“Ryo was absolutely amazing with my big boy Os and he took to him easily. Even my puppy who doesn’t like to many people instantly took to him. I’d definitely recommend him to care for your fur babies.”
7. Jorinee T.
“Jorinee was excellent with both of my cats. I am so glad I found her. I use to be concerned about who would look after my fur babies or even if I would be able to travel at all. My cats were very comfortable with her. They were relaxed, well fed and their litter box was clean. You can tell it was done on a consistent basis. I have another lengthy vacation for next year and will no doubt be requesting her. She is excellent and I would recommend her to anyone asking.”
8. Calvin P.
About: I’m definitely an animal lover. I studied Animal Biology in College, I am a Wildlife Biologist, and dogs are my all time favorite animal. My wife Tasha also studied Health Sciences. I workout daily so your pet will definitely get their proper amount of exercise. If your dog does not like small children then our home is not the right place for you. Our schedules allow us to spend most of our day around the house. We are available to sit Mon-Sun but pick-up/drop-off times on Sundays will have limited availability because we attend church regularly. We also have a 10 year old a 3 year old a 2 year old and a 1 year old so if your dog loves kids they’ll fit right in. If you’re a first time user or you know someone who is a first time user try my code on my profile and save $20. We have 4 small children so we spend a lot of time around the house. My wife also works from home 75% of the time. I have a fenced in yard and a playful labradoodle to keep your fur babies company. There are also other very friendly pups on our street.

“Nariah was great! Took great care of my jazmine and even brought in a perishable package that was delivered and put it away for me. I mistakenly put the wrong address on my reservation and Nariah was understanding and still was able to help me out for the weekend. Will definitely use her again.”
12. Robbin M.
“Robbin watched our dog Lincoln a few times and because she has dogs of her own she knows how to take care and love all dogs. Robbin is not just a good human for dogs she’s also a great human to other humans. Anyone who gets her will definitely be lucky.”

15. Emily P.
“Emily has been stopping in to feed and play with our puppy a couple days a week for the past few months, and we were so lucky to find her. She is flexible, responsive, helpful, knowledgeable, and takes great care of our pup. She has given us pointers on stopping bad behavior and has even brought him toys. We are very comfortable leaving him alone during the day knowing she's going to stop by to give him the attention he needs. I cannot say enough good things about her.”
16. Carmen P.
“Carmen was amazing to work with! Great communication and great with the cats.”
17. David A.
“You can rely on David. He is very devoted to his dogs. David has a very calm presence and just enjoys dogs so much. David respects the rules my dog has been taught to follow and he gives Charlie lots of love and attention. He loves going to dog parks and dog meetups. Charlie always greets him like a long lost friend!”
18. Danielle R.
“Danielle is the best sitter I've ever had. She not only cares for my 13 year old dog Snow but treats him with the senior care he needs. She make sure he gets his afternoon arthritis pills he needs and she always follows instructions of where he can and can't go outside so he doesn't trip of hurt himself. She is always on time, and dependable. Because she knows how to care for senior dogs I only trust Danielle to take care of Snow. With her vet tech background, I trust her judgment if at any day something happens with Snow and she recommends he needs to go to the vet asap. Thank you Danielle!!! A+++”
19. Kayla T.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years. No matter what size or breed, anyone who’s left their pet in my care has always been satisfied with my service. I’m currently working part-time and I’m able to work with you to maintain a consistent schedule to watch your pets. My schedule is very flexible. I have a fenced yard to keep your pets from wandering off and enough open space in my backyard to let them run around and play.
20. Jasmine S.
“She is great. Walked my elderly dog when I was out of town. Showed great care and concern for my pet. My dog Trixie loved her too. Thanks Jasmine.”
