“Simply put, Anthony was great. This is my first time using a pet sitter and Anthony took the time to answer all of my questions which really put my mind at ease. My Doberman warmed up to Anthony rather quickly which was evident in the terrifuc reports and photos that Anthony provided after each visit. Thank you, Anthony!”

“I was so nervous to use a perfect stranger to watch my fur babies but Rachael and Logan came for a meet and greet. They instantly made us feel so comfortable.

10. Kyla G.
About: I’ve been with animals since a baby. My parents always had a bunch of animals and dogs were a big part of my life. Once I turned 18 I’ve added a bunch to my own little family. I have two dogs who travel with us and enjoy the outdoors so much. I also have many reptiles, small creatures, and two cats. I completely love the affection and bond created with animals. My fiancé works full time while I stay at home. I’m currently doing at home projects and with being at home am able to have lots of time to spend with my animals and help others. I have two very friendly dogs who love playing with other dogs. Along with that I have two cats and many reptiles. All animals are like family and I wouldn’t want anything happening to them.




11. Joshua S.

“Joshua is the most determined person I’ve ever met. He is intelligent but most of all he uses that intelligent well to be very clear. However, he does have his flaws. He has a confidence, although well-founded, it is hard to overlook. However, when you need him to be there he will be there.”


12. Shannon G.

“Shannon did an amazing job taking care of my animals for me! She gave excellent feedback everyday about how they were doing and gave ease of mind to me while I was away.”


13. Rachel S.

“Rachel did a great job with drop in visits for our night out of town. She communicated well and has clearly spent a good deal of time around dogs as she knew exactly how to handle our dog that can be intimidating to people. The dogs seemed happy when we got home. We will definitely use Rachel again for future trips!”


14. Izzy B.

“Izzy was a great sitter! She did drop-in visits with our dog while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly (both before and during our trip), gave us updates and sent photos. I definitely hope to use her again as a sitter!”

16. Hailey P.
About: I’ve worked at a vet for about a year now in the back taking care of the dogs boarding. I’ve had the training and opportunities to take care of many animals, dogs, cats rabbits and of all sizes. Love working with them. I have had dogs for as long as I could remember. I’ve always been comfortable and very responsible while taking care of animals. I am also currently in school to be a Veterinary Technician which has helped me with learning to administer meds, CPR, wound care, behavioral concerns, etc. I have also gotten a lot of experience working at a vet as well as having my own animals or watching friends/ families animals. Pet is a daily thing for me, whether it be caring for my own animals, family friends animals, or even the animals I have to care for at school. It is one of the most important things to me, being a voice for animals. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs at home so it a a constant thing to make sure they’re all cared for. Feeding, walking, cleaning up after them etc. It would be the same for me taking care of a clients pet. Feeding, watering, playing or walking, or cuddles. What is best for your pet and most comfortable for them.


17. Kelsey B.
“I cannot recommend Kelsie enough as a pet sitter! I recently had her watch my 3-year-old Alaskan Malamute, Balto, and she was absolutely fantastic. Kelsie is incredibly compassionate and caring, and she has a wonderful way with large dogs. Balto can be a bit energetic at times, but Kelsie was able to handle him with ease. She took him on plenty of walks and playtime, and she always made sure he was well-fed and comfortable. I never had to worry about Balto while he was in Kelsie's care. She kept me updated with regular texts and photos, and she was always available to answer any questions I had. I came home to a happy, healthy, and exhausted Balto from all the fun he had with Kelsie. I am so grateful to Kelsie for giving Balto such loving care, and I will definitely be using her services again in the future.”

20. Lexi M.
About: Hello! My name is Lexi, and I have a lot of experience dealing with dogs. For about 7 years now, family and friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs. I have worked at an animal hospital as a kennel technician as well as been a dog bather. I have learned so much from those jobs and gained a lot of knowledge on how to care for them. Working at those jobs has also helped me learn about dog behaviors and how to properly deal with them. If you choose me to be your dog walker/sitter, I can promise your baby will be in great hands! I currently have a full time job, so I will set up my calendar around that to show my availability! I will try my best to work around my schedule for my clients At my client’s homes I always make sure the dog(s) I am caring for are comfortable and happy. I am great at following directions carefully when it comes to instructions that pet parents leave for me, since that was my main responsibility at my previous job as a kennel technician. I also make time to cuddle, play with, and exercise your digs so they are as happy as can be!
