1. Cindy & Colby W.
“Cindy has a heart of gold that was made specificallly for taking care of 4-legged furry balls of joy. If you want your dog to come home with their tail wagging, my mom Cindy is the one for you. I used to do Rover when I was in high school and she would always be there to help me. Whether it was helping me feed the dogs, take them out to the bathroom, take them on walks/runs, or of course giving them all the love and cuddles they deserve, she was always willing to help. She understood the importance of watching after somebody else’s dog the way we would want somebody to watch after ours. Speaking of our dog, if you placed our very own 14-year young pup in a room of our family she would always run to Cindy first which I think is very telling . I would trust Cindy with my own dog and you should too. She will go above and beyond.”

“I would highly recommend Jodi Lower to care for your pet(s)! I have had the pleasure of knowing Jodi and her love can care for pets. Jodi has been a caring, compassionate, and responsible pet owner to small and large dogs. Jodi also really understands the needs, wants and the love required to earn your pets trust. Jodi will take the time to get to know your pet, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in her presence. Jodi will provide excellent care such as walking, feeding, administering medication, etc., and will always go the extra mile to ensure their well-being. Jodi truly has a genuine love of animals. Again, I highly recommend Jodi to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. I am confident that she will provide a level of exceptional care to your pets.”

6. Betty S.
“I am thrilled to recommend Betty as a dog caregiver. Betty is one of the most caring and dedicated individuals I know, especially when it comes to the well-being of animals. Their genuine love for dogs and deep understanding of their needs make them an ideal person to entrust with your furry family member. From my experience, Betty is incredibly attentive and reliable, ensuring that each dog in their care is happy, safe, and well-exercised. They not only provide the basics like feeding and walking but also bring a warmth and kindness that puts both pets and their owners at ease. I have seen how dogs respond to Betty with excitement and affection, which is a true testament to their gentle and thoughtful approach. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dog with the same love and attention you would, I can’t recommend Betty highly enough. With their patience, responsibility, and genuine compassion, she will provide exceptional care for your beloved pet.”

10. Shyloh F.
“Highly recommend letting Shyloh care for your pup! Shyloh has taken care and loved our dog (Violet) since she was a puppy and now as an adult (still wild) dog. Our dog loves when Shyloh stops in whether it’s for a quick drop in, a nice long walk, or even an overnight weekend together. She is responsible, timely, and caring to Violet as if she were her own.”
11. Nicola M.
“I highly recommend Nicky as a pet caregiver. She is incredibly kind, responsible, reliable, and has a natural affection for doggies. Whenever she has looked after my pup, I have always felt completely at ease knowing they were in safe and loving hands. Nicky is attentive to their needs, whether it's making sure they get their meals on time, going for walks, or simply giving them the affection they crave. She treats every pet as if they were her own, and it shows in the way they respond to her. She’s a great choice for a caregiver and I’m confident your pet will agree :)”

13. Melissa P.
About: As a true animal lover with years of experience caring for friends' and family members' pets, I've developed a deep passion for nurturing our furry companions. Now that my nest is empty, I’m excited to dedicate my time to showering your pets with the love, care, and joy they deserve. Let's create some unforgettable moments together! After a rewarding career as a nurse, I’ve embraced a new chapter as the owner of a logistics company. This venture gives me the freedom to work from home and enjoy a flexible schedule. Now, I have plenty of time to shower my furry friends with love and attention! Meet my adorable mini golden doodle, the friendliest furball you'll ever encounter! He absolutely loves playing with other animals and adds so much joy to my home. I also share my home with two fabulous cats—one playful kitten and a wise two-year-old. They all get along wonderfully, making this happy household a delightful hub of furry antics! While my yard isn’t fenced, it opens up to a beautiful golf course in BSL, providing a great backdrop for endless playtime. Plus, my quiet dead-end street is perfect for relaxing walks, ensuring all can enjoy the outdoors safely. Come and join the fun—it’s always a great day for a walk or a romp in the yard!

About: I have always had dogs in my house and I have pet sit for my neighbors all the time in the summer! I love spending time with animals and have a horse of my own! I currently work at a restaurant part time and only have one class in school so I have a very flexible schedule for anytime of the day! I have a big fenced in backyard where my dog loves to run around. Also have tons of toys and a pool for the pets to cool off!

16. Doug S.
“Doug has looked after our two dogs several times when we have been out of town over the past four years. He treats them as though they were family, takes them for walks, provides twice daily feedings with their special dietary needs, gives them their meds, and gives them the loving care our dogs need. He even texts us pictures of them. We never have to be concerned for our dogs’ well-being when they are in his care. We highly value his integrity, responsibility, and reliability, and feel very fortunate to have him in ours and our dogs’ lives.”
17. Sherry W.
“Sherry loves all types of animals. She has watched our furbabies on more than one occasion at our home. Sherry would be a great animal sitter!”
18. Judith S.
“I have known Judith for over 12 years and can honestly state that her love for all animals is beyond question. Her care and love for her GSP, Dax, is without limits. The same can be said in regards to other animals. If a strange cat enters her yard, she immediately attempts to coax the cat closer so she can pet and comfort the animal. When her family has been over to visit, their dogs too get equal treatment as if they were hers. I know she takes the time to walk Dax more often than most. Judith is always attentative to the needs of the animal.”
