 black labs & 1 Shih Tzu)over the years. Sarah is so affectionate toward them & attentive to their every need. We couldn't ask for a better sitter to care for them & they just adore her. Any dog would be lucky to have Sarah as a human companion.”


13. Daniel S.

“Finn looks forward to Danny coming and going for a walk. I have to be careful to not say Danny’s name until he is here, or I have an overly excited German Shepherd boy looking for him.”


14. Grace H.
About: I have taken care of our small terrier for 5 years and love caring for and playing with other small dogs as well. Helped with our neighbors dogs for potty breaks and family dogs throughout the years also! I work part time two days per week, so I am very flexible with plenty of time for your furry friends! Looking forward to helping care for them! Fenced in back yard and plenty of room for small dogs to run and play. Open to allowing to play with our dog also if you are!


15. Rachel T.

“She did amazing! My dog was well taken care of.”


16. Chelsea S.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every dog like they’re my own. I have experience caring for puppies, high-energy breeds, and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and support. Whether it’s training a new pup or giving meds to an older dog, I make sure each pet gets personalized, safe, and loving care. My home is a calm, dog-friendly space, and I’m all about keeping tails wagging and owners worry-free! Ive grown up with pets and they were a big part of my daily life. Feeding, walking, grooming, and just spending time with them were all built into my routine. It taught me responsibility from a young age, and I really enjoyed the companionship. I definitely look forward to having pets again in the future when the timing is right. "When I cared for pets at home growing up—and when helping friends or neighbors—I always made sure their basic needs were met first: feeding, fresh water, regular potty breaks, and exercise. I paid close attention to their routines and any specific instructions, especially when helping in someone else's home. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and loved, whether that’s sticking to their walk schedule, administering medication if needed, or just giving them plenty of playtime and affection. Cleanliness and communication are also big priorities for me when caring for pets in someone else's space.


17. Ellie H.
“Ellie has been a wonderful addition for us . She is extremely responsible and always kind . She is so good with our animals .”


18. Ross G.
“Ross has always been drawn to dogs. He’s the dog whisperer. I’ve seen dogs that don’t like strangers crawl into his lap before. Ross has a caring attitude as a nurse that carries over to his love of pets.”


19. Julie C.

“Julie is a really easy-going, dependable, and friendly person. She is great with dogs and cats, even my nervous, old Alaskan husky. You should hire her!”


20. Justin E.
About: I have taken care of dogs, fish, cats, and children. I am a licensed foster parent and I also have extensive medical training. I had a Jack Russell Terrier for 18 years but do not currently have any pets of my own. I will treat you pets like they are family. I work full time, but my spouse is usually home. When we run errands we are more than happy to bring your dog along with us in the car if he/she likes going “bye bye.” Pets in my home have the run of the place as if it is their own. They are allowed on the furniture. If I am pet sitting in your home I will be respectful of your space.
