1. Laura D.
“Laura has been caring for our pets for several years and we HIGHLY recommend her if you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets as well as you do. She’s amazing with our two large dogs who are always thrilled to see her, and even our shy cat comes out when she’s around! She goes above and beyond to make sure every animal’s needs are met and that each has received their fair share of head scratches and belly rubs. Laura is a true animal lover and we are so lucky to know that our pets are always in good hands with her!”

About: I've loved dogs ever since I was a little girl and grew up with a black lab and golden retriever. I'm very comfortable with dogs of all sizes. And in recent years, I've had experience taking care of my grandfathers cat, so both feline and canine friends are welcome! Right now I want to make pet sitting my full time job. If you are a frequent traveler and do not want to board your dog or your schedule as gotten more busy than usual, I would love to help take care of your pet(s) while you are away. In my home and in others, I've always provided toys, treats, and whatever other items your pet loves to play with at times when the dog or cat can be entertained themselves for a little bit or supervised but most importantly I am able to anticipate their needs for taking them outside, playing, resting, feeding, and more. For their exercise and mine I love to walk them around any nearby park, hiking trail, town center, or whatever is around where you live! I also have experience with my own black lab & golden retriever in giving topical and oral medication for things such as tick/heart worm prevention, and ear infections.


5. Samantha G.

“I can't recommend Samantha highly enough as a dog walker! My dog Stanley absolutely adores her and gets so excited every time she comes over. Samantha has an exceptional way with animals, and her genuine love and care for them is evident in every interaction. She is reliable, professional, and always goes the extra mile to ensure Stanley has a great time on his walks. Whether it's a brisk walk or a fun play session, Stanley comes back happy and well-exercised. Samantha's dedication and enthusiasm make her the best dog walker I’ve ever had!”

“Elysse was awesome and very professional. She was always quick to reply and sent updates throughout the week. I knew I could enjoy my vacation and not worry about my dogs because I knew they were in good hands :) I would absolutely hire her again!”


7. Josh A.

“While my partner and I were traveling, we hired Josh to walk our dog while she stayed at my in-laws house. He made a great impression on them, on us, and most importantly, our dog, Willow! She couldn't wait for her daily walk with Josh. Even during a heat wave, he made sure our girl was exercised and stimulated. He dutifully sent us sweet pics of her after each walk that truly made our day. We looked forward to his updates and he really delivered! My in-laws were so impressed with him and said he was an absolute pro - we couldn't agree more. I highly recommend Josh if you are looking for a reliable and experienced dog sitter or walker. He was extremely flexible to our needs. You really couldn't do better than Josh!”


8. Ivanna B.
“I can't recommend Ivanna enough as a pet sitter! She is truly an amazing, trustworthy, and caring individual who has a natural ability to connect with animals. Although we don’t have any pets of our own yet, we always see how caring Ivanna is with her fur babies. Whether it's dogs or cats, Ivanna treats each pet with the utmost love and attention, making them feel safe and comfortable in her care. I’ve seen firsthand how she goes above and beyond to ensure pets are not only well-fed and exercised but also emotionally nurtured while their owners are away. Her professionalism and reliability give me complete peace of mind whenever I need a pet sitter. And when we are ready to get a little kitty of our own, we know we can trust Ivanna to watch her when we need it. If you're looking for someone you can trust to treat your pets like family, Ivanna is absolutely the one!”

12. Rebecca F.

“Rebecca is the best. She is communicative, prompt, and you can tell she truly enjoys animals. She sent me so many photos of my dog during their walks, it made me smile and I knew my dog was in good hands. I highly recommend her services. Thank you so much!”


13. Kelly U.

“Kelly is extremely communicative, punctual , and intuitive to my pup’s needs. Cooper-pup seems to really like Kelly, and gets excited when she comes for his daily walks. I couldn’t recommend Kelly more!!”

15. Maggie L.
About: I have always loved dogs. I have one dog at the moment and dog sitting fulfills my need for a second dog. I recently lost my first dog, Peekaboo the Cockapoo, and have been heart broken ever since. I do have an amazing dog Moose (3y/o 40# all American brown dog mix) and I don’t want her to ever feel lonely so hosting dogs or going to walk other dogs has been a great way for her to get personalized one on one attention! I love my dogs so much they bring me so much joy we love to take walks around my beautiful neighborhood 3 to 4 times a day we have space to play and beds to lay on and take naps in the sun, we look forward to getting the chance to meet you all soon ! I work full-time from home with a digital marketing career. I am able to monitor my animals all day. Every day we go for 3 to 4 walks around my mile and a quarter neighborhood block. I have tons of space for your dog to be crated or to nap on their bed or to nap on my bed I am very attentive to my animals needs. I typically know that if an animal is out of sight, then they must be getting into some thing so if I see that they don’t want to be near me, we go for a walk I’m always available for a pet or a cuddle in between my business calls. With the nearby trails, I am always out exploring with my animal friends


16. Michael T.
About: I've worked in Dog/Cat Kennels both caring for pets staying overnight and actively caring for them by feeding, playing and taking care of their other basic needs during the day. I also have a lot of experience caring for many different pets and have grown up with animals my entire life. I am currently self employed which means I can make plenty of time around my schedule for your pets needs. I prefer a consistent schedule but I can work out flexible schedules if needed. I have 9 pets. Those being dogs, cats, a rabbit, a leopard gecko, a bearded dragon and 2 ferrets. I care for them all in unique ways depending on the animal and always make sure to do plenty of research and ask many questions before taking on the responsibility.

“Jill is great! She showed our pup so much love and care. On our second booking with her she was able to help us in a pinch and took our dog for a walk with little notice on our end. Will definitely be repeat customers of Jill’s! She’s very trustworthy and dependable!”


19. Maura H.
“I’ve known Maura for decades and would trust her to care for any member of my family, including my pets.

I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her!”
