12. Oscar s.
“Oscar prepares, does research, and buys the tools he needs to adequately handle your pups! He's put in the work to adopt how he handles dogs of various different needs including those who might have some trouble such as separation anxiety. He's also doing this for a good cause saving up for college. I'm rooting for him, and you should definitely hire him if you're looking for a dog walker/pet sitter in the area. :)”

“I had to leave for a few days for a work trip, and I was extremely anxious about leaving my little-old-man of a cat home alone.

She did a great job and gave me some much needed peace of mind for my trip.”

About: I have been taking care of neighbors and friends pets all my life, from rabbits to dogs to cats to turtles. I even have worked on my friends farm. I love all kinds of animals and I am equipped to handle anything thrown at me. I can't wait to hang out with your pet! I am currently working during the daytime till 4, but I have a break where I can come check on your animal. I have lots of free time to go on walks and spend time with your animal as well. I have an extensive backyard and three story home, with a large open space in the basement for animals of any kind. It is very safe with no small things to choke on.
19. Kathryn M.
“We had to book a last minute sitter and Kathryn did not disappoint. Even our cat who is scared of everyone came out to say hello to Kathryn! Kathryn was kind, great with communication and made sure the experience was as easy as can be. Would definitely have Kathryn watch our pets again.”
20. Alyssa S.
“Alyssa was amazing! She was thoughtful in her preparation visit, asking good questions to be prepared for any situation. During the visits, she spent a lot of time with our two cats and was good at respecting their personalities, working well with the social one and our less social one. We appreciated the detailed daily updates and pictures! She was also kind enough to water some outdoor flowers and left a newtoy for our cats! They will definitely be looking forward to seeing her again soon!”
