“There aren’t enough words to say how wonderful Matthew was! I couldn’t recommend someone more to watch your pets, as he truly treats them as if they were your own. He provides constant updates and photos. He even had to deal with someone knocking down a power line in my front yard and getting it fixed. He kept the dogs calm and at ease while all of it was taken care of! I look forward to booking with him again!”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life, from cats and dogs to fish, horses, rabbits, and chickens! About six years ago, my family's Shih Tzu, Coco, unexpectedly passed away at the age of 16, despite being in good health. I've also cared for other senior dogs, providing attentive care including administering medications and changing diapers. I don’t have a lot of puppy experience, but my parents adopted a dog named Dexter four years ago, and I helped with potty training and taught him a few tricks! I work full-time from home, but there are days when I have to go into the office. On those days, my husband, Josh, stays home with our cat, Mochi, so your pet will never be left alone! Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive and loving pet care. I stick to your pet’s daily routine, ensuring they’re well-fed, exercised, and comfortable. I also keep their environment clean and secure, and I stay in touch with regular updates to keep you informed and reassured.

I’m currently a SAHM with an 8 month old. We usually go for a walk daily unless it’s too hot. I’d love to care for your pet! My husband, child and I have two dogs of our own, so we understand the care needed to watch over our beloved animals! We are very flexible with whatever your pets needs are!

16. Sarah S.
“Sarah is a loving, responsible dog lover! We have 2 special needs dogs and cats and Sarah is loving and patient with all of them. A true animal lover, she has gone above and beyond providing loving care.

She will take great care of your babies and you will feel confident being able to be away!”

18. Patty A.
“We recently had the pleasure of having Patty as our dog sitter for our two pets while we were away for an event over two days, and we couldn't be more pleased with her service. Patty was absolutely amazing with our dogs. She kept us up to date with regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Not only did she take excellent care of their basic needs, but she also kept them entertained and happy throughout her stay. It was evident that she truly loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. We highly recommend Patty to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter!”

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.

“Theresa has helped look after my B-doggy for almost a year. You won't find a more compassionate animal lover! She treats her furry friends like they are her own children and B-dog loves his Theresa!”
