1. Kaija B.
“I cannot recommend Kaija highly enough for anyone in need of a pet sitter who brings not just professionalism, but a genuine love and understanding for animals. She has been an absolute blessing for me and my four-legged family members—three cats and my beloved dog, Chloe. From the moment she stepped into our home, it was clear that she treats each pet with the utmost kindness and care, as if they were her own. Her approach is gentle, yet she possesses an innate ability to connect with animals, something that truly sets her apart. My pets, who can be quite discerning, were immediately at ease in her presence, which speaks volumes. What stands out, is her flexibility and patience. Managing the unique needs and schedules of three cats and a dog is no small feat, yet she does so with grace and efficiency. Her ability to adapt to last-minute changes and the patience she shows with my fur babies have been invaluable to me. Kaija has become my go-to pet sitter. Knowing that my pets are in her care allows me to leave home, whether for a few hours or several days, without a worry. She communicates regularly, sending updates and photos that bring immense peace of mind.”

“Brittnie loves animals! Plain and simple. She has two fur babies that she loves so much. Brittnie works at a dentist office so customer service is definitely something that she does on a daily basis. She has the sweetest heart any person could have and is so kind to anybody she meets new and old and that carries on into any puppies she sees! She has a dream of opening a business that serves food to humans and their pets so i would say that this is a great starting point to get whers she wants to go.

14. Madison D.
“I can’t say enough good things about Madison! She’s the only person I completely trust with my German Shepherd, Bella. Madison has an incredible knack for understanding dogs and tuning into their personalities—I've never seen anyone do it quite like her! She's always on top of everything when it comes to pet care, and I know Bella is in safe hands with her. Plus, Madison keeps me updated on how Bella is doing while I’m away, so I can relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my furry friend is having an amazing time too!”
15. Robin L.
“Robin is an amazing human being and has a heart of gold. For the past 2 years she has been heavily involved in the making of a non-profit dog shelter in South Korea. While in South Korea, she saved hundreds of dogs from the steets, kill pounds, hoarding situations and more. Aside from her day job, she ran Rebel Rescue South Korea. Robin had the opportunity to be surrounded by all the dogs and took it! Running a shelter isn't easy. There were countless times she would drive hours to rescue dogs in unfortunate situations, take the dogs to the vet, and also met with adopters and fosters to find the dogs homes. After running around all day, Robin would still find time to clean the shelter and provide sick dogs with care and medicine when needed. As if that wasn't enough she didn't stop there! This wonderful woman loves dogs so much that she eventually began dog sitting and walking dogs on the side! Robin is good with dogs of all sizes and age she is also feline friendly! Robin has always has gone above and beyond for the well-being of animals. Let Robin provide the care that you need for your furry family member, you won't regret it! Your babies will be well taken care of and extremely loved on! Not only that but they will be with someone who has experience with pets of all temperaments. I cannot recommend anyone greater than Robin.”

“Erin is fantastic with all types of animals. Both domestic and farm. She is a caring and fantastic person who is extremely reliable and responsible.”
17. Jennifer G.
“Jennifer has always cared for our pets like her very own and we have used her for years. We have 2 large dogs, 1 small dog, and a rabbit and everyone single one gets all the love while we are gone and Jennifer is here. She sends me pictures of them, has taken them on walks, and just spends time with them so they aren’t anxious about us not being home. I absolutely recommend Jennifer for any pet sitting need and will use her every chance I get. She is through and asks questions if she has them and always has a smile on her face. We love having Jennifer watch all of our babies.”
18. Ashley P.
“Ashley was wonderful with my dog, Gus! She was reliable and dependable, and kept me informed about anything going on with Gus' behavior. I would highly recommend her to everyone! Awesome job!!”
19. Karen & Devon M.
About: As someone who has family in the field of animals care I grew up being able to experience animal care first hand while having to see dogs come in and out of clinic for boarding or exams. I was always helping making the dogs feel a little more at home, as someone who has dogs of my own. Who I love as if they were my children I know very well how frightening a new environment and being kept away from ones owners can be for the little guys so I try my best to make them feel at home. I know just 20 min of play time or going on walks can help them release all the stress and anxiety they feel to become more comfortable and relaxed. Not only that but I myself know what it means to have a dog with disability. My family dog is a pitbull our very sweet caring dog who sadly when we found her was in a car accident we took her to emergency only to find out we had to amputate her arm although it took a while to get her back on her feet I know dogs take a lot of time and care and patience. My husband is military and I am in the National Guard. We love animals more than anything. I am currently on my way to start studying to become a Veterinarian so I like surrounding my lifestyle as much as I can with animals. That being said I usually would be available all weekdays and some weekends. We live in an apartment with a small private backyard and we have 3 dogs of our own 1 puppy and 2 adult dogs all fairly small. Only me and my husband live in our apartment but we have an extra room we use for the dogs to have their own area. Our dogs are all potty trained and well behaved so there allowed to roam around the house we don’t necessarily put them in their cage unless they themselves go in or we have a lot of visitors. Our dogs do have lots of toys and we try to spend at least 2-3 hours a day playing or going on a walk we feed them at least 3 times a day and every time they use the bathroom or behave we give them treats.
20. Graicine B.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 14. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I worked for a short time at a doggy daycare attending to dogs of every shape and size. I personally have 5 dogs that I love dearly and would motivate me to treat customer dogs the same. I'm currently working part time So I can work with customers on what schedule would best fit their animals needs. I'll make sure I understand the animals routine before beginning services. I will happily accommodate whatever the customer wants with their fur baby in their home. I will follow whatever routine is necessary. Drop in visits will be discussed with clients thoroughly as to provide the best care possible.
