3. Alivia K.

“I found Alivia K on facebook in a local pet lost and found community group and I am so thankful I found her!!! Alivia was absolutely wonderful with my 1 year old golden sunny. He absolutely loved her (which made me feel better) because dogs know when someone is a good warmhearted , caring person and Alivia is just that. Alivia sent me pictures (which eased my anxiety) leaving sunny with her, and made me feel more at ease about leaving sunny with her. Sunny had a big smile on his face when she dog sat for him. I am definitely going to book with Alivia from here on out and in the foreseable future! Ali is absolutely fantatasic and your animals will love her too!!! I give Alivia 5 gold stars !! Thank YOU SO MUCH Alivia!!!! I am so happy you are local too!!!”


4. Savannah J.

“Savannah really pulled through for us during a time where we needed a last minute sitter. She was able to help us out SO MUCH and house sit our two high maintenance pups: our new shelter puppy, and our elderly lab with epilepsy. Savannah is incredibly sweet and you can tell that she loves animals. She has a welcoming, calm, loving energy and we felt our pups would be well cared for. She stayed in communication with us and sent photos, checking in with any questions and provide updates. We’ll be sure to reach out to her again in the future!”

“Ashley did amazing with our two dogs. She even paid attention to our GSP whose ears bother him from time to time. We didn’t mention it to her and she noticed…how thoughtful!! Both our dogs are energetic and she did great keeping them happy and feed. She stayed a bit longer on the last day just to make sure they were feed before she left. We appreciate her attention to detail, keeping the house tidy, and our pets happy!!! We will have her back!!!”

“Maxwell has been a passionate advocate for animals for as long as I’ve known him. He recently adopted a dog, Arlo, from the local shelter, and the two are inseparable! Whether it’s walking, biking, fishing, or kayaking, they do it all together. Maxwell also fosters dogs from the shelter, showing his incredible dedication and compassion. I trust him completely with my own dogs and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

12. Taylor F.
About: I have taken care of different animals growing up dog sitting, and dog walking is what I normally did! I love going on walks with dogs combines my two favorite things, the outdoors and animals! I have two other jobs but don’t work full time, I usually have a couple days off. When I’m off i like to be outside and doing things! I help make the animals feel safe! I know how some animals can be with their parents gone and it can make them feel scared or abandoned. So being there with them and playing with them can help calm that sense of abandonment!
