“I have a timid chihuahua that doesn’t love new people. Jamie was great in being patient with the pup and let her approach Jamie at her own pace. Patience is certainly key with some of these timid breeds, she did great.”

7. Jean M.
About: I have over 30 years experience as an owner of both cats, dogs, and the occasional fish. I have trained my own pets in obedience and agility. I can be flexible to the individual needs of your pet. I work from home and have plenty of time to take care of your animals needs. Weekends can be spent swimming in our lake, walks and dog park. Each animal has a unique personality. Through some simple reward based training I will work to develop a trusting relationship with your pet. Safety is priority #1 along with some fun!

18. Wendy C.
About: I've owned dogs all my life. Being around dogs makes me happier than almost anything else. They deserve love, because they seem to live for it and for pleasing you. I've known so many dogs with so many different personalities and it's a joy to get to know their individual characteristics. For a long time I've said that if I could make a living out of loving on dogs I'd be the happiest person on earth. I don't have specialized training in veterinary care or even discipline, but I am more than capable and very comfortable with daily care of your dog while you're away. I work remotely and have flexibility to fit work around pet care. I have 2 dogs of my own and they love having friends over to play. I’m also able to take care of your pets at your home while my husband looks after ours. At my home, there’s a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for pups to run around and play. I live in a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks for taking walks. For drop in care in your home, I will hang out with your pets to give them plenty of time to be out and less time alone.


19. Julia L.
“Julia is amazing - I hope she is the last pet sitter we ever need! We were gone for over a week and Julia stayed in our home with our 2 dogs and 2 cats. We got pictures and updates daily and we were completely at ease that the pets were well cared for. She even brought her own dog over (after asking, of course) to play with ours and they all had the best time together. She is the sweetest, kindest, most attentive pet sitter and she took great care of our home as well. We will continue to book Julia to care for our pets as long as we possibly can!”

“Jonathan was a great sitter for our dogs! Great communication and very kind to them. He followed directions very well and we would definitely use him again.”
