16. Tyler S.
About: My grandparents growing up had 4 dogs that I use to help take care of. My family had a golden retriever so I'm accustomed to a lot of energy from dogs. I currently work part time and I'm not at the point yet where I can own my own dog, so I love spending time with dogs so I thought being able to interact with dogs and make some extra money would be awesome! Allowing them time to get out their energy is a huge part of an animals life. Walks are also a huge part its also good exercise for me and very stimulating for the dog.
17. Michael B.
About: Grew up in multi dog household. Have had multiple dogs in the home for 30+ years. Already care for multiple dog families during the week, and that’s because I love dogs. Personally, I can’t bare the idea of raising, nurturing and then losing another best friend, so I value every opportunity I get with a K9. I currently work remote and as a wrestling coach, which allows me the freedom to care for multiple dogs every week. It’s what I love. Forest and field plus neighborhood pond which allows for a natural place to play and have fun. When at a client home, we stick to the rules of the neighborhood, like walking with a leash. Dogs love me and I am great with large and small breeds.
18. Haven A.
“Haven is amazing! She is very conscientious, always on time, very communicative and most importantly, she cares very much about the happiness and well being of your pet. She’s the best pet sitter we’ve ever used!”
19. Anita P.
“Anita was great and helped us on Christmas day!”
20. Raagini S.
“Raagini and her husband were great. They follow instructions to a tee and send pictures and videos. My cat is shy and scared of new people but she warmed up to them. I definitely recommend them and will book again in the future.”
