“Farrah was amazing. She came in every day that we were on vacation and took the boys for a walk, they were so happy by the time we got home. So thankful we had someone to take care our boys and they got some wiggles out during the day.”
2. Pedro Camillo C.
“My puppy loves his walks but he also loves playing with other dogs. Pedro took him to the dog park to give him a chance to really play and run off his energy. Pedro is so good about looking for ways to help dogs enjoy their outings. I highly recommend him.”
3. Julie R.
“We needed a dog walker on very short notice and Julie came to the rescue! We were able to connect over the phone on the way out of town and then connected her with my Mom, who was staying with the dogs at our house. Loved that she was comfortable to make a plan over the phone at the last minute- as there was not time for anything else. My Mom said the dogs loved her the moment she entered the house and that she was very friendly and on time. I will definitely be using Julie again- nice to have someone you can trust when life gets in the way!”
4. Vicente & Victor A.
“Vicente & Victor were very friendly and very quick on communication. Brandi is pretty picky on who she just goes up to and appears pretty comfortable around them. I was pretty nervous since I've only left her with family and friends she knew but they made me feel comfortable and safe having them take her...btw, this is the first time I e ever used a service like this. I'll be continuing our relationship and look forward to the upcoming meetings ..thx guys ?”

9. Mackenzie S.
“Mackenzie did an amazing job taking care of my dogs! She took them to the park everyday on top of taking them for daily walks. Mackenzie even took the time to groom them and spent time the majority of the day with them as I had previously stated that one of my fur babies has separation anxiety. I could tell how much she cared for them and when I came back home, I found my dogs snuggled up next to her on the couch. I will 100% book her again for any pet sitting needs.”

14. Jelena K.
“Jelena (Rich's wife) took care of our 3 year old German shepherd for 3 weeks. She stayed in our home, managed the house care, walked, fed, and played with Kiki. She also managed the daily medications for our dog smoothly. We didn't have a worry when Jelena was in charge. We could leave home and know that everything would be taken care of. We trust Jelena - as a dog owner herself - to know what's best for our dog.”

About: With years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I've always had pets of my own. My passion for animals never wavers, whether it's providing loving companionship, offering special attention to senior pets, or ensuring puppies get the right training. I treat every pet like family, offering the best care tailored to their individual needs. Caring for pets has always been a part of my routine. Whether it’s spending time with my own animals or helping others with theirs, my schedule is very flexible and i’m always ready to give pets the attention they deserve.

18. Laurie S.
About: I have been taking care of and loving animals my whole life. Different sizes breads. I have always been able to have something special with animals Currently working part-time. On my own time. Which leaves me plenty of quality time to spend with your loved ones. Also leaves lots of time to get them outside to play and walk that poop right out of them. I do always have my dog JoJo with me. She will be with me at every meet and greet as well as every service I provide. So keep that in mind when requesting services from myself. I have a fenced yard. There are beds and or blanket in almost every room. As well as a lick stick in the backyard. Two bowls of water.
