6. Alexander S.
“For a couple of years now, Alex has been staying at my home with my three-year-old mixed-breed cattle dog, Quico, when the humans in my family go on vacation. We leave Alex detailed instructions on how to provide Quico the best care, including food, medicine, and physical/mental fulfillment, since he is a high-energy dog, which they always follow. Quico also absolutely loves Alex, so I know Quico is in good hands when we go out of town -- emotionally and physically. Alex also is very responsive to my texts checking in on my beloved puppy dog, in addition to sending occasional adorable pictures and updates. Excellent care for my dog!”

13. Seline P.
“Seline is a responsible pet owner. She's owned cats for a few years now (at least since 2020) and regularly takes them to the vet, does routine vaccines, and recently had one spayed. She makes sure her cats are always fed, hydrated, and have plenty of enrichment like toys, cat towers, and treats. I trust Seline to take care of my own two cats, which she has done a few times in the past. She understands instructions well, especially since my two cats have separate diets and must be fed separately.”

When I reached to Chloe to ask if she could help handle our pup, she was excited and eager to help. Right when we first met, Chloe offered to take Tor for a walk to get his wiggles out while my fiancé and I started our photo session.”
18. Erin S.
“Erin was very responsive, friendly and attentive to my dogs needs. She was able to come during the middle of the day to give my girl a nice walk around the neighborhood and even played with her inside a bit before heading out. My dog loved my time with her!”
19. Michael C.
“I know Michael to be an incredibly caring and trustworthy person. He is the type of person you can count on at a moment's notice. My pets adore him! They gravitate to him and he is patient and loves them back. He is genuine, creative, and just an overall good person!”
20. Emmalee G.
