2. Daniel C.

“Dan is the dog whisperer we were hoping for!! He was prompt and very flexible! He was so great with pepper and we’re thrilled to have found such a sweet new friend for her!! Thanks Dan!!”


3. Sky C.

“Smaller dog was being defensive first time meeting her (Cozy is cautious around new people). Sky was extremely patient with her and did a great job working with her. By the end of the walk, Cozy was bringing her toys to play with. Great job overall.”


4. Heather C.

“I am a repeat customer of Heather’s and she’s great! I have an elderly dog that she walks twice weekly for me, and Heather is super attentive, responsive, and reliable. She gives detailed updates, and Holyfield loves her! I have only had great experiences with Heather, 10/10 would recommend”


5. Lukas R.

“He was really great keeping us in the loop. He was great handling a stubborn dog who didn’t want to come back inside the house!”


6. Melody H.
“Melody has dog walked and dog sit for me, the dogs love her and she is very kind to them, any time the dogs see her they get so excited, you can tell how well she takes care of them on how their excitement is when they see her”


7. Maggie R.

“Maggie's walked my pit bull Edna several times. She's easy to communicate with and Edna's well cared for. I would definitely recommend her!”


8. paige a.
“Paige has cared for my cat and dog on many occasions when we were neighbors. My pets love her and are very excited to spend time with her. She always found the ticks I missed on my cat, and practiced tricks with my dog, too!”


9. Elysse W.

“Having lived and dog sitted for friends her whole life I have confidence in saying that Elysse is responsible and cares very much for dogs.”


10. Keeley F.
“Keeley is the best! My dog was immediately comfortable around her. Keeley took such great care of her, taking her on several walks throughout the day. Keeley's knowledge and experience with dogs was very reassuring. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a great dog sitter with peace of mind.”


11. Victoria R.
“Victoria is great with animals, she goes out of her way to get them what they need. She loves walking and has tons of energy. She is just so outgoing and loves being around pets. I have trusted her to walk my dog a few times and a lot of people can't handle him, he's 80 pounds, deaf and can pull to the point he'll leave bruises on your arms. I don't trust many people to walk him, but I trust her because she always puts my dog first.”


12. Leann S.
“Leann has a deep love of animals that she just can't keep in. She has experience caring for large dogs in the form of her sisters two pit bulls and she has owned dogs herself. She grew up taking care of her family's two chihuahuas. It seems to me that Leann has a way with animals and wants to take care of them. Sometimes in her free time she will take dogs from annearby shelter on walks to show love to dogs that do not yet have a home. I heartily recommend her.”


13. Michaela M.

“Michaela is amazing!! Had a difficult time finding someone to let my dog out while I was at work and Michaela responded quickly and was able to stop by and meet me and my dog. I have a rescue cattle dog who can be nervous around new people and has refused to go out with pet sitters and friends in the past. After only a few visits my dog is already warming up to her, so relieved to have someone who is patient and gentle enough to take the time to get to know her. She always lets me know when she’s there, how it went, and sends a picture of my dog which I love. Highly recommend.”


14. Michelle V.
“Michelle is an amazing person and does amazing at taking care of pets of any kind. My cats absolutely love her. She is one of the only people who can cut their nails. I would recommend her to anyone that needs their pets taken care of.”


15. Kiersten S.

“Kiersten does an amazing job with Tex. I would happily recommend her to anyone in need of pet care.”


16. Hannah L.

“Hannah is reliable, prompt and an excellent dog person.Thank you.”


17. Olivia B.
About: I have grown up with dogs and when adopting our most recent pup, Jax, I quickly realized he was a pup that required more than just a couple walks a day, so we got into running together daily. I offer dog running or walking and look forward to meeting your fur babe(s)! I am currently available Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays for dog walks, runs and drop-in visits and pet sitting Saturday thru Monday. I currently have limited availability Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays but would be happy to discuss scheduling with you! I am very reliable and I will provide water and treats as needed. I will show up regardless of snow or inclement weather. We can customize walks or runs based on your preference of on vs off leash.


18. Shona M.
“Shona has been a responsible and loving human for both of my dogs. She has taken care of them for the past few years for day care and overnight care. They feel loved when they are with her, and I know that they are in good hands whenever she is caring for them. I know that they love her because they always greet her with enthusiasm and lots of dog kisses when they greet her at the door.”


19. Anna M.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs for years now and I have two dogs of my own, one being a senior. I love getting to know a dog and having a great time taking care of them. i have two dogs, a ferret and a bunny so i’m always taking care of pets and staying on top of things to make sure they are healthy and safe I care for pets with the same love i have for my own. I have a pool and a fenced in yard for my dogs to play and enjoy the outdoors safely, I take them on walks when I have time and play with them every day and night.


20. Bryana S.
“Bryana has spent a lot of time with my dog, Winnie. Winnie is a 60-pound shepherd mix, and is a very anxious girl which results in a lot of leash reactivity. Bryana has always been very loving and compassionate towards Winnie despite her behavioral issues, and is very patient and calm with her. Winnie loves Bryana deeply and I would recommend Bryana to anyone looking for a loving caregiver for their pet.”
