“Terry has been GREAT with JoJo. She always leaves very detailed nots about their time together and JoJo has seemed to really warm up to her quickly! She has been a great caretaker!”
“Sara is amazing to work with! When my dad’s standard poodle was moving in to live with him at an assisted living facility, we needed someone we could trust with a sometimes stubborn pup! It didn’t take Viola long to warm up to Sara! Sara’s updates are great and informative. We look forward to having Sara care for our pups when we leave town for vacation. Thanks so much, Sara!”
“Thomas and Erica were wonderful friends to our pups! They were so understanding of each of our three dogs quirks and were a huge help walking them while we were out of town! Can’t wait to use their help again soon!”
“Hannah was fantastic! We booked her last minute to do a walk once a day for our two dogs while we were gone. She always showed up on time and sent us lots of pictures! She was great about being cautious with them during the hot days as well. We will definitely be working with her again!”
About: I've lived with dogs nearly my whole life, and cats for half of it. I have taken care of said pets for years and been an in-family pet sitter on numerous occasions. My mother frequently cares for other pets through apps like this/through friends, and I assist her with that when needed. At the moment, I care for my mother's pets when she leaves town for any length of time (1 small/medium dog, 1 cat). Otherwise, I'm a free agent. Some of the services listed on the app have the potential to overlap (such as a visit and a walk), I don't consider the price to be totally compounding, just let me know and we can figure out what works best. I'd imagine this is on a situational basis. I'll pet/feed/walk them and am able to follow directions as well as any human, should your pet require specific, or unique, handling. I can usually read pet body language pretty well, but have no specific training in it. If there are any areas of confusion for me, I'll be sure to ask questions to make sure your pet is cared for properly.
“Wonderful!”

About: I was a volunteer with Guiding Eyes for the Blind for many years. I have successfully raised and trained 3 guide dogs and have raised over 100 puppies from the age of a few days to 6 weeks for this organization. I successfully bred my Labrador, Amber and have a an excellent reputation among the families and friends of those families who have one of our dogs. I recently took a course and am now certified in Pet CPR. My husband is a longtime volunteer with OLFD and holds a high ranking position within the department and our daughter is studying to be a Special Education teacher. We have a clean, dog friendly home and a fenced yard. We are kind, trusting, loving, honest people and take pride in treating your pet with great care and unconditional love. I look forward to making more doggy friendships and hope you will consider me for your current and future needs. I am happy to supply references! I do work full time Monday - Friday so my doggy daycare services are limited to the weekends. When I board dogs, I typically get them out in the morning to play for an hour or so and then again at lunchtime. This works for most dogs as they are used to working family members. Our yard is completely fenced in with plenty of room to run. I have crates and extra space to separate the pups if needed. Whatever your routine is with your dog, will be our routine. If they are allowed on the couch, then they will be on the couch. If they are not allowed on the furniture, we will not let them on it.
About: My name is Molly and I am a student who loves spending time with animals. I have experience caring for many cats and dogs. I had a dog that I was the primary caretaker of for several years. She was a rescue and had some health and behavioral problems so I have experience with dogs people would consider difficult. I have also dog-sat for dogs of varying sizes, breeds, and ages and walked many of them. These jobs have ranged in time from several days to under an hour, and the dogs have had different needs and preferences. I have experience cat-sitting also, and have also done that in a variety of circumstances. I have a car and a flexible schedule and look forward to meeting your pet(s)!
