“Had to spend several days away from my high-maintenance elderly Ella, and Kerstin managed her well. Came home to a happy and rested old girl, and I’m grateful!”
“Lai was amazing! My dog had so much fun with her and her kids. She texted me pictures and updates frequently and felt really good about leaving my dog in her care. Thank you so much!!!”
“Farrah was very punctual, and picked up on Kobe’s little routine right away. She has a vast knowledge of animals which shines thru. When I got home Kobe seemed very playful and happy, seems he had a good day.”
“Ashley was great with my dog Kit. She texted updates. He was very calm when I got home. I highly recommend her.”
“Wendy and AJ are the best! We’re so lucky to have had AJ watch over our dogs. We exchanged numbers so it was easy to communicate with AJ while he stayed at the house. We had some power outages due to the storm during his stay and he was helpful in make sure things were ok. They sent multiple pics and even feedback for how to make their next visit better for the dogs. I really appreciate the care they put into watching our dogs and home. I definitely recommend Wendy & AJ and will book them again in the future!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! We had the absolute pleasure of having Florene house sit and care for our dog Charlie, and she exceeded every expectation. From the moment we met her, she was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and professional. She didn’t just care for Charlie…she trained her, loved her like her own, and made sure she was happy, healthy, and engaged the entire time. Florene is truly like Mary Poppins for dogs. We can’t recommend her enough! She’s a rare gem!”

“Jill was wonderful with our high-energy girl and kept her company throughout the high anxiety time of the holiday. Can’t wait to work with her again.”
“Excellent, as always. Darlina takes perfect care of the zoo. All of our animals love her. She's exceptionally communicative and really helps us feel safe leaving our pets when we travel.”
About: I've been caring for my neighbor's dog for the past three years, and recently started caring for their second dog as well. I also enjoy dog walking, for myself and for the pups! I've learned to pay attention to how dogs are feeling with their body language, and I understand what it's like to care for a dog who might be a bit anxious. I'm excited to spend more time with dogs and provide them with a comfortable and enjoyable experience while they're in my care. I’m currently on my summer break from college, so I’ll be free most days except Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights. I’m excited to spend it by hanging out with dogs! I can sit and cuddle with your pup, or play games including some enrichment activities to make your pup feel happy and content. I love to walk and would be happy to take your pup for a walk around the block!
“Very happy with Amy. Great communication. Gives the dogs lots of snuggles. Even my super anxious dog warmed up to her quickly. Will definitely book again.”
“Joseph was great, sent lots of pictures and videos while he dog sat during our week vacation. Took our dog for walks, brought in our delivered packages and even took out the garbage!”
About: I have been surrounded by animals of all kinds, my whole life, I grew up on a farm as a child, and have assisted my grandpa and uncle with their hunting business. I am available Monday through Friday and weekends with notice. I currently train dogs for my professional job.

We currently have three dogs. One is a Rottweiler (female). One is a Rottweiler (male). And we also have a Rottweiler (female). They are very loving and caring dogs and would enjoy friends :).
“Patrick was an amazing pet sitter! He was great at sending me pics, texting me with questions and keeping me updated while I was away. We will definitely rebook Patrick!”
“Rich is extraordinary. We came home to calm and happy dogs -- and more! Rich gave us a few training tips and even advised us about how to care for our tomato plants! Our condo was immaculate. Most important, of course, he took great care of our dogs, giving them lots of care, attention, and exercise. Beyond all that, he is simply a kind, responsible, easy-to-talk-to person. We're thrilled to have found him. ”
“Sharon was excellent! She provided quick responses and treat our girl Riley as one of her own.”
“Our pets were obviously well looked after and our home was exactly as one would wish it to be 'clean and tidy' without anything at all out of place. We would certainly use her again in the future if she were free.”
“After my original sitter abandoned my pup Edward agreed to watch her for 1.5 weeks. He was sweet with her and sent many pics. 💓 We live in California. and we were in Florida when the original sitter just left. If Edward had not saved us we would not have been able to continue our vacation. I will definitely use his services again.”
