5. April H.
“I have known April for over a decade. In that time I have watched her care for not only her own animals, but those that were abandoned within her neighborhood. She has thirty plus years experience caring for pets and would make an awesome caregiver for your furry friend. You will not be disappointed when you meet her and watch your pets light up when she takes them out for walks or sits with them while you are out and about. I am extremely cautious who I allow watch my animals, as are the animals, and we all would choose April.”

14. Alexander J.
“Look no further, I’ve found your next dog sitter! We have two high maintenance pups (one has high anxiety in new situations/ new animals and the other is very selective about who she lets into her home). Alex is great with both them and won them over instantly. When we returned after a vacation, our pets were relaxed and happy. Alex is very professional and his love for animals was apparent from our first meeting. We highly recommend Alex and his services! Your pets are in good hands!”
15. Taylor R.
About: Hello! My name is Taylor & I have been an avid dog owner and lover my entire life. Currently I have a very sweet and friendly miniature schnauzer, Klaus, and live with my husband and son. We have trained our Klaus from the time he was a puppy and I dog sit for family members’ pets often. I have a unique advantage working from home to give pets lots of attention. And with not starting my job until the afternoon there is lots of morning time for walks. My available hours are M-F until 11am and 5pm on Sat/Sun full availability. I have an unfenced, but very spacious yard in a subdivision for dogs to run around and can easily crate them if needed. I also have a very friendly miniature schnauzer to keep fur-babies company.
16. Dawn F.
About: From early on in life I have always been an animal lover. I was the one bringing home injured birds and stray dogs/cats when I was a kid. My mom was supportive of that passion and helped me help so many animals over the years. I have personally only adopted animals from rescues and my current dog is a rescue. I volunteer time to local rescues and bring supplies to local shelters. I care for neighbors animals and homes when they go out of town. I am always very nervous about new people around my animal and home, so I always make sure to treat clients like how I would want to be treated. I really enjoy giving people one less thing to worry about. I am openly available. Besides the occasional errand, I am always home, so nobody will be left home alone! We are up with the sun and stay up late! We are on 9 acres with river access, a quiet country road and plenty of places to lounge or run! It is not fenced in.
17. Alicia W.
About: I’ve taken care of big, small and medium dogs of all different breeds for three years. I’ve even cared for cats as well. My family has always ran to me with their animal needs and I have bathed, fed, walked and have had genuine play time with every single one of them. I currently work full-time but get home around 6 pm everyday. I can do nights and do not work weekends at all. I’ll have plenty of time for your pets! I will leave your dog/house looking better than when I arrived. I will go above and beyond for your fur babies as I have one of my own, and couldn’t imagine them not having the best care!
18. Kathryn P.
“I highly recommend Kathryn as a responsible, caring and dependable dog sitter. She has watched my dog, Remi, several times and I've always been impressed by how well she takes care of him. Kathryn kept in touch with me throughout the times she watched him with updates of how he was doing. She always went above and beyond with Remi and making sure he was taken care of. She truly cares about animals and will make sure your animals are in good hands.”
19. Shannon & Nathan B.
About: We have a 5 year old pup named speckles who is a German short hair pointer/pit bull mix. We completed training with her through sit means sit and she is a wonderfully well behaved lady! She loves friends. My boys and I love taking care of dogs and cats and giving them special care and love! During the week I stay at home with my four year old son during the day, and I coach volleyball in the evenings on select nights. My husband and I would be happy to share the responsibility of helping with your pup needs so they would get lots of love and attention throughout the whole day! We are very big on providing the same care and attention to others pets as our own. We have years of experience working with kids and pets.

“Sara is very good with animals. She has a dog of her own and would never let anything happen to her! She loves to go on walks! (Especially with dogs) And is pretty much always available! She keeps my dogs over night sometimes, and they have so much fun! She is highly recommended.”
