1. Victoria M.
“Victoria has always been very happy to watch my Chihuahua. Chico & her bonded very well & he would love when she would come for a couple hours a day while I was busy to be watched so he could have company. She is very trustworthy & caring. When we come back home, she always leaves a note or sends a text stating her last visit and wanting us to message her to make sure we are home and Chico is in good condition.. Definitely recommend her!”


2. Meaghan & Johnny L.
“I wish this had been an option years ago! I can't imagine a more loving, affectionate family to trust one's pet with. If you want a great alternative to boarding where your furry companion is smothered with love and attention, look no further!”


3. Taylor B.
“She is one of the sweetest and nicest people I have ever met. She treats animals as good as she would a human being. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter”


4. Danielle D.

“Danielle is leash training and has made great progress in a short period of time. She also has taken the time to share her strategies so we can reinforce the training on our own. We are excited to continue. Danielle is very easy to communicate with and responds quickly. We had to reschedule due to local storms and the stress that this causes our boys. But she was mindful to check in and verify that it was what we preferred.”

7. Kristen H.
About: I've helped care for all kinds of animals, from baby chicks to horses since I was a little girl. I had my first dog about 15 years and he was like my baby. I currently have a chihuahua and mixed breed (Italian greyhound/jack Russell) I brought home from Italy. I can care for birds, fish, and reptiles as well. I'll even feed your chickens. I have 4 years of experience fostering puppies and dog sitting as well. I'm flexible on hours. I love to go on walks, play, and make it a fun day! Pets are family and I would care for yours like they were my own. While following any instructions you give, I'll ensure your pet is safe and accommodated at all times. I'm a student and homeschooling mom, so I'm flexible on time. I play fetch a couple times a day with my own pets and work on simple commands with rewards. I make sure my pets feel loved and cared for. With guidance on how you'd like me to care for your pet, I can be accommodating. If your dog plays well with others, and you are looking for boarding, I have a large fenced in yard and a safe neighborhood for walks. I can follow your feeding schedule, no matter if it's dry, wet, or raw foods. I can come morning or afternoons, or both if you need me to come to your home.


8. Kaitlyn S.
About: Ever since I was a baby I’ve been around animals. Whether it be dogs, cats, goats, horses, etc. I have such a big heart for animals! I am currently unemployed so I am always available! Any time of day is open for me except for Sunday mornings as I will be attending church. I have a fenced in backyard and 2 dachshunds! One is a puppy and the other is an older dog that is calm. I never go anywhere without my pup!


9. Kayla J.

“Kayla was absolutely amazing with our pup! She was very attentive and made us feel very comfortable. Kayla will definitely be our dog walker from now on!”


10. Lauren M.


“Lauren was amazing. She tired out my baby on his walk, she walked the full time. Showed up on time. Talked with me about concerns I had with walking. We shared stories about our babies. She loved on all of my babies. And she talked to me about how I can do better with my pup with walks and things since he is my first! I will definitely be using her again if she’ll have me and Scout!”


11. Chelsea R.
About: I have been a dog owner since I was a kid, and I want nothing more in life than to surround myself with puppy love. Pets responsibilities and life happens, let me be there to help! I am currently balancing my home life with my kids, and have quite a bit of free time when they are at school, or doing activities. I follow pet parent instructions based on the care and special needs for your pets personality. I am comfortable with whatever direction you want for the comfort of your pet.


12. Kiara P.
“I have known Kiara for a very long time. In that time, I have noticed that she is caring, friendly and devoted to her fur babies as well as others around her. She has assisted with several things in regards to my fur baby. She’s a very reliable and dependable person. I would highly recommend her as someone to pet sit, walk your, dog or even stop by to do drop-ins.”


13. Stephen N.
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 2. I’ve looked after dogs for others since I was ten. I will treat your animals exactly as I’d treat my own. I am employed part-time for a local venue. My schedule is incredibly flexible to match your needs. The taking care of our animals is incredibly important and I feel thankful for being able to help. My dog, Lucy, is trained in verbal, whistle, and non-verbal commands. She has been trained as a PTSD Support and Service Animal since she was two.


14. Kelly K.
“Kelly is a fantastic pet owner and cat lover! She grew up with cats and currently has an orange cat named Butter who lives a very happy life and is well cared for by Kelly. Additionally, she has pet sat the cats and dogs of friends and family many times without any issues. Kelly is a great communicator and will follow any special instructions when it comes to caring for a pet! Given Kelly's experience owning a cat and pet sitting experience, I highly recommend Kelly as a pet sitter.”

She is always bringing an animal home asking to keep it and when we can't she makes sure they have a safe place to go. I would trust her with any animals. She is very educated in animal care and if she doesent know the answer or solution she will find it out!”


20. Retta S.
“I've paid Retta to watch over my dogs a plethora of times. She's taken care of them while I've been at work and for multiple days when I have to go out of town. They adore her to death, and honestly, I wouldn't pick anyone else to watch over them. She's trustworthy, caring, and follows all instructions, which is particularly important since the chihuahua has a number of food and outdoor allergies. I recommend that anyone that needs someone to watch over her pets to choose Retta.”
