“Thanks for doing such a wonderful job in such short notice!”

“I don’t normally write reviews, but I have been so impressed by Danielle’s compassion for animals and her capability to handle all shapes, sizes, and species. Over the years, she has taken responsibility for my family’s mutt, Mandy, whenever necessary and has dropped in to feed our small herd of cats. She is flexible and has provided exceptional communication every time. The daily photos of our pets have been a bonus when we are traveling or out of town. 100% recommend.”

“Eric is such a great person . He loves dogs and is so good and patient with them. He loves to walk, play, and spend time with them. I strongly recommend him.”

“Kasie is absolutely amazing with all of my pets! My dogs absolutely love him. He’s been caring for my 3 dogs while I’m away at work and takes them for walks or to the dog park. He’s highly dependable and pays close attention to my animals. I also have cats and he is able to feed them their special diets and alerts me if anything is off. I highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for a loving person to exercise or check in on their pets!”

“Hello! Amina is perfect for being a pet caregiver. She has the sweetest heart, and loves all critters. She has cats of her own, and has saved many loose dogs and feral cats. I don't know anyone who loves animals more than her. She takes care of them just like a parent would their child, and would do anything for a creature in need. Animals love her, and would be so happy to have her as their caregiver. Amina will always put a pet's safety and wellbeing first, and will spoil any animal with love and kindness.”

About: I used to work at a dog kennel a couple years ago. For years I would also volunteer at the shelter in my home town. I’ve always had a dog with me while growing up and of course even now, I can’t imagine not having at least one! I’ve had dogs from all ages from puppies to old babies! I have 5 dogs (all different sizes) and 3 cats! I’ve baby sat my friends dogs and cats and neighbors pets like birds, rabbits, lizards, and handful of others plenty of times too! I’ve been around all kinds of animals and have owned a good diversity of animals. I absolutely adore animals and treat them like they are my babies. I’d love to help you out and take care of your pet while you are away or even let them come over for some doggy daycare! Pet sitting is becoming my full time job! I have plenty of time for my babies and I’ll have plenty of time for yours :) My life revolves around my pets! I have a fenced in yard for my dogs. I normally play with them in my backyard for at least an hour in the afternoon. They love to sunbathe outside so I like to sit outside with them and read. I have a kiddie pool that they love to play in too! In the evenings I take them on a walk through our neighborhood as well. At least one weekend day I’ll either take them to the dog park or on a longer hike/ walk which they absolutely love. I have devoted my days to pet sitting so I am available almost always. I take care of my own animals from sun up till sun down! I have a big fully fenced in yard that my dogs absolutely love! I normally am outside with them playing with them or just to keep an eye on them!

“Olivia was so great walking Clutch! She sent lots of pictures and we could tell he was so happy to be on a walk with her. We’d book her again!”
