1. Anita A.

“Anita is a life saver! She is so sweet to my pup and is extremely reliable.”


2. Kimberly P.
About: I have been caring for pets since childhood, including cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens, and opossums. My years of experience make me a responsible, reliable, and loving pet sitter. I frequently look after family and friends' pets while they are on vacation, ensuring they receive the best care possible. As a retiree, I have ample availability for dogs that need frequent potty breaks and animals requiring a lot of attention. I love to walk and already take daily walks in my neighborhood, making it easy to incorporate pet care into my routine. I offer loving care tailored to each pet's needs, whether in my home or my client's home. For instance, my grandcat experiences seizures, and I am adept at recognizing the signs and providing the appropriate care, just as his mother would. Pets in my care are always spoiled with treats, affection, and attention. My priority is to make them feel comfortable and happy.




3. Joey M.

“I had just moved to the area, and Joey stepped up on short notice and made sure my two highly active, 70+ lb dogs were well exercized and cared for. He was a life saver, highly recommended!”


4. Robert S.

“Bob is great with our dog and is always punctual and very flexible with changing schedules.”


5. Brittany P.

“Brittany has been such a relief for my husband and myself. Our adopted four legged Gus Bus is home for at least 10-11 hours. Brittany is his saving grace and spends time giving him snuggles and walks whenever he’s willing. She’s very punctual and very good with communicating about Gus. We’re so appreciative for the love and attention she has given our special boy.”


6. Kathleen S.

7. Dana D.

“Dana is fantastic with animals! She is so kind and nurturing, and you can tell how much she enjoys being around them! She's taken care of 2 of my dogs, both of which loved her dearly. Trustworthy and dedicated. Highly reccommend!”


8. Justun D.

“Justun continues to impress. I had a hectic day and some phone calls and needed to do some chores and Justun worked around me and entertained Ajax. Will definitely rebook!”


9. Elaine F.

10. Zachary B.

12. Shirine M.
“My dogs are my babies. When I need help with the pups, I want them to be pet, played with, and sweet talked to. Shirine gives me the comfort I need to know they are truly cared for! They are so happy to see her when she comes! Shirine is sweet, professional, and makes leaving town less stressful. I have trusted her in my home and with the dogs for a couple of years now and couldn’t recommend a better caretaker.”


13. Elena H.

“Helpful and friendly!”


14. Jenny B.

“Friendly and easy to contact and a real dog lover. Our Sophie didn’t hesitate to take off on a walk with her so you know she sensed a friend! Definitely recommend!”


15. Kristine R.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 25 years. You can rest assured that I will provide your beloved pooch with the love and care needed while you’re away. I’m happy to take them on walks, feed/water, play tug, throw the ball, or just cuddle with them. I will do my best to spoil them with love and attention. My career offers me flexibility. Most days I work from my home office, but am able to work anywhere there is Wi-Fi. I’m happy to welcome your pet into my home, visit in your home, or provide drop in care. I have a large fenced in yard with two hypo allergenic dogs who absolutely love to make friends with other dogs! I live in a safe neighborhood where I walk my dogs and would be happy to walk yours as well. If you’d like your pup/pups to stay in their home, I’m comfortable coming to your residence to take care of him/her.


16. Grace E.

“Grace was awesome walking my dog! Timely and communicative!! Will use again!”


17. Christina J.

“Christina is always right on time. Our dogs love her already and I trust her 100%. She is super sweet. I would recommend her to anyone.”


18. Maggie P.
“As Maggie’s mom I might be a little biased, but I wouldn’t write it if I didn’t mean it. Maggie is a hardworking, thoughtful young lady. She is responsible and very attentive to our dog. She takes great care of her and loves to spoil her with snuggles and walks. Maggie would treat your pet as if it were her own.”


19. Felicia M.
“I have known Felicia for over 15 years and she has always had pets for as long as I can remember. She is an avid dog lover, and I know my dog loves her so much!”


20. Josh G.
About: I have taken care of animals ever since I was little. We used to have a golden retriever and I had a lot of responsibility for him. We now have several cats who are all very needy. I always make sure they are taken care of. I am currently working part time, so my schedule can change from week to week. If I am working I can take breaks and provide potty breaks. I will use all available resources to make sure your pet is as comfortable and cared for as possible. I am very good at understanding what they want/need by their actions.
