Caitlyn has been coming over 2-3x a week to let our dog out during the day. She (with permission, of course) took my dog for pup cups on both her birthday and her gotcha day. She always puts my dog first, and loves her as her own, and my dog is obsessed with her. I will continually recommend Caitlyn to anyone I know who is looking for someone to check on their pet.

Cory is matter-of-fact, flexible, and a good energy for our hyper lab mix. We were able to schedule an additional walk during our vacation which we really appreciated. We received updates each time he stopped by. Big fan!

Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!

Amber has an amazing heart and passion for dogs. We have 3 Great Danes and a puggle that Amber has taken care of for us many times and they love her. They get so excited to see her, knowing that all her attention is wrapped into them. They can't wait for her to take them for a walk or just play for the afternoon or weekend overnight. They are all quite large dogs (average of 155 lbs a piece) but Amber knows just how to handle them. I recommend Amber highly to take care of anyone's dog and trust her to give the best care each and every time! I also trust her to stay in our home with no hesitation she is very trustworthy.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, mostly medium to large-sized breeds. I helped care for my family's senior German shepard/Shiba in mix and have raised my current dog, Benji, since he was a pup. I enjoy teaching dogs new tricks and seeing their unique personalities come out. I am a full-time college student, but I’ve found myself with extra time in my schedule. I am hoping to broaden my experience with animal care as I may pursue a related career in the future. During walks, I stay aware of our surroundings and keep dogs on a secure leash while still letting them explore. For longer visits, I follow their food and medicine schedule, bathroom breaks, and playtime. My Border Collie needs to be told when to take a break, so I’ll make sure your dog rests when needed to keep them happy and safe. ❤️

About: Cat mom that actively fosters cats and dogs with ARL. Dog sits for friends at their homes as well as walking them. My specialty is fostering bonds between cats and dogs. I'm working remotely for a company in Singapore while actively studying for a mid career switch. I'm flexible with time and can do multiple visits a day. I'm more comfortable with caring for your pet in their familiar environment and will walk the trails you do to keep their routine. Food, water, play time, walkies, chill time can all be planned! Will monitor stool for any health markers.

About: Hello!! I currently have 2 dogs; one is old but the other loves to play! I have been taking care of dogs for around 5 years now. I used to work at a doggie daycare center and have worked on many things like learning dog behavior, giving out medication, and diet restrictions. I currently have a fenced-in backyard where there is plenty of room to roam around and play! I love taking funny and cute pictures, so I will send some if you would like! I also have a bearded dragon and a crested gecko as well. I love all kinds of dogs and hopefully, I get to know some new personalities! I’m currently working part-time and do not have that many hours right now. I have an open schedule currently. I am currently working from 4am-10am so I definitely have time to take care of you little ones! I have a fenced in backyard where they are able to run and roam wherever they want. I am able to give them lunch or medications if necessary. Have plenty of toys to choose from! They will have a plenty of play time and nap time!

I recently had the pleasure of using Andrew and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, everything went smoothly, and my dog received exceptional care while I was away. Booking and Communication The booking process was simple and convenient. I was able to easily communicate with him, who asked all the right questions about my dog’s routine, preferences, and any special needs. I felt reassured knowing that Andrew was genuinely interested in providing personalized care. Care and Attention During the sitting period, Andrew was highly attentive to my dog’s needs. Daily updates, complete with photos and videos, helped me feel connected and at ease. I appreciated that he made time for regular walks, play sessions, and cuddle time. It was clear that my dog was in loving hands. Home Environment Andrew created a safe and comfortable environment, and I was impressed by the care taken to maintain my dog’s usual routines. Whether it was feeding times, nap schedules, or familiar toys, everything was well-maintained, making the experience less stressful for my pet. Professionalism and Reliability Andrew was punctual, professional, and dependable. There were no surprises—just great, consistent care. I also received timely updates in case there were any changes, which showed a high level of responsibility and respect. Overall Experience Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitting experience. It gave me peace of mind while I was away, knowing that my dog was not only safe but also happy and content. I would definitely recommend Andrew to any pet owner looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.
