1. Hoai B.

“Hoai was great to work with and took good care of our fur babies! She was very good about sending updates and pictures. She’s a true animal lover!”


2. Grace T.

“Grace was wonderful meeting our extremely enthusiastic puppy for the first time. She knew instinctively how to handle her with love and firmness (when necessary). She took lots of pictures and sent them to us while we were away, which was a great comfort to us. Grace will defiantly be our first choice whenever we have to leave the house for any extended period of time.”


3. Raeshma G.
“I’ve known Aniesa for quite some time, and I can confidently say she would make an incredible dog walker. She’s a loving and caring mother who brings that same warmth and responsibility to everything she does — including how she treats her own goldendoodle, who’s more like a family member than a pet. Aniesa is always punctual, follows instructions carefully, and ensures things are done right the first time. Beyond that, she’s a fun, positive, and compassionate person who animals seem to naturally gravitate toward. Any pet would be lucky to have her looking after them, and any pet parent can rest easy knowing their furry loved one is in Aniesa’s capable and caring hands.”


4. Jacqueline M.

“Jacqueline was really patient with my dog who is very anxious and has bad separation anxiety when we leave . We were also very nervous to leave him but she did an amazing job of attending to his needs and really taking good care of chewie . She is really good at what she does .”


5. Michele W.

“What a pleasure for us to have met Michele. She encompasses that “IT PLUS FACTOR!” There are NOT enough stars to rate her or her service as she is hands-down above par! Thanks again Michele!”


6. Bradey S.

“Bradey went the extra mile. THANK YOU”


7. Zhenni L.

“So impressed with Zhenni! She bonded with our 11 year old Shih Tzu and took great care of him for three days. She made sure Charlie ate his food, refilled his water and took him for walks twice per day. She even sent several pictures of Charlie each day which gave me comfort knowing Charlie was in good hands. I highly recommend Zhenni and already scheduled her to watch Charlie again!”


8. Natalie T.
“Natalie has been such an amazing dog sitter for our active 3-year old Dalmatian! Natalie has always been a reliable and trustworthy caregiver, and our fur baby absolutely loves her! I would 100% recommend Natalie to anyone in need of someone to look after their pet.”


9. Crystal H.
“Crystal is the sweetest doggie caregiver ever . She took care of our 4 month old Golden Retriever during a weekend getaway we had pre planned before adopting our pup . She was so flexible and willing to care for Annie even though she wasn’t fully house trained . I appreciated her periodic updates and responsiveness . I will continue to reach out to her for any future boarding needs.”


10. Vy N.
“Vy was a wonderful caretaker for my furbabies! She’s patient and caring with my 13yr old chihuahua and 11yr old cockapoo. They’re both seniors so they have their own separate needs but I know I can trust Vy to handle them with the love of an experienced caretaker. The cockapoo loves to walk but the chi is more of diva. But Vy makes sure to get her to walk a little before getting into her carrier sling. I have no complaints and completely trust Vy with my babies. She provides the peace of mind needed to allow me to enjoy any trip (even a simple midday walk during my work hrs) because I know that they are in good capable hands.”


11. Cinthia C.
“Cinthia has taken care of my pug, Igor for 2 and a half years now. She taught him many tricks and most importantly showed him discipline and how to behave on walks.She has really helped me raise him.”


12. Elizabeth M.
“Elizabeth has taken care of our numerous dogs over the years. She is caring and kind and truly loves them. My dogs wag their tails when they see her which is a true testament to her character and compassion towards them. I 100% trust Elizabeth with my most important possession (my dogs) and completely trust her to enter my house and ensure it is secured upon her departure.”


13. Anna M.

“Anna M. has now taken care of my dog, Finn, twice and my separation anxiety has reduced both times. She visits precisely the same time each day, loves my dog, and he seems to become accustomed to her quickly. We just had those horrendous winds and I was a bit worried about how my dog would react, but he just hunkered down like dogs do in my house and relied on Anna coming to feed him. It was like I’d never left when I returned from a 7-day trip. Stuff had blown around my backyard and Anna had made some sense of it.”


14. Anika S.
About: My whole life I’ve always had a passion for animals and taking care of them would be a dream to me. Pets light up my world and inspire me with their unique personalities. I am available to work around schedules and am free to work whenever as of now. Preferably any time after 10 am will work best for me. I am also available on weekends. I always show animals love and affection and make sure their needs are met. I am good at knowing what they need and picking up on their signs.


15. Hsin C.
“I’ve known Sheila since childhood and her love of dogs hasn’t changed. You can see in her character the amount of care she puts into a friendship is the same amount of love she has for all dogs. I say all dogs because even though I am not a huge dog person, she sends me more social media posts about dogs than she does silly memes. I have gotten dog memes, dog rescue stories, foster and adoption posts, cute posts of puppies, posts of senior dogs looking for their forever family, the list goes on. She dog sits her coworkers’ and friends’ dogs. She knows what she’s doing when it comes to loving and caring for your pet.”


16. Emmalie S.

“Emmalie was awesome!! She was available when we needed her and from the moment I met her, I felt like my pup was going to be in good hands! She kept me updated on all things happening and was very communicative! I would totally recommend her!”


17. Anna J.

“We love Anna, we’ve had her for a few weeks now. Love the updates she sends us. Our 70lb shepherd mix loves her. Very happy.”


18. Denise B.

“First time using Denise. She took great care of my two fur babies. Feed and watered them twice a day. So nice being able to vacation stress free knowing that my pups were being well cared for. Denise was great and I will definitely use her again.”


19. Zahra T.
About: Hi, I’m Zahra and I’ve been taking care of for friends for the last 10 years. My love for animals started when my sister got a French bulldog, but her apartment didn’t allow dogs so I took her dog in and became the glorified step dog mother. I have walked and carried for all types of dogs from the little ones to the more active breeds who love to chase squirrels. I have experience with dogs, cats, and even pigs! Needless to say, I can definitely hold my own. I have a flexible work from home job that allows me to take multiple breaks a day to walk and care for your pets. This includes morning afternoon, late afternoon and evening. My backyard leads into a beautiful trail, which also leads to a nice grassy park. I have a medium sized backyard. That’s also enclosed. I’m happy to care for your dog in your neighborhood as well.




20. Angela L.
“Angela is a wonderful dog sitter and caretaker. She has so much love for all dogs and knows how to handle them to be stern but still loving! She will make sure that your dog is given all the attention and companionship they need in your absence!”
