1. Danielle Y.
“Danielle was awesome with our dog and 3 cats while we were out of the country on vacation. She was prompt and detailed in her communication. The pets seemed to love her! She left the house nice and clean for us to come home to. She watered plants/new grass outside. She also sent us the MOST beautiful pictures of our pets. We would recommend Danielle to anyone!”

About: Hi! I've been a dog dad for over 30 years and know how important your fur baby is to you. I have experience with all different breeds, ages and levels of health. My promise is to focus on your dog's happiness and comfort level during their entire stay; further, I will follow all nutrition/medication needs, potty/feeding/play time/walking schedules, and will truly ensure they're loved and cared for just like they were my own. I’d greatly appreciate the honor of welcoming them into my home. You will receive frequent updates as much as you like. I recently lost my dog of 17 years. Now live alone, and have a strict one-dog policy, so yours will receive the individualized 24/7 attention they deserve. I work full-time from home, same employer for 20 years. I am available all seven days/nights for whatever attention your dog needs or wants, and any potty schedule your dog is accustomed to. I require little to 0 notice for booking or cancellations, and able to travel when needed. My house is on a quiet culdesac with no through traffic. The back yard is secure and completely fenced, very enjoyable space for your dog to play in. Dogs are welcomed on all furniture. Home is smoke-free. I can also travel to the client's home for all necessary dog sitting/walking services.

“Elizabeth did an excellent job with our 2 big dogs, for a 2-day out of town trip (on rather short notice). She kept us updated with videos, walked both of them and now has 2 new furry friends.”
4. Kinzley K.
“Kinzley has the biggest heart for animals (especially cats) than I have ever seen. Growing up she always had at least 2 cats at a time, (along with 2 dogs.) Being around animals brings her so much joy and it shows in the way she loves all the animals she encounters. She is very protective of her own animals and realizes many pets are considered family to their owners Because of this I would highly highly recommend Kinz to take care of and love your pets when you can’t be there to do it yourself.”

We’ll certainly reach out to Claire in the future when we need a sitter!”

“Alaina is amazing- responsible, kind, punctual, clean, communicative, understanding, flexible, the list goes on. She asked insightful, preemptive, questions instilling confidence from the get go. She communicated well throughout, providing me with peace of mind. Fritz loved his time with her! Cherry on top, she was beyond courteous of my home, leaving it cleaner than how she found it. She has all of my highest praise and recommendations!”
19. Charley C.
About: I've watched three dogs at home (now two) for three years, and I've watched two dogs from a different family off and on for a year. I have experience with senior dogs, one of my dogs lived to 19, and one of the dogs I sometimes dogsit is 13. During the summer, my schedule is very flexible, and there's a good chance I can make any time work if I have notice a few days ahead. I try to let dogs do what they usually do, and don't try to restrict them more then what you want me to. I am very meticulous on getting them out to potty every certain amount of hours.
20. Eric W.
“Eric is such a great person . He loves dogs and is so good and patient with them. He loves to walk, play, and spend time with them. I strongly recommend him.”
