“Brent is wonderful with my very energetic Staffie! He always runs things by me. Like, “hey, can I run with Maya?” I’m thinking, “heck yeah! Tire that dog out!” I get home to a nice tired pup.” My wife is disabled and cannot walk her on days I’m at work.”

“Amanda was great! Super friendly and accommodating to our schedule. Our dogs loved her when we had our meet up and know they had the best time.”

6. Wydia T.
“Wydia did an awesome job taking care of our Maya girl!!! Maya is paralyzed in her hind legs and needs expression. Wydia took care of walking and expressing her with confidence which made us comfortable and at peace! She also took care to make sure that Maya was ok for her walks. The temperatures were high during her evening walk and Wydia adjusted the time (with our permission) to make sure Maya was not overly exerted and would not over heat!! WYDIA…we will be back! Thank you so much!”

14. Isabel U.
About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind for a few years( Mostly cats, dogs, and fish). My neighbors and friends seem to like animals as much as I do so I can fulfill the needs of most pets I come across. When you’ve fed a baby iguana most other things come easy. I’m currently an online student without a pet of my own so I’m eager to fill the rest of my day up with so many different personalities. I live in a townhouse with ample space for a dog to inhabit! My surrounding terrain is also very dynamic and I can get your furry child to a park anytime.
15. Abigail & Christopher B.
“Abby has house sit and taken care of our 3 furry babies while we were away. One of our pups needed medication and Abby was great in ensuring he received his meds. Abby is loving, gentle and kind, and most of all, trustworthy. This is all I could ask for from someone I am entrusting my furry family members and my home to. Thanks Abby!!!!”
16. Elizabeth J.
“Elizabeth is one of the biggest animal lovers I have ever known. She is a true blessing to our furry friends. I was a dog walker/pet sitter for 7 years professionally. As a result, I was around many wonderful people who had a tremendous passion for taking care of our furry family members. Elizabeth is among the most caring and passionate in that group. She goes out of her way to greet, befriend, and care for every animal she comes across. Caring for our furry friends is a true calling for her. Elizabeth is not only one of the kindest people you could ever meet, but she always looks out for the best interests of others, especially when it comes to animals. She is truly a person that I would trust with any pet that I will ever have in my family. She will be a blessing to your pet's life.”
17. Yenessis N.
“Yenessis is a loving, compassionate and knowledgeable pet sitter. She cared for my 3 birds, two dogs and cat while we went out of town. When my dogs see her they get very excited which says a lot!!! She has proven to be trustworthy and dependable. I highly recommend her for your for animal, dog sitting or walking needs.”
