“Chloe was great! She was able to come by just two days prior to when I needed her to walk my dog for a meet and greet.

Her Communication while I was gone was great and I would definitely use her again!”
15. Bryn R.
“Bryn is my roommate, and she helps me take care of my cat constantly. If i’m not home, I don’t even have to ask her to feed him or help me clean his litter box. He absolutely loves her and cuddles with her all the time. In addition, I’ve seen how she took care of her family’s two great danes, Titan and Mackenzie. She can handle large dogs like a champ and is very intuitive to their needs.”
16. Shelley C.
“I love Shelly. She is very compassionate and dependable. I have four cats with very shy personalities, so they can be quite difficult even for myself. I'm so grateful I found her. Shelly is a dog and cat owner herself. Animals just naturally gravitate to her.”
17. delaney l.
About: My parents bred bulldogs since I was 9, I help with all puppy care from infancy to 8 weeks. I've had 3 dogs all my life and now I live with 4 cats. I am well skilled in caring for cats and dogs alike. For 6 months in my college town I worked at a dog park and managed a good atmosphere with 50+ dogs in the park at a time, I will be returning to said dog park when the new University semester starts. I go to school for nursing, with classes during the day i can still make time for your dogs! I work a job a a dog park with flexible, short shifts that also make it very easy for me to find time to walk or check up on your pups! I prefer my animals to be in my sight at all times, with all human food completely away. I also prefer to accompany my pets outside when using the restroom, especially in the hot months of the year.
18. Emmalee G.
“Emmalee has taken the time to get to know our dog and he has taken to her very quickly and he is a very sensitive soul so that speaks volumes! Really happy and relaxed knowing she is caring for him, would definitely recommend.”
19. Catherine C.
“Cat was an amazing sitter for our pittie and kitten while we were out of town for the weekend! When our initial plan of house sitting didn’t work out, she offered to do as many drop ins as we needed and even accommodated an extra visit the day of our departure. Our meet and greet went so well with her and Kurama and Bella took to her immediately. She followed my laundry list of instructions to a t, sent us multiple updates throughout the day and was always so communicative with us. Thank you Cat for all of your help. We had no doubt that our kiddos were in great hands. If you need a reliable sitter we would absolutely recommend Cat!”
20. Rachel M.
“Rachel was a great host for my 2 cats. She was flexible in allowing my boys to stay at her new place. Very friendly person and would rebook again if I needed a sitter”
