1. Anastasiya K.
“Anastasiya took our girl Charlotte (5 year old Shepsky) for walks while my wife and I went out of town for 4 days. Charlotte can pull from time to time while walking, Anastasiya handled the walks like a pro. She took excellent care of our pup. She was punctual, affordable, dependable, communicated well and went above and beyond for our girl. She will be who we use anytime we go out of town! Thanks Anastasiya!”

About: I have worked in animal shelters. I have rescued stray and abused animals and helped located their owners and if I couldn't I kept them until they were ready to find a home. I am currently taking college courses to become an animal cop I want to continue to save the abused and neglected animals. I treat my pets like family. I have helped animals including babysitting in my home and at the residents for 18 years. I have worked at the animal shelter and volunteered there. My passion for animals has never changed. My kids also love animals. They have sat and watched animal cops with me and they say to me mommy we need to help them they need a family. It's sweet seeing my kids feeling the same passion as I do. I am a stay at home mom I do babysit kids during the week. I make sure all dogs get exercise while in my home. I have one 12 year old dog I allow all the animals to free roam unless I start seeing some aggression then I do separate bathroom times and things.

18. Mekessia D.
About: I am passionate about the welfare of animals and very keen when it comes to being a voice for them. The time, patience, and dedication required to not only care for but train our pets can be too much for the busy and fast-paced lifestyle many of us live nowadays. I'd love to be of service to those wanting to make sure their dog(s) gets the time and attention they want and need. I have the most experience with Medium/Large/XL dogs. Koda, who is a bully breed, has been everything to our family for almost 6 years. He is by far the most well-behaved and friendly dog I have ever experienced. The general breeds I have the most experience with are Bully breeds, Collies, Great Danes, and Mastiffs.
