5. alanna h.

“Alanna is awesome! I have 3 cats - one older cat that is shy and often would not come out for cat-sitters, and two young ones that are full of energy and need lots of attention and affection. Alanna gained the trust of the shy one and spent lots of time playing with the ones who need that affection and interaction. She sent helpful notes and great pictures from her visits that really captured their personalities and showed what they were doing during their visits with her. She is a very caring and responsible person and I feel very fortunate that she was able to care for my cats!”

Rachel took care of all their needs, including feeding, walking, and administering medication. She gave special attention to our blind dog, ensuring he felt safe and comfortable. Her updates and photos gave us peace of mind knowing our boys were in the best hands. Rachel’s genuine love for animals and professionalism make her a fantastic dog walker and caregiver. Thank you, Rachel, for treating our pups like your own!”

19. Jacqueline T.
“Jackie was great with both of our dogs! They can both be pretty high energy, and it was great to have someone so active to help out with everything. She was always super friendly and accommodating, we’d recommend her to anyone!”


20. Sheridan W.
“I've know Sheridan for 2+ years. During this time we have both worked together and she has dog sat for me numerous times. Sheridan ha always been kind, detail oriented and responsible. She has cared for my pets (100lbs and 50lbs) while staying in my home for an extended vacation. She has also stopped by 2-3 times a day during shorter events. She's always been my back up for random last minute pet needs and be willing to accommodate them. My senior dog takes daily medication and has more needs, she's been wonderful with ensuring she gets the care she needs at her age and size to be comfortable. Additionally she ensured my younger dog gets additional exercise in the yard or on walks. I would absolutely recommend Sheridan if you're looking for someone responsible who loves animals and is willing to care for them just like you do!”
