1. Caitlyn S.

“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.”




2. Cory G.

“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!”


3. Ash B.

“Ash was spectacular with our dogs! Walks were exactly when requested, dogs were treated great and looked soo happy! Definitely rebooking for my next trip out of town!”


4. Jessica D.

“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!”

7. Paige M.

“Paige walked my 85lb Golden Retriever each weekday. Paige is very reliable and communicative and my Auggie looked forward to their daily walks. I will be using Paige more and I highly recommend Paige.”


8. Amber J.
“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.”

13. Kristal C.
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. ❤️


14. Katherine S.
“Katherine has a loving side for all animals. She has a dog now, but has had a multitude of animals from gerbils to birds, cats, and dogs. Katherine is reliable and trustworthy. She would made a wonderful teammate for your organization!”


15. Jenna H.
“I’ve known Jenna for my entire life. She has had a few of her own personal pets and has, for many years, watched other pets. She has more than sufficient experience in pet grooming as well including bathing and nail clipping (even of the most stubborn dogs!)”

“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.”
