Meredith took care of our house, car, and hens for 3 nights. She was great. Very professional. Took great care of the cat and the hens and the house was left in perfect condition. I highly recommend her.

Teri was terrific with Gully. She stayed at the house and walked Gully everyday, played ball everyday. Teri gave us a little picture and update each day. She loves dogs and her stellar reviews are a testament to what a great job she does. Will without a doubt call Teri next time we need help

Kailee is outstanding with dogs. She has 2 Bernese Mountain dogs in the family, and she is always involved in the care of the dogs, feeding, walking. I highly recommend Kailee, she has a very friendly, calm demeanor that dogs enjoy being around her.

Elaine cared for our cats on multiple occasions, for shorter and longer periods. Besides doing the essentials, Elaine always spent extra time to play with them, brush them, and just hang out. She took care to learn the habits and quirks of our pets. I wish we still lived near each other. Elaine is an animal lover and I recommend her wholeheartedly as a responsible, kind, and generous pet caregiver.

Here's a testimonial you might use: "I cannot recommend our dog walker highly enough! For over seven years, Jaelyn has not only been a reliable and caring presence in our dog, Brady’s life but also a source of peace of mind for us. She's shown incredible dedication and love, always going above and beyond to ensure our dog was happy, healthy, and thriving. Her passion for animals shines through in her meticulous care and deep understanding of our dog's needs. We've been so lucky to have her, and any pet would be fortunate to be in her caring hands.

Colin has been a gift . My 10 month old Tully is in love with him. Colin is fun, loving, and patient with her. It was important for me to find some one that was all that as well as being trustworthy.

Lucy is reliable and connects with dogs immediately! She walks our Rottweiler a few times a week. When ever Lucy shows up to take Koda for a walk, he is immediately wagging his tail and giving her kisses and then waits at the door for her to go on their walks. Thankful to have Lucy walk our big goof ball a few times a week! He also loves car rides with Lucy as they stop once a week for puppachinos.

Carolyn was so great to work with! She came over twice before her stay to meet us and make sure our dog felt comfortable with her. She took such good care of our pets and sent so many pictures and updates while we were away. We came home to two very happy pets! We would highly recommend Carolyn and will definitely be using her again 😁

Savannah is a passionate, thoughtful animal caretaker! She has watched my cat for me on several occasions and always follows my instructions (I'm very picky, so her attention to detail means a lot!). Savannah goes above and beyond the basics and plays with and engages my cat so she hardly notices I'm gone. You would be lucky to have Savannah watch your pet!

About: My family has had two cats since I was born. I love taking care of them, playing with them and snuggling with them. I owned a Guinea pig for many years and he was well taken care of. I have grown up around small and medium sized dogs and have been a dog sitter for friends and family. I have fed both cats and dogs, taken dogs on walks and taken care of whatever they might need. I will take care of your pet as if it is my own! I work part-time so I have a flexible schedule Monday- Sunday and most holidays. I am able and willing to make any time work for you. I am a college student so I am home for the summer but will be going back to school in August. With new clients I would like to schedule a meet and greet so that I know how to best take care of your pet. I am more than capable to provide any service that your pet might need and will make sure that your pet is happy and healthy when you return!

Stephanie was great with my cats who are very needy. She was great about sending me pictures and updates of how they were doing and made sure they were kept on the schedule they are used to and made sure my cat got his medication every 12 hours. I felt very comfortable leaving them and will definitely book again!

William is an incredibly kind, generous and caring man. His love for animals and gentle good nature emanate from William the moment you meet him. My two dogs were clearly well loved an cared for in the time I was gone. Every day he provided photo and status to updates his love and care was much appreciated! William also returned my home in better condition then it was left to him. Everything was immaculate! He even provided some new treats for my dogs to enjoy! I recommend him very highly and feel blessed to have met William. I will certainly be using William again and would recommend him to all of my closest friends and family!!!
