Kara was great. She stayed at our house for a week to watch our 5 dogs. She sent us updates and pictures. She left everything at the house just as it was and even did a few extra things like bringing our mail and packages in. Would highly recommend.

Justin was amazing! I’m so grateful he took such great care of my baby Nittany. She’s on multiple seizure medications, so I needed someone truly reliable to give them on time, and Justin absolutely delivered. He even kept a close eye on her sneaky ways of trying to avoid them (not surprised, lol)! I would 100% book with Justin again and recommend him to everyone on this app. Thank you, Justin!

Abigail was incredible for my last minute request. She sent so many pictures, communicated clearly and frequently, and reassured me my girls were taken care of. I would recommend her for any pet sitting job!

This was our first time using Morgan for our two medium sized dogs and she did a fantastic job! Our boys were well taken care of. During the meet and greet she asked good questions to get a picture of their likes and dislikes. She took notes of their schedule to make sure she maintained it. She sent lots of pictures of the walks they went on throughout the day. The boys were happy and worn out when we came home. We will definitely use her again for our boys when the need arises.

About: I have taken care of foster dogs for about 4 years. These dogs were mostly puppies coming from neglect that needed to be housed and trained. Now, I have two pups of my own that I take care of on the daily! I’m currently working part-time, so I have time almost every day to take care of your pups! I am mostly available in the mornings or in the evening. I will be following all instructions given to me by the owner to ensure the safety of all fur babies! The safety of your pups is my priority and I wouldn’t want to do anything that would compromise it!

About: I took care of my sister's dog for most of last summer and fall. I have developed strong dog-walking skills from this experience as she is quite the timid and confrontational dog. I have learned out to be extremely vigilant when walking a dog and I can read a dog's behavior as well as a human's at this point. My time management skills are par for the course and I have plenty of free time. I have plenty of free time – I have plenty of free time... there.. enough words. I have a fenced yard and beautful quiet neighborhood to walk your dog in. I can also learn the layout of any home and method for taking care of any dog by the standards of any owner within any home.

Rachel did a great job caring for our beloved, Jack. She stayed the night with him while we were away and got him to the park twice every day -- sending a photo every time so we could see his sweet face. She also kept our house in good order, getting packages off the porch, etc. We will use Rachel again!

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life! I’ve had Oliver (frenchie) since he was a puppy, so I’m used to everything from training to daily routines. He requires allergy medication, which means I’m comfortable giving meds and paying close attention to a dog’s needs. I also frequently care for my family’s three dogs (two Frenchies and an English bulldog), so I’m great at handling multiple pups and making sure each one gets the attention they deserve. I’m currently working 3rd shift, so if you’re needing someone in the morning to let out your furry pet I can! Or if you want someone home all day with your pet, that works perfect for me as well! I can do walks during the days (after a little nap). I would say I’m pretty flexible if told ahead of time! I live in an apartment and do have a dog named Oliver. Oliver pretty much gets along with other dogs! If you’d rather your dog not be around another, I’d be more than willing to stay with your pets! My cousin would love watching my dog. I love meeting new fur babies and would love to help whenever I can with whatever you need!
