19. Katie W.
“Katie has taken loving care of our dogs - both of whom required very specific handling around food and other dogs. We mostly relied on her for care during a very difficult transition for our elderly dog that meant the world to us. It was because of Katie's commitment and reliability that we were able to keep our precious girl as comfortable and healthy for as long as we were. In addition to the exceptional care she provided for our elderly dog, she handled our younger, bigger, more rambunctious dog with ease, and managed the interactions between the two of them very well. We highly recommend Katie!”


20. Ann S.

“Ann took excellent care of my dog, Max! She ensured that he got plenty of playtime, and sent me plenty of pictures and updates daily. She even surprised me by giving him a good bath! She also kept him an extra night when I got stranded at the airport. She certainly has a passion for caring for dogs.”
