Morgan has been our regular dog walker for a few months now! she’s been extremely reliable and accommodating to occasional shifts in schedule! Anytime we notice something behavioral we might want her to observe with our puppy, she provides great feedback! I absolutely trust her with our dog and recommend her highly!

Jenevieve is a lifesaver! We have a very particular dog who doesn't like everyone he meets so we were nervous to leave him. She generously did a meet and greet with him beforehand and we found out he really liked her, which was a huge relief! She treated him like the spoiled king he is and she was so helpful sending us updates throughout her visits and kept us in the know about how our baby was doing. We are so grateful for her and her excellent service! Could not recommend her more!

Caitlyn was a life saver! I had to be out of town for work, and my daughter also had to work during the day, Caitlyn was not feeling well and she still came and let my pups out. Without her, they would have been in dire straits. She was absolutely amazing and selfless. Recommend 100%

I have a really old dog who is mostly blind and quite arthritic and tends to get really lethargic and depressed when I’m not around, and Natasha took incredible care of my sweet boy!!!! I was shocked that she was able to get him to go for a walk each time she went, but it just proves how amazing she is! I really appreciated the pictures and detailed descriptions of her visits! I miss my pets so much when I’m gone and there’s nothing better than feeling 100% sure your pet is in excellent hands. You want to feel like your pet is being loved the way you love them when you’re there and Natasha does that!!

About: I have been watching the pets of neighbors, friends, and family for as long as I can remember. Whether it is dropping by for a visit while an owner is at work, or spending the week with dogs while their parents are on vacation, I’m ready! I am a student in flight school currently working towards getting my flight instructor certificate, with a lot of free time to watch your pets! I treat your home like my own! Very cleanly with a focus on detail and caring for pets to the owners request. As a pet owner myself, I understand accidents can happen and am always ready to clean up.

About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life and have always had pets, ranging from hedgehogs to donkeys! I am very passionate about animal care and ensuring all animals are pampered and well-loved. My family and I recently lost our two oldest pups, 16-year-old queen diva ZuZu Bailey and 10 year old loveable doofus Bandit. They were huge parts of our life and we miss them terribly, but through the loss we gained Stevie Nicks and Princess Buttercup. They love to play with others! They are accompanied by 2 cats who are treated like royalty and have their own enclosed catio with tunnels. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, as well as giving medications or tending to special needs. Your pet(s) will be in a safe environment and receive the same love and attention as ours! I teach part-time, so I am often home during weekdays and always during summers. When I do work, I am only a short distance and can easily come home during the day to check on the furry friends. Our fenced, spacious yard is perfect for galavanting and play. Our youngest pup is still learning not to chew the remote and is kenneled only if she will be alone for an extended amount of time. Otherwise, dogs are free to roam in our house!

About: I have had pets all of my life! I have helped care for friends animals, my family’s animals, and I have a love for pets!

About: I had to put down my best friend of 13.5 years. A German Shorthair named Zeus.I cherished every day with that dog. I wasn’t going to dive into getting another dog, so rover was my best option :) I fully trained him, never needed a kennel, never bit a soul. I will give your pet(s) the same love and affection I gave my Zeuser. On top of that, I love to train dogs and can instill some obedience in them as well(if necessary). Big, small, I love em all :) My business partner and I manage a company together, so I work my own hours. I’m the definition of a flexible sitter, leaving the house once a (week)day for the gym. Other than that, myself or my girlfriend are at the house showing your pet the love they deserve I have a fully fenced in yard, so your pet will get plenty of play time and exercise! It’s just my girl n me here after losing my best friend, so it’s unlikely your pet will ever need to be kenneled unless they’re extremely wild, or destroying my furniture, or I’m watching other dogs as well and they aren’t getting along.

About: I have my own dogs and they love to play! We frequently visit the dog park! He can get along with any size dog. I will always make sure the animals get along and if not my dog will be separated from the client dog. I have not ever had any issues. When I am not around, in class or at work, I have my significant other who is still able to give potty break and walk with the boarded animals. I am able to board any animals except a snake or a cat. Must have their vaccination! Must have been treated on a regular basis for fleas and ticks! I am able to get the animal to the vet immediately if needed. I also have a vehicle that can accommodate the dog separately or together. My spouse works 4 minutes from our house and he can go home at any time. We also have a security system so we can check on the dogs at any time, as well as having a doggie door that way they can come and go as they please. I have a fenced in gated yard, with plenty of running room. We allow the dogs to go in and out of the house as needed. Water for the dogs 24/7, and we keep the dogs down stairs only. Separate areas for feed times.

Robbie has watched my grouchy old lady cat for me multiple times and goes above and beyond each time. She brought lunch over to sit with her while she checked on food and water levels to give her some cuddles and social time. She takes care of all animals as if they were her own and is the best of the best! Fully recommend - 5 stars !! 🙃

My little brother Jaden is a very patient, compassionate and understanding individual. I personally have 3 degrees in science and have worked intimately with a wide variety of animals in a number of geographic locations and have a deep respect for animals and wildlife of all shapes and sizes. I see much of these same attributes in my little brother. He recently put down his dog of 14 years due to failing health in his old age. He was a very dedicated and empathetic dog owner. I feel this would be a great opportunity for him to keep dogs in his life without having to jump back into a long term commitment right away.

Priscilla loves dogs and happy helped us raise our litter of Great Pyrenees/Red Bone Coon Hound puppies. She was helpful in setting up our puppy area and keeping it clean. She came and helped me keep the puppies and Mom on their feeding schedule and did all our other chores as well. She lives her own animals and is very positive person.
