9. Kathrine M.
“Kat does a great job with all animals, especially dogs. In high school, she raised dogs for Guild Dog for the Blind as her FFA Project. Her dog attended school with her everyday while it learned social skills and public manners. Kat attended weekly training meeting for several years and was dedicated to the training of each dog in her care. One of the dogs became a guide for a blind person and the another became a full-time therapy dog. Kat took the therapy dog to many therapy training meetings and became a training for new therapy dogs in the group. Kat and her dogs went on several therapy visits to libraries, schools, nursing homes, 12 Step recovery programs with therapy dogs, and she worked with the police department for crisis therapy care. For the last six years, Kat has been showing AKC Border Collies in AKC Shows and she has two Grand Champion Dogs. She is currently training two puppy Border Collies for competition at the present time. Since then, she has done several private dog trainings sessions, and dog sitting, both at her house and other people's houses. for many people. Kat is very knowledgeable about dog care and training techniques.”

12. Lauren R.
About: I’ve been a pet owner and dog lover for the majority of my life. I grew up caring for my own animals as well as my neighbors, friends and family’s pets as well. I work from home full time (which my own pup loves!) so I have plenty of free time to take your pets on walks, feed them and play with them throughout the day. I’m familiar with caring for dogs of all sizes with various needs, whether that’s a crate trained pup or a dog that is used to being able to roam free! I have my own little rescue pup, he’s 3 years old and about 10 pounds. He loves playing with other dogs.
13. Ivy C.
“Ivy is the BEST petsitter you could possibly have! :) Rest assured that your babies will be safe under her care. If there are any problems, Ivy will do her best to keep you informed and will work hard to solve any situation that may come up. She's adaptable, caring, responsible, and just an amazing person overall! I asked Ivy to watch my dogs as a last minute request and she gladly took on the job. She did an excellent job with my pets so I highly recommend her services. Thank you for everything Ivy!!!”
14. Mary Beth T.
About: With over 30 years of experience as a dog and cat owner, I truly understand the needs of pets. I know that when you travel, it’s essential to find someone trustworthy who will care for your furry companions as you would. I have extensive experience in dog walking, pet feeding, and administering medication. Rest assured, I will provide the attention and care your pet deserves, allowing you to relax while you’re away. As a retiree, I offer a flexible schedule for drop-in visits or overnight stays, ensuring your pets receive the best possible care whenever you need it. We have a fully fenced and gated back yard. There are no holes in the fence and the gates are secure so there is no way for an animal to escape. We do not have a gardener my husband does all the yard work so there is no fear of a gardener leaving a gate open.
15. Scott B.
“Scott kindly came over for a drop-in two days he was scheduled to begin watching our pets. The pugs clearly are comfortable with him, and Scott is very kind and attentive. We are fortunate to have found him, and we will be able to enjoy our time away knowing that they will be safe and loved. Thank you, Scott!”
16. Heidi M.
“Heidi took good care of my dog. Guala has just gotten spayed and I needed someone to watch her while I left town, Heidi watched her and gave her medicine. She updated me with messages and pictures, and my baby looked so happy. Her house was clean and looked safe for my dog. She is the most trustful person to leave your pets with. I am so happy with the care that she provide and now I know who to leave her with next time.”
17. Elisa U.
“Elisa has a innate passion for animals and this reflects in the way she cares for pets. She understands that they are family members and she treats them as her own. She is very responsible and attentive to the dog's needs, and she truly goes above and beyond. Elisa makes sure that the dogs feel comfortable and safe around her. Elisa is my go-to person when it comes to taking care of my golden retriever, Rex. She has been dog sitting him for about 8 years now and I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a dog sitter.”
18. yasmin f.
“awesome dog sitter ! She was very sweet, and communicative. I will be letting her take care of my dog again ! Definitely 10/10 recommend!”
19. Allison M.
“I have known Allison my entire life and during that time she has cared for and loved every animal she has ever come into contact with. Allison is the most responsible pet owner I have ever seen she is loving kind and playful with every type of animal. Her work is incredible no matter what job she sees is through and gives it her all she is the clear choice for anything pet related.”
20. Vanessa M.
“During our 21 year old, senior cat’s last days, Vanessa ensured our cat was comforted and cared for. Our loving senior was fed, loved, and watched after with the utmost attention and care. We know it is harder for people to want to care for senior animals as they have become fragile, sedentary, and overall have lost their young cuteness. Vanessa instead let our sweet angel take her time, playing with and petting her gently. She also made sure our tiny senior was fed around the clock, making sure to prepare her special diet thoroughly (she had oral surgery twice with teeth removed both time). I would recommend Vanessa for all animal needs. She is intuitive, attentive, and meets all demands you might have for your fur baby.”
