“Thanks for the awesome service and care to my two big dogs throughout 3 days that I was away. First time leaving my dogs at home verses boarding, and thanks to your communication and commitment it was perfect!”
“Jacque is reliable, flexible with our schedule, and a great communicator. Having Jacque as part of Yeti’s support team is such a comfort and Yeti isn’t stressed waiting for me to come home at the end of the workday.”

“Good Afternoon... I have known Hannah and her family for 17 years. She and her family have always been "pet parents". I believe that Hannah would prove to be a wonderful, compassionate and trustworthy caregiver for all pets! I am happy to recommend Hannah for employment with your company. Sincerely, Lisa Darr”
“Kimberly was awesome. She showed up in time (Even 5 minutes earlier) and she made sure to do everything that she could for my dog. Will definitely contact her again.”
About: I’ve been passionate about animals my whole life and can frequently be found with the hosts’ pets at most get togethers. My experience has been with numerous dog breeds from chihuahuas and rat terriers to pitties, Rottweilers, and German Shepherds, and I’m currently “mom” to a 7 year old rescue GSD named Maddie. I’m happy to help out whether it’s with potty breaks and playtime, a walk around the neighborhood, check ins for food and cuddles or whatever else your fur baby may need. I’m currently home full time, so I’m more than happy to stop in for a morning check in or walk with your babies (8-11am), afternoon potty break (12-2pm), or dinner (5-7pm). While caring for your pets in your home I like to follow their norm as closely as possible. If there are certain routines you normally follow (ex: they always get a cookie after they go potty), preferred routes your dogs like to take on walks or specific quirks your pets have, please let me know an I will follow them to the best of my ability.
“Great walk and playtime. Puppy took a good nap afterwards. Thank u rose! You guys were wonderful”
“If I could give 10 stars, I would! Alex was PHENOMENAL! He took care of my dog and took her on daily walks for almost 3 months. He was always punctual and was a great communicator. Always sent great pictures and always commented and left pictures on the report cards. Nova absolutely loved him and we will miss him greatly! If we come back to this area, will most definitely hit up Alex again. He is very trustworthy and any pet would be in great hands with him! Thanks again for everything! :)”
“I had a last minute work change and Austin was available when my other dog walker wasn’t. I worked an unscheduled double, Austin was there all day for my dog. Riot is very rambunctious so I’m glad that Austin and him had a great time together. Definitely will be scheduling more walks and time in the future, thanks again Austin ?”

“Pete is an excellent dog walker who had no issues handling our high energy lab who likes to pull. He was so kind and professional and checked in with us after each walk and arrived promptly each day - even in the rain and when a water break on our road caused a major traffic delay. We know our pup loved his walks with Pete. Highly recommend!”
“Mimi has cared for two of my pets and is so loved by all. She is warm , friendly and my pets get so excited when she comes. Mimi takes the dogs for walks , plays with them and gives the best runs. She is natural with animals ! Can’t say enough good things about this responsible pet sitter!”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was 10 years old, and it has always been my responsibility to take care of them. I love being around dogs and taking them out on walks. I’m currently unemployed until I go back to college for the spring semester, so I have a lot of time to dedicate towards providing quality pet care. That being said, I prefer working late mornings- late afternoon. I am respectful of the homes of others and always adhere to the wants and needs of customers. I am someone you can trust with your dog.
