1. Drew S.
“Drew is an amazing pet sitter! I have 3 dogs and a cat and I never worry about them when Drew is watching them. She always makes sure there are fed, given lots of potty breaks, and loved on. My house is always impeccable when I return which is a HUGE bonus!”


2. Laura S.
“Laura has been absolutely phenomenal with the weekly recurring dog walks. She gained the trust of our skeptical Bernese mountain dog immediately, and of course our golden loves her. Highly recommend!”


3. Abigail & Ian R.

“Abby and Ian are great as always! I have trouble with buzzing them in sometimes, but they’re always willing to wait. I feel great knowing my pup Kit is getting the attention he deserves while I’m away, and I think he loves seeing them as much as me!”

“Ernst is super friendly, responsive and knowledgeable. We have 70 lbs adolescent pup who has a lot of energy to give. Ernst is great at keeping our pup in line. I already notice an improvement in our pet’s loose leash walking!”


10. Brittany S.

“Brittany has been walking our puppy twice a week for several weeks now and it’s been going swimmingly. Communication has been really good and it’s been such a weight off our shoulders to know that Brittany will be giving our dog a fun break in the middle of the day when we can’t be home. She sends photos and little updates to let us know how their walks went and those are really fun to see. Highly recommend Brittany!”

“I have a pretty anxious dog, but Piper is very patient with him and has been deliberate about building his trust. I can always count on her to take great care of him when I am out of town. I am so grateful to have someone reliable I can count on to looking after him!”




14. Amy J.
About: I have been an animal lover all of my life; from dogs, to cats to rodents and turtles and more. I know that a well-trained pet requires attention and routine. I am proud to offer consistent potty breaks, playtime and walks to keep your best friend happy and healthy while you are away. I am more so available on the weekends (Friday-Sunday) but am willing to help with daily potty breaks, meal time and walks throughout the week. I have a pretty flexible schedule so if you do require overnights during that week, I am willing to accommodate. I look forward to helping you feel more secure in your decision to use a pet sitter over leaving them in a kennel. Your pet family will be welcomed as one of my own.


15. Henry M.

“Henry was on time, attentive and took good care of my dog on their 1/2 hour walks. I would definitely recommend Henry for dog walking.”


16. Jennifer J.
About: As a child, I had both cats and dogs in the house and we frequently took in abandoned animals, treated their medical problems, and found them homes (sometimes, that ended up being OUR home!). I have been pet-sitting and doing drop-in visits for friends and neighbors since I was a teenager and I've never met an animal that I didn't get along with. I believe that all dogs can be good dogs if they're approached with patience and dedication. As an adult, I've fostered for rescue groups as well as volunteered, doing intake, cleaning, and assisting with medical treatment. I've done drop-in visits and house-sitting for animals with special needs that required medication, special feeding, or subcutaneous fluids. I have a close relationship with my vet and his staff as well as many other resources to help me make good decisions regarding caring for my own animals. I currently have a boxer/pitbull mix who was born in a foster home and adopted through Fetch rescue. I also have two cats and several fish currently in my home. If I'm house-sitting or doing drop-in visits for your dog(s), I don't mind checking in on other critters. I've had many different kinds of pets in my life. Please feel free to call or text me with any questions about me or my skills. I work part-time and I have a very flexible schedule, so I can make time to walk dogs together or individually. I feed my dog on a schedule when we're alone, but she adjusts easily when we have other dogs stay with us. I have a small fenced-in yard, which my is allowed to roam free in. We have a fairly quiet neighborhood to walk in, and we live close to a couple of dog parks. We have a crate, a folding corral, and baby gates to separate spaces if we need to. I have two large dog beds and several cat beds around the house.


17. Cassandra B.
“Cassie is an amazing pet sitter. She has been watch my two kitties for over 6 years now and needless to say they love her. Cassie is reliable and will care for your pets like they are her own. She has administered medication to my cats, stayed multiple nights with them, plays with them, and follows all feeding instructions perfectly! She will give you daily updates and sends pictures too! You couldn’t find a better person to watch your pets.”


18. Anna S.


“We are new to using dog walking services. Anna has been amazing with our dogs. We love the photo updates! She has alleviated my anxiety from leaving our boys for long hours! ☺️”


19. Laura G.

“Laura was so patient and flexible, even when circumstances were difficult. She was amazing with Louie, who gets nervous with new people in the house. Louie was so happy to get out for nice long walks when we were stuck at work.”


20. Jaimielyn B.
“Jaimie is by far my first choice for dog-sitters when we go out of town! My girlfriend and I have two terrier mixes and I always feel confident in their happiness and safety when Jaimie is watching them. Not only do our dogs absolutely adore her, but she somehow manages to get the best and cutest pictures of them to send to us when we are away! I highly recommend using Jaimie to take care of your furry friends!”
