10. Amy B.
“Amy B has experience with a variety of animals. She grew up on a farm and has worked with cattle, horses, dogs, cats, sheep, and chickens. Amy is a current dog owner and I have never doubted the safety or well-being of her dog. She has a fenced in yard with room for a dog to enjoy time in and outside. Growing up on a farm taught Amy the value of animal life and the responsibility of caring for animals. She is a dedicated wife and mother and values life. She is confident but not cocky. She is not afraid of hard work. I have witnessed Amy care for her pet by taking her to dog parks, on walks, playing with her, keeping her groomed, and making sure she is watched by a responsible person when she and her family are out of town. I have benefited from knowing Amy personally and would recommend her as a dog walker or sitter to anyone.”

“Ellen was awesome! She is very kind and friendly. She communicated very well before and during my fur baby's stay with her. She gave lots of updates with pictures which was great. This was our first time leaving him and she made the experience awesome. I would highly recommend her and would definitely love to use her services again!”

“Kathryn was awesome to work with. She took good care of my senior dog overnight, and checked in on my senior cat. She is super friendly and sweet. She sent photos of each pet and sent text updates. My mind was at ease while I was away. She will definitely be my go to pet sitter!”
14. Carissa A.
“Our dog Bruce has a blast has Carissa’s house! He got to play with other dogs and run around their huge backyard. Carissa responding quickly and sent many pictures and updates.

“Hasanati took great care of our Nash! She was willing to watch him last minute when our plans changed. Hasanati provided a video/picture with an updated every day, which I appreciated. She has a huge backyard for the dogs to run around and get all their energy out. Nash slept from time we picked him up and all through the night so I knew he had a fun time. I would definitely book again with Hasanati!”
