1. Nicole M.

“Nicole was amazing and on a short notice! She followed instructions perfectly. Will ask for her help again.”


2. Layla C.

“Layla was very responsible and was able to accommodate a full day of walking for my dog with short notice. She is professional, punctual, and personable. My dog loved her right away and happily trotted away for walks with her. She made she he stayed engaged and made full use of the walk time, even though his walks are typically short. She went above and beyond to make sure both myself and my dog were comfortable with her walking him.”


3. Hali L.

“I can’t recommend Hali enough! She does an amazing job with my energetic pup—by the time I get home, my dog is completely slumped and satisfied. It’s clear she gets the exercise and attention she needs during their walks. After just a week of consistent outings, I’m already seeing an improvement in her behavior at home. I feel so much more at ease knowing she’s in such good hands!”


4. Jorinee T.
“Jorinee is an excellent care giver, she has watched over my pups when I leave out of town for work, or on vacation. She is very communicative and very flexible when it comes to caring for your pets needs. I would recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a pet care taker. I have worked with her during her internship and seen the care she gives to the animals she cares for.”

6. Rachael M.

“Rachael is the best dog walker ever. She’s very flexible with her times and I can always count on her to walk my dog when I need her. She’s a true professional and I’d give her more stars than just 5 if that was possible.”


7. Elizabeth M.
“Elizabeth has loved animals as long as I have known her. The care and love that she gives my pets when she watches them is how I treat them, and that is very hard to find. I would trust all of my "babies" anytime with them in her care. We have had her watch our dogs many times and never had an ounce of worry. She treats them like her own.”

9. Bridget C.
About: I have a lot of experience with senior dogs, puppies, dogs with behavioral issues, dogs with disabilities and medical issues, etc. I was a behavioral therapist for 7 years so I understand patience and kindness, I also understand that each dog has their own unique behavioral characteristics that I can easily adapt to. I currently work from home so my work schedule is very flexible. I am able to accommodate walks or check ins with a short notice. Currently, I have a senior dog and a puppy. I have had a very medically challenged dog and a very aggressive dog in the past. I work well with all types of dogs (pitties are my favorite) but I love them all.


10. Audrey B.
About: I have always taken care of animals such as dogs, cats, fish, and sometimes other types of animals. I have taken care of dogs ranging from a few months old to senior. I have experience giving medication and providing basic training, though I am not a professional. I am willing to take care of pets any time of day, though I have limited availability this summer. I can stop by briefly or stay and play with pets. I have my own pets at home, so am not available to bring pets to my home. I am willing to travel to a client’s house and adjust to any needs or wants of the client’s. I can let pets outside in a fenced in yard or take them on a walk if that is preferred. I am also okay with feeding and administering medications if needed. Brushing and basic hygiene care is possible if required, though price may increase.


11. Alexis M.
“Alexis is amazing with dogs . She enjoys the daily walks with her dog , and enjoys just getting to take care of pets. Alexis is the perfect dog sitter if you are in need.”


12. Taryn M.

“Taryn does and great job with my shepard. She's been very reliable with my rotating schedule and communicates great.”




13. Alexandria W.

“I have big dogs. They are trained, but I still tend to worry about their strength taking an outside person by surprise. Alex was GREAT with my Boerboels (aka South African mastiffs). I really look forward to her working with my dogs again!”


14. Guadalupe R.
“Lupe has watched my pets over the past couple of years. I can always count on her to take care of my pets well in my home. My cats could be a bit shy with strangers but they were able to warm up to Lupe fast. They feel at home when she takes care of them, which is a relief when I am away. In addition, she keeps me updated daily with pictures and any important info every time. I highly recommend her ❤️”


15. Toya S.
“Best care ever! I was skeptical at first about leaving my dog. This is my first time leaving her outside of my family! To my surprise she warmed up to Toya right away which made me feel even more relaxed leaving her. I will definitely be bringing my pup back”


16. Vanessa R.
“Vanessa has taken care of my two frenchies multiple times in the past year. She loves them like they are her own and watches them with care. She followed their feeding schedules perfectly and sent me pictures every time. I would trust my dogs with Vanessa any time!”

“Our second time with Gabby and she has been amazing. She is so kind and loving towards Pongo and he loves seeing her! Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby!”


19. Citlalli H.
“Citlalli was the best petsitter! She went above and beyond caring for my little baby Gregory, who at the time needed to take antibiotics. She is reliable and a great communicator. She made sure Gregory's needs were met and kept me updated whenever she took him anywhere or whenever he did something cute/silly. I deff recommend Citlalli to everyone I know.”


20. Jessica S.
About: I know how hard it is to leave animals alone for hours, which is why I stay at home with my 7 pets. Most of them are rescues I take my children to school in the mornings. I'm usually available after 9am, and even more available after 4pm. Weekends I'm more available for boarding I have the space for whatever needs your dog or cat has. I do have crates available if needed. I enjoy long walks and can use the company.
