8. Tricia P.

“Trisha graciously watched my 2 older dogs at the last minute in my home. She was an amazing houseguest, and was incredible with my visually impaired dog who requires various daily medications. My other grumpy dog took to Trisha immediately, which is remarkable as he can be stingy with his affection. Thank you Trisha and we all look forward to seeing you again soon.❤️”




9. Alexa C.
“Alexa has taken care of my dogs for several years. She is the most loving and caring person I have ever seen with a pet. She always makes sure their needs are being met. I don't know what we would do without her. My 2 dogs actually wait at the door for her, and cry when she leaves. If your looking for help with your pet there is nobody better!”

“Maria was absolutely amazing. She let me know how my dogs were all the time. Got right back to me when I reached out to check on them. Sent me pictures to reassure me that they were doing ok. This was the first time I ever had to leave my dogs with somebody that was not family and I was very nervous to start but Maria reassured me and made me feel very comfortable that my dogs were in good care and when I came home, they were happy and healthy.”


12. Amber V.

“Amber took great care of my dog Mocha. He gets very nervous when alone. She gave him plenty of attention and play time. Sent us pictures and kept me updated on how he was eating. I felt very comfortable letting her stay in our home. Will definitely be calling her again. Thanks Carol & Mocha”

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life from small animals to dogs and cats! I currently have 2 cats a brown tabby and black cat! They are spoiled lol!! I’m definitely trust worthy when it comes to others animals as i was relied on by friends and family through the years of taking care of many pets! I’m currently working at a restaurant as a hostess/ server and have most days off spending time with my cats and friends pets! I’m looking for a fun side job and just to help out others! I can care for any type of animal and be trusted! I know it’s hard to trust someone with the care of your animal so that’s why i’m here to help! I’m extremely experienced with dogs and cats and animals who are easy to take care of and sometimes tough aswell! From fully secure walks to food, water cleaning up after pets and cuddle time!

17. Rebekah C.
About: I have had dogs my whole life... I know that their Exercise is important and that they need a lot of space to run around and that they are very playful and loyal. I am an animal lover. They would get a lot of attention and exercise. And I would do my research on the breed of dog before taking on the job so I know what the breed of dog needs and how they act. I have mainly had pit bulls. Dogs I understand are mans best friend and I am willing to work with you and your pet and respect your rules and take care of your pets as they were my own. If anything please ask questions if you want to know more!

19. Alyssa S.
About: I’ve been in the dog/ cat sitting business for over 15 years with experience giving medications and taking care of your loved ones like my own. I have experience with puppies as well as senior pets. In-depth knowledge of animal care and training techniques. I’m currently working full time in the animal field and have pretty much a set schedule. I work early mornings and usually am home before 1pm everyday. I have a fenced in yard lots of property and one very friendly pup. I also would come to your home and watch your pet in their own environment.


20. Evan D.
About: Since I was young, one of my dreams was to be able to train a dog. At the young age of 9, I saved up some birthday money, and with the help of my parents I got my first puppy. From there, the story has written itself. I now have had 5 dogs, including one who is no longer here with us. My fur family currently consists of 2 Shihtzu’s , an Australian Cattle Dog, and a Mini Aussie. Needless to say, I love these animals and the joy they bring us everyday. They’ve always been such a big part of my life, and I’d be honored to care for yours with the same integrity! I am thoroughly educated and well versed in puppy training, and behavioral corrections. If my other services don’t pertain to your needs, this could be of interest! Pet care is already part of my daily routine so, adding another to the pack isn’t a hassle! My two pups keep me busy and on schedule, they’re fed around 8am, and again at 5pm. Aside from routine morning walks, they exercise for roughly 1.5hrs daily (depending on weather conditions). My home is smoke free, and pet welcoming. I have 4 amazing dogs (Mini Aussie, Australian Cattle Dog, and 2 Shitzus) that will happily keep your pup entertained! They are thoroughly trained and well mannered. If you have a pet that you don’t think will do well with this interaction, I will gladly chat with you to see if we can find a way to accommodate! I have a spacious, fenced-in, backyard area for you dogs to enjoy themselves!
