6. Linda F.
“We have known Linda for over 30 years. She is a reliable, compassionate and a trustworthy person. Linda has puppy sat a few times for our six year old beagle. It was just like she was the “dog whisperer”. Linda was a perfect match for our dog, not only did she love our dog but our beagle loves her even more. We would recommend her highly to puppy sit or walk a dog. Sincerely, Ron and Maria D.”
7. Annie D.
“Annie was great with our two little pups and our senior cat. She was very tentative to their schedules and routines. Follows directions and requests as well. She was the first (of a few) that our older dog actually warmed up to, immediately. Communication was great, with updates constantly. We'll definitely have her house/pet sit again!”

10. Kathleen L.
“Kathy was absolutely amazing. She watched my two small dogs over the weekend. She is kind, patient and keeps in touch throughout. I have an elderly dog which can be challenging, but she handles every situation with care and understanding.

15. Lindsey C.
“Lindsey took such great care of Miss Betsy! Loved the photo updates and check-ins! Was happy to see that Betsy enjoyed the time while we were away.”
16. Olena I.
“I’m writing this letter with zero hesitation (and a small army of furry friends cheering me on) to recommend Olena for any pet-sitting, animal-watching, or general creature-loving role. I was lucky enough to be both a customer and a witness to her incredible ability to bond with animals. She cared for my cat while I was away, and the experience was seamless. She was attentive, respectful of the space, and followed every instruction I left. My cat was calm and well looked after when I returned, which speaks volumes about her presence and the way animals respond to her. On top of her animal care skills, she’s a gifted photographer. She took a photo set of me and my cat that I genuinely treasure. Pictures came out absolutely incredible! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and capable, I definetelly recommend Olena. Your pets will be in excellent hands.”
17. Elvin R.
About: I have had a love for animal my whole life. I have had the opportunity to take of my friend's dogs. I would pet sit for my mother's dogs for years and gained lots of experience. I currently own a 2 year old, spade, Golden Doodle named Yumi with my girlfriend. I'm in-between jobs at the moment, so I will have plenty of time to care and play with your pups. My schedule is completely open. I usually walk my dog every 3-4 hours. There is plenty of yard space for play outside. Usually feeding is 2 times a day unless otherwise specified by the owner

About: From senior lads to little pups, I've been with them all! Four years and counting in the vet field has taught me every pet has their own personality. While some may prefer calm and quiet and others energetic and outgoing, my focus is, and will always be, your pet's individual needs first. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my schedule, part-time work with dedicated morning, midday, and evening availability as well as open weekends. Your pet's well being is my priority, ensuring they receive loving attention whenever you need. Shy, nervous, or extremely outgoing - I've worked with and encountered countless different personalities and breeds. My utmost priority will always be your pet's comfort. Working as a vet assistant for several years has taught me the importance of body language and patience no matter the setting!
19. Kelly M.
“She did a great job watching my baby! Very sweet and trustworthy! And kept me updated with pictures and videos of my baby girl rogue every night!”
20. Jonathon D.
About: I have been taking care of cats since my early 20s (20+ years) and I have experience with small to mid sized dogs. I can walk, feed, clean up after your pets while you are away. I am currently working part time from home, so I am easily made available, as needed. Please reach out and we can discuss our options. I have 3 cats and they are indoor cats. At my house I have a medium sized fenced in area for dog's to run and play.
