13. Kennedy F.
About: I have had a dog all of my life and enjoy playing with them and taking them for walks. I currently have a mini dachshund puppy of my own that I have been caring for since he was 2 months old. I care for all the dogs I take care of or walk like they are my own. I am very good at giving pets the attention that they need to be content and healthy. I can get along with many different types of dogs and their different needs. Overall I love taking care of dogs and giving them what they need. I have a varying schedule with work but am available to walk and take care of your pet within my work schedule as long as I have prior notice. I can easily take your pet on walks, feed them, play with them as much as possible. I am able to crate your pets when needed.


14. Arielle & Karl A.

“Arielle and Karl did a great job playing with our dogs while we were gone. Great communication and responsiveness. I’d definitely book them again!”


15. Rylee M.
“Rylee is an incredibly kind person who is absolutely amazing with pets of all kinds!! I have never met someone who is better with animals than her. They are great with meeting pets with where they are, respecting boundaries and encouraging growth and training habits. Rylee is also a great communicator and incredibly trustworthy regardless of the situation. Pets also adore her, often warming up within minutes (including dogs with separation anxiety and cats that otherwise are not social). They are also great with non traditional pets! Rylee handles reptiles and fish with just as much care as she interacts with furry friends. Her leopard gecko is genuinely one of the best behaved pets I have ever met!”


16. Keirston J.
“Keirston was a great petsitter while I was gone on vacation. She took care of my lab and chihuahua and kept me updated with photos throughout my trip, so I knew my fur babies were happy!”


17. Pete L.

“Great communication, took great care of my Luna on her first ever overnights without me!”


18. Kaeleigh B.
“Kaeleigh is beyond professional and is great with animals! I would trust my animals (and have numerous times for extended periods of times) with her any day. Definitely would recommend!”


19. Matthew P.

“Matt does an amazing job with our temperamental dog. He respects his boundaries and gives him lots of attention😊 highly reccomend”

About: I have had pets of all shapes and sizes, all phases of life for my own entire life. I love getting to know the personalities of the pets in my life to make us both comfortable and confident in our environment!

I am happy to discuss special needs or extra details important for making your four legged family member feel safe and cared for while you are away.
