2. Raffi G.
“Raffi has watched my dogs for two of my vacations and I will be sticking with him for anything in the future! He is kind, punctual, trustworthy, professional and down to earth. He makes my dogs feel so comfortable and loved, and makes sure I know exactly what’s going on with them during his visits. Highly recommended!!!”

“Lisa was amazing. I had her watching my cat while I was overseas. She went above and beyond with making sure he had food, water, and a clean box but also playing with him and sending me a ton of pictures. I would recommend Lisa to anyone with any pets and I will be booking her anytime I am needing someone again!!”

14. Jeffrey B.
“Let me start off by saying I am not someone that leaves my cat without guilt and worry. Jeff is the only person I can honestly say that I trust 100% to care for my cat when I am away. My indoor cat has a tendency to try and escape outside whenever the door is open but Jeff makes certain that never happens on his watch! He is reliable, conscientious, and so loving to my pet. It’s clear that he not only loves animals but understands their care and needs. He always sends cute pics or videos! I can’t recommend Jeff enough to take care of your pet/pets!”
15. Lindsey G.
“Lindsey is a very trustworthy person to care for your pets. She is so loving and caring to the two dogs she has along with family dogs she’s had in the past. Lindsey has been my friend for a long time and she is very trustworthy and responsible. I feel very safe having my dog in her hands and I would recommend her to anyone who is in need of their animals to be cared for.”
16. Olivia L.
“Olivia was a great cat-sitter … very conscientious and caring. Would definitely book her again”

“Madison is reliable and truly loves pets. I will definitely be contacting her to watch our 2 cats again! Thank you Madison for taking such good care of our cats!!”
19. Nichole G.
About: I have taken care of many different breeds of dogs since I was about 10 years old. My friends and family members have relied on me to feed, bathe, and walk their dogs while there are out of town. I have three dogs that live with my parents back home and I love them all very much! I just got a dog myself, his name is Goose. He is a chocolate lab with tons of energy! I am currently a full time college student. I will have time most mornings to take dogs for a walk or to stop by to feed them in the morning. Occasionally willing to board dogs! I have plenty of trails near my apartment to take your furry fiend for a walk and have space to crate them if needed. I also live right across from a dog park!
