“Thank you! Following instructions I left behind and problem solving when Oscar my dog had a meltdown 😅. Thank you for being punctual and working with us!”
2. Gaby C.
“Gaby went above and beyond. Her communication, care and punctuality were all top notched! The animals were in great hands. Thanks once again!”
3. Kevin O.
“Kevin is simply awesome! I think Dolly 🐶 and Rico 😻love him more than me! He has house and animal sat for me on many occasions. Not only does he take great care of my furry kids, but he also takes excellent care of my home! While traveling internationally, my water heater blew. Kevin stayed cool, calm and collected. Did a bunch of research and tried a few simple fixes before calling me with the news. With Kevin‘s help, I was able to get a new water heater installed within 24 hours. I know not something you’d expect in a dog walking review, but I was so impressed with how he handled himself I would be remiss not to mention it. Kevin gets 5 stars from me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and all of our thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.”
4. Richard S.
“To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to highly recommend Richard Salazar as a pet sitter. I have had the pleasure of knowing Richard for several years, during which time he has consistently demonstrated qualities that make him an exceptional caregiver, both for people and animals. Richard’s experience with animals is extensive and deeply rooted in a genuine love and respect for all creatures. He has successfully cared for and raised over 15 cats, providing them with the attention, care, and affection they needed to thrive. Additionally, he currently has his second golden retriever cross, further showcasing his dedication and understanding of animal care. Richard’s ability to manage the diverse needs of both cats and dogs speaks to his versatility and competence as a pet caregiver. What sets Richard apart is his empathetic and patient nature. His professional background as a Disability Mentor/Advocate and Direct Support Professional has equipped him with exceptional skills in understanding and responding to the needs of others. These skills translate seamlessly into his care for animals, as he is attentive, compassionate, and adept at creating a safe and nurturing environment for pets. Richard’s strong sense of responsibility and reliability ensures that pets in his care are not only well-fed and exercised but also emotionally supported. He approaches pet sitting with the same level of commitment and professionalism that he brings to his work with individuals with disabilities, making him a trustworthy and dependable choice for any pet-sitting needs. In summary, Richard’s extensive experience with animals, coupled with his empathetic and responsible nature, makes him an outstanding pet sitter. I am confident that he will provide the highest level of care for any pet entrusted to him, and I wholeheartedly recommend him for this role.”

8. Saida H.
About: I have taken care of people who happened to have disability, this has helped to be patient and caring for people and pets in general. I am currently at school but only go Monday though Wednesday at night. So I have more time in the day time and Thursday - Sunday. We can always find a convenient time to schedule. I have helped many times taking care of pets for example walking them, taking baths, feeding them, playing with them. Making sure they are taken good care and respect. I love being around with animals.
9. Luke S.
About: I have experience with a variety of dogs. Old dogs, big dogs, little dogs, farm dogs, outside dogs, inside dogs! You name it! I love being outside and being active so I love taking dogs for hikes/walks/to the beach etc. My weekday schedule is very flexible! I’m free after 8:30 am and sometimes have conflicts from 2-4 pm. Weekends I am completely free, but once again I am flexible! I live right next to Fryman canyon so can take them to get exercise whenever needed! Plenty of space in my house, I have a dog bed and crate. I don’t mind animals on my furniture.
10. Crystina V.
About: I enjoy being active and if I can be active with a pet then thats amazing. We both get in shape and your furrbabies will never be bored. I do make sure all animals are comfortable and if they don't want to go for a walk then I don't want to either. I work a 9-5:30 job. My weekends are mostly available. If needed in morning before 8am or anything after 6pm during the weekdays. I can do! Weekends I am mostly available. Depending on the area I can accommodate. I have a furrbaby of my own so I can tell when a dog is in the mood to play, has stomach aches, going through anxiety, or even just tired. I cope with pets depending on there mood and making sure they are okay. As well, being in someone elses home and the pet not knowing who I am, its good to have them evaluate me for at least 5 minutes to get my sent and feel comfortable with me.

“Ayla has been a dog lover from the time she was a little girl! She became a dog owner at 8 years of age to a rescue, Luke! he was the love of her life, but she learned early on that dog's need companionship, so with her sweet and cunning ways, she convinced Dad that Luke needed a friend, someone to be at home with while she was at school. then came Willie! ayla was so thrilled that Luke no longer had separation anxiety, and that she had 2 dogs to come home to! Buddies all three! then came Kukui and her last rescue, Samwise! Sam was certain to be road kill or coyote food and Ayla couldn't bear it! Dad said, "Ayla! 4 dogs?" "IT will work out" she promised. ANd it has! Ayla has that special something when it comes to animals.....that sixth sense! they love her and she loves them! ”
