14. Gillyn M.
“Gillyn’s love for animals transcends into her actions. Her complete devotion into making sure every animal (including my own) is well taken care of — giving them warm baths, taking for walks at their favorite park, and occasionally surprising them with toys. She even was able to buy my little one a hoodie during winter, unprompted. She’s so sweet. My dogs love when she visits, as do I! Changing the meaning of “a dog is a man’s best friend.” It’s actually Gillyn!”
15. India B.
“India took great care of our puppy Mac. She looked after him ar our house on a day when my schedule was incredibly busy. We had a very early start (7:30am) and she arrived exactly on time. She was very patient and kind with him, even when he got rambunctious with zoomies and digging around in the garden. She made sure he got his breakfast on time and took him for walks during the day. She also sent us some great photos of his walks in a nearby park. Mac was very comfortable and at ease around her. I highly recommend India and would love to have her take care of Mac again when the need arises and if her schedule permits.”
16. Tzu-Wei T.
About: I have six years of experience taking care of cats, and still ongoing. I live to learn from cats of their preferred ways of interaction, or no interaction at all. I am usually available on weekday afternoons and evenings. I love to jog with dogs, or simply cuddle with cats on the couch or floor or bed. For cats, I’m able to adapt to his or her preference, also making sure they have everything they need for the day. For dogs, I’m able to walk them at a nearby park.
17. Tom D.
“Tom was great! He came for an initial meetup so our dog would be comfortable with him. He was clean and respectful of our home. Most of all, he took really good care of our pup while we were away.”
18. Steven E.
“I moved here from out of state and needed to find a reliable, loving, kind person to walk and watch ou fur babies from time to time A difficult task when you are new in town. To our great fortune, Steven was recommended to us Steven is responsible, reliable, and professional! Our pups simply adore him. When they are with him I know they are in the best of hands. We highly recommend Steven.”
19. Courtney K.
“Courtney is AWESOME. She is sweet, trustworthy, and so kind and loving to our pets. I felt so calm knowing that she was here taking care of our babies. Definitely recommend and we will definitely partner with Courtney for future trips. ❤️”
