13. Caeden S.
“Caeden was wonderful and took amazing care of our dog.

Would definitely recommend Caeden and we will love to have him stay with our dog again.”
14. Kaylee S.
“Kaylee was so patient and professional with our little guy. He endured past abuse so he is very timid with strangers, but he warmed up to her amazingly! Dogs are great judges of character! She kept in great contact and was so thorough! We will definitely use her in the future.”
15. Jenny H.
“My cat Daisy and I had another fantastic experience with Jenny! She worked her magic on her drop in visits to care for Daisy while I was away and my typically stranger shy kitty was happy to come out to visit with her. Jenny shared many photos so I could see my girl was doing well and I returned home to a very well cared for and happy cat.”
16. Taylor D.
About: I've been around pets off and on my entire life. I have experience walking small and medium size dogs regularly, including putting on and taking off harnesses. I am not afraid to roll around on the floor and play with them. I am a firm believer in using dog communication, such as eye contact or lack thereof, and in keeping with the training that already started. If you always put a hand flat for sit, it means sit, if it means lay down, it means lay down. I follow your lead, you know your dog best. I'm currently in between jobs so I'm very consistently open, I will update my availability if something comes up for a day, and I hate letting people down so I pay close attention so I don't overbook myself. Consistency is key for most animals, I'm willing to work with you to maintain the status quo, so to speak, with your pets routine, food, and training.

19. Amanda W.
“Amanda is excellent. Not only is her communication top notch but so is the care and attention to detail she had for my cats/my asks (her 1st sitting was for 18 drop ins over 10 days). My pets loved her too, she is clearly an animal lover, they came right to her on the 1st visit. I highly recommend her.”
20. Loberta C.
“Loberta watches my dogs daily. I have a Boxer that is 4 Years old. I also have a 16-year-old Pugal (Pug and Beagle mix. She does a wonderful job with them she also watches them when we go on vacation. .”
