5. Michael K.
“For the last 6 years, Michael has helped me with doggy and kitty care (boarding, housesitting, dog walks, drop-ins), and he's been wonderful! He has such a soft spot for the furbabies and treats them like they're part of his family. I would recommend Michael as a responsible and loving caregiver, and I know he would love to take care of your pet!”

About: Hi there! My name is Grace. I was a dog owner for a long time, and now I'm hoping to meet some new dogs and help you out in the process. I love to jog, and would be happy to take your dog for a run. I love to play fetch or whatever your dog's favorite game is. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I'm trained as a paramedic, so I'm responsible and cool-headed during emergencies. I love all dogs, but rescues and those scrappy-looking mutts hold a special place in my heart. I have experience with larger breeds as well. There's no dog too big or small for me! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I can devote as much time to your animals as you need! I am available on short notice. I love to stay active, so I love going for walks or playing with animals. I live right across from a park with tons of space to run and play.
7. Valerie M.
“Valerie has taken care of my dog for several years. I always call her 1st.... if it's for a drop in or an overnight or 2. She's dependable and honest, but most of all, she truly loves and cares for my fur baby! You won't be disappointed! She's wonderful”
8. Chloee P.
“Chloee loves animals and has been talking about wanting a dog of her own for as long as I've known her. She's lived with and taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and more. She takes care of a cat at home and is a responsible owner who gives her pet what she needs. She's usually more excited to see someone's pet than she is their owner, so your pet is in good hands.”
9. Kayla M.
About: I've been around dogs my whole life. I would walk my dogs daily, to explore and go to the bathroom. I would also groom them myself. I am also familiar with cats too. I currently work part-time flexible shift during the week. I am available for boarding after 9 a.m. and on the weekends. I also specialize with deaf dogs. I will be getting gates and crates if needed fur your fur babies. When outside your puppy will me monitored at all times. Safety is #1 for all pups.

11. Maciyah D.
“This is my first experience. It went well so far will be booking her again great personality great charisma. My dog really liked her.”
12. Rhea B.
“Rhea is such a caring, responsible person. She is great with dogs of all breeds and treats each as if they are her own- giving them plenty of exercise, socialization and love! I wouldn't hesitate to leave my dog with her while I'm away and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for a four-legged family member.”
13. Nicole R.
“I can’t say enough good things about Nicole. She took wonderful care of Monty and Sophie while we were away for 2.5 weeks. She communicated in a timely and concise manner. Our refrigerator/freezer failed while we were away, and Nicole cleaned out our very packed freezer to prevent food from spoiling. Nicole left our house cleaner than we left it! Our travel plans had changed somewhat after we created our listing, so we asked Nicole if she could come a day early. She adjusted her schedule to accommodate us. We greatly appreciated her flexibility. With Nicole housesitting, we had confidence that our home and pups were in competent hands. This is really important when you’re thousands of miles away from home!”
14. Ekundayo O.
About: I’ve been a pet owner for over 20 years, ranging from the typical fish, cat, and beloved Murphy, to include even a pet iguana (or two). 🥰 I have a fenced yard where both Murphy and your furry loved one can play and hang out. For overnight stays I have a large adult dog kennel that can accommodate a Mastiff just as comfortably as it can my Min Pin (who believes he’s the size of a Mastiff). 😄 I have an older dog with lots of energy and plays well with other dogs. I am an active person, so neighborhood walking is available for dogs with proper training. I can also provide some minor training reinforcement for puppies or young dogs learning new skills and/or tricks. 🐾 Tips are APPRECIATED!!! 🐾 I work from home! 🙌🏾 So my schedule is flexible and allows me to be able to work with and respond to clients in a timely manner. My home is fenced. All pets remain on the property unless they are taken for walks. I also will let clients know about overlaps in booking wih animals.
15. Dalonna B.
“To whom it may concern: I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend my friend, Dalonna Belcher, as a pet sitter. I have had the pleasure of knowing Dalonna for five years and can confidently attest to their exceptional qualities that make them an ideal candidate for this role. Dalonna has worked as a pet care associate at Halliday’s pet resort and day care for 3 months , where they have gained extensive experience in caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and other small mammals. She is a compassionate and empathetic individual who genuinely loves animals. She is highly responsible and reliable, always ensuring that pets receive the care they need. Dalonna is also highly communicative and will keep you updated on your pet's well-being. I highly recommend Dalonna for any pet sitting position, she truly has a natural talent for connecting with animals and providing exceptional care.

16. Carli S.
“Thank you sooo much. Of course, your welcome any time to treat her to the pup bakery. Just let me know how much so I can include it in the tip.”
17. Kimberly I.
“I have known Kim for a very long time, and she is one of the most caring people you could have for a caregiver. She will always go out of her way and make sure that your pet has the utmost care that it can receive. She once took care of my dog Cooper, and he loved her so much that he would become upset when she left! I highly recommend her for this position as caretaker”
18. Grace M.
“Grace is certainly one of the most responsible and caring people I know of, and is absolutely the person I trust most with my animals. She is devoted to her own cat, Marvin, and is very aware of cats’ needs, seemingly having a sixth sense for any emerging ailments or moods. I have known her on so many occasions to take a good chunk of time to get to know cats and observe their comfort - on the street and at people’s houses - before invariably becoming their best friend. If this all sounds too gushing, it should do - I honestly cannot think of a better person to look after someone’s animals :)”
19. Mary S.
“Mary is extremely responsible and very caring when it comes to the needs of animals. I have seen Mary give loving care to dogs, cats, rabbits and hamsters. I would highly recommend her for any job concerning animals.”
