4. Jiarui W.
“I can’t thank Jiarui enough for the fine job she did with my two newly rescued kittens. They were nervous around people, but Jiarui visited every day for five days, showing such patience and care. By the end of her visits, the kittens were noticeably more comfortable around us hoomans, showing even a little playfulness! She truly has a gift for working with timid animals and helping them feel safe. Jiarui’s gentle approach and dedication made all the difference—I highly recommend her to anyone needing a compassionate, skilled pet sitter!”

7. Samantha S.
“We have been so happy to have Sam walk our dog. Sam has great experience and communication. Our dog is cautious of people and has some unique needs - he was immediately at ease and comfortable with Sam!”
8. julie k.
“Julie loves dogs and they love her. Whenever she comes over, my dog goes crazy with joy to see her again. He works to get her attention the entire time she is visiting. If we go out for a walk with her, he favors her. I think it is because she shows genuine affection and attention to him, and he understands that she adores him. Your dogs will be in good hands with Julie.”
9. Emily B.
“Emily is a very caring, reliable and loving dog walker. When we asked her to walk our young dog, she stayed in touch, tailored walks to him, and sent us photos to let us know how he was doing. Our dog also loved meeting and playing with her Basset Hound Fred. They quickly became best friends. Jimmy D.”

“Jasmin is experienced with animals and is a true dog lover. She does a great job walking our dog and also follows owner instructions well.”
13. Anja L.
“Anja is honestly one of the best pet sitters I have ever had!! She is very kind and gentle with my babies. We have elderly dogs at home and they have a pretty rigorous medicine schedule and she had no problem at all keeping up and making sure they were taking their meds. She was very attentive when I explained it and I will be booking her again! Would recommend for anyone with senior dogs or dogs with health problems.”
14. Mike S.
“Very satisfied with how well the walk worked out for my two Samoyeds. I was concerned with how well the walk would go because my dogs are a handful (high energy and like to pull) but Mike is very experienced and he put my concerns at ease. He goes out of his way to make sure everything goes well. He even reached out to see if I needed to reschedule due to the rain. You can tell he truly cares about making the most out of these walks for the dogs. I will definitely be booking another walk soon!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breed and temperaments. I am experienced from young puppies to seniors. I am able to provide medical attention to your pets as well if they are needed and have experience training dogs. I’m currently working part time at an animal rescue so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I can provide multiple walks and socialization throughout the day! I have 3 dogs myself who love other dogs if your pet ever needs more socialization! I will always make sure your pet is happy and safe while in my care. They will get plenty of potty breaks!
16. Santiago O.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my dedication to understanding each pet’s unique needs and personality. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, from training energetic puppies to caring for senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I am skilled in administering medications, understanding pet body language, and creating a safe, comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s preferences. My approach is based on empathy and routine, ensuring pets feel secure and owners have peace of mind while they’re away. I am currently working part-time so i do have a lot of time available. I am taking classes online and so this allows me to be more available. I prioritize safety, trust, and a welcoming environment in every pet care situation. In my home, I create a pet-friendly space with secure areas for play, rest, and quiet time. I keep potentially hazardous items out of reach and ensure pets have fresh water, comfortable bedding, and plenty of enrichment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all provided instructions to maintain the pet’s routine. I’m attentive to home safety by double-checking doors, monitoring pets during outdoor time, and keeping their living areas clean. Whether at my place or yours, I strive to build trust with both the pet and owner, providing updates and open communication for complete peace of mind.

“Gail, cared for my 2 fur babies! So I could visit my kids for Christmas, my flight was canceled and I was not able to return home for another four days . My mind was at ease as I was unable to get home and working remotely , she took care of them on a moments notice. Thank you Gail for everything!! Happy New Year !!!”
18. Nolan P.
“Nolan took excellent care of our 3 dogs and 2 cats when we were on vacation. It was a lot to manage but he did a great job. Walking 3 dogs of completely different ages and sizes and dispositions isn’t easy, especially when you don’t know them well, but he managed it perfectly. Animals just seem to like him and he’s a natural with them. Also very professional in terms of locking doors, managing things at the house, etc.”
19. Gretta K.
“Gretta is amazing. She has cared for our pets on many, many occasions and always goes above and beyond to make sure they are well cared for. She is kind, compassionate, reliable and responsible. I would not hesitate to use her again in the future and highly recommend her.”
20. Keiki F.
“Keiki was wonderful with my older, nervous dog. They had a great walk and my pup felt right at home with her. She is friendly and kind and I would be happy to have her back next time I need someone to care for maya.”
