1. Amanda K.
“Amanda has helped me in the last few months with my retriever! She is always on time and ready to help out on short notice when I ask! She takes my dog on walks, to the bathroom, plays with her, and keeps her company while I am gone. I am so thankful she has been able to help me out and make my dog feel loved while I am away!”

“She has taken care of my pups a couple times and most of my bookings were booked last minute. Madison is SO nice and friendly. She will make sure she does what is asked and she adores my fur babies!

10. Eszter B.
“Eszter and Hanni have watched our dog, cats, house, daughter, everything! I trust them with the things that are most important to me and I know they always take good care of my fur babies when I'm out of town. Sometimes my dog and cats don't even care that I'm home because they've gotten so much love and attention while I'm away. Eszter and Hanni are the best!”

17. Kiayuan B.
About: I have helped many of my family members train their dogs when they got them from when they were puppies. I am also patient and level headed so if an animal tends to not cooperate, I can find a way to connect with them. I am in college, but when I am home during breaks and over the summer, I have plenty of time for pet care in my daily routine. I have a safe clean home so your pet will enjoy the environment. I have a chain in my yard so that your pet will be safe when outside to use the bathroom. No matter how tall or short your pet is I am able to adjust their food area to the size of their liking.


18. Regan G.
About: Since high school, I have been entrusted with caring for dogs belonging to family friends. My experience includes dog sitting, walking, pampering, and playing. I have consistently received praise for the love and attention I give to every dog I care for. Despite not having a dog of my own growing up, my love for dogs remains strong. I am so excited to continue meeting new dogs and gaining more experience before welcoming my own furry friend into my life! I am a collegiate student-athlete and practice every morning from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. I am open for service anytime between my classes! On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I have classes from 9:30 a.m. to 10:20 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 2:20 p.m. On Tuesday, I have classes from 9:55 a.m. to 11:10 a.m., 3:30 p.m. to 4:45 p.m., and 6:45 p.m. to 8 p.m. On Thursday, I have classes from 9:55 a.m. to 11:10 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 5:50 p.m. I will create a nurturing and comfortable environment for the dogs under my care. I will make sure they stay hydrated and take any necessary breaks during walks. Additionally, I will ensure they are comfortable and settled in before I leave drop-in visits. I understand how important trust is when caring for pets and entering someone’s home. Therefore, I will treat both your dog and home with the utmost respect and care as if it were my own!


19. Matthew R.

“Matthew is a sweetheart and Teddy took to him immediately! Great communication and easy to work with. Will definitely reach out again, even for an overnight!”


20. Alexandra K.

“Alexandra is our pup’s new best friend. It’s only been a week so far and he loves when she comes over to walk him midday! She’s so sweet with our little man!”
