“Rose is fantastic with our dog. Kind, prompt, and compassionate. He’s not the most active guy and can be stubborn and Rose has embraced it all. We are so lucky to have found her.”
5. Ryan M.
“Ryan M has a long history of providing safe, loving care to dogs and cats, indeed any animals he is responsible for. He has cared for my dog on many occasions and I have observed him with his own dog and other others. I have observed him to be patient and attuned to the dog’s needs, and he cares about their well-being. He is wise and kind. He has trained at least one dog from a puppy who is now a well adjusted loving adult. Ryan has shown over and over has the right heart, mind, and judgment to be a pet sitter. Any dog or cat would be fortunate to be in his care. Highly recommend.”

“Sylvia has looked after my senior cat on multiple occasions, and there are few people I trust so fully with her wellbeing. She is attentive, reliable, caring, communicative, proactive, and very organized.

Wholly recommend her as a trusted sitter for pets.”

18. Brighid B.
About: Hi! I am a huge fan of dogs and cats and miss my own very much! Since I am pet less at college, I thought that I could meet other pets and have a reason to take a walk! I have owned animals all of my life and have experience with older dogs specifically. I also have experience with younger dogs and have even lived with puppies in their training years. Active dogs are amazing and I am an avid runner who welcomes any running/jogging companions. While I have less experience with cats, I am still a cat lover and have been around cats all of my life. I am a avid dog and cat lover and can not wait to make more furry friends! During the week I can do check-ins twice a day and even more on the weekends! My evenings are the most flexible and I don't mind driving. I have a safe, clean car if necessary. I am a great communicator and I can be in touch at all times of the day!
19. mackenzie b.
“Mackenzie was very nice, prompt, and did great with Mario! He can be over-excited and we are still working on training and she was very comfortable. Thank you!”
20. Paige A.
“Paige was great - jumped right in for a last minute request. Huck seemed very happy. Paige kept me updated regularly and I appreciate her reliability and attention.”
