“Olivia was great with my dog Penny, she is very sweet. She was willing to do what was needed to get her to take her medicine when not feeling good. She also took the time to come meet us before the weekend walks. Would definitely use her again.”
“Amanda has become my first choice when I need a pet sitter and even my shy cat comes right out for her, when it takes a couple of days before she'll grace other sitters with her presence. I know my kitties are in good hands when I book Amanda, and that's the best peace of mind when i'm away!”

About: Ever since I was little I had been the go-to person for caring for my family dog. Even after moving out, I've still enjoyed watching her for my parents when they needed a weekend sitter. I'd take her on walks to the dog park, beach trips, and of course, stop for a pup cup- her favorite!

7. Kyra F.
“Kyra has been a pet lover since a very early age. She has owned and cared for her own dog since the age of 10, walking feeding and grooming. Unfortunately, since moving into a condominium with other roommates in college, she has missed the companionship of a dog or cat living with her. She visits shelters and pet stores to stay in contact with animals. She is an ideal pet walker and caregiver for cats and dogs, and as soon as living arrangements permit I'm sure she will once agian own her own. J”
