“Absolutely amazing with my animals, even when my young cat was being a trouble maker and hiding in the basement.”
2. Bethanie P.
“Bethanie was just perfect and so caring with my overly active puppy. I was able to get out and escape the puppy blues knowing my puppy was well cared for.”
3. Jennifer B.
“Jennifer was very accommodating and flexible to open up a few days for Memorial Day weekend. She was able to do the Meet and Greet the next day after our initial contact.”
4. Sydnee P.
“Sydnee is a lifesaver! We were 14 hours from home, day one of our vacation, when another sitter decided she just couldn’t watch our dog Murphy anymore. Sydnee happily agreed to come to our rescue even though she had never even met Murphy. I didn’t worry at all for the rest of our vacation, knowing the Murphy was being taking care of by Sydnee. She loved on him and took care of him like he was her own dog while we were gone. I would hands down recommend Sydnee to anyone in need of someone to watch over their fur babies while they are gone!”

7. jasmine s.
“I’ve known Jasmine for as long as I can remember, and one thing that’s always stood out to me is their incredible love and care for animals. Growing up together, I saw how she always took the time to care for our pets—whether it was playing with them, feeding them, or even caring for their health needs. They’ve always had this natural ability to connect with animals in a way that not many people do. Over the years, I’ve watched Jasmine raise puppies and kittens with such patience and attention to detail. Their kindness and dedication to pets are unmatched. She always goes the extra mile, whether it’s ensuring a pet gets plenty of exercise, following specific care instructions, or providing them with love and companionship. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet, I can’t recommend Jasmine enough. They treat every animal with the utmost care and respect, and I have no doubt your pet will be in excellent hands with them.”

9. Raul R.
About: What sets me apart is my ability to train puppies and provide specialized senior care. I focus on the unique needs of dogs at different life stages to ensure they receive the best possible care. Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine by making sure I set aside specific times for feeding, walking, training, and play. This helps keep pets happy, healthy, and well-adjusted. When caring for pets at home, I make sure to have set times for feeding, walking, training, and play. If it's at a client's home, I follow their specific instructions and try to keep the pet's usual schedule to make them comfortable.
10. Kiana O.
“Kiana was great! Communication was great and she provided updates frequently. Dogs and home were in great condition upon our return.”
11. Mckala V.
“McKala has been the best pet watcher I've had in a while. My dog, Atlas, absolutely adores her walks and has even learned some tricks. I wouldn't trust anyone more.”
12. Valeria M.
“Valeria is very professional. She shows up on time and works the whole time she is scheduled. My dog enjoys when she comes over and is excited to see her. I would recommend Valeria. She does a great job!”
13. Bethany K.
About: I have trained our household dogs since I was 10, and taken care of others’ dogs since I was 12. I love walking them, playing with them, and just making sure they are comfortable even when their owner isn’t around I am a self-employed hairdresser, so my hours are very flexible. I love spending as much time as I can with my own animals, and meeting other people’s would just be a perk to my spare time! In my own home, I care for my cat and dog, feeding and watering them, along with providing them with grooming care and exercise. I clean the litterbox daily, and clip both my cat and dog’s toenails. I’ve had to clean plenty of messes, and while it’s not enjoyable for anyone, I won’t shy away from it by any means.
14. Tristan B.
“Tristan has a background as a zookeeper, and brings that care to his own pets and every animal he meets. He has experience with mammals, reptiles and birds, as well as exclusively utilizes positive reinforcement training. No animal intimidates him and no pet is too specialized for his skill set.”
15. Kassandra L.

16. Brynne T.
About: I’ve taken care of my two Labs ever since I was 6 years old, (i’m 21 now) and have been dog sitting and cat sitting the past four summers!! Also I have worked in a vet clinic the past four years as well. I have the special skill of administering medication! I’m currently working part time at the vet clinic in the afternoons and it’s only 2-4 days a week usually. I can dog walk or pet sit in my free time during the day and on weekends. Possibly for a week or so. I unfortunately cannot watch them in my own home due to not having a good yard for them because it has a pool and not much area to run around. And also my dads allergies. I would have to watch them in your home.
17. Regan R.
“Regan has house sat and watched our dog so many different times, there are too many count! She is friendly and loves all animals (and they love her too)! You can relax while your pet is in her care, she will love them like they are hers! Our dog still gets excited whenever she is around (I think he secretly loves her more than us)! Hire Regan, you won’t be sorry!!”
18. Devin J.
“Even after finding out her gpa had passed away, she still took care of our Buddy while we were gone. That is a huge character builder. Thanks so much Devin.”
19. Madelaine P.
“When I went out of town I had Maddie come over to my house to help with feeding and walking my dog. She took great care of him while I was away. I even have her walk my dog and feed him when im late at work. She is a very caring and trustworthy person. I always come home to a happy healthy pet.”
20. Roy J.
“Roy was excellent with my two doggies! He gave them lots of love, treats, playtime and attention. He sent pictures and funny little texts about what they were thinking in the picture. Just like our family does! Hehe! I hope to book him on our next adventure!”
