2. Fae A.
“They took care of my 11 year old senior dog last winter when we were in Tennessee for the holidays. She was walked, her food directions were followed and they stayed around at the house everyday so she wasn’t left alone during the day. My dog felt very safe and taken care of and anyone would be lucky to have them take care of their fur baby.”
3. Marco T.
“Marco is fantastic with cats! Whether it’s small kittens, playful adults or old senior cats, he has a caring way with all of them. Grooming & giving oral medication (pills) are part of his skillset. HIGHLY recommend having Marco take care of your kitties.”
4. Trina H.
“Recently I had to go out and do some important errands at very short notice, so I hired Trina to take care of and tend to my Jack Russel dog while I was out. She was a natural with him, he enjoyed her company allot! He absolutely loves walks and has a ton of energy, so she took him on a nice long walk to use up his energy. She is also very a nice and compassionate person, I fully recommend her services!”
5. Jessica D.
About: i've had all sorts of pets growing up, and they were always MY pet because i was the one taking care of them. I now dog sit for my friend when she needs me to, and Ive dog sat for coworkers, i will bathe them if they get dirty playing outside. I live close to the beach so that may happen. I dont have many obligations, i could use a companion on my walks, since I am unable to own any pets of my own at this time due to rental guidelines. I dont have other obligations that require attention, as a previous pet owner i empathize with pet owners and their furry relatives. Taking care of them is always my tip priority.
6. Pearl S.
“Pearl was amazing! She dropped in before our first booking to meet me and my dog, Lola. Pearl fed and walked Lola and sent photos of our happy pooch! Thank you so much for taking great care of Lola. We had peace of mind while out for the night and came home to a happy pooch!!”
7. Nancy S.
“I had to travel during the weekend and Nancy took care of my husky. She took care of my dog for 2 days. I have cameras in my house and I left Nancy a few rules for my husky and she was wonderful. I truly recommend her.”
8. Leilani H.
“Leilani was able to provide several day, overnight care for our dog during our out of state travel. She gave us an opportunity to meet her in advance and make sure our dog trusted her and her space. She sent us several videos while we were gone to ease our anxieties about leaving our pup for the first time. We would trust her to care for our dog at any point in the future!”
9. Jonathan A.

About: With years of pet care experience, I offer a personalized approach tailored to each furry friend's needs. My expertise includes not only basic care but also specialized skills such as puppy training and gentle senior care. What sets me apart is my dedication to creating a safe, loving environment where pets thrive, whether it's through engaging walks, enriching playtime, or attentive companionship. Your pet's happiness and well-being are always my top priority. My daily and weekly routine revolves around providing the best care for furry companions. I allocate dedicated time slots for walks, playtime, feeding, and grooming, ensuring that each pet receives individualized attention and care. Flexibility is key, allowing me to accommodate specific needs and schedules of the pets under my care. Whether it's early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddle time, I prioritize their well-being above all else. In both my home and my client's home, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are paramount. I ensure a pet-friendly space that is secure and free from hazards. There is no potential dangers such as toxic plants, secured gates and fences, and providing cozy bedding and toys. For in-home pet care, I maintain a consistent routine to minimize stress and anxiety for the pets. This includes following feeding schedules, administering medications if necessary, and providing plenty of exercise and mental stimulation through walks, playtime, and enrichment activities. I have a big space of yard for them to feel free to run, play, or simply sun bathe. In my client's home, I respect their space and follow any specific instructions or rules they have for their pets. Communication is key, so I keep clients updated on their pet's well-being through regular updates and photos/videos. Overall, whether in my home or my client's, I strive to create a safe, loving environment where pets feel happy, comfortable, and well-cared for.

About: I have experience caring for both my own dogs and my neighbors' dogs. I am familiar with both small and larger breeds, and I have worked with older dogs that require extra attention and care. My empathetic nature makes me well-suited to take care of your beloved pups. I am currently working part-time, so walking your pups would be more than just a job—it would be a hobby that allows me to spend time with beautiful animals. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are top priorities in my pet care approach. Whether caring for pets in my own home or at a client's residence, I ensure a secure environment by implementing measures such as regular safety checks, secure enclosures, and pet-proofing spaces. I maintain open communication with clients to understand their pets' specific needs, preferences, and any health concerns. This personalized care extends to providing a clean and stimulating environment with enriching activities tailored to each pet's temperament and energy level.
15. Caroline S.
“Caroline is a fantastic pet sitter, caregiver and person. When dog-and-house sitting for us, she communicates clearly and frequently, raises and addresses any concerns calmly, and exercises, plays with and snuggles our dog with love and abundance. Pippin greets her with joy, wiggles and toys, whenever he sees her. I have seen Caroline with her own dogs and cat over many years, including at puppy training classes when she was young. She is a confident pet handler. I know her to be a kind, smart, fun and thoughtful person. I recommend Caroline without reservation.”
16. Agustin E.
About: I’ve had dogs mainly growing up and have now been a dog dad for almost 3 years. Love my little guy and know how much fury friends mean to their parents. I’m also very weary of who I trust with my little guy so ask any and all questions you need to to feel at ease 😊 Im in the military as an instructor so my schedule changes from class to class but I generally know two weeks in advance if I’ll be available. I’m available for drop in visits and walks. I have a big yard and a little bull terrier named scrappy who is very friendly but you don’t have to worry about anything happening to your dog because I am doing in home drop ins and walks. In an emergency I am willing to help someone out though, just let me know what you need.
17. Maria V.
“Maria, was a great dog walker, she was always there on time and made my dog feel comfortable. Very reliable person.”
18. Nicolas V.
“Nicolas was very friendly. A little timid around our dog at first but didn't show any signs of nervousness. Chatted a lot about his experience with dogs as well as his academic plans. Very nice guy. Recommend for walking dogs.”
19. Jessica T.
“Jessica was amazing! She took my last minute booking request, and my dog loved her. I felt 100% comfortable leaving my furry friend in her care. Will definitely book again.”
20. Jonathan M.
“Jonathan has my full trust with my daughter Juno (Labrador). I have known him many years now, he is responsible and careful. When we were coworkers in the Marines he was a great worker, always on time and reliable. Anyone using this app have should have comfort knowing their pet is under his watch. My dog Juno would confirm this message if she could talk. Jonathan is a dog lover no doubt.”
