16. Alizabeth W.
About: I’ve done dog photography as well as taken a dog and cat first aid course! I’ve grown up along side many animals from bunnies to ferrets. I love four legged friends. I do school in the mornings on weekdays, so I am available at 2pm till the late evenings. On weekends I am available from 10am to late evenings. I am used to walking and commanding all sizes of dog.Ive taken a pet aid course so I can act instantly when needed. I have 6 animals at home with my family and our animals are another extension of it, so I know how important it is for our pets to be safe.
17. Mercy L.
“Mercy went above and beyond caring for our 3 animals. They spent time with BMO (who is a lovebird) reading to him and making sure he stays social while we were away. They gave lots of attention to our very needy cat who loves all the attention from everyone. They made sure to check in with our elderly cat to make sure she was OK while we were away because she gets stressed. I highly recommend Mercy for your pet care needs, and we will be using them again.”
18. Ashlynne R.
“Me and my boys absolutely loved Ashlynne , and hate that she moved away..I have a German shepherd(Jinx) and a pit bull (Cosmo) with hyper energy yet well trained, she had no problem taking them walking and getting them out the house every day (I work long hours some days) adding the few times I asked her to dog sit for the weekends I went on trips, she did everything possible for them and loved them like her own . I was FaceTimed/sent pictures randomly, they were definitely spoiled by her . she will be missed and I hope she visits us soon!”
19. Scott M.
“Scott recently took care of my dog and he did an excellent job. My pup was happy and content under Scott’s care. He communicated with me through out the time I was away and my dog was well cared for. I would recommend Scott for your pet care needs!”
