“Sydney was so sweet! She met with us and was sooo good with our dog Bonnie! Would definitely recommend !”


2. Kayla N.

“Kayla is awesome! It's clear that she genuinely loves dogs, and my two pups absolutely adore her. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trusworthy, punctual, caring dog walker with great communication skills!”


3. Sara K.
“I've known Sara since she was in elementary school, and as far as I know, she's never harmed a single minute soul on this planet. She even takes the time and care to take a small SPIDER outside if it's stuck in the house, which is something I wouldn't bother to do. She and I have been a part of a small four-person squad since high school, and the three of us have always known her to be the most proactive and genuine when it comes to animals. She is especially passionate when it comes to sharks, which are her favorite animal. At an Oktoberfest in our town, she had this shark booth set up for four years straight informing people about the dangers of shark finning and how we should protect and support the wildlife in the ocean. This is also supported by the fact that she's majoring in Wildlife and Fisheries at her college. ALSO, she had a summer internship this year working at a wildlife rehabilitation center! She took care of so many different animals, and there's tons of pictures of her feeding and helping little birds, snakes, turtles, and other creatures. All I'm saying is that if there were a pet-sitting website for all animals, Sara would be the best person for the job because of her background in rehabilitation and classroom knowledge of wildlife. She also owns two cats and used to have two turtles.”




4. Elizabeth D.
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life! My previous rescues, Bailey and Kira, passed away of old age and it took several years but in January of 2021 I adopted Sprinkles, a lab-hound mix who is approximately 2-ish years old and 50lbs. She gets along well with all dogs and loves to play! She can be rambunctious so if your dog is mellow, she will get on their nerves. I grew up with dobermans and I regularly watch my bff's 10lb small dog (and Sprinkles' friend) so I'm used to dogs both big and small. Nothing phases me - I can administer medication and subcutaneous fluids and can follow complicated feeding instructions - some of our furry friends are finicky! I love the bond formed when walking dogs - it's very special. My home is pet-friendly, with a small fenced-in backyard. Your dog will have a lovely time and I will be thrilled to take care of them! I am a realtor with a very flexible work schedule so there will be a lot of 1:1 time with your pet. We have sidewalks everywhere and a dog park within walking distance (only if you give the ok). I set an alarm and feed them breakfast and dinner consistently at the same time - it typically provides a calming effect when staying in a new place. I can let them out first AM in the backyard and after that it will be walks in and outside of Bermuda Bay, with lots of great sniffs!


5. Aylssa C.

“Alyssa was so helpful with our dog Atlas. He was excited when he saw her arrive and when he got back from his walks he was always happy and tired. Alyssa was easy to work with, reliable, and friendly. She was self sufficient and helped us in a bind.”


6. Lindsey P.

“Lindsey is the best!! She communicated with us every walk. Took pictures and even offered us help due to our flight and weather. If deciding which walker, choose Lindsey.”


7. Sydney K.
“Sydney has taken care of my pup so many times over the past couple years. She is the one I reach out to when I am going away on a trip and need someone reliable to watch over Lucy.”


8. Carl C.
“Carl has always had a loving heart for dogs. He treats his own dog like a human member of the family. I've never been a big dog person myself, but he makes sure the dog is respectful and trained whenever she comes over to the house. Carl would make a great dogsitter!”


9. Kristen B.
“Kristen has helped me with my children, my elderly parents, and my dogs! Her heart is enormous and she wants nothing but the best for all of Gods creatures. I trust her with my life”


10. Eyan E.
“Eyan is amazing with all animals. I am never scared to leave my animals in his care, sometimes I find they are happier when he comes around. He goes above and beyond always making sure my dogs and cats are safe, healthy, and loved. He not only feeds and walks the animals, but he spends time with them making sure they aren't lonely. I would not want anyone else to take care of my animals.”


11. Trent S.

“Trent was great with our Ellie! She seemed perfectly comfortable when we arrived home and we received several updates from Trent. I highly recommend him!”


12. Laura M.
“Laura is an animal lover. She would sleep at the foot of the bed if her fur babies looked comfortable. She is also very detailed oriented. Any special concerns that you have about your pets will be taken care of well. You might use Rover while you are on vacation, but a weekend with Laura is like a spa day for your pet. You and your pet will be missing vacation when it’s over.”


13. Jaime V.
“Jaime is very responsible, very dependable and very good with my two high energy dogs. My dogs love when she comes over to walk them or stay with them. She comes highly recommended as a loving pet caregiver.”


14. Teresa M.
“Teresa has been helping with my dog Roz and two cats, Rex and Rusty for four years now. Teresa goes above and beyond when sitting for our pets. She will brush their fur, teeth, and often will help us with clipping their nails! She is a long time pet owner and understands how important our pets are to us. She is friendly, and consistent. She pays attention to each pet individually, and takes Roz on walks far longer than we ever could. Thank you Teresa! ”


15. Brittany H.
About: I genuinely love animals so this isn’t even a job for me, I’m just happy to be able to do it! I’ve been caring for family pets and pet sitting since I was a child. I’m very flexible and understanding. I love all breeds, sizes, young, old, hyper, or calm! I can take them to the park, beach, walks whatever you’d like. I’m here to make them happy and give them the care they need while you are away. I currently work a part time job so I have flexibility. I’m available most days, and have availability the days I’m working my other job as long as it is before/after my shift. I treat animals with the respect and care they deserve. Having animals of my own I know how I want them to be treated and care for others pets as my own.


16. Rose N.

“Stayed in duck for a week for a beach trip. We needed someone to come by for 2 days to walk pumpkin since we had booked all day tours. Rose was trustworthy, she sent me lots of pictures, and kept me updated. Thank you rose. Would recommend to regulars and visitors.”


17. Kelli C.


“Kelli was super flexible and responsive! Really appreciate her help with our puppy, and it looks like he had an awesome time. We will definitely book Kelli again :)”




18. Tori S.
“Tori is wonderful with dogs. She often cares for our 3 year old, high energy, but anxious lab-mix, Dakota. She is understanding of our dogs individual quirks and is also good about reinforcing trained behaviors. Dakota is around 70 lbs and very strong, but Tori has no issues taking him on long walks and horsing around with him. She is a caring and compassionate animal lover!”


19. Jessica & Earl S.
“Jessica and Earl are two of the most responsible and dependable people I have ever known. They are committed to excellence in everything they do whether it is helping impoverished children in Nicaragua or helping out neighbors in their own community.”
