1. Barbara G.
“Barbara was great! We had her stop by to let our dogs out while we went out of town. She sent pictures with each visit, filled us in on how dogs were doing, at the meet & greet asked lots of questions so she knew more what to expect. Took the dogs for walks and let them play around for awhile before putting them back in kennels. Treated them like we would have. One of our dogs is pretty timid around other people, even she warmed quickly to Barbara. We would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter and/or have her watch our again!”
2. Erin R.
“Our dog Remi loves Erin! She is always so excited to see Erin when she comes and isn't anxious when we leave (like she normally is). Erin does a great job taking care of her and gives our energetic dog lots of exercise. Erin is also very respectful of our house when she is dog sitting.”
3. Laura A.
“Kitty Cody & I could not dream of a more caring, reliable and fun 2nd mommy than Laura! The only way I am able to feel comfortable having to ever be away is bc of the excellent care provided by Laura & her family. She sends thorough updates & photos each day to me so that I can stay connected & know my 15 year old rescue fur baby is thriving. She is able to expertly administer his meds easier than I can & she ensures his water intake which can only be done via running sink water is plentiful each visit & she is able to engage him in play time even better than I can. It is a true blessing to have the peace of mind that Laura provides me when I need to be away from my precious Cody. A++++”

“Mahala loves animals so much she is getting a degree in Wildlife Management and Ecology. She's had pets her whole life, plus has extensive experience working with animals as a Veterinary Assistant and Doggie Day Care. She is responsible, caring, compassionate and loving with animals of all kinds. She is the quintessential animal magnet - when she is around a dog or cat, they sense she is a kind, fun, loving person to be with and they eagerly gravitate to her. I guarantee she will take excellent care of your beloved pet and they will be excited to see her next time too!”

“Owen has been a great caretaker for our 2 labs and cat! He is reliable, trustworthy, and our pets just love when he walks in the door! His availability has been the most helpful for our spontaneous schedule and his flexibility goes without saying he loves what he does for a side gig! It’s the perfect fit for our family & helping him with college expenses is a win win!”
8. Amber Z.
“I am extremely happy with the care that Amber gave to our cat while we were on vacation. I didn’t want to take her to a kennel because pet’s have an easier time being in their own home. She went above and beyond to make sure she was doing ok and spent time with her so she didn’t feel neglected. Definitely will get her again and recommend her to anyone.”

“Mya is an extremely loving animal care taker. She has watched over many animals in their homes in the past and continues to do so now. She also has been working at a dog resort for the past two years if not longer. She has pets of her own that she loves and is very responsible with. One of her favorite things to do is go walk and pet dogs at her local animal shelter.”

She's one of the smartest people I know with a soft heart for animals. Did I mention her love of DOGS? She has watched our dogs on numerous occasions and they would have gladly gone home with her after her stay. I would highly recommend her!”

13. Stephanie J.
About: I have 2 dogs of my own. One currently being a 3 month old puppy. Patience is key. I sometimes watch up to 5 dogs at one time in my home, or at friend’s houses. My dogs LOVE new people and friends! We go for walks several times a day. I’m trustworthy, clean, respectful of your home and how much your furry friends mean to you! I have had years of experience pet sitting in other peoples homes from friends and family. I work Monday-Thursday day shift hours. Free on Fridays and most weekends. Evening walks or to pop in for potty breaks are best suited for my schedule during the week, but am flexible with work scheduling. I have 5 acres of farmette land, not fenced in but plenty of room to run. I also own several acres of woods and I take walks along the fence line to avoid being by the road. Can easily separate or crate pets as needed. I have an adult dog that free roams during the day and sleeps with me at night. And I have a puppy who is currently crate training.

About: Hi, I’m Charity and I would love to care for your pet. I love animals, always have, and I treat them as if they were my own. Safety is always my number one concern, so I make sure your dog is safe from harm and feeling healthy. If not, I take the proper measures to make sure they are better! I will take your pet outside to enjoy some sensory outdoor time. I have been known to know when something is off with dogs, and I will utilize my knowledge and expertise to thoroughly care for your pup. I’m open to suggestions from you as to how to spend my time I have with your pet. Thank you for checking me out and have a great day! I make sure the dog under my care is having a good time. I make sure I spend time playing with them, offer them their favorite toys, take them for extra walks, or more time outside together. I play fetch if that's what they enjoy. I make sure to take them for walks daily unless owner requests I do not. I keep them on their schedule including, feedings/drinks, medications, sleep time, and walk/play schedule. I treat dogs with kindness and respect. I want to make them feel at home. I’m open to do whatever activities would mimic their home environment.
15. Khyla G.
“Khyla is great with animals! She is our go to when we leave town, and our doggo wouldn’t want it any other way. She spends time with him, gives him lots of pets, makes sure he has water and anything else he may need. We can’t even say her name without him looking all over for her.”

18. Kathryn B.
“I have 2 cats and she did an amazing job with them while I was on vacation for 2 weeks out of state. Not only did she keep them fed and watered (which was all I asked for) but she bought them some new toys and brushed them for me! I’m planning another vacation this year and she’s already agreed to watching them! She’s great!”

20. Christopher C.
About: Hi, I'm Chris, and I’m excited to be your go-to dog walker! I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, and I understand just how important it is to give each one the right care and attention. Whether your dog loves a high-energy walk or prefers a more relaxed pace, I’m here to make sure they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need. Your dog's safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them as if they were my own, so you can rest easy knowing they're in good hands. Regular walks are crucial for dogs' well-being. They help maintain a healthy weight, reduce stress, and prevent behavioral problems like restlessness or excessive barking. Walks also provide valuable mental stimulation, allowing dogs to explore their surroundings, smell new scents, and socialize with other pets. By giving your dog consistent walks, you’re contributing to their physical and emotional health, helping them lead a happier and more fulfilled life. I have my son during the week. I do a lot of running and trail running so if you have an active dog, we could have a lot of fun. But I also enjoy slow paced walks and just enjoying the environment. As have had inside/outside dogs most of my life, I will always contain pets into the areas that are available for them but not a caged containment unless needed.
