“Matt has been amazing with Luca. He is very easy going, he’s experienced with large breed dogs which was very important for me when selecting him. Matt has a flexible schedule and he goes above and beyond my expectations when he goes on walks with Luca. Luca in a short time has grown to love Matt. Luca gets very excited when he sees Matt coming down the driveway to pick him up to take him on his walk to the park.”


3. Cynthia S.
“My partner Cindy absolutely loves dogs. In fact, she is largely responsible for my own fondness for pooches. Whether it's our own dog Jazzy, a neighbor's dog, or any canine with whom she comes in contact, Cindy is always warm and friendly. Dogs love her almost as much as she loves dogs. She talks to, plays with, and walks dogs naturally and enthusiastically. She's also reliable, punctual, responsible. Highly recommended.”


4. Kristin P.
About: I am an animal lover. I have always had fur babies and would love to meet yours. I enjoy going on walks with dogs, playing fetch, and letting them sniff everything. I love playing with lasers with cats and seeing them be silly with boxes and feathers and toys. I work part time days at a local hospital, so my early evenings are always free. I can also drop in during mornings a few days a week. I love going on walks with dogs and playing with lasers with cats. I am able to crate dogs when needed. I have experience with multiple types of litter boxes. Additionally, I will send pictures and videos with each visit and updates of how your fur baby is doing


5. Jorinee T.
“Jorinee is an excellent care giver, she has watched over my pups when I leave out of town for work, or on vacation. She is very communicative and very flexible when it comes to caring for your pets needs. I would recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a pet care taker. I have worked with her during her internship and seen the care she gives to the animals she cares for.”


6. Alexsis R.
About: My mothers has had multiple dogs for as long as I can remember. I love caring for animals in all situations. I’ve taken care of teeny tiny babies and huge old dogs as well. From super hyper- to the laziest of dogs. I am working part time mornings only and I have plenty of time to help you look after your babies. I’m home a majority of the time so this will be no problem. Plus I have my own fur baby that I’m taking care of anyway. I have a huge backyard that my dog loves to run around in( fenced of course). I also have a crate that I don’t use any longer but I can pull it out of storage if need be.

8. Khalilah B.


“My first impression of Khalilah Rover page was that a Meet and Greet was required and that gave me instant relief. Some people are a jump right in, but for me and my 2 VERY active and socially awkward Border Collies, a M&G is necessary. She was very calm and allowed the girls to get comfortable before petting. We talked, she asked great questions, and then we did a little walk around the park before confirming they we all felt comfortable. After we set up a paid trial so all 3 could make sure they were comfortable and the walk went great!! She is very communicative and I feel very honest. My 2 girls trusted her right away and are so happy to see her. This is a great combination. I would recommend her services to anyone around.”




9. Darcelle M.
“Darcelle is the sitter for my grandcat, Sophie.Darcelle deeply loves animals and my two furbabiesMax and Maggie love her. Animals can sense when a person cares for them. She plays with them, talks to them, cares for them. She is a loving person who truly cares for pets.”

16. Jennifer S.
About: I absolutely adore all animals, dogs in particular! I've been taking care of dogs of my family and friends for a good 6 years now and I find it very rewarding and just enjoy it overall. Hanging out and taking care of dogs is already a plus, but to get paid is definitely a major bonus. I welcome most if not all dog types and will make sure they fit right in at home and be as comfortable as they can. I like to establish a good amount of trust with my fellow furry friends, just to keep things running smoothly for me, the clients, and of course the doggos too! I am available most days from morning till afternoon, if not all days because I love it that much and wouldn't have it any other way!


17. Lydia E.
About: I started dog sitting at the age of 14 for my neighbors senior dog and continued until she passed. From there, I leapt into bathing, walking, and sitting any dog that needed it. I work part time so I have several days available to pet sit and have plenty of energy to go on walks even after work days I have an unfenced yard and a two year old dog who is very friendly. Potty time can be anytime needed and walks and playtime are an everyday occurrence

20. Atiyana W.
About: Since I was a kid, I knew that I was born to take care of fur babies. I absolutely love them. They are the best I used to always play like I was a vet and till this day That’s exactly what I want to do with my life. They deserve the world, I love to help the strays an any way I can. Whether that’s sheltering them for a day or two, getting them vaccinated, taking them to a pet facility and etc. I don’t like seeing animals in need every fur baby needs they own human. Don’t you think I’m currently working part-time but I’m looking to take care of the fur babies and help out full time. Anytime. I can even do multiple days I have an puppy and now one cat due to my other passing, I clean my cats litter four times a day, depending on smell, and how full it is, and I walk my puppy 5 times a day because she has an weak bladder. Hygiene and health means everything.
