1. Jenevieve Y.

“Jenevieve is a literal angel. She was just supposed to do a drop-in to see Deku and let him out. My A/C went out the night before the scheduled visit and it’s was 100 degrees outside. Jenevieve took him to her home to watch him for the day while I was at work. If it wasn’t for her, Deku would definitely not be okay! She saved the day and saved me from so much stress during my first day at my new job! A literal lifesaver!”


2. Ash B.

“First time customer and it went perfect. PERFECT!!! Communication was great every day with pics of all our pets. We highly recommend Ash and we’re certain our cats and dogs do too. :-)”


3. Cory W.

“Cory is an exceptional dog sitter! He took wonderful care of our energetic Aussie, keeping us informed every step of the way. He even handled a small accident in the house with professionalism and ease. Highly recommend!”




4. Cory G.

“My dogs and cat were in such good hands. Highly recommend him. Will use again and again. Was in another country and he was so patient with my payment issue. I didn’t have to worry even at 3700 miles away.”


5. Jaden B.
“I have never met someone who cares so much about animals, especially dogs! Unfortunately his dog passed away about 2 weeks ago now and this is most definitely the right gig for Jaden. Someone who has been close to this man and his dog I have never seen anything like it…. Trust me your beloved pet with be in great hands. A man who cares truly so much that I can personally guarantee he will act like it is very own best friend.”


6. Chelsie L.

“Chelsie does an amazing job updating us via Rover card with details about each visit and photos of our pet. Her communication is great, and we would definitely book her again!”


7. Andrew & Jackson G.

“These guys are amazing. I have a big Blue Great Dane and my dog loves them. They are attentive to him and his needs. Great communication with the guys too. They send pics and great reviews of the day with my dog.”


8. Kaitlin B.
“Kaitlin is one of the most kind and caring caregiver to pets. She is so great in encouraging the dogs to run and play when she is with them and is able to build a quick and secure connection. She loves the outdoors and would make sure your loved pet would get the opportunity to explore. I highly recommend Kaitlin for pet needs. She’s simply the best!”


9. Stephanie V.


“Stephanie gave great care to my cat. She was very attentive and loving, even though he is high maintenance! She was always on time and left thorough reports of how her drop-in went! She's awesome!”


10. Paige M.

“Was so great squeezing us in last minute, went right over and let the dogs out. They had a blast with her, and she even messaged to get a towel to wipe their paws since it was wet out! Thank you!!!”


11. Julie R.

“Best ever!!!”


12. Christina U.

“Did a wonderful job filling in and picking up the slack after my first sitter decided to take 4 days off without a peep. Life saver. Thank you Christina.”


13. Holly S.
“Holly is great! She is very friendly, accommodating, and will make sure she does everything she can to make your fur baby comfortable. I highly recommend!”


14. Shannon M.

“Shannon was awesome. When we first met her, she asked a lot of questions and really paid attention to Noslo. Since she was scheduled a few weeks in advance, as we got closer to the time scheduled, she reached out and was very easy to communicate with about our needs and Noslo's needs. Since we were going to be gone for long periods of time during the day, we set up times that she would come each day to give Noslo a break. She followed the plan and was able to play ball with Noslo and give him some attention to keep his mind off of us being gone for most of the day. She always kept us updated (even when we weren't responding to her messages) on what was going on and what Noslo was doing and feeling. She was very attentive to his needs and she really cared about how he felt. Although Noslo did miss us, we know that with Shannon stopping by and taking care of our baby during the day, he was able to expend some energy and I'm sure it eased some of his anxiety. We will be definitely requesting Shannon's services again!”


15. 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. ❤️


16. Sze yin G.
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.


17. Rachael W.

“Absolutely wonderful. Never had to worry about what my girls were up to to or how they were doing. Rachael kept me well informed while I was out of town. Definitely, I will schedule again.”


18. Karissa M.

“We absolutely adore Karissa and feel so relaxed when we need to go out of town. She is great with my boys and gives them so much love and attention!”


19. Dalen M.
About: I currently own 2 dogs and a cat. I have owned and taken care of a countless number of pets throughout my childhood and young adulthood. I’m currently unemployed and looking for a part time job. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to work any day of the week. I have a spacious fenced in backyard that my two loving dogs currently share. I also have a large and small crate for traveling purposes.


20. Priscilla R.
“Priscilla loves dogs and happy helped us raise our litter of Great Pyrenees/Red Bone Coon Hound puppies. She was helpful in setting up our puppy area and keeping it clean. She came and helped me keep the puppies and Mom on their feeding schedule and did all our other chores as well. She lives her own animals and is very positive person.”
