1. Sarina M.
“I can see why Sarina has great reviews and repeat clients. She is very responsive and respectful. My husband arrived home a day before I did and said everything looked great and the pups were happy. One of ours needs eye drops and oral medication and that was no problem. We will try to book Sarina again.”

6. Emily B.
“Emily was great! She accommodated with a zoom meet and greet because our home schedules didn't align. She was easy to coordinate with, accommodating and kind. She had to deal with storms and scaredy dogs crawling in her lap at all hours of the night. She may have needed a nap the next day but she was absolutely great in caring for my pups. I wold recommend Emily to anyone needing home care for their pets!”
7. Tracy S.
“Tracy is the best pet sitter ever! She and her husband agreed to take care of my dogs Skar and Andy. Although Skar is a very territorial dog and not very friendly with new people. Tracy gave him all the love to earn his trust! Andy on the other hand, is a very loving dog and found a lot of love in Tracy! If you are thinking about hiring someone to care for your pets, Tracy is the perfect person you can trust!”

About: Hey! I’m Taylor and I’m so excited your considering me to watch your furry pet! I have many years of experience with animals. Dogs are by far my favorite. I am a owner of a full blooded GSD and I also have a schnauzer. I’d be sure to carefully follow all guidelines placed for each of my furry friends and send parent updates daily. I have a pretty much open schedule. I do work part time and open at other jobs so I will be accepting clients on here when I have availability. My dogs are trained and I also have a fenced in backyard. I don’t hardly ever have to yell or scream at my dogs so I don’t plan to do that your animals. My dogs are on a schedule so if your furry pet is on a schedule I’d try my best to be sure we stick to the schedule.

Haley is reliable, always punctual, and goes above and beyond to ensure pets feel safe and loved. Her gentle demeanor and playful spirit make her a favorite among pets, and it's clear she treats them like family. I am confident that anyone who chooses Haley will be extremely satisfied with her caring approach and dedication to pet care.”
