1. Teri M.

“If you’re looking for a wonderful friend for your dog during these crazy pandemic times, look no further than Teri! Our girls love her to death, and she has been absolutely amazing during the quarantine, taking every safety precaution (gloves, shoe coverings, social distancing handoffs outside the house). We absolutely love Teri!”


2. Mali A.

“Atlas loves his walks with Mali! He's a young dog with typical lab energy and needs guidance. She understands his need to sniff while setting boundaries for him.”


3. Jenna G.
“Jenna is an absolute lifesaver! We needed someone reliable and caring for our doggy, Goose, while we were out of town, and Jenna exceeded all our expectations. She kept us updated with sweet photos and little notes about her little antics, which made us feel so connected even while we were away.She clearly loves what she does and took care of every detail, from her feeding routine to making sure she got plenty of attention and playtime. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jenna to anyone—she’s the kind of sitter you can trust completely!”


4. Louise G.

“Louise is great! She takes extra care of our 60 lb pit /lab mix puppy. She is very knowledgeable of animal care and its very cognizant of individual pet needs. She’ll send you photos/videos of your pet upon request. Will be booking again soon!”


5. Persia N.

“I’m always nervous leaving my dog at a new place. And during the recent months we’ve been together pretty much 24/7! Persia made it so much easier. She took excellent care of Sadie, sent beautiful photos (she’s a pro!), and offered plenty of structured playtime and adventures! I will definitely work with her again.”


6. Tyson K.

“We feel lucky to have found Tyson! He was literally a life saver & walked our two medium sized doggies (one energetic puppy & one mellow senior) for the last three weeks, every day from Mon - Fri, 8am - 9am. He took our babies out walking around our neighborhood for at least 1.7-2+ miles each morning. Having Tyson walk our dogs was the best postpartum gift my husband & I got ourselves as we knew we wouldn’t have time to pay attention to our dogs as we took care of our first ever human baby, our newborn son who will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. Today was the last day Tyson walked our dogs, and we already know how much our dogs will miss him!! We highly recommend Tyson to anyone who wants a reliable, easygoing & warm person to walk their doggos & get their energy out. 10/10”

“Sarah was excellent! The dogs got a great walk each day. I will definitely schedule with her again!”

11. Mary L.
“Mary is first and foremost an animal lover of all types. She has a wonderful dog (Cutie) and cat (Derby) whom she has had for years and takes wonderful care of. She's thoughtful, caring and has attention to detail that is important in caring for animals. She's responsive and you will know that your pets are in the best hands with Mary.

About: Hi, I’m Giselle! I’m an educator with a deep love for animals, and I would be honored to care for your furry friends as if they were my own! Growing up with dogs, I’ve always been surrounded by animals, including raising a Labrador puppy and helping with a German Shepherd. Currently, I have an adorable kitten and dream of welcoming a dog into my family one day. I offer in-home visits, playtime, feeding, and dog walking, and I pride myself on being responsible, trustworthy, and communicative. You can count on me to keep you updated with my arrival and departure times, as well as accommodate any special requests you may have! With the holiday season upon us, I’m currently accepting last-minute requests! Since school is on break, I’ve got extra time to spend with your pets—what better way to enjoy my free time than by caring for your animals? Whether you need help with a quick walk or some extra playtime, I’m here to ensure your pets are well cared for and loved. I am available daily to do up to 2 visits to a home. I can also do dog walks during the morning and afternoon. Flexible I am available to go to your home and securely lock it when I leave making sure your pet is okay while you are gone!

15. Jordan B.
About: I have worked with dogs, cats and even birds since I was 7. Most of my experience has been with dogs and have trained and cared for newborns all the way to full grown dogs. I am a full time teacher of kiddos and the patience and kindness required form that experience definitely translates to working with animals. While summer begins I would like to spend more time with the pups so if you need help message me and lets see what I can do! As a full time teacher, I am fortunate to have summers off so my availability is very open. Just message and we can discuss what works best for both. II will not be housing pets and would prefer to care for your pets at your home. I think allowing the pets to stay in their homes is preferred but may take special requests if needed. I would like to have a walk through and understand areas your pet is allowed and not allowed and information about local parks and walk routes. Please provide dietary needs and eating schedule as well. I like to provide pics and updates to the owners a few times a day, Any questions, just ask!


16. Jacob R.
“I highly recommend Jacob as a pet caregiver! He is responsible, attentive, and truly loves animals. He is highly adaptive to each pet’s individual needs, whether it’s a specific feeding routine, extra playtime, or providing medication. Jacob always goes above and beyond to ensure my pets feel comfortable and cared for. I trust him completely and know my pets are in great hands with him. - Julian A.”


17. Elizabeth R.

“Huge thank you to Elizabeth for coming to walk Cleo on super short notice, and for following the contactless pickup instructions to a T. Even though Cleo was being a butt, we so appreciate Elizabeth’s help with the walk!”


18. Caitlin N.


“Cash got to tag along to a Charity walk today and he was so happy to be apart of it! Caitlin took great care of him and got some awesome pictures of Cash.”


19. Tanzina C.
“Tanzina was a great sitter! Espresso was in great hands and I would definitely use her services again. I got lots of videos and photos of Espresso being treated like a princess and when I picked her up, she didn’t want to leave. 5 stars! Tanzina is definitely becoming my go-to sitter when I travel.”

About: I have always loved cats and dogs and now love yours too, full time since August 2024. I have special intuition and skills regarding reading animals and their behaviors and will care for them and your home as if it were my own. *No aggressive dogs/cats or exotic cats* My work is very flexible with different income streams, this being one. I can and do choose carefully how to spend my time and on which project so I can enjoy the best of all worlds with your furry family members. I am generally gone at least several hours per day, and that all depends upon the commitment I make to you and your furry family. I can easily adjust time away depending on your/their needs which we agree upon in advance. Your home will be my home for a time we both choose, and you are expected to leave it clean and tidy for me to enjoy while you're away, an "AirBnb with pets". I will keep it just as clean and tidy when I leave, washing linens I used (when you have laundry machines or service available) and sometimes even washable rugs so you come home to a lovely space as you left it for me, without extra work to be done. That is my routine. I am not your housekeeper, but I do ensure to remove traces of me for the above reasons. I have traveled a good bit and understand just how awesome it is to come home to a clean space which doesn't require anything extra for me to feel cozy and at home, so I do that for you too, and people love it, as you can see with prior reviews on THS. I purchased my first home at 20, and a friend 20 years later referred to my home as Fort Knox. Haha I am just as careful in your sanctuary space.
