1. Sara M.
“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!”

4. Anna F.
“When Bruno saw Anna, he instantly gravitated towards her! He is not comfortable with strangers so it meant a lot that he loved her right away. She sent awesome pictures and I can tell that she truly is passionate about walking dogs. Lucky to have her to continue walking Bruno.”

7. Yvonne R.
“Yvonne took the time to try and get my dog Jazmyn to like her, which is really important and hard to do with her. My dog will pee when she’s scared, and Yvonne cleaned it immediately and tried to not intimidate her! She really cares about making sure the dogs she watches like her, and don’t feel scared!”

9. Kaitlyn C.
“Kait watched my dog, Elmo, for a few days while I was out of town, and she was the only person I trusted to care for him well. She’s the most loving, kind-hearted person I know, and she would save all of the animals if she had the means. She’d be a perfect fit for Rover.”
10. Shannon C.
“Shannon is a dog person to the core. She enjoys raising them, nurturing them and loving them. She has taken my dog in many times and he is well cared for and loved. Shannon is very experienced with dogs, from training litters of Guiding Eyes dogs to nurturing a stray dog and her liter through adoptions. She is very trustable and will make everyone’s pet feel like one of her own.”
11. Tara S.
“Every time Tara takes care of our dog we are completely confident she is well cared for and having a great time. Tara always keeps us updated and even works with her on leash training during walks. Highly recommend Tara - your pets will love her and the feeling will be mutual.”
12. Binti D.
“Binti has known and loved every pet I’ve ever owned, both cats and dogs. (And one duck) I’m pretty sure my pets liked her more than me. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Animals just seem to be drawn to her and visa versa. She’s a trustworthy gem.”
13. Mary Jo M.
“Mary Jo is an excellent pet sitter!! She took care of my dog and 2 cats for a week, coming to my house 2x per day. Mary Jo is reliable, conscientious and kind. She also stayed in contact which I really appreciated. Next vacation I'm definitely booking Mary Jo again and highly recommend her!!”

“Great Walker!”
16. Alexandra J.
“I was so grateful to find Allie and can’t wait to use her in the future. I don’t have animals but my parents and in laws do who we watch often. It was so nice to have peace of mind while I’m at work that they were taken care of. Allie came over to do a meet and greet before hand and the dogs immediately felt comfortable and loved her. She is responsible, caring, and a total animal lover. I can’t wait to use her in the future and will definitely recommend her to everyone I know!”
17. Erin G.
“Erin is an amazing person who is loyal and a great caregiver, i have a husky that she would petsit and take help me by watching her. she would take her for hikes, give her food/water and any medications that she needed.. she knew Nala (my husky) and what she wanted..if it was a nice long hike or just hanging out sleeping.. she always goes above and beyond with what i need and what Nala needs. she would absolutely be such a great pet sitter!”
18. Samantha S.
“Sam took care of my 1.5 month old goldendoodle while I was out of state for 5 days and I could not have been more comfortable leaving my dog with her. She provided regular updates and photos which made me feel at ease while away. Additionally, I had my dog stay at Sam's house with her dogs and they were extremely friendly and playful with my dog. She was sad to leave when I picked her up! I can happily recommend Sam as an excellent dog sitter who goes above and beyond to make your dog, and you, feel comfortable.”
