1. Katharine G.

“Absolutely amazing! Katherine not only booked on short notice (I was freaking out because our normal walker had to cancel last minute!) She was personable, went above and beyond and most importantly to me, Cookie loved her! It’s always scary leaving our pets home for trips etc. Katherine will put you at ease. Thanks again!!!”


2. Anthony G.

“Anthony made sure that he knew every detail about our Lucy. He was confident in making sure she was comfortable with him while walking her and made sure she always had water. Would recommend him for any pet needs.”

4. Christine B.

“Diesel got a long walk today. It makes me happy to see he’s getting the exercise I can’t give him during the day while I’m at work. Thank you!”


5. Susan K.
“Susan would be an excellent dog caregiver. She was raised with animals in the home. She has also had animals of her own in her own home. She is gentle and compassionate with animals. Likes to take the dogs for walks and play with them with their animal toys for their exercise. She has a gentle voice that dogs respond to. This is a person that you would be comfortable with to care for your animal. The animals that she has been exposed to really loved being in her care. She would be a good choice to care for your animal.”

“Destiny is the perfect pet sitter! My dogs get seperation anxiety, so leaving them is hard. Destiny is so patient with them and sends us plenty of updates and pictures to put our minds at ease.”


7. Peyton M.
“Peyton is a wonderful person and veterinarian. She cares greatly for each and every pet, little or small. She looks upon other people’s pets as some of her own and does a wonderful job caring for them. Her compassion and attention to small details is what puts her a step above other caregivers!”

About: I have 2 years of veterinary assistant experience on top of 14 years of general pet care experience. I can administer medications to all temperaments and work with all personalities. I love all ages, and I have experience with puppies to seniors. I’m working part time but as of now I have a very open schedule. Just contact me and I’m sure we can work something out! I maintain a high standard of care for all pets, as they deserve the very best. Frequent potty breaks, play time, and walks are certain to be provided to your doggies. For younger and older pets, I can provide age appropriate care and fun.


9. Mady F.
“Mady is always my go to when it comes to taking care of my fur babies. She arrives at the times I have asked, gives me updates, sends photos. I have nothing bad to say about her. She is also a vet tech, which is a plus and also makes me feel better knowing my animals are safe with her.”

“Cubbie loved her time with Alexandra.”


12. Hailey P.
About: I’ve worked at a vet for about a year now in the back taking care of the dogs boarding. I’ve had the training and opportunities to take care of many animals, dogs, cats rabbits and of all sizes. Love working with them. I have had dogs for as long as I could remember. I’ve always been comfortable and very responsible while taking care of animals. I am also currently in school to be a Veterinary Technician which has helped me with learning to administer meds, CPR, wound care, behavioral concerns, etc. I have also gotten a lot of experience working at a vet as well as having my own animals or watching friends/ families animals. Pet is a daily thing for me, whether it be caring for my own animals, family friends animals, or even the animals I have to care for at school. It is one of the most important things to me, being a voice for animals. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs at home so it a a constant thing to make sure they’re all cared for. Feeding, walking, cleaning up after them etc. It would be the same for me taking care of a clients pet. Feeding, watering, playing or walking, or cuddles. What is best for your pet and most comfortable for them.


13. Annie S.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs all my life! They are always my favorite people and the best at brightening your day. I don’t currently have a dog but I miss them, I am happy to be around them and have experience with all basic tasks of feeding, walking and playing and cleaning up. I am currently between jobs, so I am widely available outside of dropping off and picking up my daughter from school. I would ideally like to take care of pets during the day but I am flexible. We have a fenced in yard for your dog to run around in safely. I have also been trusted to take care of friends dogs while they are away, coming in to feed them, and either let them out in their yard or take them for a walk or to a dog park. I always prefer instructions to follow, just in case your dog has a particular timed routine, diet or other needs.


14. Keyaisa J.
“Keyaisa is a caring person and is great at caring for other people and pets. Great with pets has lived with dogs her whole life and takes care of her dog. She has 3 other sisters she had to raise and watch after. She is a great person to watch after a pet”


15. Corrina K.
“Honestly, I can't say enough about how amazing this girl is! I've known Corrina since she was a bright happy little toddler and she's grown into such a caring, kind-hearted and strong woman. I've seen her care for pets since we were kids and the love she has for them screams "I'm a fur baby mama" and that goes for all animals, not just hers! She's cared for my pets over the years as well and they all love her sooo much! She's been my main pet care person for a long time now. Wouldn't change a thing! Corrina is tough, she can handle big dogs too or animals who aren't that friendly or have anxiety. She's pretty dang smart too when it comes to pet care. She's very serious about doing a great job and making sure your pets get all the love and attention they so rightfully deserve ♡ Corrina is the nicest person I know; you definitely want her caring for your pets/walking your dog(s)!”


16. Izzy B.

“She is a huge help. Was great with my dog and he look really happy in the picture. Can't enough good things”


17. Vince P.
About: Growing up I cared for my two dogs, an Australian cattle dog mix and a German shepherd. We loved them both to the ripe old ages of 16 and 12 respectively. In high school I spent my free time at the local animal shelter volunteering to walk and play with the various dog breeds. My entire life I have loved caring for all types of animals, so this is an amazing opportunity for me to meet even more. I am currently a college student attending school 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). All other days of the week I am free to be booked! My yard is big, but unfenced so I will have to have your dog on a leash for our walks and playtime. I do own a crate and can use it if necessary, but all the specific care instructions can be discussed individually.


18. Megan M.
“Megan is absolutely phenomenal with dogs and cats. I had the pleasure of working with her years ago when we were both bathers at a dog grooming salon, and she always cared so deeply for all of the dogs that came in, no matter their size, breed, age, or ability. She treated each and every dog as though they were a part of her own family. Since then, Megan has helped take care of my cats for me while I've been on vacation, and my extremely stranger-shy cats warm up to her pretty quickly each time. I always come home to find them well taken care of and just as happy (if not happier!) than I left them. I cannot think of someone I'd trust more with my furry babies than Megan. I absolutely could not recommend her enough.”


19. Ashley D.
About: I’ve taken care of my dog since I was 11-12 years old until I was 16 and then she sadly passed away and we got a new dog and I’ve been taking care of her for 3 years. I also have experience taking care of cats I absolutely love cats. And I have experience taking care of rabbits I currently have one I take care of a rabbit and a large dog all the time. I know both need lots of love and lots of play time and attention I will listen to your pets. When they need to go out, when they need to eat, when they want to play, or cuddle. In my home I will make sure they have food and water and I will make sure they go out every 2 hours or so. If they are a larger dog they can play with my puppy she absolutely loves to play. I will also take them for a walk. At the clients home it will be the same and if I can take their animal to the dog park I will do so and let them play I know they also love playing with other animals and not always just with humans
