“Kim is great with our fur babies. She sends a ton of photos and updates along the way. I can tell she really knows what she’s doing. This was our first walk with Kim but we will be using her as our regular dog walker!”
2. Melissa M.
“Melissa is the sweetest! So happy to have found her, especially so last minute. Knox is super happy having someone so caring and experienced spend time with him. She is super meticulous and remembers to tick check him and make sure he’s all set before she leaves. Cannot wait to continue working with Melissa for the rest of the summer!”
3. Ann F.
“Ann is a great dog walker! She is patient and allowed my anxious reactive dog to warm up to her in her own time. It’s clear she enjoys walking my pup and how much my pup loves her! She is reliable, communicates clearly, and spends appropriate quality time walking as well as giving belly rubs!!”
4. Katie C.
“Katie has taken care of my fur baby multiple times. She is extremely attentive and it is clear she has a lot of knowledge about animals. I feel more comfortable leaving the house knowing I have someone who truly cares about my pup as much as I do. Katie communicates with me well and follows the directions I leave her regarding my pup. Thank you Katie for alway being reliable and allowing me to enjoy my time away from home without having to worry about my pup.”
5. Jodi W.
“Jodi is an animal lover who is very knowledgeable of all dog breeds. She has experience with large dogs and small breeds. I have a toy poodle and a cavapoo that love when she comes to take care of them. She is very active and can exercise your dogs. She will tire your dogs out before she tires. She is dedicated taking care of your fur babies as if they were hers. I highly recommend her, she is professional, caring, and dedicated.”
6. Larissa R.
“Larissa is with my Loki weekly and we couldn't ask for someone better! She's caring, trustworthy, communicative, loving and really connects with my dog. She always goes above and beyond and I couldn't imagine being without her at this point! She really spends the entire time with him and makes him happy! She's the best.”
7. Jason C.
“Jason is such a great dog sitter and walker. He responds quickly and sends photos through the whole time! He was very patient with our dog who does not really enjoy walking and made sure our dog was well situated before leaving!”
8. Patrick & Karyn L.
“I am proud to share my most positive testimony of Patrick & his wife as petsitters. They provide a 24/7 safe, attentive, loving clean home for pets. Their own pets are playful, happy, healthy & loving life. Their large, safe, shady fenced in yard is perfect for pets to play. Patrick has helped me with his knowledge of healthy pet foods for my pet which now my pet loves & is eating better. I am so happy they provide this service and so will you!”
9. Natalie O.
“Natalie is great with dogs. Her family has 2 dogs, a Black Lab and a Golden Retriever. The dogs absolutely love Natalie. They follow her around the house, watch tv with her and take naps together. Natalie is also very responsible for walking and cleaning up after the dogs. She plays with them often and makes sure they get plenty of exercise. Natalie also, babysits and walks the neighbors dogs. She is truly a dog person.”
10. Ashley M.
“Ashley was amazing! She arrived on time. She paid attention to every detail. Always had a smile on her face. You can tell how much she loved caring for our fur baby. We will use her over and over again! Highly recommend.”
11. Robert W.
“To be totally upfront, Bob is my brother and not a friend. So I am far from unbiased in this. On the other hand, having grown up with him I'm more than familiar with his history with pets. Growing up we had dogs and cats and birds and hamsters, etc in the household. He is very comfortable around household pets and deals with them in a very patient, reliable and kind manner. He's even good with finicky cats, as he and his spouse of many years have two in their home. You probably know from his application that he has a graduate degree from Columbia and has recently retired after many years of employment. In short (and in my somewhat biased opinion), he's a portrait in responsibility and will undoubtedly treat any animals assigned to him with kindness and exceptional care. Any animals left in his care will be in good hands”
12. Kathy R.
“We recently had the pleasure of having Kathy watch our two Yorkies, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the care and attention she provided. From the moment we met her, we knew our pups were in great hands. Kathy was not only professional but also incredibly warm and caring. She made sure to keep us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our Yorkies can be a bit high-maintenance, but Kathy handled everything with ease, making sure they were well-fed, played with, and given plenty of love. When we returned, they were happy, calm, and clearly well taken care of. Kathy went above and beyond, and we are so grateful to have found someone we can truly trust with our pets. We highly recommend Kathy to anyone looking for a reliable, loving pet sitter. We know we’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
13. Sarah Z.
“My dog Leo loves Sarah! She provided his twice a day walks when I was working long shifts and sent great pictures of my fur baby. It’s clear she loves animals and they love her! It was a relief to find someone with clear communication who is super reliable.”
14. Pamela B.
“Boon enjoys Pam's visits and walks. He gets a full 30 minute walk with her and she takes several nice photos en route. Pam made sure to understand what Boon's needs were and was attentive to them. We'll definitely be repeat clients!”
15. Crystal S.
About: I have several years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, developing a strong understanding of their needs and behaviors. My pet care experience includes daily feeding, administering medications if necessary, and ensuring proper hydration. I am skilled in managing dietary restrictions and preparing special meals for pets with specific health concerns if needed. Additionally, I have experience in grooming tasks such as brushing, and bathing, ensuring pets remain clean and comfortable. For dogs, I provide regular walks, playtime, and exercise, catering to their energy levels and preferences. I understand the importance of mental stimulation, offering engaging toys, playtime and activities to prevent boredom. With cats, I ensure their litter boxes are kept clean and provide enrichment through interactive toys and playtime. I am attentive to their moods, allowing for plenty of quiet, one-on-one time when they seek affection or solitude. I also have experience administering medication to both cats and dogs and am attentive to their health, closely monitoring any changes in behavior or physical condition. I have cared for many animals over the years, including my own as well as family, friends and neighbors. I take pride in providing a safe, loving, and structured environment for pets, always prioritizing their health, happiness, and comfort. As a part-time overnight worker, I have a flexible routine that allows me to provide excellent pet sitting care. During the day, I dedicate time to feeding, walking, and playing with pets, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and attention. Before heading to my overnight shift, I make sure the pets are settled, comfortable, and have everything they need. In between shifts, I check on the pets, clean up, and ensure they’re safe and happy. My schedule allows me to offer consistent, personalized care while balancing my work responsibilities, making sure pets receive the attention and love they deserve. As a pet sitter, I prioritize safety and trust by creating a secure and comfortable environment in my clients' homes. I ensure all doors, windows, and gates are properly secured to prevent escapes, and I take extra precautions with any household items or plants that could pose a risk to pets. I follow detailed instructions regarding pet routines, dietary needs, and any special care requirements. I also maintain open communication with clients, sending updates and photos to keep them informed. By being attentive, reliable, and respectful of the home, I build trust and ensure peace of mind for both pets and their owners.
16. Renee M.
“Renee has been one of my friends for many years now. When I got Cleo, an austrailian Shepard mix, I didn't have anyone to watch her while I was at work. Being able to have Renee watch her while I'm at work makes me feel so much better. I know she has a fun place to stay and she loves Renees 's dog, Patches. He is such a loving dog and gets along with everyone !!”

18. Narmin M.
About: I’ve helped my best friend raise her own puppy and have learned some skills to use with our furry friends!! Animals bring such great joy and are so genuine. An experience of mine unrelated to animals is that I also have over 13 years volunteering experiences within many communities interacting with children and senior citizens. I’m a graduate student so my schedule is very flexible! I have plenty of availability throughout the week and weekends to help you in watching and caring of your pet! Pet sitting in a clients home seems like a nice cozy way to learn about someones pet. I will make sure whatever is used for the pet will be kept tidy and follow the directions of the petowner.
19. Molly J.
About: I have always had a natural intuition for animals feelings and needs. My love for pets is what sparked me to take on pet care. I have been a dog walker/dog sitter for over a year and I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for. I grew up with a household of pets myself! I am currently working part time along with attending law school. My schedule is pretty flexible and I could accommodate times to take care of your pet! I will attend to the needs of your pet in a loving matter and approach, I will be sure they will be walked, fed, loved and cared for and anything else you would like me to do for them!
