5. Patricia D.
“Pat is amazing! I was looking for a sitter to not only watch my new fur baby while I was out of town, but also someone who does daycare. When reaching out to Pat she started the process with a meet-and-greet to ensure our fur babies were a good fit, I really appreciated that extra step. I sent my baby to Pat yesterday for daycare for the very first time, and Pat made the experience amazing! She sent me pictures and videos to quell my nerves and sadness for having to leave my baby while I went to work for a 12-hour shift. I felt like she cared for my Miss Lucille like it was her own dog. Speaking of her own dog, Pat has the sweetest fur baby, Gilly. Gilly is a gentle giant who is so patient with Lucille, as Lucille is still learning to play with fur friends. I am 100% satisfied and thrilled to have found Pat as a sitter for my baby, and I already have my next two sittings booked with her.”

17. Kimberly C.
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved furry family member to the care of Kimberly while I was away, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From our initial meeting, it was evident that Kimberly has a genuine love and passion for animals. Her warm demeanor immediately put both myself and my dog at ease, and I felt confident leaving my pet in her capable hands. Throughout the duration of my absence, Kimberly went above and beyond to ensure that my dog felt safe, loved, and well-cared for. She not only tended to my dog's basic needs but also took the time to engage with him in activities that he enjoys, such as walks and playtime. It was heartwarming to receive updates and photos, which reassured me that my dog was in good spirits and enjoying himself. I highly recommend Kimberly to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Her dedication to the well-being of animals is truly commendable, and I will not hesitate to entrust her with my dog's care in the future.”

About: I’ve had at least one dog in my house since I was born and I couldn’t imagine life without pups in the home (is it even a home without animals? 😉) My husband and I have a mini dachshund and a mini Australian Sheppard who love to play with other friendly dogs. I was a teacher so I’m very organized and used to caring for others all day. I work from home so I am available all day throughout the week and weekends to let your dog outside and give them lots of attention. I have a really big yard with grass for your pups to enjoy! I also have two small dogs who love to play and would love some friendly visitors. I can easily crate your dog if needed or accommodate most requests.
19. Bailey S.
About: I have taken care of houses, plants, animals, and kids since I was in high school. My jobs throughout college and beyond are all through those I've networked with via caretaking. I work from home and am on a flexible 9-5 schedule. Aside from a few weekly calls I can walk/sit at any hour. I go on daily walks so why not add a pup! I have a big backyard and live a short walk to the beach and river. If you pup loves to play, I have a great spot. I am an animal lover and we do care for our neighbors outdoor cat sometimes. If your pup is not cat friendly, just let me know beforehand so I can make sure the cat stays away.
