“Jennifer was great with our dog. She came to our home the day prior to meet Wrigley and ask questions. She was professional, and Wrigley looked happy in photos she sent. I would definitely ask Jennifer to take care of Wrigley again.”

“Alexis was absolutely fantastic taking care of my baby Luna! Luna is only 6 months old, has a lot of energy, is not fully trained and I'm sure was a handful for someone to walk in day-one and manage, But she did above and beyond. She brought toys and puzzles, made sure Luna was fed and properly walked. She updated me on how the walks went, when she arrived and left, told me about the other dogs Luna got to meet along the walks and seemed totally joyful and sincere about spending time with my sweet girl. I will be hiring Alexis over and over in the future!”

“Melanie was great! She was on-time and have our pups a great, long walk each booking. Ralphie was a little hesitant with her the first walk, but once she picked up his leash he was excited. After that I think they were besties. We got pictures each walk also which was fantastic!”
16. Aby B.
About: I’ve always been naturally drawn to animals. I feel very connected and comfortable around all pets. i’ve been around all different types of breeds & genuinely enjoy caring for any animal because they bring so much happiness to my life. I can do anything that is needed because caring for pets comes easy to me. I work a job that allows me a lot of freedom & I I have a lot of spare time on my hands. I would love to fit some pet sitting jobs into my routine. I have three small dogs that are super friendly and get along with any animals. I do have a backyard & although it isn’t fenced in I do have tie outs and leashes.
17. Pam C.
“Pam is the perfect person to be a pet caregiver. She has watched and cared for my dog as well as my son’s when we have been out of town. Pam even let them out more times then we asked just because she wanted to visit with them. Her dog is the center of her life and feels all owner should be the same way. She loves the outdoors and takes her dog walking many times a day. Either through town or on the trail, she is always prepared with water, treats and waste bags. She loves to go to pet events so her dog has play time with others Pam is a very responsible person and I can always count on her to be there whenever needed. Anyone should comfortable letting Pam care for their pet.”
18. Amparo G.
“Amparo is my number one choice when it comes to pet care for my spicy kitty. He's had behavioral problems since he was a small kitten and Amparo has not only learned how to peacefully interact with him, but they have also created quite the unique and adorable bond. Salem needs extra attention due to overstimulation, meaning he needs you to read his cues. Amparo has done a wonderful job caring for Salem, reading those cues and teaching me a few things along the way.I couldn't ask for a better sitter!”
19. Jessica A.
“My cat Jinx is usually very shy around new people, but with Jess she was immediately drawn to her like she’s known her forever. She’s so kind and treat her like Jinx is her own!”
20. Melissa B.
“Melissa and TJ were wonderful with Marley. They were punctual rain or shine. Marley always looked very happy after their time together. I would definitely recommend them and will call them in the future. Thank you!”
