7. Journey B.
“Oh, my word! Where do I even begin to explain Journey's innate connection with animals? Journey has an incredibly sweet soul that animals (and people) can very readily sense. My husband and I lovingly call her, "The Dog Whisperer." We have several indoor/outdoor cats and two labs that live inside. They all are like a magnet when Journey arrives! One of the labs, Pearle, has severe social anxiety. She was the pup of a dog that belonged to a breeder who, in the end, couldn't sell Pearle. Through my vet niece, I learned about the dog and agreed to adopt the then 7 month old pup. After Pearle came to live with us, we realized that she had very likely been neglected and had probably spent most of her life in a kennel. We had to show her how to do everything, like walk up and down steps - holding one paw at a time - and when we walked her, it was obvious the outdoors was a new but wonderful world for her. One of the results of Pearle's upbringing is her total inability to be comfortable with new people in the house. She is terrified of anyone outside of her immediate family, and it takes many months for her to accept new friends, and that is when they visit regularly. I will never forget the very first day Journey arrived at my house. I was at work, and my husband sent a photo of Journey hugging Pearle. I was totally blown away! That was beyond HUGE! I remember asking my husband if she was a female Cesar Millan! Now, whenever Journey arrives, Pearle (and Jake) stick to her like glue and follow her all around the house! She genuinely loves our pets and treats them like her own! I am a huge pet lover but have never seen anything like this! I have absolutely no reservations about having Journey as a pet caregiver and can't recommend her enough! She is a pet rockstar!”

9. Shana K.

10. Gabriella D.

12. Alina H.
“Alina is a loving and responsible pet caregiver. She watched my little Kodak and did an amazing job. Still now when I am out of town she cares for him and he loves her…. Alina is the best!!!!!”


13. Veronica M.

“Veronica is amazing! We highly recommend her. She is dependable and caring. She writes insightful reports after every visit and is very observant to pick up any changes in behavior, eating, etc. We could not have asked for a better sitter. She takes all of the worry out of leaving our pet.”


14. Amanda H.
About: I love to help my rural neighbors feel comfortable if they have to be away from their home or farm for any amount of time. I stay close to home so I can provide in-home visits or walks multiple times a day if needed. I have experience with chickens, horses, goats, and hamsters as well! I have a few flexible jobs I do from home, and taking care of my neighbor's animals is one of them. I can easily adjust my schedule to fit my client's pet care needs. If you bring your pet to me, we have lots of safe, fun play time outside within our 4 acres of fenced yard and pasture. If I come to your house, of course, I'll follow your direction, but I love to be active with your animals if they want to be - whether going for a walk, playing fetch or tug of war, sprinkling cat nip, or playing with a feather...or horsey ear rubs!


15. Graham F.
“Graham was really helpful taking care of my dog Lily. He was prompt each day and sent text and pictures of his visit. I would highly recommend him to watch your pet.”


16. Mikayla & Sean A.

“Mikayla and Sean were great. They sent us pictures and updates at each visit. I will definitely be using them again in the future.”


17. Shandi G.
About: I have grown up with dogs and many other animals, and am currently caring for my own pup ❤️ I treat animals with the upmost love and respect, and I will care for your animal immensely. I do school online and have a lot of time to carefully watch and take care of pets during the allotted time of feedings or letting them out and making sure they are happy. I can spend some time with your pup and make sure they have what they need. I will respect your home and be sure to complete any tasks given.


18. Megan B.

“Megan did a great job taking care of our new puppy, she was always on time and sent updates and photos on a daily basis. I would highly recommend her and look forward to using her again in the future!”


19. Darren M.
“Darren is AMAZING with our Luna. She thinks he is the best person ever and showers him with kisses and tail wags to show it! He takes his time with her whether it is going for a walk or giving her a bath. He has helped her learn so many tricks too. I can't recommend Darren enough to anyone, he is just wonderful. Our pet babies are family and Darren knows this and treats them that way as well.”


20. Laney S.

“Laney was awesome! Both boys loved her! She followed dietary and care instructions perfectly. She administered oral medication for one dog each visit. She provided detailed updates and photos. I felt very reassured leaving my dogs in her care. I would HIGHLY recommend Laney.”
