1. Lynn B.

“Lynn was fantastic! She was extremely friendly, on time, and her communication skills were on point. She made sure to ask all the right questions before hand so Queenie’s needs were met. She sent photos and videos throughout the day. Definitely rebooking anytime we need someone to sit Queenie again!”


2. Katherine K.

“Katherine did a wonderful job taking care of our pups and house while we on vacation. She came for a meet and greet before, meeting our fear-reactive pit-retriever mix and rough collie, spending plenty of time to interact with them and ask questions. She sent messages and pictures with updates. I definitely will be requesting her again.”


3. Katlyn W.
About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was a baby. I have always enjoyed being around animals and playing with them and building trust with them and being able to cuddle with them on tough days. I have had different types of animals in my life. I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamster, bearded dragon. I currently work part time as a nanny on mondays and Friday and I also currently am trying to create my own business of refurbishing furniture when I have the time. So I am available most days. If yard is fenced I let them run and play and watch them at all times. Otherwise I will put a leash on them so they stay close. I will also pay attention to where they are at all times.


4. Ally T.

“Ally was great at following detailed instructions. She went above and beyond to take care of extra animals at the house and went out of her way to do an extra visit when our plane was delayed. She took great care of our animals. Thank you!”


5. Payton H.
“Payton has been exposed to dogs dating back to her earliest years. She grew up in a multi-dog home, with as many as 5 dogs at any given point in time. We believed in teaching responsibility and exceptional pet ownership and Payton participated in the daily care of the dogs in addition to basic training using behavioral principles. I am a doctor of psychology and the applied behavioral sciences instructed us on how to train and develop our dogs. Payton also has watched dogs in our neighborhood, dogs of relatives, and recently stayed in the home of a multi-pet family based on referral. She has the experience and skillset needed for this position.”


6. Josephine F.
“Josie Frank is excellent with dogs as she has grown up with a dog her entire life and has had 2 or more at a time for most her life. She is loving and caring person who loves to spend time with her pets and take care of them. I would recommend Josie as a dog caretaker as she loves to take care of people and animals. Josie has been a lifeguard since she was 15 years old and I believe this shows how responsible Josie is for others and understands the importance of taking care of others.”


7. Allison S.

“Allison watched both my dogs for a full day and was great! She provided updates throughout the day and was a great companion for them while my husband and I were working! Thank you so much! We will definitely rebook with her!”


8. Callie S.
“Callie is a wonderful pet sitter/dog walker! I have had her watch my little pup at least 10 separate times and she always comes back to me so happy and content! She is super thorough about following your pets schedule and being mindful of their needs. My pup absolutely adores her. She always sends pictures and is prompt with updates both independently and when asked! I highly recommend Callie if you need some additional pet care!”


9. Heather A.
“Heather has always had a love for animals , she’s one of the most charismatic person i’ve ever met. She is definitely a cat and dog mom, but she always has lived on a farm and took care of farm animals such as , llamas , goats , chickens, geese , pheasants ect. You can tell that her love for animals is so genuine and pure . She has pet sat my pure bred german shepherd (who isn’t the best with new faces ) and did a phenomenal job and didn’t run from such a huge task , as well as my 2 cats .”


10. Maria S.
“Maria is very much a general animals person. We frequently visit the Animal Humane Society, and she has helped me take care of my three dogs. She also came by to check on our old cat everyday while my family and I were away. She has two cats of her own, and has wanted a dog for years. I would fully trust her with any animal I were to get in the future.”


11. Kevin K.
About: I have always loved all breeds of dogs and they are usually drawn to me! I have had a dog throughout every part of my life. My daily routine is very flexible and always able to adjust and adept to different things. I can always adjust to the schedule that is needed. Constantly making sure they have been to the bathroom or out for walks. Constantly feeding them on the schedule they know so they feel comfortable.


12. Rose H.

“Rose did a wonderful job watching my 3 year old dog, Oliver this past weekend. She did a great job providing updates and taking care of the house while I was gone. Would definitely recommend hiring her to stay with your pup!”


13. Hayli A.
About: I've had cats my entire life and have had a dog for the last 8 years. Taking care of pets has been a huge part of my life that I've come to love! I especially enjoy going for long walks and getting lots of pet snuggles! I do work during the week I have a very flexible work schedule most days and a lot of free time on most weekends and weekday nights. Your pets safety is my main concern. I understand that our fur babies are just that, our babies. I am a high energy person that loves to care for and play with pets. I'm the type of person that you will find hanging out with the animals at any gathering! I will be open about my availability and will give your fur baby attention and love including play time, pets, and walks, and anything else your fur baby needs to thrive.


14. Amy K.
“Highly recommend Amy! She stayed with our golden while we were on vacation for a week. She kept us updated with pictures, walked our girl a lot, brushed her and loved her like crazy. She was also willing to take care of things like garbage day and packages we received. Great communication before and during our vacation. We’ll be hiring her again. ♥️”


15. Ellie Y.

“Ellie was great! She took care of my Labrador Retriever for an extended period at our house. The pictures I received showed Kodie was doing well and having fun. They went on daily walks and even a longer hike one day, which was such a treat for him. Ellie notified me when she arrived and when she left and offered to return if my flight was delayed. She left the house in good order and had collected the mail daily. I appreciated Ellie's positive attitude and prompt responses. After meeting her and her obvious love and ease with my boy I felt confident that he would be in good hands. I would definitely book with Ellie again. Thank you!”


16. Sydney C.
“Sydney is the pet sitter you need in your life! I have been friends with her for some years now, she always helps watch my 3 dogs when I am out of town. She has a genuine love for animals and animals give her the same love back. One of my dogs has kidney issues and I never feel scared that she won’t get her supplements and on time when she is with Sydney. She takes them out to get exercise, is consistent with their feeding schedule, and gives them all the love they could ever want. Whatever your dogs needs/ challenges are, Sydney is more than capable.”


17. Nicole P.

“Once again, Nicole did an awesome job dog sitting while we were away. She sent us daily pictures of our dogs to help reassure us they were happy and well loved. Thank you, Nicole!”


18. Issac R.
“Issac has a natural talent connecting with dogs and properly training them. I’ve seen him invest countless hours fostering and lovingly correcting dogs who need a strong and loving leader to settle into their potential. He’s also a great teacher of humans! His genuine curiosity, capacity to explain, patient presence, and acquired knowledge all make learning techniques of being a good dog parent from him easeful and a pleasure. I can’t recommend Issac enough. Four out of four paws 🐾 🐾”


19. Justin A.
“Justin is a compassionate, caring dog lover. I have 2 dogs and he cares for them like they are his babies. He loves to play and take them for walks. He keeps tracks of their vaccinations records to ensure they do not get sick. He will take a good care of your dogs.”


20. George H.
About: I have been around dogs and cats for as long i can remember, I take care of my sisters 3 German Shepards when she's out if town or working, I also watch alot of my friends dogs when they need help letting them out or staying with them if they are going to be gone for a few days. I run my own business so can make my own schedule to meet with my customers schedules as well. Very flexible on my days and times for stopping by your house. Have a fenced in yard at the house if they were to ever come over and play with my sisters dogs (if owner is ok with that) Can let the dogs out inside yoyr fenced in area and sit outside until they come in. Can also do the same if they go on leashed or chain around the yard. Will sit outside until it's time to go back in the house.
