1. Art S.
“Art is great with my 4-year-old Labrador, Hanna! When I have extra-long work days, I can rely on him to keep her regular mid-day routines in place, and know he'll be patient and encouraging so that Hanna does her "business" while out on their walks. It is a relief to know I can trust my girl with Art. :) He is conscientious about sharing the details of their walks, so that I can have peace of mind and know she is in good hands. :) I highly recommend Art!”

4. Travis C.
“Travis has started walking our 2.5 year old husky mix Apollo twice a week and we will be using Travis for future care as well when we are out of town. Apollo loves him and we get pictures of their walks. Travis is always respectful of my home and really prioritizes my fur baby. He is always on time if not early and excellent at communicating if he has questions or needs anything. I fully trust him with our baby and am so thankful he is here to help us out!”

“Attentive, detailed, and caring. I trusted Alex with my little pup, Nala and he did an amazing job for 3 days. Nala loved every second if her Walk and he even brought water and treats (even asked I'd it was OK and any allergies)too. Plenty of pictures included. Would highly recommend and WILL hire again.”
7. Amanda S.
“I am writing to recommend Amanda for pet sitting services. During the time Amanda has cared for my dog, I’ve been consistently impressed by her genuine love for animals and attention to detail. She provides exceptional care, ensuring my dog is well-fed, exercised, and receives plenty of attention and affection. I truly appreciate the regular updates Amanda provides, including photos and messages, which always reassure me that my dog is happy and well cared for. Amanda is very dependable, always arriving on time and following any specific instructions I leave, whether they pertain to feeding schedules or special care needs. For anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter, I highly recommend Amanda Schatz without hesitation!”

“Michelle is very responsible and a proven star pet mom of three wonderful kitties. I have known her for several years and she is one of the most responsible people I know. She pays tenacious attention to detail and is ever aware of everything going on around her. She'd make a great pet sitter.”

10. Vivian G.
About: I have provided pet care for family and friends through the years, your fur baby will gets lots of snuggles and exercise in this household I currently work part time only 4-5 hours a day, so I am home most of the day with my own fur baby and kids. I have a back patio area in my unit where my dog goes out and play, and potty breaks. Your fur baby will have free roam space in my apartment.
11. Suzanne M.
“Suz was so great! Super quick to respond, kept me updated and provided tons of photos - our pup was so happy with her walk. Will be connecting with her again for another walk - and would highly recommend!”
12. Sophia C.
“Sophia is great! She’s taken care of my baby Dante (well he's my baby, but actually a larger Border Collie-Aussie Mix) 4 times now whenever I'm pressed with work and I know I can't dedicate enough time with him! He absolutely loves her and looks forward whenever she drops in or swings by to pick him up. He is generally initially reactive to new faces, so it's really great that Sophia has such a calming presence with dogs (and I'm sure with cats as well). I will always look forward to working with Sophia time and time again!”
13. Lucy K.
“Lucy is a fantastic person! I was first hooked by her impeccable profile and appreciated her attention to detail. It turned out she was just as fantastic in person. Lucy is very easy going and willing to do what's needed to make sure your pet is safe and well taken care of. She asked very good questions at our meet-and-greet, which showed that she's experienced. She gave a great summary of the walk and even counted all of Kirby's pit stops! Most of all, I felt confident that Kirby was in good hands and didn't have to worry at all, which is something that every pet parent is looking for. I couldn't ask for a better walker, and I will absolutely book with Lucy again when we need her services in the future!”
14. Yusuke Y.
“Yusuke is the best! He is great friend with my dog ( a 3-year-old always energetic doodle) and cats. He is always so patient and nice to my fur babies. He likes to play with them and knows how to train or provide instructions if needed. If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies, he will be your best choice!”
15. Gary G.
“Gary was great! He helped me out with a last minute dog walk request. Gary has now walked my puppy several times now and she is exhausted when I get home. I have appreciated his flexibility and willingness to help out in a moment’s notice! Skye seems to love him and feels very comfortable around him!”
16. Vanessa G.
“Vanessa was very professional and overall was great with my dogs. She asked more questions than I was expecting, which I especially appreciated as it demonstrates that she wants to do the best job for my dogs. She also responds very quickly and thoroughly. I'm a very picky person when it comes to my dogs and I feel like she was an excellent choice. I highly recommend doing a meet & greet.”
17. Gabby R.
“Gabby, is such a dog lover she is very good with her dogs she constantly looking out for their needs including their health. She takes the time to play and walk her dog and even makes their food daily; just like her own children she always watching out for their health and safety. Gabby took care of my dog for a month when I moved. When I returned I saw how happy my dog was with her family, I knew in my heart if I took her she wouldn't be as happy, and once I told Gabby that she didn't hesitate she said "if you feel she is happier with me then I will keep her". It broke my heart to give up my dog but I traveled so much. I would go visit Corona, she was so happy Gabby was her Mom, that I could never be to her.”

20. Lucia H.
“Lucia puts heart and soul into care for pets! They have had years of experience with their own pets, and quickly became the neighborhood go-to person for pet care. They follow all owner instructions closely, are very communicative and responsive to any questions or concerns, are adaptable to changing circumstances, and love to love your pets! Lucia is also a great photographer, so know you'll have some great shots of your furry friends while you are away. I highly recommend Lucia!”
