1. Molly B.
“Molly is an attentive and super caring pet caregiver! Would definitely recommend her to watch over your pets :) She is a very responsible person!”


2. Ellen E.

“Ellen is an amazing and responsible caregiver! She has helped look after my cat on numerous occasions and they became best friends right away. She is very attentive to a pet's different needs and is great at playing and keeping them active. She also made sure my cat stayed on her regular schedule and would let her just curl up in Ellen's lap and take a nap. I know that she has taken care of dogs as well and would take them on amazing outdoor adventures or long walks around the area. No matter the pet, Ellen shows real love, affection, and care for every animal she takes care of, or even just hangs out with for a day, and makes sure they are comfortable and content.”


3. Izabelle K.

“Izzy was very sweet, prompt and communicative with pics and messages - one of my pups was a sad baby and wouldn’t come out of hiding to go walk (not Izzy’s fault at all!) but the other pup was thrilled to be out and about with her. Will book with her again!”


4. Joshua S.
“Watching Joshua interact with my mother's elderly pug and my baby kitten was truly a joy to behold. His ability to connect with animals on a emotional and physical and psychological level is anything short of amazing. Joshua has a cheery and adoring disposition along with a passionate soul that dogs and cats and animals of all kind can really connect with. His experience in the medical field has been proven to showcase his abilities and capabilities when it comes to caring for animals and their needs. He is a devoted and caring owner when it comes to his own pug Deku, these two share a bond that is unmatched by any pairing of human and animal kind I have ever seen in my life. On many occasions I have witnessed Joshua put Deku's needs and other animals needs before his own. I have the utmost respect for Joshua and his loving and caring demeanor and passion for animals. I highly recommend him for anybody who wants someone to be focused on their furry companion. Thank you. Jordan Cote”

8. Keanu H.
About: I like to play with dogs and at the moment I've own 5 doggies; Unique, Nunu, Milky, Bronco, and Marshmallow. I also like going on runs and I like to take the dogs with me. My schedule is pretty good. I can watch any dog around the afternoon to evening. I can also probably spend the night if need be to keep your pets from being lonely. I like to make sure they get a lot of exercise along with keeping them fed. Also petting a lot, I like petting dogs or cats.


9. Sharika E.

“Sharika is great with my 5-month old Samoyed puppy who can be very disobedient and stubborn at times. She is incredibly accommodating in terms of walk times, and is flexible which I sincerely appreciate. Would recommend Sharika 100%!”
10. Katie C.
About: Hi there my name is Katie! I’ve been around animals all my life! Dogs, cats, lizards birds, snakes…you name it! I’m very experienced with animals and always get a good response when meeting new pets! They can always tell I’m animal person! I have my own puppets who I take to the dog park everyday! We go on 4 walks a day as well so if I’m taking care of your pooch they will join us at the park and on walks! As for cats, birds ect they will be mostly in the house while sitting and will be fed watered and safe till you come by to pick them up! I love the outdoors! Anything related to hiking I love. When I go on a walk or to the park with my own dog I would definitely be including any of the dogs I am babysitting. My dog always gets lots of cuddles and love and attention so your animal would get the same. We do not use anger to tell our animals that they did something wrong instead they get put in the kennel and time out. I won’t be parenting anyone’s animals though unless I am hired for dog training which is another service all on it own.


11. Alice S.
“Alice is a wonderful friend and super loving dedicated dog mom! I would leave my dogs with her without any hesitation. I have seen Alice go out of her way to befriend new dogs that come into her path. Her heart is BIG and she would make it her highest priority to keep your special friend(s) protected and well cared for.”


12. Cheyenne L.
“Cheyenne was more than a dog/house sitter. She became like family. Our dogs always perked up when they would hear her name. She was a tremendous help while we were traveling and our eldest dog of 14yrs was having issues walking due to his knees and on several meds. He would have accidents in the house and none of this bothered Cheyenne. We are so grateful to have her in our lives and to be able to spend the time with our fur babies. She will be the first one I go to when I’m in need of dog care. Thanks Kevin”


13. Anni E.
“I have known Anni for 7 years, and was an employee of mine for three years. if you ever need something she would be there.. she never missed a day of work . she has a wonderful heart and one of the beat soull youll ever meet. she is a free spirit and loves every living creature. on many occasions she has take it in abandon animals and rescues cats and dogs. I really admire her dedication to our four-legged friends..”

15. Heidi A.
“Heidi is the best dog caregiver we have ever had. We have a sweet, sensitive, rowdy pup and left him with her for two weeks while we got married out of the country. She took the time to understand his personality and what he needed to feel safe and secure, and also worked with him to build his confidence. Adding in the nightly bed cuddles and morning massages, she took better care of our dog than we do :). We especially appreciated Heidi's regular updates about their adventures- so fun! Please don't book her because we very much want her available for our next trip out of town.”
