Emily is sweet and loving. She clearly loves animals and our two pups love her. Emily is dependable and prompt and quickly responds. We are planning to have her back on regular schedule.

Robin was so fantastic that I had to give her another view. She truly is a godsend. My dog Angel was in such good care with her. You don’t have to worry about anything when Robin takes care of your furry Friend. She truly is awesome. What a kind person she is. I will always use her when we go away. She is so wonderful.

We are so happy we had Anna to take care of our two dogs! She was very easy to communicate with and dependable. She took great care of our two large dogs, and they seemed very happy when we returned home. Would recommend her and use her again!

Priscilla is so fantastic with our boys. We had to leave earlier than expected, and Priscilla was able to accommodate us with just a few hours notice. Our boys are so happy when Priscilla care for them. Recommend her without reservation!

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was young, dog-sitting for neighbors and people I know, and I’ve trained my own dogs as well, including my German Shepherd/Doberman rescue. I adore both big and small dogs and love taking high-energy pups on scenic hikes or runs. I prioritize safety, enrichment, and happiness, and I focus on building trust—dogs naturally seem to fall in love with our time together. I’m available most days for walks, hikes, and runs with your dog (rain or shine).I keep my clients local (within about 20 minutes) so I can stay flexible, dependable, and truly attentive. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so dogs can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I stick closely to each dog’s routine and prioritize safety, calm, and trust. I’m very mindful of both your dog and your home, and I focus on creating a relaxed, happy experience that dogs settle into easily.

Jill was amazing. I contacted her at the last minute and hired her sight unseen based on her reviews. My puppy Charli is everything to us and I am SO excited as I feel we hit the jackpot having found her!!! I have peace of mind knowing if I need to be away from Charli, Jill is the perfect fill in for Mommie?

Lynsey is an excellent choice for any pet owner who wants their pet to be well loved while they're away. She takes the time to make your pet comfortable, gives all the pets and even took care of our crested gecko! Lynsey is a true lifesaver and we were able to rest easy knowing our cat Lynx was in her responsible and knowledgeable care. Thank you Lynsey!

Meaghan was incredible babysitting our, at times, difficult and needy cat Ashley. Despite a few growls and a hiss at first, Meaghan kept earning our cat’s trust with each visit which is a huge success when it comes to our kitty. Having Meaghan watch our cat while we were away helped our stress levels immensely and I will certainly be hiring her for our next trip.

My husband and I knew upon meeting Tara for the first time that she was the perfect fit with our cat, Charlie. Charlie is very shy and usually hides when people come to visit. However, this was not the case when Tara entered our home. Tara did a top-notch job taking care of Charlie during her drop in visits over a period of one month. We were so happy when she sent up pictures and updates. Tara is reliable, kind, professional, and a true animal lover. Cats can be messy with the litter, etc. But with Tara on the job, we came home to a very neat home and well-fed, content cat. We will definitely seek Tara services again. Furthermore, we highly recommend her. Thanks a million, Tara.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Kaylee for our dog Nikko while we were away for two weeks. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make sure he was not only cared for, but truly loved and engaged. Kaylee spent extra time with Nikko, took him on car rides (which he loves!), and made sure he had both fun and comfort while we were gone. It was clear from the photos and updates—and even more so when we returned—that he really enjoyed his time with her. She treated Nikko like her own, and that kind of care is priceless. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We highly recommend Kaylee and would absolutely book with her again!

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a kid. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets while they were away or needed time out. I also have experience in the medical side of things as well! I currently have goats and chickens that I take care of mornings and evenings on weekdays. I am available between 10am- 4pm on weekdays and all day on weekends! I have a small studio with just me in it! A huge yard and a lot of walking trails near by! I will also send pictures and videos to keep your mind at ease.

About: I love being with animals and have experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, jumping sliders, and lizards. I enjoy learning each animal’s personality and making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I am a student who goes to college out of state but is home for the month of January and is also working part time. Since losing a dog of my own I figured this would be a great opportunity to help others with their pets and still have a great time with animals. I do have a fenced in yard if I take dogs into my home but in other peoples homes, listening to the guardian is most important to me on how they coexist with their pet and respecting that. At the end of the day I want to help people care for their pets.

About: My name is Alicen. I have been around animals all of my life. I naturally love dogs. It's always been easy for them and I to get along and training is like second nature. Me and the dogs I care for have a great time in and out. I have access to several dog parks and walking trails for the best dog walking experience. I currently have three well behaved dogs in my household. I do well bringing them places I go, and if they can't come for the ride, then they have a comfortable place to be. I know what it takes to love a pup! I will make sure your furry family member has been well taken care of and follow all instructions given in regards to their care. I care for your doggies diet, I’m experienced with elder dogs and am able to accommodate dogs with disabilities. I also may provide pictures to help promote my dog walking business. Lots of fun, snuggles included! I have a nice, flexible schedule and alert to my phone. I recently have had a gap open up in my schedule and looking to fill that with productive walks and lots of attention for your pup. I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs to keep your companion company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. In my home I have certain rules to reinforce and your pets will be safely exposed to new things.
