1. Mark M.

“Mark has been awesome with Chance. My work hours changed and Marks walks with Chance give him the fresh air and exercise he loves so much. Mark has been very flexible with my requests when my schedule changes. I know Chance appreciates the attention!”


2. Paula S.

“Could Paula get any better? It’s impossible. In two visits she has our crazy puppy minding on leash and exhausted for the remainder of the day. Paula even helped source some strategic training in our immediate area. We are feeling blessed to know Paula and appreciate her patience and loving persistence with sweet, crazy Sophie!”


3. Robert G.

“My dog absolutely loved Robert. Wish I needed him for more than just a week!”


4. Jackie H.
About: I have always loved animals. My husband & kids and I had a beloved dog for 15 yrs & really miss him. I’ve also babysat my grand-dog multiple times. I miss having that interaction & would love to care for your pet. I’ve been working from home since COVID began and set my own hrs. Would love to fill the additional hrs with a furry friend. I’m available anytime. Small unfenced yard to enjoy & quite neighborhood for walks. Dog park and walk along river accessible by car. Crating available if needed. Your pet will be spoiled as I will only watch one pet at a time.


5. Abby D.

“Abby has been great! She's always on time or early, and goes above and beyond! Roxzy is a one-person kind of dog so I was apprehensive to try a walker, but she came back today and ran zoomies around the house showing me just how happy she was to get out and moving with Abby! I would highly recommend her for your pet needs 🐶”




6. Jessica & Christopher F.

“Wonderful experience! My doggies were super happy. Thx :)”


7. Shea M.
“Shea is an amazing and thoughtful person and pet parent herself. While I haven't seen first hand how she handles animals at work I have had the pleasure of seeing how she takes care of her own pets. She is loving and caring and so patient with her dogs and birds. She is sweet and always wants to spend time with them. She's always thinking of what to get them for Christmas or another holiday, probably more than she even thinks about what to get people. She's loving and sweet and there is nobody I would trust more around animals.”




8. Erin R.

“Erin was great with my dog Willow. At the meet and greet she was professional and personable. Willow has a little trouble with meeting strangers for the first time and Erin handled it perfectly. Willow warmed up to her on the first walk and adapted to Willow’s initial shyness by feeding her from under our side table by the couch where she likes to hide. She took excellent photos and kept me informed. I highly recommend Erin.”


9. Liz W.

“On time, friendly, and amazing!”


10. Zachary B.
“Zachary has had a lot of animal experience whether it’s been dogs or cats or even chickens. He would help me volunteer at a cat shelter. We have 2 dogs Waffles a German Shepherd mix and Maxwell a Corgi. We have 3 cats Mya, Coco, and Rory. He knows how to hands himself with dogs and cats because he has been brought up with them his entire life. Feeding,walking, or administering medicines. He is very good with animals. Any help I need he is always there to help out.”


11. aiden m.

“Always spends extra time with my dog and makes sure she gets a good walk! Thanks!”


12. Jessica H.
“Jess helped take care of my ranch including 7 dogs and 3 cats while I went on vacation for a week last summer. She has been caring for our pets on vacations for the past few years and always is able to keep the animals happy and cared for. She has had to handle emergency vet services with one of our horses before when it got twisted gut while we were away and was able to care for the horse as instructed which allowed it to make a full recovery. She has a great knowledge of what animals need and how to care for them and they seem to love her just as much! We have been fortunate enough to have been able to utilize her for so many years and we highly recommend using her for all of your pet sitting needs!”


13. Sophie M.

“Sophie has been lovely to work with and has been super sweet with Boomer. He is a larger and sometimes nervous pup but she seemed to have easily won him over! She sent detailed notes and pictures which helped me feel more comfortable with the time I spent away with him. We will be using Sophie regularly many times in the future and I am sure Boomer already looks forward to her visits!”


14. Sydney S.
“Sydney is a wonderful caring and affectionate caregiver for your pet. She is reliable, very responsible in our home and always available when I need her. She has taken great care of our two cats Nala and Kitty and I give my highest recommendation.”


15. Elizabeth P.

“Elizabeth we so great to our dog waffles. It was one of the first times leaving him in over a year and she did a wonderful job making us comfortable and making sure our dog waffles had a great time.”


16. Ashley C.
“With Ashley as your pet sitter you'll have no worries, she's the most responsible and detail oriented person I've ever met. She also has experience training her own family dog, which was not an easy task to do. Honestly if anything were to happen to me I would trust no one else with my dog but Ashley.”


17. Harley L.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I made a dog walking "business" in my neighborhood and would walk my neighbors dogs. I stay at my neighbors house frequently to watch her dogs. I also have my own dog named Scout. Sometimes you'll see me in the neighborhood walking at least three dogs at once. My family friends own a training, grooming, and boarding facility for dogs where I spend a lot of time. I also volunteer at the local animal shelter. I'm a college student that is studying all online so my schedule is very flexible. Out of the entire week, I only have to be on campus for 3 hours so it is very easy to work around my schedule. I am currently living very close to a dog park. I am also a 5 minute car ride away from Sleeping Giant State Park, a great hiking spot where I bring my dog Scout all the time. I will make sure your dog gets their exercise, as there are plenty of areas around me. pet care fits into my schedule very well. i go to school part time and bartend as well but the dogs are always my top priority. i am in the process of getting my dog training certification, specializing in behavior modification. i take life slow, as our pets only have the one life with us and so they deserve to experience things with us as well. i will always ensure that your pets are well taken care of and safe. whether you want to give me a detailed list, or simply have me treat the dog as my own, i will follow whatever “rules” that are set forth with me to make sure the family is comfortable and stress free. i always put my dogs’ safety first


18. Jordyn C.
“Jordyn has been working with us for the past 8 years, she is very accommodating and easy to work with!! Our dogs love her. I can call / text her the night before and if she is available she will be there. I highly recommend Jordyn for any pit sitting or walking services.”


19. Kayla D.
“Kayla is an animal lover. She loves dogs! She cares for, trains, and grooms her Sheltie, Logan. She is a dependable, hard working college student. Kayla is a Girl Scout Gold Award recipient and when she takes on a project she sees it through. She graduated from the Suffield Agri-Science (FFA) program at Suffield High School. Kayla has experience and knowledge working with dogs and other animals such as horses, chickens, goats, and cats.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats all my life but recently I have gotten two kittens that are now 6 months old! Feeding, playing, and cleaning the litter box are my favorite things to do!! Making sure the cats have a clean dish and litter box makes me so happy! This also applies to dogs! I love taking walks and playing with dogs as well! Dogs all have such unique personalities and I love meeting new furry friends! I work 4 days a week in a hospital ER so I am home on the other days of the week and would love to take care of animals while distressing from the ER environment. I have an apartment and multiple kitty condos for my kittens as well as many toys! The food and water are always full and I play with them as much as I can.
