“Julissa is an animal lover. Really great with them. She really cares for all kind of animals. Is a responsible person and takes good care of our pets.”

“Bex adores animals and has taken great care of my pets. She has experience accommodating a variety of different needs including an elderly cat and skittish dog. Her own dog has lots of energy and loves to play, and all of her pets seem like they get along well with other animals.”

“Eleanor was exceptional! Sweet, personable and eager to learn how to give our kitty her insulin injections! She came to our house 4 times on her own to practice and make sure we were both comfortable. She learned and practiced outside of our scheduled vacation times! Our kitty has multiple issues that were all handled with love and compassion. I can’t believe we found such an angel! Absolutely amazing. I will use her again and again and recommend her to everyone I know❤️”


“Exceptional service! Thank you!!”


“Noah was reliable, prompt, and communicated well. We had good peace of mind while the dogs were in his care.”


“She is amazing with Norman Sent videos and pictures. He is still a puppy so lots of training and using the same words. She asked about and used the commands we are trying to teach him. Will definitely be using more often. And look forward to an overnight stay.”


“Emily has owned dogs for most of her life and has always been a responsible, thoughtful and caring dog owner. She is experienced with dogs of all sizes, including large-breed, high-energy dogs. I would trust her first and foremost with caring for or walking my dog!”

“Jacob has been dog sitting members in our family for a while now and he is so amazing at it. He always treats their houses with respects as well as their pets. When returning to our home the dogs are so excited to see him. He is a very responsible man and truly cares for pets.”

About: Hello! My name is Rhea, and I love animals of all sorts. I have had pets my entire life, and couldn’t imagine living without them! I currently have 1 dog, Fitzgerald. He is an 8 year old blue heeler mix, so lots of energy! I also have experience with older pups, as we recently lost our old man due to old age! We also have 1 cat. I work full time Monday - Friday and also have a very part time restaurant job that is on an as- needed basis. My day job does have some flexibility depending I distance. We are very free in our own home as far as pet care goes, but can follow a routine if needed. We have a blue heeler, which comes with its own set of challenges (if you have a heeler, you know what I mean!). We do allow our pets on furniture and in beds. We like to do long walks, and while we don’t have a fenced backyard, we have long tie outs, and a private, wooded backyard.

“Thank you!”


“Our dogs took to Amme right away, and so did we! She is easy-going, but also mature and reliable. She has been easy to reach and communicates before and after the visit. I recommend her!”


“Great service, gave my little boy Comet (Guinea Pig) food, water, and love. She also feed my fish, put out peanuts to keep the squirrels and birds visiting me. She brought in my mail.”


“Kyrstin is an amazing dog and cat mom who I would trust to watch my fur baby in a heartbeat beat. She has such a love for animals and will take great care of them. I would absolutely recommend Krystin for your Rover needs!”

About: I’ve taken care of family dogs, walking, feeding, even watched them when they would go out of town. I’ve had my own dog also so I have some good experiences with dogs. Also Just a heads up I do suffer from social anxiety, I get asked why do anything if you have social anxiety but truth is I can’t make money doing nothing but if it’s ok with you my little sister comes with me sometimes to keep me company. Pet care fits into my daily schedule perfectly, I’m a college student so I’m looking for a small job and what’s better than dog walking & meeting all different types of dogs? When walking my own my fur baby I kept her short leashed when we would walk pass other dogs and there owners. I always walk a different direction when I see other owners in there dogs just to stay on the safe side of things.

About: Hi! I’m Priscilla, and I have had dogs all my life until 2024 when mine (pictured with me) passed. I used to be incredibly active and am particularly interested in dog walking after recovering from some health issues that caused weight gain so if you have a dog that likes to be active we could be a great fit! I’m experienced with a wide variety of animals - I’ve cared for dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, horses, and cows. I enjoy all dogs from small to large and love dog walking. I also love cats. I have a calm demeanor that most animals respond great to and can gently correct rowdy pets. I am dependable - if I say I’ll be there, I will. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! (Or cat!) Let’s schedule a meet and greet to see how we all get along. I have a pretty flexible winter / spring in 2025 and since losing my dog would love to walk dogs again so feel free to message me and get on my calendar. Please provide me with any specific details that I should be aware of when entering your home and caring for your pet. I will do my very best to respectfully adhere to them.


“Kayla is a very respectful intelligent responsible young lady. Always shows up on time comes prepared to work. We have enjoyed her very much and trust her not only in our home but with our pets.”

About: We have had dogs in our care since 1991. I'm happy to work with your puppy and make sure they get outside frequently. With 2 dogs we know occasionally accidents happen so don't be afraid to bring your puppy/ dog if this concerns you. We will be just fine and happy to continue whatever training program you follow I am home most of the day. My wife also works from home so there will always be someone here other than maybe going out to dinner or a run to the store. We have a very large yard and a fenced area for the pups to be outside. Our home is very pet friendly. Dogs are allowed to snuggle up on a chair or couch unless you prefer I prevent that. There is always a 2 gallon pale with fresh clean water for their enjoyment.

“Jenna took care of my Pugs with no issues. I have one that is in his older years and was very patient with him. I would recommend Jenna. I have booked her a couple more times.”


“Jacqueline and Zachary were so patient with my shy, finicky senior cat! We received plenty of updates and photos and I know Boo appreciated their company, even if she didn't always show it :)”


About: I very much enjoy taking care of animals on my free time! I have over 8 years of experience with dog and cat sitting!
