3. Jolene W.
“My wife and I weren't expecting much after our last sitter abandoned us, but Jolene came in and really raised the bar high. She doesn't just do the minimum like other dog sitters. She's familiar with grooming and training and is always ready for whatever we ask of her. We wouldn't really consider our dog a handful (Frompy is a little pug who likes to take naps), but Jolene really brought out our dogs curious and playful side and now he's always eager to see who's at the door.”

6. Natasha Q.
“Natasha has always done an incredible job when caring for my German Shepherd. He wasn’t the easiest to care for, yet she still took on the task and did a fantastic job with him. They developed a special bond with each other, and knowing that he was in great hands put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Natasha for taking care of your pup, as she has the experience, trustworthiness, and shows compassion and care towards your pet.”
7. Patrick S.
“Patrick has watched my two cats on numerous occasions and always does a great job. He’s an affectionate, attentive, and engaged sitter who definitely brings the energy! He always incorporates lots of playtime when he takes care of my boys. He is also a great communicator and provides lots of updates when I’m out of town. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for someone responsible yet fun.”

“Jamie is a first-class companion to our 5-month old pup, Rosie. We were nervous about using a sitter for the first time, but Jamie’s calm, kind demeanor put us at ease right away when he came to meet Rosie days before the walk. Day of, Jamie sent us the sweetest updates with photos to assure us that she was not only well-cared for, but having fun too. Thank you Jamie - we can’t wait to book you another visit with Rosie soon!”
10. Ryan G.
About: Hello! I grew up with large dogs and upon moving out from my home have had dogs, fish, and cats ever since. I have cared for large dogs, small dogs, and cats for over 20 years. I currently have three incredibly friendly and easy going dogs, including a remarkable Labrador retriever pup. I am currently retiring from a career in federal law enforcement. I am available most days and nights for your pets care. I understand the importance of pet diets, exercise, and socialization and make it a priority. My home is my pets home. We have a large 1.5 acre invisible fenced in yard surrounded by woods and a long front yard away from the road. The other dogs tend to stick together and my lab puppy learned the yard by just following around our German shorthaired pointer and older mastiff. Any other questions just ask!
