Leo always makes sure to keep us updated on our dogs and has been very reliable. Highly, highly recommend Leo to watch your fur babies!”

8. Emily & Lex M.
About: I have had dogs since I was 8 years old and I truly enjoy all the warmth and love a dog brings into a home. I have taken in senior dogs (10+) over the years and had extensive experience with blind, and deaf senior dogs. I have experience with incontinence, mobility issues, special dietary needs, medication injections, and palliative care. I also have experience with young puppies (under 6 months) along with experience doing dog training with my own dogs throughout my life. Both me and my husband have transitioned to remote work so we are home throughout the day, which is excellent for senior dogs who need extra care. I have a partially fenced in yard and live close to several hiking trails. Depending on your dogs needs, the amount of time between potty breaks can be adjusted as well as the amount of exercise given throughout the day. Dogs are all fed separately while water is available at all times. I do have a 3 year old rat terrier (19 pounds) who loves any and all dogs she meets - she has been around many senior dogs.

11. Alyssa U.
“Alyssa did such a wonderful job. She took great care of George and even brought in some packages that were on the front step. Will definitely hire her again.”
12. Eryn W.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Eryn as a pet caregiver. Her genuine love for animals is clear in every interaction—she is patient, responsible, and incredibly attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medications, or just spending quality time playing and bonding, Eryn treats every pet like their own. I’ve seen firsthand how animals respond positively to her calm, caring presence. You can count on her be dependable, trustworthy, and dedicated to providing the highest level of care. Any pet would be lucky to have them!”
13. Elizabeth S.
“Liz has cared for our dog, 3 cats and chickens several times over the past few years. The animals love her and feel very comfortable with her at home. She is a great pet and house sitter. She communicates regularly with updates and I trust that they are safe and looked after while we are away.”

“Lindsay is AMAZING! She takes excellent care of my fur-babies and treats them like her own. She has done overnights a couple times for me and my friends (who also rave about her level of responsibility and maturity) and she stops in occasionally for potty breaks when I’m away. She is an animal lover to the core and a kind hearted person who will be the best sitter, walker friend you’ve ever had! You can go wrong with Lindsay!”
19. Rachel G.
