1. Dennis B.

“Dennis is personable, prompt, and flexible. He offers a variety of services for your canine companion. I appreciated his very thoughtful observation of my dog’s body language, behavior, and preference cues - Elliot can take a moment to warm up to new friends and lives to play with his flirt stick. I would, without reservation, recommend Dennis as your walker, play date companion, and house sitter.”


2. Jazmyn H.
“Jazmyn would be an amazing friend to your pet. You can be certain that your pet will receive the best care. She has taken care of our cat and dog and they look forward to seeing her. Our pets absolutely love her. She is very responsible and caring. We wouldn't want anyone else to care for our fur babies. Your pet will be very lucky to have Jazmyn take care of them.”

About: I create a safe and nurturing environment where your pets can feel right at home while you're away. From daily playtime and exercise to cozy accommodations and grooming services, I ensure that your pets receive the individualized attention and care they deserve. With a passion for pet care and a dedication to excellence, I strive to make your pets' stay with me a positive and enjoyable experience. Book with me today and give your beloved pets the pampering they need and deserve. Let me be your go-to for all your pet care needs - because when it comes to your furry family members, they deserve the best! I helped manage a doggie daycare for a couple years in Central Jersey so I can also handle multiple dogs at one time! I am a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to get your pup out and get some energy out of them! Went on a walk twice a week to give the pup exercise and companionship. Provided general pet care duties as required, including feeding, watering, changing the litter box, and administering medication prescribed by the veterinarian.


4. Brittney W.
“I’ve known Brittney since she was 6 years old. She’s an intelligent, trustworthy, dedicated young woman. Her facility with animal care is natural! Brittney took care of my Bleu with loving kindness that assured me I had made the right choice. I loved receiving photos and brief updates daily! I was able to leave knowing I could relax because I had Brittney looking out for my precious Bleu!”

6. Maria F.
About: I cared for my neighbor's dog twice when I was 18 for a week. I also looked after my family friend's dog for a week. They both have relied on me to take and look after their dogs. I was responsible for walking, feeding, and playing with their dogs. I recently just looked after one of my friend's Guinea Pigs for a weekend. Starting in the fall, I will be a substitute teacher for the school year during the week. There is no definite schedule when it comes to substituting so I will make sure to communicate with pet owners my availability. I have one friendly dog I care for when my parents are away. I make sure to take him for walks and have playing sessions. I feed my dog at the same time every day and provide him with the medication he needs.


7. Melinda L.

About: I was a volunteer at a local animal shelter from ages 14 to 18, my experience includes puppies, dogs, senior dogs, kittens, cats, senior cats, and feral cats. Part of my job was to help rescue animals from hoarding situations and socialize them, with proper space and respect of course. It was a very long, yet rewarding process. Unfortunately, I had to leave because I moved to Potsdam for school. I have a love for animals, my pets mean very much to me and I know yours mean a lot to you too. I have two cats at home and one here. I also assist my boyfriends family in caring for their 2 dogs and 5 cats. Pets are part of the family and deserve the best care even when their owners are away. I am here to provide only the best for your sweet animals. My schedule will be totally open until mid-June, from there I will be out of town a few days a week, but still have a fairly open schedule. My boyfriend and I recently adopted and acclimated a semi-feral cat. She took some time to warm up, but with space and patience from the humans, she is a regular house cat. Working with animals is something I love deeply. It’s so rewarding to see them come out of their shell when given the space to do so. I promise I will treat your fur baby nothing short of amazing, because the care shouldn’t change just because the owners are away ❤️


10. Heather A.
“I wish every person in this world treated their animals like Heather does. We previously worked together at an animal sanctuary and her care for them was gentle, amazing and always on point with their needs. I have also been around Heather's personal animals at home and they have the best care in the world. Heather puts her heart and soul into the animals she loves and cares for and would do the same for others animals she would care for. She's calm, caring and so very loving. I would trust Heather to take care of my animals in a heart beat if I needed to go away.”

16. Jessica R.
About: I've been fortunate enough to always have a pup companion pretty consistently throughout my life. I love kitties too! I once had a big Ragdoll boy, but I am mostly experienced with dogs. My best teacher of all was my baby girl Sage- the love of my life Basset Hound. We lost her last September at age ten. She taught me incredible patience from my early 20s to my early 30s. We still have her sister, our 8 1/2 year old Labrador Retriever Olive and she's my perfect companion/walking partner. Early mornings and afternoons are ideal for my schedule. My lab and I walk 5-6 miles three times per week around Ft Vancouver/ surrounding area. I will happily provide the specific care you need for your fur babies. My current residence is not fully fenced, but we are tucked away behind another house and it's very private.


17. Alexxis T.

“Alexxis is amazing! She’s on time, reliable, and wonderful with my pup. She’s been great when I’ve needed a quick schedule change or with any special needs my dog has. She’s the best”

19. Nina J.
“I’ve known Nina for well over a decade and seen her with several dogs she has owned and cared for. I have entrusted my cats to her many times while I have been away and she has always been wonderful with them - they are very shy and skittish and she was patient and kind with them and was even able to coax them out to play! She is experienced, caring, and responsible with pets and especially loves dogs — and dogs love Nina!
