15. Tara Dawn A.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was eight years old and have had dogs and cats of my own. I am a friend of the fur babies:) My friends and neighbors have relied on me to take good care of their pets while they were away. I’m currently working from home and live near the lake and walking trails so I am able to exercise and play with your pup during the day:) You can relax and have the peace of mind that I only take on one pet at a time to make sure they have my attention.
16. Temitayo O.
“Temitayo was super kind and thoughtful throughout the process. Successfully followed all my instructions and my dog is obsessed. I feel so relieved to have a consistent walker who is easygoing and bonded so quickly with my pup.”
17. Joshua S.
“If you are looking to find a sweet, caring, trustworthy person to take care of your fur babies while you are away, Josh is the pet caregiver for you! Josh has watched my cat Tizzo since he was a kitten (almost 3 years). He treats my home with respect and keeps it clean while making sure my cat feels safe and comforted. He always gives timely updates that give me peace of mind and let me know my cat is in safe hands.”
