1. Holly & Joshua & Grace B.

“They did a great job taking care of our puppy and even sent pictures and videos. They communicated promptly and I would definitely use their services again.”




2. Kitty L.


“Kitty is a dog whisperer. One of my two dogs is very shy and anxious. When Kitty arrived to take them for a walk, even after not having seen her in months, both dogs ran to her. I feel completely confident that the dogs are happy and well taken care of when I have either boarded with Kitty or had her take them for walks.”


3. Alyssa S.
“Alex has watched my dogs several times. He is always very helpful and involved with them. He doesn't just come in, take them out, feed them and leave. You can definitely tell he is an animal person. We have moved 2 hours away and hope that he will drive to watch our dogs here. We would 100% be ok with him spending multiple days in our home.”


4. Dolores B.
“Dolores is a great person owner and sitter. Any animal that meets her for the first time is automatically drawn to her kind soul. Her passion for animals is very apparent just by talking to her and your furry loved ones reactions to her. She is the owner of her own dogs who are healthy and well taken cared of. Rest assured your beloved pet will be in the right hands.”




5. Rick M.
“Rick is a kind, nurturing guy and who is passionate about animals and nature. He is intuitive, and seems to naturally anticipate the needs of the pets he's caring for. I've seen him shine with my dog, as well as with his own companion animals. He is careful and pays great attention to detail, all while keeping his focus on the happiness and well-being of his furry friends. He's a fantastic caregiver!”

8. Ashlen D.
“Ashlen is an excellent caregiver to my pets. She is very experienced with dogs and cats but also has been raised around farms and is familiar with outdoor animals as well. She regularly checks on my 11 month old puppy on days that I work. In addition to feeding and exercising, she works with him on commands that he learned from an obedience training program. She is responsible, always making sure he is in his kennel and the door is locked when she leaves. She keeps her appointments and is thorough in her care. Koda absolutely loves her and enjoys the attention she gives when she is checking on him. I highly recommend Ashlen as a pet caregiver.”


9. Margaret B.
“Margaret has a passion for animals. She has cared for our animals for years. She has trained our dogs to do basic commands and has trained her own dog to do some fun tricks too. I highly recommend Margaret to take special care of your fur baby as well.”


10. Gabriella E.
About: I have experience in taking care of dogs, cats and reptiles. I am experienced with puppies through to senior dogs. I understand all animals have a different set of needs. I am currently enrolled in college! Hoping to make some extra money by taking care of loving animals. I want all animals to be in a safe and caring environment! I always try to go above and beyond for my animals and others. It is our job to give them what they need since they are unable to speak for themselves.

13. Benjamin P.
About: **Please note I am disabled and hard of hearing. I will always prefer texts over phone calls. **Check out what your babies get up to and the pictures/videos I didn’t end up sending on our Facebook or Instagram page, Zig Zag Wag pet care! I have experience with a variety of animals, including dogs and cats, horses and livestock, rodents and reptiles, and everything from basic grooming including nail trims and baths to basic behavior training. (See safety section for further details) I have experience with basic first aid. I have pretty much free and short notice availability, thought I limit bookings on WEDNESDAYS and SUNDAYS as my days off. I have a whole zoo worth of pets and need to stop by my own house throughout the day, so any house sitting will be based on regular visits. I have reliable transportation and excellent driving skills in case of needing to transport. My vehicle has a crash tested seat belt and I have a few crash tested harnesses if you do not have one, though providing your own sized for your dog is preferred. I will not provide transport for animals other than cats or dogs and cats and small dogs must be tolerant of being crated for the ride. I am great at working with your schedule with at least 2 hours notice, but Rover does not allow easy schedule changes. If you need to reduce your visits, CANCEL the booking and REBOOK with your new dates, as once Rover confirms your booking it won’t let you reduce the current rate. In your home, I offer basic cleaning services and can ensure any messes get cleaned. I can meet many varied needs and am meticulous with following your house rules for your pets. I do not offer boarding or allow client pets at my home. I will not provide food or other consumables, though I will confirm what treats your pets can have because all good pets deserve treats. I provide basic behavior assistance such as teaching your dog that jumping on people is inappropriate, basic tricks (sit, down, paw), leash manners, but I DO NOT OFFER PAID TRAINING. I am not a certified trainer in any capacity, though I have trained many of my own animals (including rats and cats!)


14. Ericka W.
“I highly recommend Ericka for this position. She is a very honorable, responsible, and trustworthy individual. Ericka is always dedicated to the task at hand. She loves being around animals and vice a versa. My dogs always look forward to her company. In essence, Ericka will make a fabulous addition to your team. Please let me know if you need any other further information.”


15. Heather L.
About: Hello my name is Heather. I've been a vet-tech for the past 13 years. My last job was working in the surgery/emergency department at a specialty animal hospital. I absolutely loved my job! I've had two rescue dogs in my past recently had to put one down, so as of right now we currentlyhave no pets in my home. I'm well knowledgeable with medications and insulin if needed ect. I recently had a daughter and as most mother's we want to stay home with our children, I've decided to be a stay-at-home mom for now. But I absolutely miss working with furry babies. One of my friend's told me about this site! I'm looking forward to see what this site brings me! Thank you! 😊🐶❤


16. Destiny W.
“Destiny lives down the street from me and she watches my dog luna while I’m out of town or working a long shift. Luna absolutely loves her and she is great with her. She doesn’t just come and let her outside and feed her but she spends time playing with her and showing her some love while I’m not there. Destiny is very dependable and trustworthy. When I go out of town she will even stay the night at my house to make luna feel more comfortable. She is such a sweet animal lover.”
