8. Janie J.
About: My dad was a police officer when I was younger, and he'd always bring home every stray dog that he got a call about or found. So I've been around dogs my whole life. I've helped take care of them & I absolutely love dogs! My family has 5 right now, and there hasn't been a time we haven't had one. There's not a breed I'm afraid of, and I'm very patient & understanding with any dog I meet. I'll follow any rules or restrictions you have & your dog will most certainly be taken care of & loved. One of my dogs is super protective over me so he can be unpredictable sometimes when other dogs are in his house and/or around me. He usually relaxes pretty quickly after taking some time to get used to them. We also have 4 cats at our house. I primarily help my mom take care of my brother with disabilities so he comes first, but that does mean my schedule is usually open and pretty flexible I will follow whatever rules and routines you have in place, and will take the best care of your fur baby(ies). They will be loved on and treated like my own! I do have a spacious fenced in backyard and 5 dogs - not personally lol, only 1 is actually mine, the rest are family's. I also have 4 cats that like to be outside most of the time, but not in the fence so take that into account if your baby(ies) will need to stay with me
9. Olivia & Kyle S.
“Olivia was great with my two dogs Drake & Flo! She kept me updated on how they were doing while I was out of town. She loved on them like they were her own pups! So thankful that I have someone I can trust to watch over my fur babies! Thanks Olivia!”
10. Jonathan G.
“Jonathan was great!! Winston loves him I will definitely use him again and I will recommend him to anyone that’s looking for a dog walker or someone to watch their dog”
11. Bailey A.

Additionally, Bailey's communication skills are top-notch, keeping pet owners informed and updated on their pets' activities and well-being. Overall, Bailey's dedication and professionalism make her an exemplary dog sitter who is highly recommended by satisfied pet owners.”
12. Anna M.
“Anna watched my 12 year old boxer Duke. He’s full of energy still and loves to go on long walks but is a cuddle bug. Anna took care of Duke for a week and took him on 2 walks a day that were a mile each. She loved on him and treated him as her own baby. I will definitely be contacting Anna in the future for help!”
13. Jasmine M.
“Jasmine was wonderful when taking care of my dog Camila. She fed, bathed, and took her on walks. Camila would be so excited and she’s normally anxious with other people which is great. When it comes to small dogs it takes a while to get comfortable with people but with Jasmine she was comfortable with.”
14. Kami P.
“My dog Destiny is some what hesitant around strangers. She went straight to Kami. On time and very professional with an obvious love for animals. Will definitely hire again in the future.”
15. Madilyn M.
“Madilyn has a passion for dogs caring for all of them. She has experience with dogs in many capacities and has shown her care toward all dogs everytime.”
16. Allanna V.
“She has such a wonderful heart for animals. I'd venture to say she loves them far more than people. She has a real understanding with pets of almost any kind, and she's owned just about every kind of animal under the sun. I know she would care for your pets just as much as she'd care for her own.”
17. Lorie T.
“Lorie is the biggest dog lover I’ve ever met in my life. She has a special love for pit bulls! She’s been doing out reach and foster care for 15 plus years. And the Dogs that never find a home, ended up staying with her. I would trust her completely with my dog and in fact have called and asked her advice related to my dog several times. She loves dogs (animals for that matter) and would do great caring for them.”
18. 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.
19. Madalyn S.
About: Hi! My name is Madalyn and I love your pet already. From taking care of fish, hamsters, cats, dogs, horses, goats, and more, I have a wide set of skills and abilities that I will use to make sure your pet feels the most loved and cared for they possibly can. I understand how important your pets are to you, as an animal lover myself. I have a flexible schedule and will communicate directly with you to fully understand your needs. The love to love on your fur babies and make the process as smooth as possible for you. I can also care for farm animals (although the option isn’t listed on this app), as I have several years of experience in that area as well. Please contact me soon so that I can meet you and your baby. I currently have completely open availability for your pet sitting needs. I am open and available to work weekends, nights, week-long trips, etc. I am often available to accommodate you last minute as well. Reach out and let’s make it work! :) I take a pet-specific approach to each opportunity I am given. I like to “get on their level” and learn what makes them most comfortable. As a long time per owner myself, I know that what may work for one furry friend, might annoy another. Each dog, cat, reptile, hamster, and anything else you can think of (yes, even fish!) has their own personality and quirks. That’s what makes pets so special. I also like to communicate very directly with the owner in regards to their desires when taking care of their pets. After all, you know best.
