1. Marie-Andree R.
“Marie was great, and able to accommodate me with on a short notice! She a fantastic dog walker- my dog Hazel, gets anxiety around this time of the year with fireworks but Marie has been extremely patient & went beyond my expectations.”
2. Yaisa R.
“Yaisa was awesome for walking Toko and Arya when I was away at work during the day! She showed up on time and would take them for a nice long walk through the neighborhood. My pups were surprisingly well behaved with her and I loved all the pictures she would send me! They always looked happier on days after she visited. I will definitely book again when I need someone to check in with them if I'm out on a day trip or any long work weeks.”
3. Sean G.
“Sean is very attentive and loving to our Cane Corso. I strongly recommend Sean to anyone in the area looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to walk or care for their fur babies.”
4. Theresa F.
“Theresa graciously accommodated a very last minute request when I needed to take care of work and couldn’t take my energetic Coby for his long walk in the AM. Coby is happy and I am too!”

6. Jessica V.
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience in pet care, my passion for animals runs deep. I don’t just watch over pets—I genuinely bond with them. Every animal I care for is treated with the same love and attention as my own. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or a senior pet with special needs, I adapt to their personalities and needs. What truly sets me apart is my commitment to making each pet feel at ease, safe, and happy. You can rest assured knowing your furry family members are in the most caring and experienced hands. I currently work from home, which gives me the flexibility to help during slower weekdays as needed. My schedule is even more open on weekends, making it easier to provide care whenever your pets need it most. I completely understand that trusting a stranger can be difficult—I feel the same way. That’s why I want to emphasize that trust and safety are my top priorities when caring for your pets. I take my responsibilities seriously and am committed to respecting your space, following your instructions carefully, and ensuring your home is secure at all times. You can rely on my professional, dependable approach to give you peace of mind, knowing your pets and home are in good hands. I treat your home with the same care and attention I would my own, and I’ll keep you updated throughout to build trust every step of the way.
7. Matthew S.
“Mathew was amazing with our dogs while we were away. I liked that he provided daily updates with pictures. Our dogs seemed very happy with him. Would definitely use Mathew again to watch our dogs.”
8. Briana B.
“Briana watches our 3 dogs (&3 cats) whenever we take a trip. Our “children” need special care and have various feeding needs and Briana takes care of them all. Whenever she’s at the house, my “kids” prefer her over us!☺️ She lives out brood and it shows!”
9. Claire C.
“Claire was initially a substitute dog walker for my 5 year old Lab, Kona but after a few walks with Kona has earned both my and Kona’s approval for a punctual and caring walker. Her communication is good too! I hope Kona has more walks with Claire in the near future! I recommend her without hesitation.”
10. Vinny B.
“Vinny was nothing short of amazing! We were very nervous to leave our dog in the care of a stranger for the first time but from the moment we met Vinny, we knew he was in good hands. Our dog has a big bark but Vinny was calm and confident with him and earned his way into his good graces. He sent us pictures, was prompt in responding, and went above and beyond. Our only complaint is that Rover won’t let you tip more than 30% because he absolutely deserves more! We look forward to booking him in the future and resting easy on our vacations knowing that Hanzo is getting the best care.”
11. Carrissa M.
About: I have had and cared for dogs my entire life. My family had 3 dogs growing up, and I own a cat myself whom I got as a kitten and have raised myself. My current dog is at home with my parents but she is for sure a family member! We put her needs as priority and take amazing care of her. I am currently enrolled as a student at UCI. I am flexible with my schedule and can discuss more specifically about times if needed for sure! I am very loving and caring for my pets. I see them as one of us and treat them as such. I am used to giving lots of affection, but also discipline if that is needed in the pet. I can be assertive, but also very loving, attentive, and energetic!
12. Dalene K.
“Our dog loves Dalene so much. She had great command over a very strong dog immediately and was able to flex her style with ease to match him. Extremely professional and reliable. We’ll be using her again very soon for overnight care.”
13. Luiza E.
About: I started taking care of my huskie when I was around 12 years old. She needed medication and attention since she couldn't leave the house anymore because of her age. At 14 I got a shih tzu mix and became a dog mom :) He is my little angel and I care for him like a family member. I am the one responsible for him. I've also occasionally dogsat for neighbors which have always mentioned how much the dogs liked me. I'm working 3 days a week in the afternoon so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your pups. I have great organizational and time management skills. My dog's diet consists of vegetables and meat so I'm experienced with handling different foods and/or meal schedules. My dog also takes medicine so I'm familiar with handling those with different dogs. I'll make sure to play and keep company for your pets as long as they're comfortable with it. I'm free all morning mostly and Tuesdays and Thursdays all day. I'll make sure to work around our schedules and set some quality time for me and your babies! As I'm taking care of your pets, I'll make sure to make them as comfortable as I can by giving my full attention. During walks, I'll make sure the weather is suitable for their paws and well-being. I'll also make sure they do not stay on the side of the road. During home visits, I'll make sure to align to what the pets are used to already while being careful and mindful of known allergies, behavior, and others.

“Jacqueline. Did a great job. We felt at ease with her pictures and updates and would request her again. You have many options on River. Choose Jacqueline!”
15. Danielle & Christopher M.
“We have nothing but good things to say about the way that Danielle and Christopher cared for our dogs and for our house. They were extremely thoughtful in their questions about the dogs (routines, treats, temperaments in a variety of situations, etc.). It was also a relief for us to know that our house was being cared for while we were gone for an extended period of time. In all, two paws up for these guys. We will definitely be using them again.”
16. Laysha "Rosie" A.
“I wholeheartedly believe Rosie would provide safe and loving care for any pet. She has cared for my pup on multiple occasions, and each time, she has gone above and beyond to ensure his happiness and wellbeing. She is a responsible and kindhearted person who has a natural way with dogs. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about animals and their wellbeing. Rosie is always punctual, reliable, and goes the extra mile to make sure my dog feels loved and comfortable. I’ve watched her bond with my dog in no time, and it’s heartwarming to see how happy and secure my pup feels around her.”
17. Clarisbel C.
“Claris is an exceptional dog sitter to trust. He took care of our beloved Totty with love and commitment. Totty was always excited to see her and came home happy and healthy. Claris is the perfect choice for any concerned pet owner. Thank you for taking such good care of Totty!"”
18. Walter B.
“Walt did an exceptional job watching my 8 month and 9 year old Labrador Retrievers. He ensured that they got 2 walks each day and sat and played with them throughout the day. At night he snuggled with them and ensured that adjusted for their 10 day stay. I would book Walt for my next vacation”
19. Nicholas C.
“Great work and very understanding.”
20. Helen P.
“Helen has been confident and caring when looking after my two dogs. They have very different energy levels. One being on old back labrador and the other being a bouncy, lively young spaniel. She has been great when looking after them.”
