Kye has been walking my dog two days a week for the past two weeks. It is very noticeable that he loves dogs. My pit bull is a very energetic and playful pup, and Kye manages her very well. He has been adaptable each time, even when we've forgotten to leave treats and dog bags. One day, Mulan had an accident inside the house, and Kye cleaned it up without any hesitation. I have no doubt that he will take great care of Mulan if we need him to. I wholeheartedly recommend Kye!

Stephanie has been so great with my dog Maya. After starting a new job and moving to a new city, I didn’t have any support to help with my dog. Stephanie has been so helpful with all these changes. Maya can be a bit nervous around new people but she warmed up to Stephanie really fast and gets so excited to see her! Stephanie is so great- she is a very reliable person, trustworthy, a great communicator and great with dogs. I’m so happy I found her and that Maya really enjoys her company!

Ann is an excellent pet caretaker. Between July 1st and July 4th, I dropped off my 2-yr old labradoodle dog with her. During the stay, she feed my dog twice a day as requested. She took her on long casual walks at least once a day and she sent me a few pictures of my dog while they were out on the walks -- my dog was clearly very happy and content. She was very attentive to my dog. My dog was clean and looked quite happy when I arrived to pick her up. I highly value and recommend Ann's pet caregiving services.

We just moved and we’re in need of a last minute dog sitter. Megan was super responsive and made everything so easy for us. She asked all of the right questions and made sure that she knew the info she needed to watch our dog as well as our house. She kept us updated the whole time we were gone which made us feel even more relax while away. Upon coming home, we could tell our pup had a good time with Megan and our house was in the same condition that we left it. We are thrilled to have found Megan! Thank you for taking care of our pup!

Jennifer was lovely, attentive, and a great communicator. We just adopted our dog and he has little bursts of aggression and Jennifer was kind enough to come by before their first walk to test the waters. Everything turned out great and Jennifer sent updates and pictures throughout his walks. We will definitely work with her again.

Esteban quickly became my puppy's very best friend (I hope my kids don't see this). My puppy returns from walks and passes out for hours. Esteban is reliable and my puppy is always excited to go on their walks. He also communicates well and gives great updates on any activity from the walk.

Heather has pet sat for us and many friends. She reinforces good canine habits and training and pays a lot of attention to your pet. She planned her schedule to maximize time spent with our dog and did a lot of hiking with our active labrador. She even made him special pup treats. I would have full confidence in trusting Heather with the care of a beloved pet.

About: I am a patient human who’s taken dog behavior classes in the past. I understand every dog is unique and special in their own way. I’m currently working part time so my mornings/evenings are open to exercise ur fur baby. The lake is sacred. All the smells are here 🐶 Your rules are my rules. Dogs are family, and they need constant care and attention. I will have daily updates complete with summary & photo.

About: I had a full grown cat in my crib as a baby, my parent's told me I would feed it my bottle. I moved to SC to live with my grandmother when I was young. She was a nurse and spent a lot of time helping the local animal shelter. At most, 20 kittens or puppies would be at her house. Usually the animals were malnourished or sick, she would try to get them healthy enough to adopt. That's probably why I love cats and dogs as much as I do. I've adopted 2 dogs, 1 cat from the humane society as an adult. The first dog I adopted was a feral puppy, I adopted him bc I wanted to see why my grandmother never would allow feral animals in her home. I had him for 14 wonderful years but it did take a lot of training and patience. The last dog I owned was a 1 year old pit from a kill shelter. I was able to train this dog not to bite and protect it's owner without biting. I love pets, I know more than your regular person on what types of food/treats to give a dog. For example, if your dog eats a couple pecans, that's bad news. I also know people can be very particular of what they want their animals eating, even if it's a treat. I'd never give someone else's pet a treat without their consent. My job revolves around fixing coffee machines and that business isn't as busy as it used to be prior to the pandemic. I have plenty of free time and I understand how important a routine is in young dogs/cats and I'm willing to help out in any way I possibly can. Currently my roommate has a dog that isn't friendly around other dogs, it's a 9 year old Shiba, and I've learned those breeds are some of the most stubborn dogs. I feed this dog, wash her, and trim du claws and nails. When my roommate is out of town, I let the dog sleep in my bed even though I can't stand how much she sheds. I have a clean background, I've never been in trouble for stealing bc my parents brought me up not to do that. Prior to moving out to CA to work on coffee machines, I spent 17 year's working for Wells Fargo Home Mortgage department. I didn't love my job which is why I'm out here now. My roommate I've known since high school, he'll confirm you won't have to worry when you're out of town.

Kaum takes great care of our dog Baloo! Baloo enjoys his daily walks when his parents are at work all day. It’s nice to have a friend and get some exercise—and we trust Kaum to care for Baloo as if he was his own! Thanks for making our transition back to work (in-person) so smooth!

Oh man- Jason is so cool! I live in the Bay but travel to LA for work often and always leave my dog Jamie with Jason if available while I'm away. He sends me pics and I often feel like Jamie is happier with him and Olive than with me! Jamie is an older dog who needs to take prescription pills in the morning and evenings and Jason has always been good with that. It's nice to know my baby is in good hands while I'm away! TY Jason!
