7. Kirstin H.
“Growing up with Kirstin as my twin sister, I witnessed first hand her ability to connect with all types of animals. Our household always had at least one dog, and our dogs always tended to gravitate towards Kirstin. She was good about spending lots of time with the dogs, whether it be taking the dogs for an extra long walk, or playing with the dogs in the back yard and giving them extra care and attention. Kirstin has a knack for keeping an eye out for the dogs and checking in on them frequently. Just last year, our puppy had gotten into some advil, and Kirstin was the first to go check on the dog and realize the pink stains on her mouth and identify that the dog needed to be taken to the vet immediately. In general, Kirstin is very mindful and attentive. If a list of tasks is given to her, she will go through everything multiple times to make sure that it gets done and that it gets done right. I am confident that should will be a very responsible and loving pet caregiver because of all of her capabilities.”
8. Carolyn L.

10. Jessica W.

11. Blaise C.
“Blaise is a top-notch dog person who is very passionate about the animals he works with. Highly recommended, I had a difficult time finding the right fit for Bosco but that search ended with Blaise!”
12. Brittany P.
“We are very happy to have found Brittany, who is very reliable, communicates very well and did a great job in tending to our dog. He took to her right away which is not always the case as he is a nervous fellow. We will be using her services again and highly recommend her.”

14. Audrey G.
“Audrey is amazing! She has helped us out on multiple occasions, both short-term (a day at a time) and longer-term (almost a week). We have two cats, and had two dogs (until recently when one passed away). Audrey took exceptional care of all of them, including a complex medication routine for one of my dogs and one of my cats. She also gave extra attention to our higher energy dog and took her on walks and adventures. The pets also received lots of snuggles. While we were away, she checked in regularly and shared pictures so we didn't have to worry about our babies. Audrey is incredibly kind, caring, and thoughtful, and you can tell that she genuinely cares about animals. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter to anyone!”
15. Kali P.
“Kali was great with our GSD Apollo. He had a great time walking and playing frisbee in the snow with her. Kali is super responsive and punctual. She even sends updates on the cats! Would definitely recommend 😊”

18. Danielle D.
“Danielle is the best. My husband and I received lots of great communication from her, including wonderful pictures. Our pup Dallas sometimes has a hard time eating, and she made the extra effort to make sure that he got his meals in. Danielle even sat with Dallas’ food on her lap to help encourage him to eat. Dallas loves to hang out with her, and she always makes his tail wag. Danielle also was very flexible with our schedule, and she was fast to respond to any questions or concerns. I can’t recommend Danielle enough.”
