1. Kristina B.
“So great to meet you! I appreciate your showing up prepared and asking all these great questions. Really made me feel comfortable as a newcomer to the app. Terra’s picture made me laugh. Thanks again 💕 Terra & Kaylin”
2. Krissi S.
“Kristin was very punctual and responsible. She noted every detail of their walk, including pee and poop stops. She was observant enough to alert me to possible ailments stemming from their walk like, sore paws or a rash from where their harness rubs. She noted that one of our girls peed more than normal. Knowing this, I can call a vet to have her checked out. I would highly recommend Krissi to anyone who needs a dog walker or sitter. I'm definitely planning on hiring her again.”
3. Sam L.
“Sam is wonderful with my beagle mix, Kahlo. Kahlo is quite an anxious guy and can be a bit of a handful. But he's done well with Sam. I'm so grateful for the walks my pup gets on long days, and let's just say that I have a strong feeling Sam gets more steps in with Kahlo than I'm able to! We always have a fun photo for the day and I feel like my little guy is in good hands, as well as my home safe with Sam. :)”
4. Heather M.
“Heather is a great pet sitter and I trust her staying in my house while I am gone. I am usually very weary of having people stay at my house, let alone being the person solely responsible for my pet's well being. Heather is very communicative and send lots of pictures of your pets. During the big earthquake we had here, she wasn't staying at the home, but just doing drop-ins, but she went over to my home at 3 am to check on the pups and assess any damage to my home. I will continue to use Heather because she is a trustworthy, compassionate, and caring person.”
5. Miranda D.
“Miranda is compassionate and a true animal lover. She is dependable and responsible always making sure man's best friend is well cared for and treated like family. I recommend her to all pet owners.”
6. Dakota E.
“Dakota is a responsible dog lover. She has spent a lifetime loving and learning about dogs. She likes to care for and walk dogs. She takes her own dog everywhere. Walking and caring for your dogs I know she will do honestly and with love.”
7. Marlen R.
“Marlen is simply the best!”
8. Angelica D.
About: I have 5 outdoor cats and had 1 dog, who recently passed away due to a brain tumor. I am full of love for animals, but I am not ready to take on another pet full time. Instead, I would love to help my neighbors provide care for their pets! Miko was a very special dog, that required tons of walks & taught me a LOT about animal behavior and communication. Through my love and training for him, I was able to spend a lot of time doing what is most important to me: spending time in nature, bonding, teaching and loving animals. They give me such purpose, and I want to spend each and everyday around them. I work full-time, from home, in the tech industry and have a very flexible schedule. Due to my home being empty, it's a safe place for pets to stay or I can travel easily. I currently work full time Monday - Thursday from my computer and have a very flexible schedule. I can work anywhere with good wifi, can take a lot of breaks to do walks & potty time. I don't have a fenced yard so your dog would be on leash outside at my house. I live in a very quiet area, so it's great for reactive dogs if they need a more quiet place to be. I am able to crate train you dog as you wish, and teach them simple commands if that is something you desire. I'm very flexible and will follow your instructions.
9. Chip S.
“Whenever I was Chip's houseguest while he was caring for a little dog named Roxy, I was impressed that Chip was always attentive, loving and caring for the little dog. Roxy was well fed and exercised and seemed completely at home. She was brushed and bathed on a regular basis. Chip was taking care of the dog while the dogs owner was fighting Cancer. Roxy had the run of the house, her own bed, a patio where she could enjoy the sun during the day and an outside meadow to commune with other dogs. I bet she thought she was on vacation!”
10. Nancy G.
About: I take care of many dogs and have had them at my house or stay at their owner’s house. Either way I am very comfortable with. I am currently not working and have lots of love and time for your fur babies. Dogs bring me a lot of joy. I also really love walking so I can exercise your dogs anytime. I have a fenced yard and lots of space for animals. I also have a corral if the dog needs to be locked us at night.
11. Sofia F.
“I worked with Sophia as a fellow Animal Caregiver. Sophia has a great respect, love and compassion for all animals. She is dependable, punctual, honest and an utmost responsible and loving dog caregiver. She holds my complete trust in her dog caregiving abilities.”
12. ellen t.
“I am so relieved that Ellen is walking my dogs Taz and Angie! She is calm and knows what she is doing! They love her and took to her right away! Thank you!?”
13. Amy A.
“I requested services from Amy to walk my dog Penny while I was out of town. Although I was unable to meet her in person, Amy exceeded my expectations. I was a little apprehensive about someone else walking my dog because she is still a young lab in training, Amy understood my concerns and made me feel comfortable with her services. On the days Amy would take Penny out, she constantly sent me updates with photos and videos of Penny playing with other dogs. Penny was also very well behaved with Amy, which was my concern, and that she listened to Amy. When penny was dropped off at my parents house, my mom would tell me how exhausted Penny would come home after a day with Amy and how well behaved she was after the walks. Overall, I’m very happy that I picked Amy and would definitely consider asking her again for her services again. She’s awesome!”
14. Maria S.
“Lexi is happy to see Maria, and enjoys her walks. Very happy with Maria”
15. Gretta K.
About: Hi, I'm Gretta! I have had pets in my home my entire life, dogs, cats, parrots, cows, sheep, and even a turkey or two. I have also worked as a licensed childcare provider in my house. I know little people are not the same as pets but caring for the needs of others (two or four-legged) is a part of who I am. I'm an empty nester and have recently lost my dog to old age. Instead of replacing my Lola, I would love the opportunity to care for your precious pup while you are away. I will only care for the dogs from one family at a time to ensure your pet gets the best care I can provide. Kind of like a grandma for your furbabies! I live in a neighborhood that is safe for walks, and my yard is fully fenced. I am available for walks, check-ins, and daycare. I will consider overnight boarding on a family by family basis. I am so looking forward to meeting you and helping you take care of your furry family.
16. Kristen O.
“Kristen has been my pet sitter many times. She is wonderful with my cats and my dog, and my one cat who is pretty skittish around other people absolutely love her.”
17. Elaine B.
“I have known Elaine for 35 years, during which time she has always been a total pet-lover and has always had at least one dog and/or one cat. She derives her skills at pet-care not only from this expansive experience with pets, but also, as a long-time RN (now retired), from her care and concern for two-legged creatures as well! She is perfectly suited for this role!”
18. Lily Y.
“I highly recommend Lily for pet sitting needs. When I have been gone for a the weekend she took care of my 2 dogs (one senior and one gigantic energetic pup) as well as my two cats. She kept me posted on how the animals were doing each day. She is kind hearted and sweet and all of the animals loved her. I will be requesting her services in the future!”
19. Brittany B.
“I’ve had Brittany watch my elderly Labrador on several occasions. She has cared for him over night and taken him in walks when my schedule did not permit me to do so. I appreciate how well my dog responds to her, timeliness, and flexibility in the working with my schedule. Highly recommend.”
20. Zowee D.
“Zowee was around our Staffordshire Terrier for several years, before he passed, and he absolutely adored her. She is reliable, trustworthy and has dogs and cats of her own. She has her own transportation and can even take your pet on an outing, if so desired. I highly recommend her.”
