“Joe was great! I booked him very last minutes on Christmas Eve due to the weather and he was very responsive! Immediately made sure that they was nothing special my pups needed and asked if there was anything extra I needed done. 100/10 would book him every time if I could!”
11. Allison M.
“Alli M. is truly a one-of-a-kind pet sitter! She cared for my puppy, Oakley, with so much love and attention, and it was clear from the start that she’s a natural with animals. Oakley can be a bit shy around new people, but he warmed up to Alli almost immediately. She has such a calming and gentle presence that I could tell he felt safe and happy with her. What truly stood out to me was how attentive and in-tune Alli was with Oakley’s needs. Whether it was taking him out for playtime, feeding him, or just giving him some much-needed cuddles, she made sure he was always comfortable and loved. She even sent me little updates with pictures of Oakley throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was in the best hands. Alli’s care and compassion aren’t just limited to dogs either! I’ve seen her interact with cats as well, and her ability to connect with them is just as impressive. She has a genuine love for all animals, and it shows in everything she does. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, Alli is the absolute best choice. Oakley and I couldn’t be more grateful for her!”

16. Amanda S.
“I can't say enough positive things about Amanda and her drop-in play dates and dog walking services! It's clear that she genuinely adored spending time with my Jacob. Her enthusiasm and care for my dog were evident in every interaction. Not only did she ensure my dog got plenty of exercise and playtime during visits, but she was also willing to give Jacob his medication. I'm beyond grateful for the peace of mind she provides knowing my dog is loved by her and being taken care of. Highly recommend Amanda for all your doggie play date and walking needs!”
