1. Jenell R.
“Jenell was absolutely amazing! She stopped in several times over the weekend to check on our Boone while we were getting married. She always sent a picture update and paid attention to all the little details that Boone likes to do around his home. Would definitely hire her again! Very professional, great communication, and a very warm heart. Our Boone is the most important thing to us and Jenell made sure we had nothing to worry about while we were away.”
2. Emily B.
“Emily always does a great job with our two dogs! She stays at our house and provides updates while we are gone. She’s timely and takes care of their needs. We would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter. The dogs are always excited to see her!”
3. Amanda L.
“Thank you for watching after Walle while we were in Utah. I really was happy to know someone was giving him attention every day when I wasn't able to. I appreciate so much you bringing Duncan's chewy box inside (despite my best efforts to get that shipment way before we left, long story with that). It's the biggest guilt I have leaving home is knowing Walle might be lonely. I can't take him away from home like we can with Duncan (becuase cats are sensitive to new enviorments). I appreciate you are so close to home and I feel walle sure associates you with good treats and pets and a good part of his day while we are gone.”

They loved her and we enjoyed seeing the photos she sent us of them. We will be reaching out to Heather every time we need someone to drop in for our babies. Thank you so much Heather for giving us the ease of mind to have fun while we were away from home!!”

15. Dalani S.
“Dalani is one of my best friends from work I when a a 2 week vacation last year and I had her watch my 10 week old husky named Ace. She did a great job! She really helped us stay on told of potty training and even did our exact routine so he wouldn’t get off schedule. I think that was the best cause when we got home he was pretty much potty training and it was really awesome that we didn’t have to restart the whole process over again!”
16. Michelle Z.
About: I've always been a huge dog lover, tried to take in every stray as a kid, I grew up around dogs like basset hounds, Labradors, poodles and beagles. I've dog sat for boxers who think they're lap dogs, I've sat for younger pups, middle aged dogs, senior dogs, small dogs and big dogs! I go on frequent walks, play tug a war, play fetch, snuggles and affection. Give dogs medication if they need it, whatever makes the dogs happy! I'm very fond of cats as well I love all the different cat personalities and just being able to have some calm moments and snuggle with them. I'm a wife, mom and accountant by day but Thursday-Sunday I have more flexibility to soak up extra pet snuggles. Watching other people's precious pups/cats allows me more animal loving time. I treat all pets just like I would my own pup or kitty cat lots of snuggles, a few treats, safe walks making sure harnesses or leashes are properly worn and make sure they are always in a safe environment.
17. Kylie B.
About: I have taken care of all sorts of breeds and ages of dogs. I work at a doggy daycare as well and have been trained in dog behavior, body language, and leash work. I absolutely love working with dogs and am responsible and caring. I love walking and caring for animals so helping walk dogs or let dogs out would fit in perfectly for my daily walks and would work out! I am very responsible and take great pride in the care of others animals as my own. I treat them as they were my own. This includes potty breaks at a timely manner, feedings, loving, and playtime!
18. Odessa T.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs from a little age since I was about 9 I’d say. Dogs have been a huge part of my life with having 3 dogs now and having 2 previous dogs I have quite a bit of experience in any and all situations. I would love your pups just as much as my own🫶🏻 I am going to be working part time as a stylist and so I have a couple of free days I’d like to enjoy outside or with pets in general! We have lots of free land for pups to run around. If we are at the home owners house if they have a fence that will be a good safety feature for when I’m watching them. Otherwise I’ll always make sure to have them on a leash and spend time outside with them like playing fetch and what not
19. Austin C.
“To know my brother Austin is to know animals (and kids) love him and he is amazing with them. My most recent example is from two weeks ago when he came to visit. I adopted my dog during the height of COVID and due to social distancing we had limited interaction with other people and nobody ever came over. My dog became territorial aggressive in our home. I knew the one person that could help me work with him was Austin. I watched as my dog went from aggressive to asking for belly rubs! Seriously! I watched my dog realize that not only was Austin not a threat but is lots of fun. They become the best of friends and it made my heart happy to see them build that relationship. Soon it was all about playing with toys, going on walks and all the pets my dog could want. I understand that this position isn’t about training but I wanted to try and showcase how much love Austin has for every animal I’ve ever seen him around. I would highly recommend Austin to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter and wants to have a kind, responsible, fun and knowledgeable person to care for their fur baby. Wether it’s during work hours or while they're away on vacation not having to worry about their pets as they would be in safe and very capable hands is priceless. If you have any further questions you may contact me at 832-477-6658 Sheri Sankey”
20. April S.
“April is a dedicated, loving, responsible pet owner. She loves all animals and has an excellent temperament that animals can sense, and they are drawn to her. Our two cats just love when she comes over, and they just bask in her attention and loving. We have no issues leaving our babies because she loves them as her own. We also have a cat "George" who has some neurological issues and she gives him massages and extra cuddling. The boys just love their time with her, and we love having her take care of them.”
