5. Gracie N.
“Gracie watched our two corgis for a week while we were on vacation. She was very professional and came over twice to meet the pups before we left, because it was her first time with them and we usually have family watch them. We received a nice update with pictures each time she came to feed and walk them. They always looked so happy! We felt very comfortable with her and our dogs loved her. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again or recommend to anyone.”

“Joey was communicative, reliable, and extremely caring with my cat and dog during a short weekend getaway. He sent lots of pictures with each walk/visit, which eased any worries that my babies were missing me too much. They both were happy, healthy and excited to see me upon my return, which tells me that they were well cared for and not anxious in my absence. Will request his help with my pets in the future!”

16. Kaitlyn C.
About: Hi Everyone, my name is Kaitlyn and it is nice to meet you! I am excited to spend some quality time walking, sitting, and caring for your pets. I am currently living with one dog. Additionally, I have extensive experience caring for family’s/friends’ pets over the past 10 years. This includes both dogs and cats of all different shapes, sizes, and breeds. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to message me. I am happy to spend some time chatting in order to get to know both you and your beloved pets beforehand. I want to make this a positive experience for all parties involved. I truly look forward to connecting and lending a helping hand with the animals you cherish. I work from home which gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule. This allows plenty of time to walk, feed, and play with pups throughout the day. There is a small fenced in yard/deck, a friendly dog companion in the the house & I have the ability to crate the dog if preferred.
17. Samantha D.
About: I’ve always had a dog in my home, and love any and all pups. My 10 year old dog recently passed. He was a one-dog household kind of guy, so my house feels very quiet without a pup in here. I’m also very used to caring for a dog who doesn’t always love other dogs. I work from home full time and have a large backyard. I can provide a minimum of 1 long walk each day, with frequent breaks out back. I have no other pets and no other people in my home. I have a fenced in yard and am here most of the time each day.
18. Eve O.

19. Dylan H.
“He’s amazing. Very understanding of what the customer wants and needs are. He has a very calming aura. my dog normally barks at people, but she did not bark at him”
20. Liz V.
“Liz was so wonderful with my cats and dog! They were so happy to see her every time she came to take care of them. And she sent me regular updates and was quick to communicate with me!”
