1. Lauryn A.

“Lauryn was awesome! I think my dog has a new best friend. She came before we booked her to meet Ginger and she took the time to listen to my dog's needs (she was diagnosed with MUE) and go around my house. We used her services twice the same day. She sent me photos, followed all my instructions, and kept me posted. She did a fantastic job. I will definitely book her again.”


2. Jessica J.

“Jessica was great! Our dogs seemed to really like her. She was prompt and arrived on time. Also appreciated that she was willing to meet the dogs prior to the Drop In.”




3. Rae'Na L.

“Rae’na was fantastic with Thanos! She send pictures at every check in. She was very sweet did a meet and greet before and Thanos loves her! Thanks again Rae’na, I will be booking again!”


4. Cora V.

“Cora is great with our dog! It’s reassuring to know he is in good hands when we can’t be there. Cora has been flexible with scheduling and very reliable and trustworthy.”


5. Kelsey S.

“Great work! Orville loves his visits! Thanks so much! I will reach out later this week for another visit if you’re free (as I will be in the city again for work and visiting friends).”


6. Elliot L.

“Elliot was fantastic, and I highly recommend them if you need anybody to drop in on your pets, and give them some food, attention, and playtime!”


7. Namira J.

“This was Namira's second time watching my elderly dog, who added two pills since our last visit, and has been starting to struggle with joints. She was engaged and made sure to check in with me when he was potentially having a bad day so I could evaluate and I could feel confident he was in good hands once again.”


8. Keegan C.

“Keegan has been taking care of my dogs since last month and we are very happy with him. He is reliable and takes very good care of my pups. It has been a pleasure working with him.”


9. Angela B.


“Angela is fantastic! Dependable and Kind!”


10. Kellie H.

“Kellie was wonderful! Great communication and took amazing care of my cat Cleo. Very thankful for her help, especially with additional check-ins scheduled. I highly recommend Kellie!”


11. Aerin J.
“Aerin has experience with a variety of pets. She loves animals and will give them lots of love while you are away! She is dependable and will take good care of your home as well.”


12. Emma D.

“Emma did a great job caring for our golden retriever. She was very good at communicating to me about her drop in visits! I hope she will be able to care for our dog again!”


13. Michael F.

“Michael took great care of my two cats while I was out of town. My cats are happy and healthy, and my home was cared for. Book Michael for your next trip away!”


14. Karli W.
“Karli is AMAZING with pet care and I would put my total trust in my cat's safety with her. It's funny - I think sometimes my cat likes her more than me...she's always so happy when Karli hangs out with her. She's a lover of all animals, and has experience with cats and dogs, but also farm animals (goats, horses, peacocks, llamas, chickens) due to her previous work experience working at a children's petting farm. That girl would put herself through anything to care for the animals around here. You're doing yourself a favor booking with her.”


15. Lindsay B.
“Good afternoon...My name is Pete and I have gotten to know Lindsay through training her wonderful dog Cleo. What most impresses me about Lindsay is her concern and caring for not only her dog but the dogs around her that she is responsible for. It is not often that you find young people with a high sense of responsibility but I knew Lindsay had it because she wanted to make sure her dog got good training and quite honestly she has done a superb job with Cleo I can only imagine she would do a superb job with other dogs she is asked to watch or walk.”


16. Kaitlyn L.

“Kaitlyn did a great job keeping me updated and sending a picture of my dog at home. My dog seemed much more relaxed after her visit. Thank you!”


17. Jesse Z.
“Jesse watched our shih tzu, Bruno, for us while we were on vacation several times. Jesse took amazing care of our pup along with our house. He updated us every day and night to let us know when Bruno was fed and when he took his medication. Bruno loved getting to spend time with Jesse whenever we were gone and always looked forward to seeing him again!”


18. Jade G.
“Jade has cared for my dog on several occasions. I primarily need assistance when traveling for work and vacations. She always makes sure that my dog gets some exercise, has time to get his business done outside, and has food and water. She is respectful with my home and is very friendly with my dog.”


19. Bree M.
About: I have been petting sitting ever since high school. I’ve cared for dogs (all sizes), many many cats (I grew up with 3 cats), rats, hamsters, rabbits, snakes, basically anything you could keep as a pet haha. I’m a quick learner and very flexible. Anything you need, I can do :) I am currently pursing my college degree in Art Education and during the breaks I have lots of downtime. Even during the school year I have light days that could be used to care for pets! I have done plenty of house sitting before in the past. I always keep respectful boundaries while being in and around your home and personal belongings.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover. I had a lot of animals growing up and still do! I previously worked as a horse trainer and recently got certified as a dog trainer too. I also have experience with other animals, such as reptiles, cats, and some small animals. I'm going to school for zoology so animal behavior is my forte! I also have two dogs that live my family, a beagle mix named Charlie and a shit zu names Wicket, but I have experience with a lot of different breeds and energy levels. I also work part time as a dog trainer and manager at a pet supplies store where I advice pet parents daily on nutrition and the power of possitive dog training. Yes
