1. Patricia U.
“Trish stepped in when our usual dog walker wasn’t availed for the week. Trish was great with our two dogs. Our German Shepherd tends to pull and our Chihuahua tends to lag behind, but Trish handled them both with such patience. We will definitely be using Trish any time we need a fill in.”
2. Victoria C.

“Pamela has been a remarkable blessing for our family and our three beloved dogs, Jack, Dan, and Pete. Her professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals were evident from the start. She handled Jack's energy, Dan's cautious nature, and Pete's nervousness with exceptional care. Pamela's detailed updates and photos after each walk gave us peace of mind. Her reliability, punctuality, and dedication made her an integral part of our lives. We wholeheartedly recommend Pamela to anyone seeking a compassionate, skilled, and dependable dog walker.

11. Mckenzie F.
About: Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile! I have over 10+ years of experience in working with both cats and dogs. I had my golden retriever Jake, for 15 years, and I currently have a cat named Lulu who is 9 years old. I have previous experience in working with both cats and dogs who have required care. This included checking in on them as well as feeding, walking and playing with them. I really love animals and love that every pet has their own unique personality. I know that animals always bring a smile to my face, and it is my goal that I can return the favor and make them happy as well. I would love to have the opportunity to care for your fur baby!
12. Danielle F.
About: Being around and taking care of dogs since we were born, we are very comfortable around animals. As a nurse I have a varied work schedule, and on my days off love to be outside going for walks and hikes! Sal is an engineer and musician who loves to play with and walk big dogs! My work schedule varies, so when off of work I have plenty of time to walk dogs and stretch my legs after a long week of hospital shifts! Sals schedule is more consistent throughout the week, so he can provide better opportunities for repeat clients. Walking at a park or area nearby on leash only that’s well lit will be a priority. We will make sure your pets are returned home safe and sound.
13. Joanna S.
About: I've had tortoises, birds of all kinds, fish, ducks, chickens, cats, and of course dogs. I am a nurse and a dog mom myself. You can always count on me for updates and plenty of photos as well as always knowing what to do in an emergency. I have given meds to every single animal I've had including shots. I obviously have no issues with blood, needles, accidents, or vomit and am a patient person. I grew up with a family dog that was ultimately the coolest dog to have ever lived and have had to deal with personal training and reactivity as well. I have taken care of others' animals as long as I remember and I'd love to continue to do so, while giving you peace of mind with your pet. Although I work full time, I am available most days as I have been working from home often. With my own dog, I will make sure that your animal is a priority, just as I would want my own pet to be if I were away and of course, photos are a MUST because we all know how photogenic our furry friends are. I will try to recreate the same environment that your pet is used to so they feel comfortable. Lots of love and safety is of course the key as well! If you have a normal routine that works for your pet, let me know and I will do my absolute best to accommodate whether it be in my own home or yours.

About: I love both dogs and cat and am happy to take care of either. I’ve pet sat for friends and family many times over the years. I’m comfortable with all size dogs, especially growing up with giant breeds. I am very comfortable giving medications as well as any special requirements needed. I am currently working part time, only 3 days a week. I have tons of free time to keep your furry friends company. Days/nights are open for walking/sitting I treat the animals that I sit for as if they were my own pet. Animals are family members and should be cared for as such!
15. Debbie P.
“Debbie was a kind and considerate companion to our fearful little dog. Our dog is scared of new people and over the course of just few visits, our dog warmed up to Debbie. Debbie respected Bear’s boundaries and earn her trust in no time. We can’t thank you enough, Debbie!!!”
16. Hannah C.
“Hannah would be the best pet caregiver because of her experience working with a variety of animals and her nurturing personality. She has personally cared for my pet and I could not have asked for a better person. She provided day by day picture updates and made sure my pet was well cared for. Hannah loves animals and is very responsible when it comes to caring for them. I could not think of a better caregiver for my animal. : )”
17. Jessica G.
“Jessica is a wonderful person to have petsit, walk your dogs, or simply great just to let them outside. She has cared for many animals throughout the years including my two Labradors and my Pitbull. She is very friendly and passionate about animals. There is no better choice than to choose Jessica as your pet sitter!!!”
18. Jaclyn C.
“We are so happy that we found Jaclyn to board our high-energy rescue dog on a short notice for a weekend trip. Not only was Jaclyn able to accommodate our last-minute request, but she also took the time to talk with me in detail about our dog's needs. She asked great questions to ensure that our dog will be safe and comfortable in their family's home. When your dog stays with Jaclyn, expect lots of updates and peace of mind knowing that your dog is in good hands. Your pup will be treated with love and become fully immersed with her family during his/her stay. Our dog, Rossi, got to play with her dog Cammie and her kids in their backyard and went on plenty of neighborhood walks. As a pandemic pup and working full-time from home, we know our high-energy dog can be a lot of work and is a little "needy" at times, however, Jaclyn and her family cared for him without any problems. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for responsible and reliable pet care.”
19. Llianne D.
“To whomever may read this, Llianne would make a great pet sitter/walker. She is very responsible and extremely trust worthy. She is also attentive and will give your pets the care and attention they deserve in your absence. Llianne is pet mom and a huge cat and dog lover! I couldn’t think of a better person for this line of work.”
20. Karen C.
“I have know Karen for a very long time. Her dedication to animals is truly unmatched. She is a caring person that would do anything in her power to better the life of a dog. I would, and have, trusted her with my fur babies.”
