Rylee was great with my dog Poppy for a midday walk. I only booked a couple days in advance and she was super responsive and sent lots of pictures!

Tali had a great walk with Maggie! I appreciated that she came over to meet Tali earlier in the week before the walk and Tali loved her instantly. She was flexible with some time changes and kept me updated after the walk sharing lots of pictures. Will absolutely continue to have Maggie walk my pup!

Stacy, was great! I had her set up to walk my dog a few times a day while I was out of town. She took such good care of him and was super communicative. There were a few days were the weather way bad so she played inside with him and even cleaned my couch when he got mud on it!!! 5 star service! Will definitely be booking again

About: I love all dogs, but I've grown up taking care of primarily large dogs like Pitbulls. My neighbors rely on me very often to take care of their pets when needed. I currently have a very flexible schedule while I am going to college online. I am available during the week and some weekends! Pet care is already built into my daily routine, so please let me know how I can make your day easier by spending some time with your fur baby. During the walks your fur baby is my main focus. I love going for long walks to get some energy out, but short walks are also nice. I walk my sweet dog separately from other fur babies to alleviate the stress of dog introductions.

Isabelle & Diego were a delight! Not only did Oliver, our 10 year old terrier, love them - but we did, too! They came over before we left to understand what was needed every day and took such good care of our boy, including managing his medication. I'd gladly rehire them and would highly recommend them.

Guiselle was absolutely wonderful! She was very kind, patient, and professional from start to finish. She sent great pictures during the walk and kept me updated with clear and consistent communication, which I really appreciated. The routes were well planned, and she made sure my dog got a thorough walk, even exceeding the scheduled time. She also made sure my dog had water for hydration afterward, which meant a lot to me. It was obvious she truly cares about the dogs she works with and takes her role seriously. I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving my dog in her care and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Guiselle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!

Shivani was very quick to respond to our request, and was flexible with the timing of the meet-and-greet before the booking. She gave us plenty of feedback throughout the day and took lots of pictures for us as well. Shivani also was on time for both of the walks we requested. She made the process easy for us, and we’d definitely trust her with our pups again.

We’ve been working with Jennifer for over a month now, and she has been absolutely amazing! She’s incredibly communicative and so flexible with my unpredictable schedule—I can book her a few days in advance, and she always accommodates. Since we just moved from Kansas, my dogs have had a tough time adjusting, especially one who has anxiety, but Jennifer handles them with such care and kindness. Both my girls are so comfortable with her—she’s truly a gem! I can’t recommend her enough!

Josephine is amazing walking our two doggies! They are a little tricky to deal with and she always takes the best care of them! One of our dog’s used to bark so much at her and now she has really calmed down because Josephine talks to her and pets her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker! :)

Dominique was amazing. I was in a little bit of a bind and he came through for me. Trusting that what I told him regarding my pups was the truth (that they are super friendly) and walked them without having met them. Followed all the instructions with out issue. I AM so glad to have found him here.

About: I've had pets my entire life. I used to have 10 dogs, 6 small and 4 big. I also had cats. I currently have a senior black cat who I brought from Brazil with me. I've been caring for her for over a decade now. I am currently not working and have great flexibility to care for pets on short notice, any day of the week and any time of the day! I cannot bring your pet to my house as I have a very territorial cat. But I will care for your pet in your house

About: I’ve taken care of and raise 4 dogs and 1 cat! I miss my family pets since I’ve moved and would love to take care of yours! I work remote so I am able to drop by and let your pet out/ play/ walk your pet as needed! I understand feeling guilty about letting your pet be home alone all day and I’m here to help! I will always be cautious of entering your home and leaving your home to prevent any type of escapes and make sure that they are content before I leave and make sure nothing is in reach to maximum safety!

About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was in high school and even created my own dog walking business during that time! I have my own dog at home that Ive trained to do numerous tricks like to roll over, paw and to dance using what I call gentle parenting. My dog is reactive with other dogs (we’re working on it), which means I have experience with training anxious dogs with keeping their composure with other dogs. I periodically pup sat and walked an elderly dog in the past, so I have experience in that region as well. Im in between jobs right now, so I have a lot of time to spare caring for your pup(s)! I already have a routine of taking my own dog out for walks and potty breaks, so adding another friend to the mix will be all the better! Safety and trust are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I maintain a calm and secure environment, strictly following your routine and ensuring all doors and gates are double-checked. I treat every home with the utmost respect and every dog as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting your furry best friend and providing them with the care and attention they deserve!

Ciara was great with our two large goldens and was super communicative. She made sure our older girl didn’t walk too much in the heat and let us know how they were doing during the walk. Will definitely be using her for more walks in the future!

Albedardo is such a genuine and trustworthy guy! We love him and so do our pups! Our little dogs are like our children so we need to be sure that anyone we entrust their care to is going to treat them with love and kindness. Albedardo does this and then some. Absolutely top class young man, super reliable and flawless communication always keeping us informed of even the tiniest details so that we’re never left wondering how the visit went and how the dogs are doing when we’re not there. Highly recommended!

Ann went above and beyond. Bandit was having an off day and there were several unexpected challenges throughout the visit, but she handled everything with patience, kindness, and professionalism. Rather than rushing him, she took the time to earn his trust and make sure he was comfortable before heading out. Her communication was excellent, despite me being unavailable to answer questions while I was with my trainer, and it was clear she genuinely cared about Bandit’s wellbeing. I’m incredibly appreciative of the extra effort she put in and would gladly book her again.
