14. Amanda C.
“I was so worried about leaving my dogs when I went on vacation. But then I was extremely fortunate to find Amanda. After our initial meeting I was extremely impressed by her professionalism, love and concern for the care of my pets. She is a gem and a true animal lover. She has experience fostering animals, so she is well aware of what it takes to care for pets with special needs and can adapt quickly to the wishes you have for the care of your pet. Amanda endured my list of instructions and made me feel at ease that my pets would be well taken care of and treated like a member of the family during their stay. I never had to worry about their well-being or safety and I received pictures of my pets while they were in her care to put my mind at ease. I can always rest easy when my pets are being cared for by Amanda and they are always so happy when I get there to pick them up. I plan to use Amanda every time I need a pet sitter. Top notch love and care provided.”

“Brittany has watched my golden retrievers Allie and Riley a few times while I have been out of town.

Don't hesitate to book her and go enjoy a vacation!!”
16. Catie P.
About: I grew up with a cat and have had my dog for 10.5 years ever since she was a puppy. My dog gets a long with all other dogs and cats and is very submissive. I have about a 1/2 acre of fenced in backyard, so plenty of space for dogs to run and play. I attended puppy training classes to train her when she was 5 months old. I have one day off during the week and do not work weekends. My dog is crate trained while I am at work. I like to go for walks and let my dog play outside. She is getting older so she’s not able to walk very far. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of room outside and inside for the dogs to play. I can bathe your dogs when they come to stay as well.
17. Jackie M.
“Jackie was wonderful! She went above and beyond what was asked of her and my babies loved her!! Will definitely book her again!!”
18. Lisa P.
“Lisa has cared for our sweet dog many times over a few years. She loves our dog so much and spoils him for sure. He is always happy when we come home as opposed to other times we have left him in the care of others and we come home to him being so sad. We love the pictures she sends us while we are gone. He gets so excited when we say, “Miss Lisa is coming over to play!” My husband and I recommend her 100%”
19. Anica S.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 11 years old and I absolutely love meeting new people! My friends and family always refers me as the “crazy cat lady” because I have 3 cats of my own! I am currently in school Monday-Thursday so I offer pet care Friday-Sunday! I always try and make time and make sure I am a help to others! I make sure if pets need to be leashed that it happens before going outside or leaving the house! I also always clean up after each animal to ensure cleanliness in the neighborhood!
