3. Kim A.
“Kim has been our nanny for 13 years caring for our children and pets daily. Also when we go out of town, she cares for our animals. She is nothing short of amazing! Animals gravitate to her like Snow White. She just understands them and they give her so much love in return. She is dependable and trustworthy and I would not trust anyone else with our precious babies!”


4. Kim O.

“Kim was great! She communicated with us about timing and how to best meet our pup. Our dog was excited to meet her and they enjoyed a nice walk together.”




5. Alexandra F.
“Alexandra is a responsible, loving, reliable dog lover. She has been there to take care of my animals whenever I needed her. She would come over every day to take out my new puppy while I was at work and he adored her. She has always been extremely reliable whether it was planned or spur of the moment. Both of my dogs (and my cat) loved having her company.”

9. Jada G.
About: I love many animals & I have owned 3 dogs who I love. Besides that I currently work at a pet boarding & daycare for the last 4 years which allows me to experience all sorts of personalities and needs that a dog may have as well as provide all the cuddles and treats warranted/ allowed. Lastly I was in a program in high school that allowed to experience what it’s like workings with other animals besides dogs and cats for 2 years. I currently work part time at my job, but I also am in school currently studying health science. I can consider taking dogs to my job as well to have daycare and be in my care during my shift as long as all the required vet shots are done, but I mainly want to do extra pet care on the days that I do not work as I love to be surrounded by pets throughout the week. Typically I can best work with Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but weekdays are possible depending on time and amount of visits needed to meet your pets daily needs. I take my dogs out usually 3-5 times a day & leave water down throughout the day. Besides that she is normally fed 2x/day. At my job though we do 15 min walks if the parent wants that as an add on service so I’m used to the occasional long walk & dealing with dogs that require certain medicine, but am also up for learning new ways.

11. Aimee R.
“Aimee was our pet sitter and mid day dog walker for about five years. She took wonderful care of our aging dog and younger cat. She took care of them many times while we were out of town and while we were at work. She is trustworthy and caring and she is a wonderful communicator in regards to how the visit went. We rarely saw her ourselves, but thought of her as one of our family for all of the care she provided. She loved our babies like her own.”


12. Jennifer C.
“Jennifer is the best caring sitter and Walker!!!!!! I use her all the time. I work over nights and Jennifer takes care of my little ones.”


13. Erin W.

“Erin is a professional. She was on time every time, very knowledgeable about dogs and perhaps most importantly, our puppy loved her. I highly recommend her services”




14. Alexandra C.
“I have known Alexandra all my life and I can say with 100% certainty that she would be a great dog sitter. She has had many years of experience as a dog owner and has committed volunteer hours at a pet shelter. Alexandra is one of the most compassionate people that I have had the opportunity to know. She is very responsible and I know that you would not regret hiring her.”


15. Zach D.
“Zach did an amazing job making accommodations for our dogs. First impression was excellent, he was very friendly and was even able to answer questions we were dealing with our dogs back home. Our dogs naturally gravitated towards him, and he immediately accepted them into his pack. When it was time for pick up after our weekend getaway, it was almost as if our dogs didn’t even realize we left. We will be using him going forward every time we travel! 10/10 recommend him your future boarding needs.”
16. Dae'Twan S.
“Daetwan has always had a passion for caring for animals every since he was a young kid. He takes really good care of his pets as if they are human family members. He is also the best uncle to my teenage boys, he teaches them something new and positive every time they hang out with him. Daetwan is one of the most outstanding, respectable men I know.”


17. Riley O.

“Easy to work with and good communication!”


18. Lily D.
“Lily is always on time and cares deeply for my pets and my house. The dogs love her and she takes great care of them and our house. She’s reliable and has great communication skills.”


19. Hayden E.
“Hayden helps us take care of our special needs boxer and our old lady Milo who is turning 9 soon. Both of them have special needs and it can be hard to find someone who understands how much attention and care it takes for Boomer, our boxer, especially. Boomer and Milo are on a strict medication routine and have to have minimum running around due to a heart condition in our Boxer. We are so grateful for her, and don’t know how we will ever find another dog sitter that not only understood the level of attention we give our dogs (they are our children) but also bonded with the dogs as well. I highly recommend Hayden to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”


20. Kerstin B.
“I can highly recommend Kerstin as your caregiver for your beloved pets. She loves animals and is very caring and giving. She will love on your pet and play with them while you are away...to ensure they feel loved and cared for.”
