“Jennifer is a very caring, loving person that takes caregiving very seriously. She has taken care of my sweet dog and Pokey LOVED her. There was no transition-they both fell right into a loving routine. I would recommend her services to anyone.”
5. Amanda R.
About: I have had a family dog since I was about 8 years old and have been responsible for caring for animals for all my life! I currently own 2 Shiba Inu's and 2 cats! My dream is to be able to provide a safe and loving home for all animals that I physically can take care of. I love animals and want to do everything to ensure they have quality lives. I work during the week 8:30-4:30 and I usually can care for pets in the evenings or early mornings. I work from home Wed-Fri so my schedule is usually a bit more flexible those days! I am also available all day on the weekends and would love to spend some down time with furry friends! I am not providing in home services at this time. For drop in visits, respecting another persons home is of the utmost importance to me. I am trustworthy and respectful of belongings and your privacy, which is something I value myself! I am happy to speak more with you about any home related responsibilities during the visit, such as home alarm systems.

8. Coral S.
“Thank you! ☺️pups loved their walk!”
9. Sarah P.
“Sarah did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was out of town. She was booked for walks and was very punctual. She also provided detailed reports and pictures for every visit, which was nice to see how my dog was doing while I was gone. She was also thoughtful enough to refill the water bowl when she noticed it was low. I will definitely be re-booking with Sarah the next time I go out of town.”
10. Ally K.
“Ally could not have done a better job with my 2 dogs...the older one can be stubborn and stand-offish with strangers and Ally knew exactly what to do to have him warm up to him by the end of the week. She was reliable and had great communication throughout her services. Not only would I give her a 5 star, but would highly recommend using her as well!”
11. Christopher E.
“CJ and Sarah are so great! Always on time. Always friendly. Always great with my pup! I can't thank them enough, or say enough great things about them. If you're looking for someone to help with your best friend, book them now. They're the best!!!!!”
12. Lilli & Zachary G.
“For anyone looking for loving and reliable caretakers for your furry friends I highly recommend Lilli and Zach! I have had the pleasure of having them watch and care for my animals (and vice versa) for a few years now and I couldn’t be happier with the results! They are flexible and patient and my pets are always super excited to see them each and every time I require their services. They never disappoint. They will always be my go-to caregivers because I know that I can rely on them to provide the love and care my animals need”
13. Eddie B.
“Eddie is wonderful with our pets, we went out of the country for 2 weeks in December and Eddie stayed at our house the whole time and took care of our fur babies. It was great for our dogs to not have to be anxiety ridden and be boarded or have someone just drop in.”
14. Cynthia B.
About: Ever since I was 15 years old, I cared for my sister's Rottweiler Bear. I worked at a pet store cleaning kennels and handling the dogs. I have volunteered at Orphans of the Storm animal shelter, Heartland Animal Shelter & Border tails rescue. Currently fostering a 4 year old Australian Shepherd mix from Border Tails Rescue. *update* Canelo passed on :( Hoping your dog is good with other dogs :) I have a foster fail dog named Onyx. He is the sweetest and currently fighting cancer. He loves other dogs. I work from home monday to friday. & I am off on weekends. No children or other adults are in my home. Just my dog. I am never gone for long and when I am, usually just running errands. Currently have a Boxer & Lab mix. He is very friendly and loves other dogs. He is very playful and would get along with your dog. Dogs are allowed on the couch. Currently my dog does not sleep with me. He has his own bed. Owner would need to provide dog bed. I take my dogs on long walks.

About: I have had dogs since I was 10 , and I've always had a passion for them. When I was younger, I would read books about every type of dog I could get my hands on. I'll be good for your pets because I'm able to adjust to every individual need for your animals. I've watched dogs for friends and family for many years while they were on vacation. I have spent the last few years working in commercial pet care at various daycare and boarding facilities. This includes dogs, cats, birds and various small rodents. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make your dogs, and yourself as comfortable as possible. I'm happy to go on frequent walks of any duration or difficulty. I used to take one of my own dogs hiking so I'm willing and able to do whatever they are used to. I'm also happy to be at your home as frequently as you'd prefer, and I'd love to maintain open communication with you while you are away. I have also recently acquired a PACCC certification. I’m freelancing at the moment so I have an open schedule at the moment. I am available Mondays, and Wednesday - Saturday. Sundays are also available upon request. I always prefer to meet with pet parents so I can be aware of any potential safety problems in the home and when walking dogs I like to bring a secondary slip leash to use so that in case anything happens to the first leash/collar, your pet is unable to slip away from me.
16. Jessica & Aaron M.
“Jessica and Aaron have watched my dogs on countless occasions. At this point my dogs love her more than they love me! You will not find a bigger animal lover out there! Your pups will be in the best hands with these two taking care of them.”
17. Lori M.
“We starting using Lori about two weeks ago and she has been great. Chelsea, our dog, loves her. The weather had been rainy windy and cold lately but she is still taking great care of her and it truly puts my mind at ease while working knowing Chelsea is in good reliable hands. ”
18. Matthew B.
“Please confirm Matthew will be here until further notice”
19. Dunja M.

20. Michael L.
