1. Cheryl B.
“Could not think of a better pet sitter than Cheryl. She clearly loves animals and they love her back. She has always done a great job of going above and beyond to take care of our dog, Sawyer when we go out of town. Anytime he sees her he goes crazy with excitement. You can rest assured that she will give your pet plenty of snuggles and play time and will be very respectful in your home. She is very trust worthy, a great communicator and an overall amazing person.”
2. Paula B.
“Paula was everything we could ask for in a pet sitter! She had great communication and was super friendly and bonded with our pup right away. We felt so confident having her in our home for a week and taking excellent care of our little guy while we were away. She was very respectful of our home and sent photos/videos of our pup to keep us updated. I would hire Paula again and again. She is wonderful!”

6. Karen B.
“Karen is amazing with our pups! We could tell our dogs were very happy and well taken care of by Karen while we were gone. She also took care of our house and watched our pups at home so that they could be in their regular environment. We are glad we were able to find her after we moved to the coast!”
7. Gwendolyn & Jerry L.
“My pups are family and I know that when I leave them with Gwen and Jerry they will treat my pups as well as (or even better) than I do. Jerry is an especially calm and skilled dog handler while Gwen provides the cuddles and love that my pups expect from their humans.”
8. Aiden J.
About: Currently have three dogs and my favorite a mini Aussie. Have been training them for the last few years and walk them almost daily. I am wanting to improve my dog handling skills and meet new pets and families along the way. et care is an integral part of my daily routine. I'm committed to providing top-notch care and attention to the animals I look after. My schedule is flexible, and I typically dedicate specific hours each day to walking, feeding, playing, and caring for pets. Weekends are also open for additional pet-sitting or extended care needs I groom weekly and walk almost daily as well as morning and night feeding. I am a runner so I enjoy taking some of the dogs on runs when possible.

About: Ive taken care of my own animals between my child's pet as well as my own personal companion as they help in many different ways.

My house is locked when I am home for my safety as well as my children's and your animals.

18. Brian S.
“Brian house sat for us for two weeks. He cared for our two large and energetic dogs as well as our three ornery goats. We booked Brian 3 months before an international trip. Leading up to the trip Brian was responsive and took initiative to check in with us and ensured us we could rely on him being available. Throughout the trip Brian shared many photos of our animals having fun and relaxing. We felt confident our home and pets were well cared for. We returned to our home just as we had left it. Our pets were as happy and energetic as ever. Brian had clearly developed good relationships with our animals and they were sad to see him leave. Thanks Brian for doing a wonderful job and allowing us to focus on our travels!”
