17. Matthew Z.
About: I have an excellent, warm, and inviting home in which I would happily watch your dog while you travel. I'm a writer and vo artist who mostly works from home, so your dog won't be lonely; that's for sure. In addition, I take an hour long walk in Audubon Park every single day, so if your dog is up to it, he/she will get plenty of healthy exercise. And for those that aren't able to make the big walk, we do smaller little walks in the neighborhood plenty of times per day. I love dogs, and would care for yours as if it were my own, so please don't hesitate if you have any specific questions for me, and thank you for giving me a look! ~Matt *Please note that I have relocated to Kentucky from California so please enjoy these pics from my previous home, filled with my furry friends. I mostly work from home, so your pet will not be lonely. Spending a lot of time at home, I really enjoy the company of dogs. I go on walks throughout the day and try to keep a calm environment filled with routine. I follow what the pet needs at the direction of the owner.
18. Rachel V.
“Rachel has been loving and taking care of our fur babies for many years now. She has a wonderful way of caring for animals and has been nothing but reliable, trustworthy, and a joy to work with honestly. She has never let us down and has actually made going out of town and unexpected obligations so much easier to navigate. She has an elderly pet of her own, so she knows how to give meds and follow special instructions. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and responsible individual to look after their pets.”
19. Brian R.
“Brian took great care of Jake with updates during every visit. Jake seemed like he had a great weekend while I was away. Definitely will be using Brian again in the future. Highly recommend!”
20. Ember F.
“I have known Ember for over 13 years and have always found her to be caring, kind and conscientious about pet care, as well as people care, too. She has always taken great care of my animals, not only in physical care, but emotional care. If my kitties could talk, they would tell me they would rather Ember come over to play with them, 'cause she does it better. I heartily recommend Ember for your pet care.”
