“Maria shows a great deal of compassion and attention for pets in an effortless way. She is kind and loving and pets love her. She is very diligent and careful when it comes to following particular rules.

8. Madelyn Y.
“I have known Madelyn for almost 10 years, and I have never met anyone with as much compassion as she does regarding animals, especially dogs. Not only has she had a dog her entire life, she has worked several years as a Pet Care Supervisor where she received professional training in handling all kinds of dogs. I personally have a Giant Schnauzer who is over 100lb and quite the handful to deal with. Madelyn is the first person I call when I need someone to look after him. With her experience, she has no trouble handling him and I never have any worries when I leave her to look out for him. I believe that with Madelyn's professional experience and love for dogs she would be the perfect pet caregiver.”

15. Carlos W.
“Carlos is the most considerate person I have never met. As his roommate, I found out he cleans his pet’s bathroom at lease twice a day and always checking around his cat’s behavior. Carlos is a very responsible person as well, if you choose him as a sitter, you don’t need to worry; he will take care your pet probably better than you.”
16. Lisa T.

17. Sumaira K.
About: I'm a kind & attentive pet lover! Quick learner, patient, and dedicated to providing safe, loving care for your furry friend. I bring enthusiasm and reliability from having two of my own furry pets, taking care of them, babies, and my neighbor's dog here and there from a young age! My schedule is pretty open so I am flexible for most weekday mornings, afternoons, evenings. Weekends I can do afternoons and evenings. Hit me up and I'm sure we can work something out! I have a fenced backyard but I prefer to do drop-ins/check-ins for your pet, and will do pet walking at your convenience. I can offer more clarity/details if you hit me up with what your needs are!
18. Trisha L.
“Trisha is absolutely wonderful! My 3 dogs (a pit bull, Ridgeback and chihuahua) loved her instantly. I never had someone else care for my dogs as long as I've had them so I was a bit nervous but Trisha made me feel so comfortable. I work 12 hour days and my husband left the country for a month and I would have been lost without her! 5 days a week at noon and she was always in time and sent photos! She took the time to give one of my dogs (who had to be put to sleep that month) so much extra love and attention because I couldn't be there. I thought I had to make the decision alone but she was there to help me through it, comfort me and check up on me. She goes above and beyond for her clients and their babies. She's the best!”
