1. Grace H.
“Very friendly, loving and attentive! My pets were well cared for. :)”


2. Emily S.

“Emily was extremely helpful. She came over the day before to meet and greet the dogs, allowing them to open up to her more. She arrived on time every day and took plenty of pictures. When Astrid decided it was too cold to go out and tried to hide, Emily did her best to bribe her out of her hiding space (which we feel awful cause our room was rather messy that day). The dogs loved her and would choose Emily's services again!”


3. Eileen R.
“Eileen is an absolutely amazing pet sitter! She has a natural way with animals, and you can tell she truly cares about their well-being. My dog Prince took to her immediately, and I felt so comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care. She’s reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond by sending me updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. I came back to a happy, relaxed pet, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend Eileen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!”

9. Abigail M.
About: I have had pets in my home my entire life with the short exception of going away for college. My family had two Labrador retrievers at any given point in time. As an adult, I moved on to adopt my own little mutt as well as a kitten. My dog, Remy is a fairly nervous rescue pup so I am well versed in working with anxious animals. I am also familiar with the less than glamorous parts of pet care. I am willing to deal with, clean up, or otherwise handle any mess or problem we may run into. I will always be caring and respectful of your dog and of your space. I know that it is important for a dog to trust me and that some will be more willing to trust off the bat than others. I will take the time to learn what your dog needs from me and do my very best to fulfill that. I am responsible, knowledgeable about dogs, and extremely patient. I work in the evenings which is opposite to a lot of schedules so I am available during the day while you're at work to tend to your pup I am comfortable working with dogs of different needs. This includes elderly pups, nervous rescues, high energy dogs and plenty more. I will always be reading their body language and keeping tabs on their behavior to adjust accordingly to make them as comfortable as possible.


10. Erica W.
About: I worked in the veterinary field for four years and the grooming field for one. Although I’m no longer in the animal care field as a full time job I’ve also continued care to existing and new clients for the last several years as well as work with our local Humane Society. I am quick acting and knowledgeable to make sure your pet is in the best care! I currently work for myself as an automotive paint protecting film installer, as well as caring for current and new pet clients. Since I make my own schedule daily it’s easy for me to work around the care of any clients needs. I can assure you that every pet is treated and looked after as my own, and each home is treated no differently than mine. I am a neat freak on top of always making sure I run off a strict check list so all boxes of care are checked for your pet and home!


11. Lauren B.

17. Tiffany L.
About: Hi there! For your consideration, a human who is fit and able to be there for your pet(s) when you can't be. I have been taking care of animals my entire life - it starts early on a farm. After many years in retail and then the lumber industry, I have decided to work for myself and advance in pet care where I truly thrive. From mice to horses I've done it all! Pet care has now become my full-time job and will remain that way as long as business keeps coming. I am very dedicated because I want to continue working with animals, which is my true passion. Currently I have five very sociable dogs who love making new friends. They vary in age, so it's a great environment for young dogs to socialize. I also have 13 chickens who are used to our dogs and are always willing to meet new ones, and lastly we have one cat who tends to do her own thing. My backyard is not fenced however I have multiple runs set up for dogs who are not recall trained, but we do have a fenced in deck around our pool where the dogs have free reign.


18. Trisha L.
About: I grew up on a 25 acre cow farm. As a child I had every pet imaginable. As a mother I allowed my children to experience owning pets. My 2 youngest grown children have dogs and they are my grand dogs lol. We are a horse family. I have a degree in education and have been a teacher for ever. If I can be trusted with children then you can certainly trust me with you pets. I currently don’t have any pets due to where I live. The landlord is strict on the no pets policy. I know it’s a bummer 👎 All my children are grown so I have evenings and weekends free 👍 I know pets can be considered as a family member so I will take care of them as if they are my own children. I will provide plenty of extra love and kisses.


19. Heather R.
“Heather’s the go-to caregiver for all of our family pets. She treats all animals big and small with love and respect. She’s hard working, dedicated, and will not let you or your loved ones down. The 4 dogs in our family range from really a really small 6lbs Maltese Poodle, a really to really big German Shepherd/Rottweiler 120lbs. If you’re in need of a pet caregiver, I’d recommend Heather for any size.”
