6. Joey G.
“Joey is so awesome! He is genuine and reliable and just a really great person. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and will absolutely be having him stay with Aria again. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pet and your home are well cared for. My cat loves everybody, but she really took to Joey, probably because of his calm and kind manner with her. Book him - you won’t regret it!”

“Kayla was very responsive on the app, she came on time and was very friendly with my dog. Would absolutely book again, she is so nice and caring.”
13. Annelise A.
“Annelise was an absolutely perfect dog partner for us. Our dog is a recent rescue, and still very tentative with people. When Annelise came into the house the first time to walk the dog, the dog acted very strange and not very welcoming. But Annelise was not the least bit discouraged and was determined to wait patiently, sitting on the floor, until the dog felt more comfortable. I was so embarrassed about my dog's bizarre behavior, but Annelise kept assuring me that she wasn't the least bit discouraged and that she wanted to forge on. They ended up having a great walk together, and my dog became very enamored with her. When Annelise came the next day for a walk, there was no issue whatsoever and they had a fabulous walk. I'm very grateful to Annelise for her patience, her persistence, and her sympathetic attention to my dog. She is a kind, very intelligent young woman who is loving and sweet to animals. You'd be very lucky to have her watch your fur baby, and I absolutely recommend her without hesitation.”
14. Italia L.
“Italia is a very qualified animal caretaker. She has multiple pets of her own (dogs, bunnies, cats and ferrets) as well as a lot of hours walking/caretaking others pets (small dogs, big dogs, elderly dogs Etc.) She is a extremely loving, carful, self-aware person and always puts safety & responsibility first.”
15. Madison N.
“Madison is the BEST Auntie to my kitty cookie! She started watching her at 5 months and is loving, caring, attentive and makes sure she has all her needs met and more. Cookie loves her so much, she turns into a lap cat for her. I have yet to get to that level and I am her Mom! Madison is a wonderful sitter. I would trust her with any animal at any time. I am grateful to have Madison there for Cookie.”
16. Samantha V.
“Sam got along with our 85lb pit bull and kept him entertained and exercised. Nothing better than coming home to a happy pup. Will definitely request Sam again.”
17. Lacy B.
“Lacy was prompt, polite, flexible with her scheduling and most importantly was kind to our 5 year old Golden Retriever. She provided a great service and made us feel comfortable leaving our fur baby with her!”
18. Ashley G.
“Ashley is really great with my dogs. She took them in a solid walk and made sure they had plenty of water and treats before she left. I'd highly recommend her for you pups!”
19. Markia R.
About: Hello, my name is Markia. I love animals! They are my passion and it has always been a dream of mine to run an animal rescue sanctuary one day. I’ve had pets all my life. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for 4 years, assisted a professional dog trainer that owns her own dog boarding center, worked on a horse farm and have previous pet sitting experience. I am familiar with dogs, cats, small caged animals, reptiles, some barnyard animals and aquatics. I’ve attended multiple dog training seminars and have taken a few classes online. I am knowledgeable about dogs with moderate behavioral issues and can provide basic obedience training. Thank you so much for considering me and I hope to hear from you soon!
20. Mallorie S.
“I’ll preface this by saying that I’m very particular of who I allow to care for my dog, as I only want the best for her! That being said, I HIGHLY recommend Mallorie as a pet sitter or walker! She treats my dog as her own, and I know that my girl will get the love, attention, treats, and cuddles that she deserves when she’s with Mallorie!”
