1. Jessica R.
“Jessica was a lifesaver, I normally work from home but needed to be in office for a week unexpectedly and needed a daytime walk for our dog Tuula. Jessica responded immediately and stopped by to meet Tuula and get instructions on the walk. She arrived every day in a timely way and took really good care of Tuula. Very communicative and was not afraid to ask for additional clarification on anything. Will use her again when the need arises!”

19. Jon S.
About: Hey there - I’m Jon! I work from home in a peaceful environment with no kids or roommates. I’m 30 years old, and have been responsible for 2 dogs, Sadie and Rupert, throughout about half of my life. Sadie, a female Labrador, was an amazing family friend. She was my childhood dog, and I brought her to college with me, where she kept me company during all my studies. Sadly, she passed a few years ago. Rupert, a male Dachshund, came about when my neighbor needed a dog sitter. Eventually, my neighbor could no longer take care of him, so I offered to take care of him. Rupert is 8 now, and is my best friend. He has had a couple of surgeries and injuries, and I’ve nursed him through those hard times. He is doing better than ever, and I love him more and more every day. I will treat your pet like they are my own! I can also run with your dog! Rupert is very social and absolutely loves to interact with other dogs. Part of the reason I’m on this app is simply to help him find friends! About me: I am a very strong communicator, e.g. I will respond to messages within 30 minutes. I am also a rule-follower, so I will follow your instructions and treat this like a real job. I am super flexible and will do pretty much anything you ask me to do within reason. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I am mostly looking for work on weekdays to keep myself busy, especially during the daytime. I don’t have a fenced yard, so I will always go on a walk. I can definitely crate your dog if needed. My dachshund would also love some company!
20. Victoria R.
About: Growing up all my family have always had dogs so I have years of experience caring for small, medium, and large dogs. I also recently got a kitten and have lived with an adult cat for the past year. I can follow strict feeding schedules, I can administer liquid or pill medicines, as well as walk, play with, and clean after dogs and cats. I work full time Monday through Friday and every other weekend part time (usually mornings) so I can stop by for care/walks on most weekends! I currently live in a small apartment with three cats so there’s plenty of toys and trees/scratchers for them everywhere! I can’t currently care for pets in my home.
