Brad is so awesome! He has great dog obedience skills and has even helped me keep leash training up with my 7 month old puppy! Very thankful for his prompt communication while with my dog and afterwards.

Jessica is so kind, fun, and clearly is meant to be around animals in one way or another. My boys were THRILLED to see her every morning. She was helping me out as I’m dealing with cancer - her flexibility and understanding nature helped me trust her in my home and with my boys. Book her!

Molly walked our dog Ezio on a weekly basis for about a year and on occasion he stayed for doggie day care at her house. Molly was always extremely reliable and really great with Ezio. We highly recommend her!

About: I’ve taken care of cats for basically my whole live and have several years experience with ferrets and other small animals. I’ve also been trusted with taking care of dogs by friends and family as well. I am currently working part time so my schedule is pretty open, within reason. I am free for pet care any day of the week, so just let me know when and I’ll be there. No matter what you need me to do, I will be sure to follow through on your instructions. I treat any pet that I take care of as if it were my own.

Keturah took care of my dogs during my workdays for a handful of years. I have a chiweenie (who frequently gets eye infections) and a nervous yorkie who requires a certain diet. She's always done great with them and still gets excited to see both of my dogs. I still reach out to her when I'm going out of town. Very reliable girl and loving towards my little guys. I've always been grateful for her.

I would highly recommend Maddie as the perfect person to watch your beloved dog. I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my furry friend to their care, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. Throughout the entire time my dog was under their care, she demonstrated exceptional responsibility and attentiveness. They followed all instructions diligently and kept me updated regularly with pictures and messages, which brought me great comfort and peace of mind.

Tori did a great job watching our dog while we were traveling. Our dog really bonded with her. She also left the house clean and tidy. We were able to relax on our vacation knowing our dog was in good hands.

Savannah is a great person and great sitter! I've been friends with Savannah for many years but about a year ago when Covid19 hit, i was in a finacial hardship. Since she works from home,fshe offered to ostered my bfur aby, Cody for a few weeks while I was working 3 jobs to get back on my feet. When picking up Cody, he was obviously happy to see is momma but he was also so sad to leave his new family. he made Cody and Murphy are best friends now and have play dates often. I will never go to a different sitter. It gives me peace of mind knowing Cody is have a great time on his mini vacation as much as i am.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Neighbors, friends and family have all relied on me to walk, feed and bathe and even style their pets! Not only did I take care of others but I have my very own fur baby that I’ve been taking care of since I was a kid. I’m currently a part-time college student, a dog groomer, content creator and an aspiring entrepreneur to open my own business one day. I love to stay busy and active so your pup will get plenty of energy with me! I love to work out routinely and it’s so much more fun with dogs at my side! I am available all week and weekends just shoot me a text to let me know ahead of time, what’s your schedule, etc. I have a fenced yard and I have a dog of my own to keep your fur baby accompanied! I can crate my dog or yours if needed. I love all dogs as they are my own. It’s in my religion that animals are most sacred, so you can trust your pet is in good hands! I’m not greedy, not in this for the money, I’m willing to negotiate prices, whatever’s easier for you and to make your life more peaceful. Seriously! I do not mind! :)

Kaitlin is an AMAZING gal with soooo much love for doggos! Kaitlin is incredibly reliable and loyal. Kaitlin is that gal at the farmers market asking to let your dog, she is drawn to the love dogs give. My dog Blanch and I love having her join on our long walks, (blanch is also a BIG fan of our buddy Kaitlin.). Kaitlin is one of the few people in this world that I would trust to take care of Blanch.
