4. Breanna P.

“Bree has been great with Mochi! She is on time, communicative, and patient- learning to use Mochi's e-collar and dominant dog collar. She is also understanding of my anxiety around Mo's selective aggression in our extremely dog-friendly apartment complex. She is super vigilant about other dogs, and attentive to environmental risks on walks. Her attentiveness puts me at ease, and I would recommend her without reservation.”

16. Angelica V.
About: For 12 years I have professionally volunteered and fostered dogs. I have always had dogs growing up and a wagging tail makes my whole day! I am comfortable caring for any size dogs, any age and dogs with anxiety. I work from home so you can be sure that your precious pet will have constant company and supervision. There is always time to play and snuggle! I have a basement that I can keep your pet separate from my dog and cats. I have a fenced yard for frequent potty and play breaks! We have couches and beds for the pets and they get free roam if you’d like of the entire basement. If they prefer a more confined area, there is a bedroom in the basement and can easily be set up to accommodate a furry friend.


17. Christina N.
“Christina was fantastic with my dog, Juniper! I was gone for a week, and she took care of my 3-legged pup so well. She was very communicative, friendly, and accommodating. I appreciated the photos she would send to keep me posted and she left my house better than I left it, which was much appreciated. I would highly recommend her for all of your pet-sitting needs. She's become my go-to for mine and Juniper always loves seeing her too.”


18. Chelsea G.


“Chelsea and John were amazing with our puppy Odin! They cared for him with great affection and thoughtfulness. We were so lucky to find them and will definitely be using them in the future.”


19. Renee M.
“Renee was a godsend when I needed a dog sitter while going on vacation. She took care of my little schnoodle, Comet, as if he was her own. Through the years she’s also walked him regularly when I was unable to. I highly recommend her services.”


20. Lucille F.
“Lou has been an excellent caregiver for all of our pets! I have personally seen her diligently care for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chickens and horses.
