“Brenton has been doing drop in visits for our two dogs for the past three weeks. We gave him 5 starts for his patience, flexibility, and reliability. One of our dogs is very fearful of new visitors, and Brenton was patient and let her warm up to him slowly and did not pressure her to do what he wants (like go outside, be pet, etc). He has not missed a day or forgotten about an appointment and even reminded me when I forgot to confirm an appointment. He always sends me a picture of my dogs during the visit, which is great! Thanks for taking care of our pups!”
“With less than 24 hrs notice Laura accepted the job! She was punctual and informative when I asked about the boys. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I am so thankful for her.”
“Cindy went above and beyond with our three cats. She was communicative with questions when it came to our special needs cat and was extremely alert and attentive. Also kudos to her because our youngest can be a bit of a challenge, but she handed them all perfectly. I would definitely trust her again with our pets.”
About: Hello, I’m Hilary! I have been dog sitting for friends for as long as I can remember and have loved every second of it!! I am a HUGE animal lover and can’t wait to meet you pet! Your dog and I will enjoy the great outdoors with either a nice walk or run, we’ll play fetch, explore new parks, and maybe learn a new trick! Weekday Availability: Monday through Friday I am available from 5:45 P.M -10:00 P.M. for drop-ins or walks. Weekend availability is much more flexible. I have loved all dogs (and all other animals) since I was a kid and can’t wait to meet yours! My husband and I have a Husky, Golden Retriever, Great Pyrenees and one outdoor cat. Our pets are a huge part of our daily routine and I love them all to pieces! We have a large/secure fenced in yard with an electronic dog door that allows our dogs to run and play whenever they want, even when we’re working!
About: I had a golden retriever when i was little girl, and my love for dogs exploded! I have experience with young puppies to older dogs. Playing fetch and walking are my favorite activities to see doggie tails wagging! 😊 I currently work part time and go to college part time. I have plenty of time to take care of your loving fur babies and make them always feel at home! I cannot do pet sitting at home, but I am more than comfortable staying at your home and taking care of your furry animal! Safety comes first!
About: I am 34 years old and am a huge dog lover. It’s been a few years since I’ve used this site (why my reviews are years old) but i’ve been missing it… so I am looking for new dogs to join my hikes! I own an 11 year old Australian Shepherd and an 9 year old Pitbull, and they’re my world. I usually take them on long hikes on wooden trails, and am more than willing to add some more dogs to our trips, or bring your dog on a solo adventure. I always stay on the cautious side with others pets and keep them on a leash unless told otherwise, but don’t worry, they’ll still get tired :) . I currently work Monday through Friday as a Pharmacy Technician at a home infusion pharmacy; but looking to pick up some walks with some cute pups in my down time :) Any questions feel free to ask! Early mornings until dusk, I’m willing to walk :) I work Monday-Friday as a Pharmacy IV Technician, so weekends are always open! More than willing to watch dogs during the week as long as they are okay with being alone while I work :) Willing to go to a clients house to watch their dogs. Not accepting dogs at my house at this time, just as mine are getting old.
