1. Lindsay C.
“Lin was so amazing with my 2 kitties! She wrote the best report cards, played with them and loved on them like I would, and I felt so confident that they were getting great care while I was away!”
2. Morgan M.
“Morgan is very kind and responsive. After each visit she takes time to leave very detailed messages of her visit. She quickly has gotten to know my dog and knows how to understand her body language. I feel very comfortable with her taking care of my dog.”
3. Hannah K.
“Hannah was so sweet! She met with my a day prior to meet me and my cat which made me feel really comfortable. She took great care of my cat and sent adorable daily updates!”
4. Carol N.
“Carol was wonderful!! Fantastic and patient with our kitties and went the extra mile to take care of our home. Would definitely recommend and will book again in the future. Thank you Carol!!”
5. Molissa S.
“Molly was awesome with my pup Leo! She was easy to communicate with, came over on short notice, and sent photos and updates during the visit. I certainly feel better leaving the house when I have her booked! Thank you Molly!”
6. Devin U.
“Devin is awesome … and actually may be a cat whisper. Earl stopped eating his pill pocket/medicine for anyone other than my partner and I, but he gobbled it right up for Devin with no issues! Devin sent many pix with each visit and a note to let us know everything was going smoothly. Also, Devin is super responsive to messages! Highly recommended!”
7. Jennifer S.
“Jennifer is the most reliable dog sitter I ever had. Her flexibility was extremely beneficial for our family to leave our furry families with her when we were out of town. Whoever hires Jennifer would feel will enjoy stress-free time away.”
8. Linnea M.
“Linnea is the real deal! She did drop in visits for our almost two year old pittie Lucy and I could not have asked for a more capable and professional person for the job. An added bonus is that she loves to teach dogs new commands in addition to caring for them and showing them love. Linnea was spectacular and a high recommend!”
9. Khishana S.
“Khishana has cared for a number of pets in my household from a tiny wiener and pug mix to a German shepherd and has done an excellent job at keeping them well fed, excited and happy. She gives a bunch of update pictures throughout the day for when you miss you little baby and by the end of it you’ll question whether your dog likes her more than you she has a magical connection with pets!”
10. Regan M.
“I booked Regan to help me with my new puppy. She was super accommodating to the fact that my puppy hadn’t learned to do walks yet. She tried multiple ways to make her more comfortable and is helping me get her adjusted. I’ve booked Regan for the next month! Love her!”
11. Rachel M.
“Rachel was very communicative and sent us lots of nice pics of our cat on her visits! She helped us out last minute and we couldn’t have been happier having her check on our cat while we were away.”
12. Cortney P.
“Second time booking with Cortney and they are phenomenal!! My cats have started to warm up to Cortney already just after meeting them twice for drop in visits. This helps me know they are happy and comfortable which makes me feel the same! Will absolutely book with Cortney again in the future🖤”
13. Peter V.
“Peter accommodated a last minute drop-in for our pup! He was very communicative and sent us pics of Frankie having the best time 😁”
14. Emily B.
“Emily took out dog for a short walk and fed her during a drop-in visit while we were two hours away at a wedding. She’s always very caring and is happy to see Nutmeg- and our dog is very excited to see her too!”
15. Lauren D.
“Rusty warmed right up to her”
16. Nina S.
“Nina was flexible and great with the doggos. I would happily book with Nina again!”
17. Tessa B.
“Tessa has a very big heart and a very soft spot in it for dogs and cats. She has been an incredibly loving and caring pet parent, a wonderful sister to our family's beagle and a terrific friend who often watches pets belonging to her friends and colleagues. Any dog would consider themselves lucky to be in her care.”
18. Becca M.
“Becca is amazing. Roxie struggles with newer people and she just loves Becca. I can travel in peace knowing they are cared for.”
19. Michelle G.
“Love doing business with Michelle. She builds good relationships with any animal she meets. Never had a problem. She would even come over last minute on nights I would get held up in work later than expected to give my dog some more water and food.”
20. Hannah J.
About: I have had many years of calming my crazy orange cat and taking care of his needs. I am a big animal lover and have compassion for all. When I was younger, I watched over my neighbor's 4 cats and 4-5 fosters cats. Something I am quite proud of is when I enlisted my parent's help to get a cat off the streets and into a loving home. His name was Oscar and was unfortunately left behind my previous neighbors. While I love my cat, there has always been a part of me interested in having a dog. The opportunity to help walk your dogs will give you all a break, your dogs a fun time, and me some exercise! This summer, I am home from college with a fairly open schedule. I am volunteering for an hour on Monday/Wednesday/Thursday in the mornings. After that, I will likely be available for most of the afternoon and potentially some early mornings! I plan to primarily offer dog-walking services. My cat is very territorial so I will not be bringing any dogs into my home for both animals' safety. On walks, I will monitor the dogs' behavior and steer them clear of any obstacles or animals that might frighten them.
