4. Rhiannon H.
“Rhiannon has cared for my German Shepherds several times while I was away on business. She treated them like her own dogs. My female was expecting and went into labor. Rhiannon sprang into action and helped my dog deliver her pups! She is also exceptional at organizing their grooming and vet appointments for me, as I have a very busy schedule. I would highly recommend her services. She is very professional and dependable.”

About: Hello! I am a work from home professional who has many years of pet boarding experience. I offer a safe, reliable environment with exceptional pet care services in my home. It is my everyday routine and life. Pets are simply family, a stress reliever and a joy to be around. Attention to detail is very important. I cater specially to their needs, provide a loving/stimulating environment, and am consistent with communication with the pet owners. I treat each pet as if they’re my own.

“Samantha took AMAZING care of our babies and our home. She sent lots of updates and photos giving us peace of mind. Our very shy cat even came out to get cuddles with Samantha.

“Raeann was wonderful with my dog and cat! She took such great care of my very senior dog who needed extra attention. I’m so grateful to her for keeping my worries down so I could relax and have a great vacation.”
9. Emma K.
“As a dog and pet owner herself and having experience and passion in the pet industry, with Emma you will receive genuine care and interest in your dog's well-being as well as fun and safety and even some additional training if desired. Always researching because dogs are her first love, she comes with training tips, animal psychology/behavioral understanding and expertise on nutrition/problem areas, all in addition to the most important trait when caring for others' dogs - - that she simply adores them. She is responsible, timely, dependable and honest and will provide your dog with devotion, direction and true interest and involvement. After pet-sitting my puppy for nine days, he now greets Emma as if she is his favorite person, and I know and he knows, that is because of the heart invested in his care. Entrusting your pooch to someone else's care is a difficult decision that can come with much anxiety. For this difficult and monumental decision, I thoroughly and highly recommend Emma for the peace of mind that comes with knowing your dog or dogs are in the very best of hands.”
10. Harley M.
“A+++ Harley was knowledgeable and mature, caring and trustworthy! We could not have found anyone more qualified to pet/house sit for us. There was not one moment of concern while we were away as to whether or not our pets were in good hands. She communicated every day with photos and messages showing how happy they were. We couldn't be more grateful for her service, her time and her attention shown in loving our dogs as if they were her own.”
11. Robert B.
About: I’ve been pet-sitting since I was a young child, I have always loved animals. Dogs especially, they held a special place in my fathers’ heart, and now in mine as well. Just being able to help provide a needed service for animals that are taken for granted so often in this world makes me a happy person. I love the opportunity to be welcomed by another family as someone to be trusted with such an important member of their home. The safety and well-being of the customers pets is always an absolute priority in my commitment to dog and animal care. I can handle most any level of training or lack there of in pets and am willing to take in customers who require special care for their animals. No job is too small, and any service that can be provided will be done so as promptly as possible. Thank you for choosing me to be the care-taker of your beloved pets. This is my full time passion. I spend all day every day loving animals and make them feel at home and well taken care of. I have an open yard and always walk on a leash, but I have fenced in area where dogs can play under supervision. Inside my home is free range for all to play and have fun. Dogs can be allowed to play with others or be out just by themselves, whichever works best for them.
12. Daniel M.
“Danny is amazing with pets of all types of personalities! His whole family is full of animal lovers (some working in the veterinary and animal care industries) and he has recently been working really hard to become a dog trainer. He has an eclectic but well trained bunch of pets at home and, whenever I bring my dog over, he always includes her in all the play time and training. My dog can be a bit fearful at times, but he's helped her a lot with her confidence!”
13. Janette F.
About: I will be graduating with a Masters in Biology. I know a lot about animals and can handle whatever breed you throw at me, big or small. I have two fur babies of my own and would love to care for yours. I love being outdoors and active so your pet will have lots of exercise. I am a full-time student online. Your pet wouldn’t have to be in a cage at all because I am home all day! Willing to pick up and drop off. I am clean and detail-oriented. I have a personal vehicle to drive to and from your home. I can haul your pets to the local dog park, vet, or somewhere to go exploring!
