Meghan is great with our Australian Shepherd! She provided us updates while we were away and made sure he got his exercise and energy out, which is important to us with such a high energy dog. Would recommend Meghan for dog walking/sitting!

Kim has been a constant "go to" for looking after my oder dog. She is first, incredibly compassionate & a TRUE dog lover. She is more responsible & reliable than anyone I know. My dog adores her and the tail wags as soon as she walks in. Be it a need to let him out & for a walk or to look after or a few days, I could to ask for anyone more reliable than Kim. I simply have no reservations or worries when he is in her care.

It is my pleasure to recommend James for dog walking/caring services. James has taken care of two of my dogs. My dog, Sammy, was an older rescue who needed gentle care. Our new puppy, Haley, is a rescue puppy who has unlimited energy. James has shown parience and love to each dog. He is reliable and is trustworthy. Your dogs will be in good hands when James is with them.

Teri was amazing. She was quick and easy to communicate with before and during her stay. She send me lovely photos and updates throughout the stay to give me peace of mind. She treated my house as if it were her own and left it spotless when I got back. My boys were taken care of wonderfully and I never had to worry. 10/10 would recommend and book Teri again! 💕💕

Before I met Elaine I took my 9 year old cat to the kennel when I traveled. It was fine, and he seemed to do well there. However, nothing can replace the experience of being home and in the hands of someone who is truly a loving, caring, enthusiastic animal lover. That is Elaine. She exudes excitement at the opportunity to spend time with him and thoroughly enjoys his idiosyncrasies. And he has many! She always goes above and beyond any expectation for his care, and delights in the experience. She even took care of him while he had a cone after a procedure so that I would not have to cancel holiday travel plans. She is the ideal person to select for the care of a beloved furry family member, and she is the only person for us.

Sam is an absolute gem! She was happy to stay with our dog Cody for a week with only a day's notice. Her communication was excellent. She sent photos and/or videos everyday, took him with her on errands and even bought him a doggie ice cream. I highly recommend Sam!

Nick is a blessing for me when I travel. It's rare that I trust someone to watch my 2 labradoodles (my children) I met Nick while he was working in the local health food store near me. Everyone there only had wonderful things to say about him and as I got to know him and spoke with him more I realized what a kind, caring, loving person he was. The first time he sat for my dogs, I knew they loved him! Rocco greeted me for a moment when I got home from a few days away and then went to sit with Nick on the couch and acted like I was interrupting them and Sal was bouncing all over him not wanting him to leave. I have used him for quick walks and also for week long stays. He also sent pictures and updates while I was away. Nick is one of the rare people I would use to stay with my boys!

Tressa does such a wonderful job taking care of our yellow lab, Savannah. She is patient and very careful when walking her as she is dog aggressive. Savannah loves getting pets and love from Tressa every time she comes to visit! I would recommend Tressa to anyone who is looking for a responsible dog walker/sitter.

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!!!

About: I’ve grown up and had dogs my whole life (23 years) we had two for most of my life but now just one. I’ve raised several puppies and don’t mind the tough task as because they are so cute it’s worth it. Not only am i extremely experienced from my own dogs but we’ve also taken in and cared for several rescue dogs while they were finding new homes. I am a student so I’m only available to work Monday wed, Friday and the weekends. On those days I’m available to work all day. I only care for pets at the clients house, but i love taking dogs for walks and just spending time playing with them wherever it may be.
