1. Emily K.

“Emily did a great job taking care of Ivy on our first overnight trip since we got Ivy. Everything seemed to go smoothly, and Ivy seemed sad to see Emily leave. We have already booked her for our next trip away!!! Thanks, Emily!”


2. David B.

“David is fantastic! Our dogs really love David and he was awesome with sending us a lot of updates with pictures. We're pretty obsessed with our dogs, despite their little quirks which makes going away for us pretty difficult and David was wonderful with putting our minds at ease while we were away. He was very proactive with setting up a time to come meet us and our pups and I knew from his kind demeanor that he would be great. He asked us a lot of great questions that I didn't even think about, so I knew he was careful with the details of our dogs. We will definitely book with David again and I highly recommend him!”


3. Brittany S.

“Brittany was well loved by our pups and Brittany loved our pups while we were gone. We were especially grateful when our dogs injury re-emerged while we were gone she picked up medicine and administered it until we returned home.”

7. Trisa R.
“Trisa always watches my two dogs when I go out of town. I have a 4 year old English Bulldog and a 6 year old Pomeranian. I know they can be a handful at times, but she has proven time and time again that she is one of their favorite people. When she comes to watch them it's like we are not even gone. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our babies!”

11. Caroline M.
About: I am a huge animal lover and work with animals every week! I am a foster-dog mom, specializing in dogs with anxiety/fear and puppies. I volunteer at the local animal shelter where I care for shelter dogs, as well as work with people on adoptions! I have 3 pets of my own: 1 dog and 2 cats! I work part-time as a speech-language pathologist. I am passionate about working with/caring for animals and am looking for more ways to incorporate that into my daily life :) I will meet your pet wherever they are at. If they need high energy, I can bring that. If they prefer to be left alone, I can provide minimal contact. I will do whatever I can to make your pet comfortable.

About: I’ve raised three dogs as well as taken care of countless others. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and medically complex pets. I absolutely love dogs and making them happy, when you get back your dog is gonna start asking for me!! I am 19 and home from college for the summer, I need a way to make money over the summer but after working full time all through high school i’m hoping I could make some money hanging out with your pets instead!! my schedule is pretty much open! I will make sure your pets have everything they need and feel loved and safe while you are away, each dog needs different things and I am happy to cater to your baby and their needs!!


13. Gabriel B.
“Gabriel has always been great with pets! He used to dog sit for me when I was on vacation often and I can’t say enough about how helpful he was with our dog and I can’t recommend him enough!!! He always goes above and beyond and helps around the house as well.”


14. Nicole W.
“Not only have I known Nicole for 10+ years, but she’s also taken care of our outdoor cats whenever we’ve gone on vacation. Throughout the years we’ve had cats with various personalities, some being more skittish than others, but they always seemed to trust Nicole and would come when she called. Nicole has always loved animals and will take the time to go above what’s required. She recognizes that besides food, water, and a clean litter box, pets also need love and attention, especially when an owner leaves and the pet becomes distressed. Nicole is prompt, organized, and dependable, and for that, I would absolutely recommend her as a pet caregiver to anyone!”


15. Mia S.
About: I grew up with dogs in the house with all kinds of emotions and conditions. Every dog deserves love and care just as we do! I know what it’s like having to leave my dog for a trip and being worried about them. I will aid in taking those worries away!!🐶 I’m in school on weekdays until 3pm. I can do overnights or just walks whenever is needed and check in on your pets whenever as well! Good communication between us both will let my flexibility shine! I have lived in houses with and without fences so I know how to keep your pet safe within both!! If you don’t have a leash, I can bring one if needed. Communication is key!


16. Jaden N.
About: I have taken care of all sort of animals my whole life. I know how to deal with their temperaments and stress. I’ve never lived without having dogs and I am always the type of person to take a dog in that I find from the street. I have dealt with strays so I don’t just have experience with well trained dogs. I have also watched over peoples dogs for a while and I started walking dogs since I was 9. My grandma had a community that she lived at and I loved dogs so much that I would walk them for free. My passion for dogs will never go away. I currently work front desk at a hotel. I work Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. I am able to walk dogs those days but only before 1 pm. Thursdays and Fridays I am totally free. And depending on the location, I can also do Saturdays. I currently have 2 dogs and they get walked once a day during the night. I also feed them a little differently than usual. I include green beens into their food as well as other healthy powdered ingredient so they are getting the right nutrition. I am fine with watching dogs at the clients home or mine. The only problem with my home is that I already have 2 dogs of my own. So the dog would have to get along with other medium sized mutts. When I have taken care of pets in another persons home, I like having a specific list so I know what’s best for the dog. I’m able to abide by any rules and I don’t mind if the dog needs extra care. I am up for it.


17. Kayla C.
“Kayla will be a great pet caregiver because of her background of owning/taking care of pets her entire life and her many pet sitting experiences that have helped her become an expert.”


18. Charlotte R.
About: I am very used to being around dogs. All of my family members have dogs and I often walk them everyday. I also used to walk dogs for my neighbors I currently sometimes work a 10-6 on weekdays. Sometimes I’m free during that time, it depends. I am for sure free in the evenings and all day on the weekends I often walk my dog everyday and we have a fenced in yard so i’ll let her run around there for a bit. I try and make sure she gets out atleast once every 2 hours


19. Sherrie F.
“Sherrie is the best when it comes to dogs. She has one of her own. When she first got her dog from the shelter, the dog was very adamant of learning anything. With her dedication and love for animals, she was able to train her dog. Now, that dog is one of the sweetest. We have two dogs, our corgi babies. She watched our dogs multiple times. She’s our go to dogs-sitter (and babies-sitter at the same time) when my husband and I go for a date or out of town. Every time she comes over, our dogs wag their tails and very happy to see her. We are comfortable of her watching our kiddos (paw babies and hoomans) anytime if need to. Sherrie is extremely knowledgeable and is our go to person if we have any questions or need an opinion about anything pertaining to dogs. She provides such a wonderful, thoughtful, and caring service...you can't get that just anywhere. Our family is blessed to have her in our lives.”


20. Lindsey D.
“Lindsey is a reliable and loving caretaker. I have seen how she cares for her own animals and other people's animals, including cats and dogs. Would strongly recommend.”
