13. Rod L.
“I’ve known Rod for over 30 years. Rod has had pets as part of his family for the majority of his life. He has owned mostly Husky’s. However, he also owned a German Shepherd and a cat. He is also a Grandpa to a three old energetic Corgi. Rod’s pets are considered pals. They do everything with him. He takes them for car rides, running, boating, fishing, and for long walks around the neighborhood. He even takes naps with them. 😊 He also enjoys interacting with pets in the neighborhood (too many to mention). And, on occasion he has been asked to care for their pets when they go on vacation or business trips. If you are looking for a pet care provider that will treat your beloved pet like a family member, is a person who honors commitments, shows up on time, and is trust worthy (retired military) then Rod is your person. I’d rate him two 🐾!”
14. Rebecca B.
About: I grew up with dogs and since on my own have had 3 dogs. 2 that I raised and 1 elderly that I adopted till he passed the rainbow bridge. Now I babysit for my fur nephew :) I work from home and have a flexible schedule that I would love to help others pet owners out with animals and owner reassurance and needs. I have a fenced in backyard that they would be free to roam. Also free range of my home with no other pets around therefore having my undivided attention.
15. Scott T.
“Scott is one of the most professional dog sitters I have ever met. He has numerously watched my lab/retriever mix. Our dog has special needs that must be carefully addressed and it was top priority that those needs were met. I highly recommend Scott watching a dog of any breed.”
16. Christian B.
“Christian is a fantastic pet caregiver, combining genuine love for animals with a responsible and attentive approach. He treats every pet like his own, ensuring they are well-cared for and happy. You can trust Christian to provide top-notch care for your furry friends!”
17. Elizabeth S.
“Lizzie has watched my cats on multiple occasions, some of which were extended stays. She has always done such a terrific job taking care of them which made it easy for me to be away without any worry. She always made sure to feed them on time, play with them and even administer some medication for one of my cats. I recommend her for your pet needs!”
18. Becky K.
About: I have a Bachelor’s in Zoology. I was a zookeeper for 8yrs, vet assistant for 2yrs, manager of a boarding/daycare facility, manager of a veterinary clinic kennel and manager of a dog rescue. I’ve done it all! Medicate. Groom. Feed. Socialize. Exercise. Train. I am currently in the process of finding a new job, so my schedule is very flexible. My two daughters are in school full time also, so my days are very open. I have a fenced yard where I socialize my dog with other dogs regularly. I clip nails, bathe, feed and medicate my dog, 2 cats and care for my fish!

“I have known Kelsey for many years , she is very reliable, caring and has a love for animals. She has lots of energy and is great with pets and children..I would not hesitate to have her take care of any of my pets.”
20. Linnea D.
“Linnea has been a dog lover (and amateur trainer) since her early days of 4-H with the family puppy as her project. Now she’s raising a golden of her own. Personable, friendly, conscientious, attentive (but not a pushover), both you and your dog will be happy with her kind, quality care while you’re away.”
