“Payton is the only person I trust with my dog. Not only is she extremely caring and playful with him, but her knowledge of veterinary care makes me feel totally safe leaving him with her. Whether she’s just stopping by to walk him for a bit or staying with him over night, he’s always so excited to see her!”

10. jamie m.
“Jamie has been a lifesaver when it comes to walking my Pekapoo, Bella, who is very high-energy and doesn’t always listen. Jamie handled her with ease and made sure Bella got her longer walks, especially when I was busy with work. It's a relief to know Bella is in such capable hands, and I really appreciate Jamie’s reliability and patience. Highly recommend her for anyone with a pup who needs a little extra attention!”
11. Ned S.
“There is not one person I would trust my dog with more than Ned. I liken him to the “dog whisperer.” My own dog Charlie would actually ignore me whenever Ned was present. Ned is patient, kind, responsible and an overall great person. Those traits carry through to his attention, care and true love of animals. Not only would I recommend Ned to care for your pet, I would say you’re lucky to have him with your precious furry friends!”

18. Linda R.
About: As an owner of a hound mix, I will make sure that your fur baby's happiness is a top priority because I would want the same thing for her. Because I'm semi-retired, I would have plenty of time to walk and play with your pup. I'm available most mid-mornings to late afternoons on weekdays with possible availability on Saturdays. I can walk, feed, and play with your pup at your residence if needed. I have worked with a trainer in order to walk on a lead with my dog and would apply those lessons yours. I can also crate your dog if needed.
19. Joanne B.
“Joanne has and continues to be an incredible help with my dog. Her vet tech skills have always come in handy when my dog Dallas is going through a physical rough patch. She is as kind and loving with dogs as she is with their owners! I would trust her to care for my dog and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a pet sitter for theirs. She’s great!”
20. Sara K.
“Saying Sara loves dogs is an understatement! Friendly, affordable care. I highly recommend Sara for day or overnight boarding for your pet. Your dog will be cared for and comfortable during their stay. Make sure to say hello to her two babies, Oreo and Java, when you come by!”
