8. Betty S.
“I am thrilled to recommend Betty as a dog caregiver. Betty is one of the most caring and dedicated individuals I know, especially when it comes to the well-being of animals. Their genuine love for dogs and deep understanding of their needs make them an ideal person to entrust with your furry family member. From my experience, Betty is incredibly attentive and reliable, ensuring that each dog in their care is happy, safe, and well-exercised. They not only provide the basics like feeding and walking but also bring a warmth and kindness that puts both pets and their owners at ease. I have seen how dogs respond to Betty with excitement and affection, which is a true testament to their gentle and thoughtful approach. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dog with the same love and attention you would, I can’t recommend Betty highly enough. With their patience, responsibility, and genuine compassion, she will provide exceptional care for your beloved pet.”

About: Hello there! I’ve been working with dogs for about 4 years! i can handle any size of dog that is required you name it. I’m not a professional trainer but I also have a way with dogs so I can teach them how to sit, stay, shake, & if there having trouble with potty time no later than 2 weeks working with them everyday I will have them using outside in no time! if you need me days nights morning or even a couple hours just for potty time or watching your pup! I will be there if there is an emergency don’t be hesitate to call I will show up any time of the hour!! So please don’t hesitate to get up with me!! I also do not mind if I have to drop off or bring the dog with them or where anytime ! Hi! My name is Kaitlyn I’m 20 years old ive graduated with a high school diploma and currently working part time! I’ve been in love with animals since I was little but no jobs near me are hiring for it so I’m hoping you will come across this! I worked at an animal shelter for about a year until they closed down due to lack of adoptions! Well that’s it for now see you later! I will make sure they are at least in my vision the whole time unless they are crate trained! I will motor them the whole time I’m there with them! I usually give potty breaks every 2 to 4 hours or less according to the dogs bladder history! we have a big yard if needed to come over so they will be just fine!
14. Sydney B.
“Blair was wonderful. This is the first time using her. ( she lives next door so it was extremely convenient). We've had the puppies for a month, this was the 1st time leaving them. They warmed up to real quick. Followed instructions. Will definitely use her again.”
15. Ian C.
“Ian was great! He took care of Sage and my home while I was away. My home was clean and my dog was happy when I got home. I will definitely use him again!”
16. Molly C.
“Molly is an absolute gem! She recently stayed at our home to watch our two dogs—a big, energetic pup and a little one who needs gentle care. Molly’s energy is incredible; she’s both calming and warm, which put our pets at ease immediately. She was wonderfully attentive to both of our dogs, giving our big one plenty of active playtime and being extra gentle with our small dog, just as we asked. I was so impressed with the thoughtful little things she did, like wiping their paws every time they came inside. Knowing they were safe, comfortable, and at home while we were away made all the difference. I would highly recommend Molly to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter. She’s truly an amazing person who gives pets all the love and care they need!”
17. Bri B.
“Bri took care of my 15-year-old dachshund who has some special needs. She would did a great job was very attentive, and was able to stay at the house most of the time. Great job”

About: I have been around pets my whole life! I have taken care of each and every pet I’ve had. I have always had either a dog or cat in my house. And each of my family members have had pets that I have been around as well. I also use to volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation center, where I cared for injured animals. I have a very flexible schedule so I basically have the whole day to come take care of any pets! I have plenty of time to come and hang out with your furry family! I have three loving dogs that get outside all day long because I have so much time during the day. We go on walks all the time! We can have a pet play date if your pet likes other dogs. If you need your pet needs to crated, I can do that. If they need soothing music put on, I can do that too!
