3. mariah r.
“The first time I met Mariah she was very friendly and took in all my instructions (even with all the construction chaos at our home). We have only had our boys for 8 months so I assumed they would hide everytime she came but they must have liked her because the did come out and ven played while she was here. We received pictures and updates each time she was gere which was so very comforting! Will absolutely hire her again! Thank you Mariah you were wonderful!”

“Paige is absolutely incredible! I couldn’t find someone to watch my GSD mix and had to go out of town unexpectedly. He’s a rescue and doesn’t trust many people. But I messaged Paige and not only did she watch him for me, she cleared her schedule to come do a meet and greet with him beforehand to make sure he would be comfortable. She’s great dogs as she has some of her own. Now, she’s my regular dog walker! My dog loves Paige!”

15. Jennifer P.
“She has taken care of my dog before and she's great! She makes sure to give them plenty of time to play in the fenced in yard, and she makes sure to follow any special directions or requests specific to the dog. It's obvious she truly cares not only for her own dogs but all pets!”
16. Kate B.
“Kate is amazing with our dogs! We have 2…one is very shy and the other has a little terrier attitude. It usually takes them a while to warm-up to new people. Not the case with Kate, she is so sweet! Our shy dog loved her immediately, which was such a relief. Kate knew exactly how to greet the terrier and put her hand out so she could sniff her. The terrier loved her after that! Kate was extremely punctual every single visit. She took pics every visit which was very comforting- one was so cute, it’s now my phone wallpaper! When we got home, our girls were happy to see us, but they weren’t crazy which tells me they were well taken care of! We will definitely schedule Kate to take care of our girls again if needed. She really made our time away relaxing, we are so appreciative.”
17. Jin M.
“Jin has been handling my Dog for a few years and she is amazing. I have a malamute and she understands the need to show positive dominance over the breed. Being a Mal he is a puller and she has no issues with controlling my boy even on those icy days. When away she has taken care of ensuring he gets feed the meals we have prepared for him and gives many updates on how things are going with him.”
18. Nafisa S.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for roughly 11 years. I love animals more than I do people! I even used to train dogs at the SPCA to help them get adopted. All of my friends finally have dogs and I’m the go to girl whenever they need a hand. I have a pittie that is 9 years old who is sometimes fearful so I’m good with reactive / fearful dogs as well. I’m currently working very consistent daytime hours, always in by 9 & out by 4 so I have time to visit your furbaby in the early mornings and the evenings. Also open availability on weekends to romp around and play all day! I have an occasionally fearful dog so I would not bring your baby to my home but would love to come dog sit at yours. I’ll bring treats and activities and of course lots of love. If your dog has any allergies or special considerations, I’m more than happy to accommodate as best as I can.
19. Marissa R.
“Marissa was great with Ozzy and was always on time or early to her visits. Ozzy is very shy and she got him out of his shell eventually! I came back to my house smelling super clean too so she also did a great job emptying thr litter box”
20. Marijo M.
“Willingness to meet and greet before hand and go over everything. Positive attitude. Great with last minute change due to traffic. Great experience overall.”
