Sarah has been walking my girls for over six months now and I have nothing but great things to say. She is so patient with my girls "special needs" as well as mine. Sarah is the best dog walker as far as my family is concerned. Gawd forbid she should ever quit walking I couldn't replace her...I would have to take the two hours of my day to drive back home and take care of my dogs and return to work (yes THAT is how good she is).

Lacey was excellent with my Australian Shepards! She kept me updated and informed on their walks and care. She even was able to help assess how to provide special care for the smaller one who is a bit timid and easily bossed by big sister! Thank you so much Laceyn I felt like my pets were being loved even while I was away! Will book again 💯

Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!

Brad was amazing with our dog! He was incredibly conscious and respectful about maintaining any routines and training we had already established with our dog and was great with our sometimes unruly boy! I was very impressed with how communicative he was and took very well composed and extremely cute photos to send us! I would absolutely recommend Brad!

For Christina B. Christina grew up with dogs and a variety of other animals and participated in their care at an early age. She is one that believes that an animal in a home is more than a pet but a member of the family and that is exactly how she treated her own dog, Hector, he was family. She easily provides love, excellent care and protection for her family. A tender and empathetic soul gives Christina an advantage of making a strong connection with family dogs. Regular walks and playtime are a habit making her an exceptional and responsible partner for a dog's enrichment. She's a smart, talented, well versed, beautiful young woman with a nurturing nature wanting to help in a way that benefits the health and happiness of your family member. Shelley A.

Look no further for an amazing dog walker! From the moment I met her, it was clear that her focus was not on meeting me but getting to know my dog. Which is exactly what I want!! Can’t wait for future walks with her, and Mochi was smitten the moment she pet him.

About: I have been around and cared for animals for most of my life! Ranging from mostly cats of all ages to older dogs. Previously I’ve done home visits for check-ins and walks, to house-sitting for those on vacation. I am currently a full-time student, so I have a flexible schedule in between classes during the day and after 5 p.m. I can accommodate overnight care and I am available on the weekends! I am a full-time student, so during the week, I am unavailable... Mon. - 12 pm - 4 pm Tues. & Thurs. - 6 am - 6 pm Wed. & Fri.- 6 am - 11 am, 2 pm - 4 pm On weekends I am majorly available! Within your home, I would be more than happy to perform whatever duties are needed to keep your animals safe and happy. From kettling them if needed, to leashed walks. Just let me know what works best for you. I’m used to watching large dogs in un-fenced yards and having to crate one of them when I leave. Also used to either just take them out to go or take them on long 20-30 minute walks so they could get their exercise.

I absolutely recommend Nichelle to work with dogs of any sort. I know Nichelle to be loving and doting and VERY protective of animals particularly with dogs. I personally have left my dog with her occasionally and enjoyed seeing her interact with dogs, especially to be noted is that she has a big beautiful warmth about her that attracts neighbors and pets. Please consider her as a candidate for a position with your company, she will bring warm and love to any pet in her care. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at (845 ) 649-9854 Sincerely, Kelly Cahill

Carol is always attentive to our pets and will send random pics to see that they are being loved. She asks about behaviors and feeding schedules and always lets our dogs out multiple times per day. She is a joy to be around and we know whenever we are gone that the fort is held down with our pets.

Andrea is our go-to dog sitter and worth every penny. Our dog takes medication, is now deaf and sometimes goes on walks. Andrea is amazing, sends pictures all the time and makes our vacations relaxing because I don’t have to worry about any issues at home.

Miah is an amazing care taker for my pup Rome. She goes above and beyond making him apart of the family and treating him as one of her own. I work 50 hours a week so I have her come check on my dog, take him for walks/play, and feed him if needed. She is a high quality worker and I can’t recommend her enough.
