1. Lindsay Y.
“After a bad experience at a big boarding facility, I was nervous to leave my senior Yorkie again—but Lindsay was a game changer. She took the time to understand his needs, sent daily updates, and treated him with so much love and patience. He came home calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. I finally feel at peace knowing he has a safe, cozy place to stay.”

About: I have cared for friends and family’s dogs for 20 years. I have cared for dogs after surgeries, administered medications and have bottle fed puppies.

8. Shane & Meg M.
“I’ve known Shane M. for many years before he moved in next door 2 years ago. Whenever we go out on vacation, he’d come over to help take care of our cats. They were well feed and he followed our instructions on how to do so. The litterbox was also taken care of. Our cats love him. Shane has always been a good listener and when he’s serious about a good service, he goes all in. He used to work at a Men’s Wearhouse and he helped me pick out a good suit and tie. He knows how to be honest and help the customer get the best product they need.”

12. Mackenzey C.
About: I have a pitbull, a dachshund, and a little cat. I love them all so much and enjoy spending as much time with them as they need. I am able to handle my 120 pound pitty on walks and trained him to be the best dog ever. I also trained my dachshund, which are very stubborn by the way :) I work full time but i am always available to come on my lunch breaks, before work, or after work. I am always off on the weekends so I am available anytime any day. I take care of my animals by always being on top of what they need. I make sure they have exercise so at night they are able to sleep. I make sure their belly’s are full and walk them about 45-1 hour later to make sure they know to use the bathroom outside. I give them PLENTY of attention and they always love being around me.

14. Brittany M.
“Brittany is the most responsible, loving and fun person you can have caring for your pets. Her kind, spirited nature is welcoming and makes every animal feel safe and comfortable. She prioritizes caring for your furry friends while love and playfulness come naturally from her. My babies get excited to see her and I know I don’t have to worry when she’s around. The peace of mind I have knowing my fur babies are in good hands, is priceless. I couldn’t ask for a better caregiver for my animals/extended family and I couldn’t recommend a better one for yours.”

About: I’ve grown up around multiple different breeds of dogs and I have my own cat. While my household has multiple cats, dogs and fish. Also been around reptiles and small furry animals. I plan on working a part time job as I am back from college for the summer. Which leaves time to care for your animals! I will carefully look after your babies!

18. Rachel W.
“Rachel has done an amazing job of taking care of Eli, making sure that he's happy, well exercised, and good to go. She's also been great at communicating and making sure that we're on the same page with Eli's needs, lifestyle, and safety. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone!”
19. Jenn K.
About: I have been watching over and taking care of dogs since I was 12. Every dog I meet, I love! I love walking dogs (yes, I actually enjoy t myself) because I know how happy it makes them. I take care of all animals as if they are my own, and I appreciate all personalities of each individual pet. I understand that every pet has different needs and I keep track of each pet’s specific requirements for their care. In addition to making a dog’s stay with me a safe stay, it is always a fun stay! I play with, walk, run, and love each pet that stays with me because I understand the worries of a pet-owner, as I have been one myself for many years. I hope to meet your pet soon!
