3. Eve O.
“We have had Eve sit our three cats on multiple occasions and she always does a wonderful job. She is kind, caring, and all three of them (even our skittish outdoor rescue) love spending time with her. She always keeps us updated after every visit and makes sure that we are alerted to any potential issues or problems. She is our go-to sitter and I highly recommend her.”
4. Joseph G.
“My Ellie LOVES Joey ❤️ As soon as she sees him her eyes just light right up and puppy-mania consumes the rest of her lol! He is naturally very observant and catches even the smallest changes in her body language, behaviors & bark! Joey started as Ellie's walker, and now he's Ellie's friend, who walks her 💜”

“Dylan is a very responsive and punctual dog walker. I feel fortunate to have connected with him and look forward to having him walk my pup in the future!”
9. Colleen R.
“Colleen is great with my dog Jilly. The first time meeting Colleen, Jilly really seemed calmer then what I was used to seeing with new people coming into the house. She does great with her on her walks. I am on a/an ongoing schedule and I love the flexibility with her schedule to add days for coverage if needed. She has helped me tremendously because finding someone to cover the hours I needed was becoming harder to find. I would definitely recommend Colleen.”

“James is always super reliable! So happy he could do this last minute request when I was stuck in the ER. I will absolutely continue to book with him.”
13. Sarah P.
“Sarah P. is the definition of an animal lover. There is not a single critter on this earth that she wouldn’t love and care for. From dogs to snakes to spiders, Sarah treats them all with love and gentleness. My dog, Daenerys, is my entire world and there are few people I would trust to look after her. Sarah would be my first option every single time. She’s trustworthy, dependable, and I know my pup will get as much love and pets from her as she would get from me. Anyone would be lucky to have the chance to hire Sarah to take care of their fur babies.”
14. Shanisa J.
“I met Shanisa this past winter as part of a hike group. She was a great person to get to know. She asked permission to bring a dog to some of our hikes. She handled the dog with great care, helped work with situations around other dogs, and created a safe environment for the dog in her care. I recommend her for a pet caregiver with no hesitations.”
