“Talitha was amazing! She was friendly, trustworthy, reliable and loving to our dog, even when our dog caused some trouble by chewing things up. She was always in communication and had a great sense of humor. She is so great with animals. I cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be using her again.”
“Dana was great with my dog Indy! He is a bit nervous and needs some extra love. She definently gave that to him! She sent several pictures and I felt at ease being away the whole day knowing he got some love.”
“Hayley was wonderful! She was flexible with scheduling a meet and greet and was super attentive when caring for Pierogi. Hayley was extremely communicative, provided a thorough discussion of how things went during her visit, and sent so many photos from her drop in visit. We could not be happier with the care she provided for our dog!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I never had a pet of my own until I met my former partner and he had a deaf Australian Shepard and I fell in love with her. A year after that we rescued a mix and named him Archer and he is the most loyal, loving dog I’ve ever met. I’ve also helped take care of my sisters mini poodle on and off for about 3 years so have experience with big and small dogs as well as deaf dogs. I work full time currently Monday through Friday but pet care would be something I can do in the evenings and weekends, while also spending time with my own dog. I have plenty of paths and places to walk dogs near my home and my complex has a dog park to play and use the bathroom
“Kristen was great! She gave me regular updates and took pictures of my cats so I knew how they were doing. It was such a relief to know that they were well taken care of and in good hands while I was away. Even my shy cat warmed up to her!”
“Sophie treated Rupert to excellent Rover quality service. Rupert was even so excited everyday to ensure he showed his prized possession to her everyday. The service was super understanding of military timing and requirements … hands down use Sophie time and time again.”
“Logan did an exceptional job taking care of our cat! Typically our cat will hide when we are gone and never be seen by the caregiver, but Logan took the time to earn her trust and she loved him. He sent pictures everyday so we could see how well she was doing. Logan also took care of our cat’s medical needs so we came home to a healthy, happy cat! He also took care of our many bird feeders and birdbath. Definitely the best pet caregiver we have ever had!! Thanks, Logan!”
“Gabriella checks on my 3-month-old miniature Australian Shepherd puppy while I’m at work. She does a great job updating me and is always on time. she has very flexible and last-minute availability which I appreciate.”
About: Animals are my happy place. I previously worked at a doggy daycare with breeds of all snouts and sizes. There is no dog that doesn’t deserve our love and patience. I have experience in boarding, walking, training, administering meds, and keeping dogs busy and entertained. Your pup will be treated like family and your mind will be put at ease. I am a full time caregiver, so I have a flexible schedule and can work with whatever is best for you and your furry friend. I am trained in boarding and in helping keep a pup busy until bedtime so they are fully stimulated and as happy as can be.
About: I have 3 years dog walking experience. I am the person my friends and family calls when they go out of town or on vacation to take care of their pets, or I watch them from my home. I will be starting my dog training certification in the fall. I am very caring, organized, and hard working. I am a stay at home mom, my days are free and especially when school starts up again I have full days open. Not having a regular 9-5 gives me the flexibility to do this. I treat every pet I walk or watch as they are my own. I believe that our pets are just another family member with a lot more hair. I make sure everything is done as best it can be and that the pet is happy and healthy.

I cant wait to work with animals and love it every day make sure each pet goes outside and gets there paws and bodies moving so they don't get stiff. feed them according to a schedule/ routine. pills will be giving according to there owners care guide. bring them to the vets or emergency vets if giving permission to do so. let the pet come to me and let them get to know my sent before i rush into to pets. talk with the owners to know where there items are and what is expected of me while they are in my care. lots of love and cuddles are important along with rewards and letting the pet have there space to relax.
“Keith was great. He was able to take great care of our dog and cat. We set up a time so he could meet the animals and made sure he understood the needs of the animals. He was flexible with the schedule and made our vacation even better since we knew our pets were in good hands.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young age. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and play with pets. I always come with a treat handy. I'm currently a teacher, with summer here I will be free most days to take care of your pet and spend some extra time with them. I have two friendly dogs, and one lovable cat all under the age of 5. Even if you have a fenced in yard, I will still go outside with your pet and play with them while they do their business. If you do not have a fenced in yard, I will walk you pet around the yard on a leash. Safety is my ultimate goal. Cleaning litter boxes and making sure food is refilled will always be done.
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. I’ve spent time providing quality animal care for dogs and cats for multiple clients over the years. I’m currently working full-time. I am looking to fulfill a passion of mine, by being with animals more often. I’m looking forward to becoming more active. I have a half acre of land for dogs to roam on. I live on a private drive which makes walks easy and safe, as traffic is limited. I have plenty of space for a crate, if needed.

“Sam is one of the biggest animal lovers I know. As a vegan Sam sees every animal as an individual being to be loved and treated with respect. I haven’t met a dog that doesn’t love Sam and I have even seen Sam teach cats to do tricks like sit, spin, give paw, and speak. Which I think says a lot about Sam’s patience and ability to work with animals. You won’t be disappointed with Sam!”

Grace E.
“Grace loves animals and has had the responsibility of taking care of a family dog for many years. She is attentive to the dog’s needs and schedule. She loves to take her dog to the dog park to interact with other dogs. Grace is the person responsible for bathing her dog-which is not an easy task for dog that hates his bath! She is calm and would be able to learn how to best help a dog fit into a new situation-a skill that would be key when sitting or boarding a dog.”
Katrina T.Star Sitter
“Katrina T is a great person to take care of anyones' dogs or cats. Kat has been sitting with animals for at least ten years. She has house sat dogs and cats for friends (at one time she house sat for two months while the couple was in Florida). Kat is prompt, keeps records of what the dog (s) was doing during the day or on the walk, and in the case of the couple who went to Florida she made sure the house and restored it back to a pristine condition. Katrina provides safe and loving care to all animals, including guinea pigs, and fish. Without a doubt I would recommend her to anyone.”
