12. Alison L.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and there is nothing I love more than playing and caring for your furry family members. I have been on dog sitting apps for over 5 years and I am a trusted and responsible caregiver. I am working remote full time but can be available after 5 every day and throughout the day for potty breaks as needed. I have a car so travel isn’t a worry. I cannot host your pets at mine but I am very responsible and trustworthy and happy to care for pets from their space. They are often more comfortable anyways!

“Blueberry loves her walks with Kate. Kate works with our girl's quirks on walks and gives her plenty of attention. We appreciated the messages letting us know when she was on the way and of course, appreciate all of the pictures.”
18. Emily H.
“Emily was very quick to reply to my booking request and sent me several updates while she was walking my dog. My dog got a little nervous and didn’t want to go on a full 30 min walk, so Emily stayed with her in my apartment for the rest of the time and played with her in a more comfortable setting. I will use Emily in the future if I have the need.”
19. Ilana R.
“Ilana was amazing!!! I would totally use her again with my fur baby! She alerted me that my dog wasn’t eating her food which is normal when she pours when we leave her but was happy that Ilana was paying her attention and alerting us! She was on time, reliable and trustworthy!”
20. Laura & Simon L.
“My partner and I both got sick at the same time and Laura was nice enough to take our puppy for walks on very short notice. She always showed up on time and Momo would wait impatiently for her at the door. Her joy at seeing Laura spoke volumes. Thank you!! Would definitely recommend.”
