“He took great care of Bubba—walked him twice, gave him his medication, and made sure he was fed. Communication was prompt when I reached out, and he stayed a bit longer than the 30 minutes I booked, which I really appreciated. Overall, I felt comfortable knowing Bubba was in good hands. Thank you for looking after him for me!”

12. Christy O.
“Christy has worked in customer service for many years and prides herself in making sure that her customers needs are met and that they are treated with respect. Christy and her dog visited me in California and I was able to see first hand how her dog's health and happiness are a big part of her life. When Christy is out in public if she runs into someone with their dogs she always asks if she can pet them. If the owner says yes she loves on each dog as if they were her own. Christy works very well with people as well as animals. She loves all animals not just dogs and I believe she would make an awesome pet sitter or dog walker for anyone.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, they are like family to me. The smile they put on my face when I walk in the door is worth everything! I am the person that stops to pet every dog I see when walking. I will treat your dogs like family and give them so much love. I have a flexible availability. I have two kids who also love pups and I work part time. I have plenty of time to take care of your pup. I work part time two days a week so my schedule is very open. I am home all weekends as well to accommodate weekend getaways. I have a fenced backyard and am very cautious about opening all other front doors unless my own dogs are in another room or outside.

“Jesse grew up in a home where the animals always outnumbered the people, and he loved and tended to them faithfully and patiently. As an adult, he took in a stray puppy and gave her a loving and adventuresome life. He's taken care of friend's pets as well as his own. Animals know right away that he's their friend. He's highly responsible in all areas of his life and able to deal calmly with problems or emergency situations if they arise. He's trustworthy. You'll feel comfortable having your precious baby in his care.”
