5. Blakely W.
“Blakely is amazing. She came to meet my girls before hand so they wouldn’t be scared when she came to look after them. The little report card that came after her visit was so informative and let me know my girls felt very comfortable with her.”
6. Kelly D.
“Kelly is awesome! She is patient, kind, trustworthy, and thoughtful. Our dog loves her and is given much needed exercise while we’re at work. She treats our dog as her own and we are so thankful for her help!”
7. Danielle P.
“Danielle has cared for my toy poodle, Baboo on 3 long vacations and a few short stints. It's easy to see that Danielle loves animals, as she will knit with three cats on her lap and a dog at her side. One of the best ways to tell if someone's doing it right is to watch Baboo. Baboo gets VERY excited EVERY time she realizes she is going there. (I've had other caregivers that made Baboo whine almost all the way there.) Danielle's animals are well socialized and get along with Baboo. She has plenty of room for any dog to play inside or outside. Danielle is my first go to for my pets.”
8. Alyshia-Jane M.
“Alyshia Jane is a very good communicator and responds quickly to messages. She is great with our farm animal's and everything went smooth as expected during the visits. 👍”
9. Ornina S.
“I have the privilege of being married to an incredible woman who has an unparalleled love for animals. Watching my wife care for our pets and those of our friends and family has been nothing short of inspiring. She is gentle, patient, and treats every animal as if it were her own. One of the many things I admire about her is her attention to detail—she takes the time to learn about each pet’s needs, preferences, and quirks. Whether it’s walking a high-energy dog, feeding a picky cat, or providing comfort to an anxious pet, she handles everything with grace and compassion. I’ve seen her spend hours playing with pets, ensuring they feel loved and cared for, even when their owners are away. I can confidently say she has a natural gift for this and would be an outstanding pet sitter. Anyone who entrusts their furry friends to her can rest assured that they’re in the best hands possible.”
10. Amelia G.
“Amelia is a good person who loves animals. She has taken care of my cats (6) and two dogs several times. I would definitely use her again.”
11. Jonathan G.
“Very happy with Jonathan. He is very conscientious, and kind to Athena, my cat.”
12. Melody F.
“Melody is awesome! She’s always reliable, punctual and I trust her to care for my 11-year-old corgi when I’m working long days or away from home. She’s communicative, polite and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a sitter or walker for your pets. 😊 Don’t know what I’d do without her help!”
13. Brittany R.
About: I have experience with many different size and breed dogs. We always had pets in the house growing up. We have a beautiful 2.58 acre property away from the main road to provide a safe and large space for your pet to vacation! I am a stay at home mom to twin toddlers who love animals. This provides me the availability to care for animals during the day/night. We have a large portion that is not fenced in but is just as safe. We are pretty far from the main road with other houses in between.
14. Bailey A.
“Bailey took great care of my boys. She’s very caring and provides quick updates. Highly recommended!”
15. Sarah L.
“I’ve booked Sarah to house sit for my high energy, stubborn pit mix named Dani and have always had a top-notch experience. Sarah is great at communicating with me and always sends lots of pictures to give me peace of mind that Dani is well taken care of! I highly recommend Sarah for all of your pet care needs.”
16. Annie H.
“Annie is a wonderful loving caring person... she loves animals.. she always care for my dog when I got out of town for weeks. I trust her with my dog.. and I have never had any issues with her caring for my dog coco..”

“Allanna was great before, during, and after the visits. She took great care of our pups and her communication was excellent. Thanks!”
18. Kareen C.
“Kareen was great! She came through at the very last minute. Respectful, professional, kind, and caring, she did an amazing job caring for my sweet Bobbie. It was so nice to receive the updates on how she was doing. I will most definitely use her again!!”
19. Jullia Z.
About: I’ve grow up with animals my whole life. Dogs, cats, fish and plants. I currently have a 3 year old golden retriever. I’m a server but I’m looking for a part time gig to make some extra cash. I work 3 days out of the week so I would have time to walk and spend time with your pup! I have Sundays and Mondays free and two other days out of the week depending on my schedule. I live in an apartment with my dog, Loki. My neighborhood is perfect for walking dogs safely. I can only board well behaved, potty trained dogs that don’t mind the company of another pup.
20. Kami P.
“Kami was fantastic with my doggos! They gave her a little trouble and she handled it so well. My babies loved her and were well taken care of, I would be comfortable seeking Kami out again for future needs.”
