Reno is the perfect dog sitter! I was a little apprehensive about leaving Tucker alone his first time, for an overnight trip, but Reno came out to meet us beforehand. He and Tucker really hit it off. Reno is incredibly dependable, punctual and responsive. I highly recommend Reno and will call on him again if Tucker and I cant travel together. Thank you Reno.

Ellen was fantastic with Clover. She came to do a “Meet and Greet” and then we walked Clover to the park. Clover immediately took to Ellen, and I would not hesitate to have her watch Clover again. I would highly recommend!

Lauren is a wonderful sitter! She was communicative, sent lots of photos, and helped with my pup's medicine and injured leg while I was away. It was so nice to know she was taking care of him! I'd definitely use Lauren again.

Kiirsten D. was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! She went above and beyond in caring for my puppy, showing incredible patience and attentiveness. My pup had several accidents in the house, and Kiirsten handled each one without hesitation, keeping everything clean and comfortable. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she watches, treating them with kindness and love. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter!

About: I have a lot of experience and passion for taking care of animals. What makes me special as a sitter is my deep understanding and strong connection with animals, which I've developed through many years of hands-on work. I have some special skills too, such as training puppies and providing care for older animals. I love teaching puppies how to behave well and do new tricks. When it comes to older animals, I know how to make sure they are comfortable and happy during their golden years. I'm dedicated, knowledgeable, and I genuinely care about animals, always striving to give them the best care and create a nurturing environment for them to thrive in. I work through out the week part-time. But always available to make time for pups. On my free time I'm normally at home or in the neighborhood walking at near by parks. I think animals deserve the same respect as humans. So giving the dogs attention and making sure I keep a close eye on body language so that I can give the dog the best care possible. Also making sure that the owner's request are being followed as dogs are part of peoples family.

About: Hi! I’m a 26-year-old event coordinator who absolutely loves dogs and staying active. I grew up with dogs and have always been surrounded by furry friends. During the summer of COVID, I helped train my aunt’s German Shepherd puppy, and it quickly became one of my favorite experiences. Walking is my passion — fun fact: last year I challenged myself and walked 50,000 steps in one day! I would love to put that energy to good use with your dog, whether it’s a short stroll, a long adventure, playtime breaks, or just letting them out for bathroom breaks. I’m also happy to stay at your residence if needed. I’m here to help in any way I can and would be honored to care for your pup with love, enthusiasm, and reliability!

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with about three years of experience watching cats and dogs for family, friends, and neighbors. As a cat owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. My own cat is truly my baby, so I treat every animal I watch with the same love, patience, and attention. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just keeping your pet company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. 🐶🐱 I am a teacher so I get done work very early and I have lots of holidays, breaks, and summers off to really focus on pet sitting. When caring for pets, I always try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I follow all feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes or pick up after dogs, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I also send updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.

Daniel was an absolute GEM! He was responsive, caring, and went above and beyond to take care of my blue heeler, Winter and siamese cat, Rocky for a whole week while i was on vacation. You can tell he really loves hanging out with the fur babies and treats them how he would treat his own. Definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a walker / sitter / caregiver.
