4. Gregory S.
“We had a great time meeting Greg for our first meet and greet/walk. He even made Pinto feel at ease - and that’s a tough sell. We are looking forward to booking future walks and pet sitting with Greg.”
5. Leah A.
“Leah has stayed with my cats three times. She takes such good care of my fur babies. She has no problem giving them pills when needed (and I have one cat who always needs something). She takes such good care of them and they love it when she watches them. I’m a neurotic pet parent but I don’t worry about them at all when Leah is staying with them.”
6. Richard M.
“Richard has the kindest and most gentle way with animals. His many years of experience working with animals in different settings and with special needs make him an excellent caretaker. As a self-proclaimed obsessed dog mom, I have entrusted my dog to him previously and would continue to do so knowing he is in the best care.”
7. Lindsey S.
“Lindsey is great! She is very patient with my older dog. My dog has anxiety but she is comfortable with her. Highly recommend!”
8. Melissa A.
“Melissa has been taking care of my miniature dachshund Rosie for years now. We adopted Rosie and Rosie despises most people. It’s a challenge because we could never really leave her with anyone and felt like a kennel would further traumatize her. Melissa just knows how to make an anxious dog feel comfortable. She’s gentle and respectful and patient. It has made my life so much easier to have someone I can trust to be in my home and take care of my emotionally complicated dog. She has spent the night here and come by for quick walks. I’m so grateful for her and I think, secretly, Rosie is also.”
9. Laura D.
