10. Kaia M.
“There is no one else I would leave my Harper with other than Kaia. She is honest, caring and dependable. She is a natural animal lover and shows great respect and character when dealing with simply anyone. I am without a doubt a crazy dog mom but knowing I have Kaia to care for my Harper when I can't be there puts my mind at ease. If you're lucky enough to have Kaia care for your pets you'll undoubtedly feel the same way. ~Debbie F.”

“Sharon took great care of our pups! She did three drop in visits a day. Our doggies loved her and she sent us lots of cute pictures from each visit! She always kept me in the loop and communicates well. We will definitely be asking her to watch our dogs in the future!”


12. Nicomedes R.
“Nico is a gentle, loving, animal sitter that is extremely in tune with doggy needs. If your pet doesn’t meet Nico they are missing out on a lot of hugs, joy, and love! If you want your pup to feel appreciated while you’re away, Nico is the one to fill in the gaps and make them feel like his own. I highly recommend him and always will!”

16. Arin P.
About: I grew up fostering dogs and cats and have cared for dogs of all ages with a wide variety of needs. I am experienced with dogs with behavioral and medical issues of all sorts as well as cats, fish, tarantulas, birds, guinea pigs, and lizards. I currently work full time on a flexible schedule and am able to work remotely most days for at least half the day. My normal workday is from 10-6. I prefer to meet your pet where they are at and only use crates if that is what they are used to and comfortable with. I also always walk dogs with a leash and harness and prioritize safety. I will only let them off leash inside the home or at a fenced dog park with your approval.


17. Sydney G.

“Sydney is highly responsive and has a natural love for dogs. Being away for several days I felt 100% at ease that Maya was in great hands. I would highly recommend.”


18. Cara W.
“Cara is amazing! My baby giro loves her and I trust her completely. Cara is the exact person you want taking care of your dog! ❤️”

“Rose was fantastic. She was capable, responsive, and professional. We appreciated that she sent many photos during her visit. Her and Kiwi seemed to get along very well. We will certainly use her again in the future!”
