“Jacqui did great with our cat, Flower. We were gone for a week and Flower seemed very at ease when we came home.

“Rachelle was very prompt with her visits. Aspen seemed to really like her. She is a very responsible young lady. I would most certainly use her again. I gave her a 4 star rating because I had no way to give her 4 1/2. I never give 5 star ratings, it's my philosophy that no one is perfect and there's always room for improvement.”

About: My commitment to caring for animals is my biggest strength. There is nothing more enjoyable than coming home and seeing unconditional love from a pet. I'm recently retired from 30 years of naval service therefore I am looking for new opportunities while going back to school. I have a very flexible schedule as needed. I have a large fenced yard in the country my great pyrenees loves playing with other dogs he is very social. Plenty of room to roam.
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, I enjoy walking them (even cats) all year long. I have had been walking other peoples dogs along with my own. I'm currently retired so I walk dogs (and cats). I do not walk them if there is ice on the walking path, the ice may cut their pads. Then you have a unhappy doggy until they heal up. I will walk your dog in your neighborhood or at a walking path that is paved and well maintained. I prefer to use a 6-foot leash, easier to control puppy.
About: I’ve always been the biggest animal lover, and am currently raising 2 of my own. They are easily the best part of every day! I’ve raised puppies, have been a pet sitter, or even just swing by houses to let their dogs outside for a bit! I quickly learned that my fav part of working from home was spending time with my dogs! I figured I could spend it with others! I am the biggest helicopter mom when it comes to my dogs. I am always watching them like a hawk! E-collars so they can roam our 2 acres, crates, safe toys, and lots of outside exercise time!

Steven L.
“We can highly recommend Steve L. We call our dog, Josie, our "pandemic pup." She came to us just a couple of days before we were locked down due to the pandemic. She was with us constantly. As a consequence though she loves people she gets anxious when separated from us. Steve was extremely kind with her and helped her enjoy herself even though we weren't with her on their walk. We know we can trust Steve with our dog and we're sure you can trust him with yours. John M.”
