“Savanah did an incredible job taking care of my golden doodle, Brooks, while I was away. From the start, her communicative nature put me at ease, as she regularly updated me on their activities. It was clear that she genuinely loves dogs, as Brooks thrived under her care. She dedicated plenty of time to play with him, ensuring he got the exercise and attention he needed. I was especially impressed by her attention to detail—she followed his routine perfectly, from feeding times to his favorite toys. When I returned, Brooks was happy and well-cared-for, a testament to Savanah's dedication. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter, and I highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care. Thank you, Savanah!”

17. Taylor M.
“Taylor and I have know each other for a few years, and she’s always been an avid animal lover. When my family got our puppy, she immediately offered to look after him if the need ever arose. We started with a short over night trip and she was so attentive. She sent multiple updates for our happy boy. From that point forward we used her services any time we went out of town. Her communication is always top notch and every time our pup came back tired and happy. You can’t go wrong trusting Taylor with your fur-baby. She’ll love them like her own and go above and beyond each and every time.”
18. Charlie H.
About: I have raised dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, and chickens my entire life. I currently have a Pug and a Boston Terrier, both puppies. I work from home and can provide day care, over nights, walks, pop-ins, etc. I am right down the street from Gateway so if you need a place to drop your animal off on your way to work downtown, I make a convenient drop off location. Very flexible with times. Air conditioning inside, large fully fenced backyard, and walks daily. 24/7 availability for pet care so long as we communicate in advance. I work from home and can be available based on your needs. I am available for drop off and pick up any time. There are a few times throughout the day where I will be driving my kids to and from events. We can communicate and work around those times. I also have a keypad. Animals are watched closely in the home and kept inside the fence in the backyard under supervision. When on walks animals are always on leash and are one on one with me. Separate food and water bowls are used. My yard is cleared of excrement daily. All animals must be up to date with shots and worming and flea/tick prevention.
19. Sandra D.
“Sandra wad very sweet and I felt very comfortable leaving my cats with her. She sent me pictures and updates every day which really helped to ease my anxiety of being away.”
20. Ava E.
About: I am very patient and friendly and attentive. I have two decades of pet care experience and frequently take care of friends pets as well as my own sweet kitties. Pet care is already a continuous part of my daily life, and I’m more than happy to extend it to the lives of others and their wonderful pets. Taking care of pets is something I’ve always loved doing. My pets are very healthy and incredibly happy and playful. I ensure they are comfortable and have frequent exercise and stimulating play time, as well as adequate cuddle time and a healthy diet.
