1. Michael D.
“Mike has been wonderful in taking care of Stanley for us. He continues to exceed expectations with time spent and helping release some of his energy. He has also been extremely flexible and willing to help out whenever we ask. We are very grateful for all his help in taking care of our precious pooch.”
2. Zach A.
“Zach has been walking my 10 month old puppy for me almost every day twice a day. He’s always on time and communicates well when he’s on his way. He always sends me a picture of her that he takes during the walk. I highly recommend Zach. I hired him again for a second week as I have a sprained ankle. My puppy really likes him!”

“Autumn was absolutely AMAZING. She has a natural connection with my dogs and went above and beyond to get my stubborn dog Charlie to go on a walk with his sister Bella”

“We’ve utilized Rish for both training and dog walking in our neighborhood. Great having someone we can trust, who handles our big, hyper, naughty boy so well. Our Z loves her!”
8. Justin A.
“This guy is phenomenal and I can't recommend him enough. A gentleman and a scholar. Justin has done an amazing job with my dad's dog. Dad is aging and recently injured his back, so Buddy hasn't gotten the training or exercise he needs. Within 3 walks, Buddy, who is petrified of everything, had warmed up to him. Justin went the extra mile, teaching Buddy how to leash walk properly and starting him on commands. The exercise for buddy has given my dad a chance to start actually resting his back and recover. Justin has been patient with Dad and incredibly accommodating with our situation of me being far away while doing this and helping us meet Buddy's goals. I'll definitely book his services again. He's given me great feedback on Buddy's progress, seems to genuinely care about him and empathize with us, and has even given me reassurance while I'm frantically try to care for my dad from a distance. Just a side note that we are trying to get dad into an assisted living community and prepare Buddy to go with him because my dad is so lonely otherwise. (It's good for Buddy too, who adores dad and will mellow out as he matures.) Justin's work has given me the hope that we can reach that goal.”
9. Tyler B.
“Tyler is the absolute best when it comes to caring for animals. While watching my dog she has gone the extra mile numerous times to trim his nails, clean his ears, and teach him new tricks! Her years of experience as an emergency veterinary nurse puts me even more at ease knowing that animals in her care are her number 1 priority!”
10. Amanda Q.
About: I have over 30 years of experience with pets of all kinds from chickens to rabbits to dog and cats and from babies to senior pets. Not only have I had my own pets throughout my life but also have taken care of many family and friends as well. I love every pet like my own! I work remotely 100% of the week. It gives me flexibility for pet care as well as loads of time for attention, play and walks.. I am available for drop ins only at this time. But my flexible schedule allows for plenty of time for loads of attention, play, walks, and potty breaks. I will provide exactly the amount of love and care your pets are used to…and then some!
11. Bronte K.
“Bronte has always taken very good care of our animals when she has watched them. Between dogs and cats, Bronte has always been professional and loving towards our pets”
12. Isabella B.
About: I’ve been passionate about caring for animals my entire life. Growing up with dogs and cats of all sizes—from tiny Shih Tzus to massive Mastiffs—has given me firsthand experience in understanding and meeting their unique needs. Since my teens, I’ve volunteered at a kennel and the Humane Society, deepening my skills and love for working with pets. As a reliable and attentive pet sitter, I’ll treat your furry family members as if they were my own. Whether they need cuddles, exercise, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to provide the care and attention they deserve. Let me know how I can help give you peace of mind while you’re away! I can accommodate appointments for any time of day as I work part-time locally and go to school online. I will try my best to meet any last minute needs as well! In my client’s home, I focus on providing attentive, personalized care. I ensure pets stay on their feeding schedules, can administer oral medications responsibly, and adapt to their unique needs—whether that means long walks, playtime, or plenty of cuddles. My goal is to make them feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for.
13. Michelle S.
“She did amazing with our dog, this was the first time he was left home overnight without someone he knows coming over to walk him. He was absolutely terrified when she came in but she was calm and moved slowly to get his trust and stayed almost an hour between the 30 minute walk and the almost 30 minutes of getting him to trust her. 10/10 would hire again.”
14. kenzie m.
“Kenzie is an amazing human who has a special love for animals! I would trust her with any of my pets. Whenever Griffin sees her he gets so excited! Highly recommend her services.”
15. Heather B.
“Heather has owned and loved many dogs and cats over the years. She took amazing care of our dogs their entire life. I would highly recommend her!”
16. Jen C.
About: I have personally had a cat or dog or both my whole life. I've cared for others pets while away. I know pets are our family. While difficult to have to leave them, it is so important to feel comfortable knowing they are being loved on when away! And that is hard to find! My days and nights are flexible. I work in real estate. I travel throughout the area on any given day. I have a 12 & 6 year old that occasionally can accompany me to give out some extra pet love! <3 I am flexible. I do not prefer to house a pet in my home for overnight as I have a kitty and small dog too. But short periods of time are ok. And I am available for visits to your home.
17. Carl G.
“Carl is a dog person. He clearly loves his two German Shepherds. He was calm and kind to my dog. He walked my dog on the schedule we had agreed to prior to my vacation. I would highly recommend Carl to anyone.”
18. Ryan H.
About: I've raised and taken care of dogs since I was 11, I've had two labs and currently have a 9 yr old lab who loves other dogs. I've potty trained, crate trained, and taught commands over the years and have experience in all levels of care of all ages. I work part time from home and have the availability during the week. Im able to take them for walks and be attentive to their needs. Every pet is unique so understanding their temperament and attitude is important. I've always used positive reinforcement in my training and care for pets. I take care of my family and friends pets when they're out of town and ensure they are fed when needed and taken care of.
19. W J.
About: In addition to dogs and cats, I also have experience with rabbits and chinchillas. I'm used to multiple pet homes and can care for different kinds of pets. I spend most of the day with the pets unless I have to go somewhere else. I don't leave pets alone for more than 8 hours. I don't board pets in my own home but I respect their routines in their own home and take them for walks sometimes in the neighborhood.
20. Dominique R.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am responsible, understanding that all dogs are different and have different personalities and I’m very clean. I’m available after 2pm for dog sitting, I am also friendly and have transportation. I also can help you with house visits to feed them. I care for pets by being attentive to their needs and my surroundings and their behaviors. They have no problem with me and getting comfortable
