“Emily was a really great dog walker for our dog, during a week we couldn't do it - she was reliable and flexible and our dog walked very happily with her every time. We'd 100% recommend her.”
2. Haley F.
“Haley is caring and careful when it comes to taking care of my soon to be 12 year old corgi, Spooky. She reached out to let me know that spooky had had an accident and we discussed that spooky may have a UTI. Haley was all over it! Attempted to pick up the prescription and worked to do the best for Spooky. I’m so grateful. Spooky is healthy. Everything is fine. Thanks Haley!”

11. Ivanis L.
About: Animals are everything to me. Everyday I work with animals, Im a trained vet assistant who is in school to be a vet tech. I have fostered both young and old. If anything were to happen to your pets I can take them into my work place and discuss treatment over the phone. I work full time but my husband and I have every good schedule on letting out dogs. I also have a job that allows me to clock out to let them out midday. My animals are normal fed 7-9 am and 6-8 pm. My house is baby proofed as some of my babies are too smart for their own good. But I do have cameras to be able to see them and alarm systems. All of my pets have been around fosters of all shapes and sizes so pets coming into my home need to be comfortable with that.
12. Olivia G.
“I can tell Olivia really loves animals. She has always treated our cats with the utmost love and care for them. She tends to their needs and always makes sure to spend quality time with them. They love hanging out with her. We have an older cat and a younger cat. The younger one actually had seizures when he was little. She knew exactly what to do when he had one and also helped to give him his meds when needed. She also has always been able to keep them on their food schedules and has kept the litter boxes nice and clean! I would highly recommend Olivia, especially if you want someone that truly cares for your pets.”
13. Kimberlee E.
“I can't recommend Kim enough. She obviously loves dogs is very reliable and kept me informed often.”
14. Shelby D.
“Shelby is the most responsible girl I know. She is a super-loving dog mom, and I would fully trust her with my dog if I ever needed someone to watch him.”
15. Candice W.
“Thanks! I really appreciate -”

About: As a sitter, I strive to combine my love for the outdoors with personalized care for every dog. I’m getting back in shape by walking and jogging more often, and I’d love a four-legged companion to join me! Whether it’s a brisk jog for high-energy pups or a gentle walk for older companions, I tailor each outing to suit your dog’s needs. My focus is on ensuring dogs are not only exercised but also engaged, happy, and safe. Plus, I’m reliable, communicative, and excited to share my adventures with your pup! I prefer to go on walks and/or jogs in the morning, usually 8-11am, most days of the week just depending on my schedule. However, I am very flexible and willing to work with your schedule for afternoon or evening walks as well. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pets and the home with the utmost respect. I follow any specific instructions to ensure your pet's routine stays consistent and stress-free, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or play time. I specialize in dog walking, so your pup will get plenty of safe, refreshing outdoor exercise tailored to their needs. While in your home, I keep the space clean, secure, and exactly as you left it, ensuring you return to a happy pet and a tidy home. My goal is to provide peace of mind, knowing your pet and home are in reliable hands.
17. Amanda M.
About: I have a gentle approach when it comes to pet care, Im extremely sensitive to their needs and prioritize their happiness. They won’t feel like they’re around someone new at all!! I have a full time job but pet care is my part time job and a personal joy. Incorporating pet care into my routine stabilizes and rejuvenates my schedule!! Since I offer housesitting, I can assure you that cleanliness is one of my utmost priorities and I can leave the home better than I found it! I’ve housesat many times in the past, so combining pet care with that is an easy addition.
18. Corinne B.
“Appreciate Corinne quick replies, and ready to walk my dog with short notice. She even walked longer than 60 minutes which I am sure my dog really loved it.”
19. Abby P.
“Abby has taken care of our senior dog several times. She has always been attentive to Angel's needs. She has taken such good care of her when we travel, making sure she gets her medications on time. We never have to worry about her or the house when Abby is there taking care of things. She communicates regularly to let us know how things are going. We couldn't be happier with how things have been with Abby and her care of our pup and house.”
20. Mykale W.
“Mykale has always been pleasant. She has dog sitting for me whenever I went out of town on business trips. She has always been an animal lover, I believe this is a perfect job opportunity for her.”
