“Fen is an amazing dog caregiver. She recently watched my puppy while I was on vacation and was extremely responsive and professional. She provided regular updates with photos which reassured me that my dog was in good hands. It's clear that she loves what she does and prioritizes the well-being of the pets she cares for. I highly recommend her for anyone in need of reliable pet care. Thanks for the peace of mind and excellent service!”

“Sierra went above and beyond for my [pet type]. Not only did they send the cutest updates (including some adorable photos), but they also paid attention to all the little quirks that make my [pet] special.

15. Sophia S.
“Sophia is the best pet sitter and dog walker! She’s taken my dogs on daily walks as well as pet sat for my dogs and cat over several week periods. One of my dogs was ill and required a rather extreme level of care, and Sophia really stepped up to meet his needs in a way that most pet sitters wouldn’t be able to. It was a relief knowing that he was in her care while I was away. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Judith is a wonderful animal lover. She treats every animal she meets just like a loved family member. I have known her for many years and all of the our pets love her and are excited when she comes in the room. She is known as the treat lady by our horses, cats and dogs. Any animal in her care is completely loved and extremely well looked after!”
18. Katelyn G.
About: I personally have two dogs, Mia and Zeus, Zeus is a 13-year-old yorkie and Mia is a 9-year-old min pin. But I am currently in college, so I haven't seen them in while because they are back home with my parents. I have loved dogs since I am little and am very passionate about them. I have a very flexible schedule when it comes to my schooling, so I really only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, even then on those days I have a very flexible schedule. So, my schedule is really flexible and wide open. I am very responsible and interactive when caring for pets. I would love to play with them and walk with them. I am able to adapt and follow the needs your pet has when it comes to being in your home.
19. Aramie P.
“Arami is super nice and I will definitely look forward to requesting her service again in the future :) Mia was happy too :)”
20. Madison Y.
“Madison loves pets, and pets love her! She’s reliable, nurturing, and responsible, making her a perfect sitter. I always have full confidence when entrusting her with the care of my dog and cat and I can tell they always have so much fun with her. Highly recommend!!”
