1. Ellen E.

“Ellen is an amazing and responsible caregiver! She has helped look after my cat on numerous occasions and they became best friends right away. She is very attentive to a pet's different needs and is great at playing and keeping them active. She also made sure my cat stayed on her regular schedule and would let her just curl up in Ellen's lap and take a nap. I know that she has taken care of dogs as well and would take them on amazing outdoor adventures or long walks around the area. No matter the pet, Ellen shows real love, affection, and care for every animal she takes care of, or even just hangs out with for a day, and makes sure they are comfortable and content.”

3. Erica & Christopher K.


“Erica agreed to help me out on relatively short notice, walking my dog Percy while I was out of town, and Percy's other parent was at work for 11 hours/day. It was so great to get the Rover cards she sent, with the cutest photos (Erica has a knack)! The peace of mind this gave me while I was out of town was priceless. I would love to have Erica care for Percy again anytime.”


4. Eric A.

“Eric did a wonderful job walking our pups! He was on time, we got pics of them out on their walk and had 2 happy pup faces when they got home! Thank you Eric!”




5. Lindsey S.

“Lindsey was so great with my puppy. She took care of him twice a day for multiple days and was always right on time, never giving me a doubt about the care he was in. She also sent pictures and updates each time. Thanks so much!!”


6. Nancy A.
“As a dog owner for most of her life Nancy knows the responsibilities that comes with caring for a fur child. She loves to go on long walks with dogs for exercise, she's great at giving them food, water, and medicine as needed daily, and she is good at training dogs as most of the dogs she's owned were rescued as puppies. Nancy is a responsible mature woman who will care for your home while you are away as if it were her own, you can trust her to follow your written care instructions, take care of your dog and communicate with you while you are away through text.”


7. Katraena R.
“Katraena is an outgoing, very compassionate person. She goes out of her ways to help others around her and their pets. One winter she was dog sitting for her sister, and she wanted to take the dog out for fresh air so she walked the dog to my place so the dogs could play together. She also dog sat for me a couple times and always kept me updated with everything and anything. I came home and my dog was very attached to Katraena. I have known Katie for about 4 years now and she’s always been responsible and very smart with her choices.”


8. Sarah R.

“5/5!!! Booked a dog walk and my crazy pups loved her! She even took a couple of pics for updates! Will be booking again in the future :)”


9. Izabelle K.

“Izzy was very sweet, prompt and communicative with pics and messages - one of my pups was a sad baby and wouldn’t come out of hiding to go walk (not Izzy’s fault at all!) but the other pup was thrilled to be out and about with her. Will book with her again!”


10. Kate D.
“Kate is a very compassionate and caring person and pet caregiver. She is detail oriented and reliable. She is very attentive to the needs of both people and pets and is a very easy person to work with!”


11. Sharika E.

“Sharika is great with my 5-month old Samoyed puppy who can be very disobedient and stubborn at times. She is incredibly accommodating in terms of walk times, and is flexible which I sincerely appreciate. Would recommend Sharika 100%!”




12. Carissa B.

“This was our first walk with Carissa and all went well! She was on time, she did great with Lucy and locked up when she was done. Little report and picture at the end. We will be using Carissa again if available for our future needs! :)”


13. Alyssa Kylie K.
“Bonnie has a talent working with animals showing much kindness and care. She has had a training on animal care when she was 17 in Anchorage, AK and worked at a doggie day care. She care for our pet dog and was responsible for pet fish in aquarium in our home when about 8 or 9 years old. I know she loves animals very much. Sincerely, Sarah K. Seppilu”


14. Joshua S.
“Watching Joshua interact with my mother's elderly pug and my baby kitten was truly a joy to behold. His ability to connect with animals on a emotional and physical and psychological level is anything short of amazing. Joshua has a cheery and adoring disposition along with a passionate soul that dogs and cats and animals of all kind can really connect with. His experience in the medical field has been proven to showcase his abilities and capabilities when it comes to caring for animals and their needs. He is a devoted and caring owner when it comes to his own pug Deku, these two share a bond that is unmatched by any pairing of human and animal kind I have ever seen in my life. On many occasions I have witnessed Joshua put Deku's needs and other animals needs before his own. I have the utmost respect for Joshua and his loving and caring demeanor and passion for animals. I highly recommend him for anybody who wants someone to be focused on their furry companion. Thank you. Jordan Cote”


15. Cheyenne L.
“Cheyenne was more than a dog/house sitter. She became like family. Our dogs always perked up when they would hear her name. She was a tremendous help while we were traveling and our eldest dog of 14yrs was having issues walking due to his knees and on several meds. He would have accidents in the house and none of this bothered Cheyenne. We are so grateful to have her in our lives and to be able to spend the time with our fur babies. She will be the first one I go to when I’m in need of dog care. Thanks Kevin”
16. Katie C.
About: Hi there my name is Katie! I’ve been around animals all my life! Dogs, cats, lizards birds, snakes…you name it! I’m very experienced with animals and always get a good response when meeting new pets! They can always tell I’m animal person! I have my own puppets who I take to the dog park everyday! We go on 4 walks a day as well so if I’m taking care of your pooch they will join us at the park and on walks! As for cats, birds ect they will be mostly in the house while sitting and will be fed watered and safe till you come by to pick them up! By the way I don’t do cancellations. If you can’t keep a meet and greet please don’t waste yours or my time. I don’t have an endless supply of gas money. I’ve wasted a lot of my personal funds on gas to meet and greet only to be canceled on. Respect my time and money please. If you book me keep the booking. As far and meet and greet before the official work day starts I do not reschedule those either. This is my income. This is my job. Please respect that. I love the outdoors! Anything related to hiking I love. When I go on a walk or to the park with my own dog I would definitely be including any of the dogs I am babysitting. My dog always gets lots of cuddles and love and attention so your animal would get the same. We do not use anger to tell our animals that they did something wrong instead they get put in the kennel and time out. I won’t be parenting anyone’s animals though unless I am hired for dog training which is another service all on it own.


17. Asa S.
“Ace is friendly, responsible, and great with taking care of my dog. He has shown awesome communication and a wonderful attitude, which has left zero doubt in my mind for the care of my pet while I am away. I would highly recommend him to care for any pets and will definitely be reaching out again in the future.”
