2. Max W.

“Max was taking care of my two dogs for a whole month. The dogs were very happy when I came back. He sent me pictures every day and was in contact for everything that happened. He also took care of our house, took out the trash and checked the mail box. Also, my dogs had a few “accidents” inside the house and Max cleaned the mess. We are very happy we found him!! Thank you Max!”


3. Porter F.
“Porter has had a love for animals his whole life and he is willing to do anything for animals and give them love and care whenever they need.”


4. Ella T.

“Ella was amazing. She is very conscientious and responsible. At first glance you know she is kind and caring - and that she will be the same with your animals. She met the challenge of our very protective black and ferocious German Shepherd without reservation. And she was reedy and willing to take care of our cat who is excellent at hiding when anyone is around. I highly recommend Ella and look forward to booking her again.”


5. Cassie C.
“I’ve known Cassie her entire life. She’s always been passionate about animals and has grown up with a wide variety of pets and animal experiences. Animals seem as drawn to her as she is to them. I’ve never seen an animal respond negatively to Cassie. She has good instincts, is kind and compassionate, firm enough to maintain control, trustworthy and reliable. She’s the first one her friends and family turn to when they need a pet sitter or any kind of help with their beloved pets. I highly recommend Cassie’s services when you need some extra help for your pooch. Your dog’s going to love her!”

9. Bec P.
About: Growing up I always had dogs and would constantly watch dogs 101 and vet shows. I learned their language to better connect with them especially if they have anxiety. Right now I am raising 3 cats and caring for my elderly dog who has seizures so I know how to handle a situation when it come to it along with schedule medications. My dog also only chooses me to cuddle with during thunderstorms so if your pup has a fear of storms while you're gone you can rest assure I'm making them feel as safe as possible. I have pretty big gaps between my day schedule, between school and work. I have time for morning, afternoon and night visits. I usually get out of work 830 the latest so medication will be able to be given before too late in the night In the client's home I would normally make sure I can see their pet at all times to guarantee no accidents happen on my watch. I also depending on the breed and personality of the dog will walk them or give them enrichment more often as needed.

13. Cecilia J.
“Cecilia is the most loving, nurturing & attentive Pet Caregiver! My Shadow, met her when I scheduled a girls weekend and he was too young to board. He was only 10 weeks old & he quickly took to her & he had the best time as she loved on him everyday. She shared videos periodically of their playtime, his nap time & feeding time just to keep me posted on his visit. I would recommend her due to her professional & her amazingly huge heart for animals filled with so much love.”

15. Skylar H.
“S has been my best friend for two years, and I trust her with my own life. She is extremely outgoing and friendly with everyone she meets including their pets. She has always loved my dog, Baby, and cares deeply for her own animals. Her dog, Molly, requires a lot of medical attention, and she is very knowledgeable with taking care of her. She always has a smile on her face and a lot of energy to be able to keep up with high-energy animals. She’s very attentive, caring, and loving to all types of pets.”


16. Lauren H.
“I cannot recommend Lauren enough. When I was diagnosed with stage 2 germ cell ovarian cancer, Lauren assisted with the care, protection, and enrichment of my senior cat. My cat, Sampson, who does NOT like strangers absolutely adores her. She pays attention to detail, communicates effectively, and has a drive and passion about her that is irreplaceable. Lauren watched Sampson four times a week over the course of two months and did not disappoint once. She provided a quality of care that is professional and familial. If you have been searching for the perfect animal caregiver, look no further. Lauren is who you want.”
