9. Kelly P.
“Kelly is exactly what we hoped to find when looking for a dog sitter. She is responsible, good communicator, keeping us in loop with timing/coming and goings, sending pics and letting us know how things are going when we are away, good with our fur babies, and kept our home in good shape while we were gone. Kelly is awesome!”
10. Enzo M.
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Enzo! He was incredibly responsive to my initial outreach. When we met him, we just instantly could tell he had wonderful, positive energy, and he connected with us and our dog immediately. He was very prompt for all of the scheduled visits and sent many photos and videos. Our dog also takes medication twice a day, which she doesn’t like. Enzo was incredibly comfortable with administering the medication… probably more at ease than I am! We highly recommend Enzo!”

“Kathryn did such a great job with my dog, Emmitt. She was very communicative and flexible to his needs. I know he is in good hands with her and would recommend Kathryn to anyone!”
14. Montana G.
“Montana was an excellent communicator during my trip away from home. I had some continuous flight delays during this time and Montana was very understanding and her flexibility to assist with some more pup time put my mind at ease. One key factor in me wanting Montana was that my Pyr has some serious anxiety issues and requires some patience due to him being stubborn at times. She is very patient and my Pyr just gravitates to Montana with ease. Highly recommend!!!”

17. Elsie W.
About: I’ve had a love for pets since I was a young child. My parents finally let me get a dog when I was 16 and he has been spoiled rotten since the day I got him!! I will care for your pets like they are my own and do anything I can to relieve their anxieties of you being away! I have dogsat, catsat, and even guinea pig-sat for over 10 years now. Their comfort is the biggest priority to me and making sure they are well loved till you get home! I have another job that keeps me traveling for work around 3-5 days a week, so in my off time I would be dedicated to your furry family members. In my free time I enjoy going for walks, trying new restaurants, and getting on my paddleboard! Whatever boundaries you have set for how you would like me to care for your dog inside your home will be followed. I would never want to overstep or do something to throw your dog off of a routine if that is something you have in place!
18. Breckyn E.
“Breckyn was a lifesaver when I ended up in a pinch over a weekend. We were able to schedule a meet & greet super quickly, and she left thorough notes about each walk. She even pointed out an overgrown claw + sent pictures of my cats too. Really put me at ease! Thanks so much!”
19. Shneila L.
“I cannot recommend Shneila enough! From the very first interaction, it was clear that she truly loves and understands animals. She took such wonderful care of my pet, making sure they felt comfortable, loved, and entertained the entire time. Her updates and photos gave me peace of mind, and I could tell my furry friend was having a great time! She is reliable, communicative, and goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel right at home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just making sure all their needs are met, she does it all with so much care and attention. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, look no further—Shneila is the best!”
20. Natalie M.
