1. Susan E.

“I greatly appreciated Susan’s diligent care of my elderly dog over the Thanksgiving holidays. It’s hard to leave a beloved pet over the holidays, but I could tell by Susan’s daily messages that I didn’t need to worry. She walked him twice daily which he loves. He even seemed to eat better for her than he does for me! I will definitely use her again.”

“Caitland did an amazing job with my kiddos. Athena is finally warming up with her. My little princess can be timid, but Caitland is wonderful with her and got her to finally come out and play.

“Kaytee is the most together person I know. She is organized and her dogs are the sweetest loving dogs. She has trained them to be or go anywhere. I have a German Shepherd that I cannot take for a walk because he pulls. Kaytee said she would take him and he was walking like the perfect dog on one walk. I do not know how she did it yet Yogi Bear was so obedient for her!! There is just something about her that the dogs all love her. They must see her loving heart! Jeanne O.”

18. Cordelia D.
About: Lifelong dog lover looking to make more furry adventure friends! I love big, high energy dogs - I have a German Shorthair and a Malinois of my own - so I’m more than comfortable with the more intense breeds and aware of the energy requirements. I’ve cared for puppies through senior dogs, and a lifetime of horse ownership has also shown me plenty of animal experience. I love being outside, rain or snow or shine, so I’m ready to take your dog on an adventure anytime, whether for a long hike, sniffari around the neighborhood, or just a game of fetch in your yard. I’m currently working part time from home on my own schedule, so I have plenty of time for your pets on short notice! I’m free all day Monday and Tuesday and before 1pm Wednesday through Sunday. I am a very responsible and experienced pet owner (two large dogs and a horse) and I extend that care to my clients’ pets as well. I will treat your pets as precious as you would and ensure they have fun too!


19. Grace H.
“I highly recommend Grace. She is reliable and has always shown up on time. I have a dog, two cats, and 6 fish. She loves animals and they love her. She’s compassionate and takes good care of them.”


20. Julia F.
About: As an animal care attendant, I bring experience and skills that truly set me apart from other sitters. I focus on maintaining clean and safe spaces for animals while ensuring they feel loved and comfortable. My background isn’t just in animal care—I’ve also worked as a pharmacy technician, certified nursing assistant, and home care aide. These roles have taught me how to provide specialized care and adapt to individual needs, which I bring to every pet I watch. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior pet needing extra support, I have the knowledge and patience to give them the attention they deserve. From training to emotional support, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for! Pet care is a big part of my routine, even on my workdays, but I definitely have more availability Monday through Wednesday since I’m off those days. I love spending my free time giving animals the attention and care they need, whether that’s walking, playing, or just making sure they’re happy and comfortable. In my client's home or mine, I provide attentive care for pets. With a tall fenced yard for safe outdoor play, doggy gates to limit access, and an array of toys, I ensure a stimulating and secure environment. Additionally, I encourage socialization by arranging playdates with other pets to promote companionship and fun.
