1. Dawn M.


“Dawn took such great care of our dog when I was away. I will reach out again to see if she is available next time I travel. Even though my family was home I felt better knowing Dawn was coming each day and my fur baby’s needs were being met. Thank you so much, Dawn!”

4. Julia K.

“Julia was kind, thoughtful, and attentive to our pup. Even when there was a slight hiccup, she was communicative and supportive. We will definitely be contacting Julia again!”


5. Rodrigo C.

“I recently had Rodrigo walk my dog and couldn’t be happier with the service! He was a professional, and clearly had a genuine love for dogs. My beagle boy returned home happy and well-exercised after the walk. He even went beyond the agreed duration of walk. I highly recommend Rodrigo for anyone looking for reliable and caring dog walking services!”


6. Jennielyn B.
“I’m thrilled to recommend Jennielyn as an exceptional pet sitter! She has been a fantastic caregiver for my dogs, Jackson and Muñeca, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. When I met her, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and understands animals. Jennielyn makes dogs feel safe, comfortable and loved, which is such a gift. Jackson and Muñeca instantly connected with her, and what’s even more impressive is how well they got along with her dogs. She created a harmonious and safe environment where they all could thrive. Jennielyn’s attention to detail, from feeding schedules to playtime, made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She’s caring, responsible, and treats every dog as if they were her own. I wholeheartedly recommend Jennielyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”

“A kind consistent person. Thank you! Madison”


9. Kelsey K.

“Kelsey showed up on short notice and took our Cardigan Welsh Corgi for the hike that he needed! He was happy and tired, which is just what we needed. Kelsey went above and beyond in getting him harnessed and dried off afterwards since my mobility didn't allow that.”


10. Byung jae C.
“He’s one of those rare people who animals just seem to connect with immediately. I’ve seen dogs that are usually shy or hesitant warm up to him in no time, and it’s clear that he genuinely loves and understands them. His care for pets goes beyond just the basics—he takes the time to make sure each dog or cat feels safe, loved, and happy. What sets him apart is his attention to detail and his natural ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s an energetic dog that needs a lot of play and exercise or a more reserved cat that prefers quiet companionship, he knows exactly how to make them feel at ease. He’s incredibly reliable and thoughtful in everything he does, and I’ve always been impressed by how seriously he takes the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your furry family member as if they were his own, I can confidently say he’s the person for the job!”


11. Eugene P.

“Eugene was amazing with our two dogs, taking them for a daily walk when I was out of town. Our dogs are reactive to strangers and she took the utmost care to make sure that they were comfortable getting onto the leash with her. She was reliable and provided clear communication. We would definitely ask her to walk our dogs again in the future and recommend her to anyone.”


12. Janet H.

“Janet was great and super reliable! Would book again!”


13. Marie W.

“Marie is a five star dog walker! She is incredibly organized and was always right on time. Cassie loved her walks with her. We will be using her frequently in the future.”


14. Mariam K.

“Mariam is great, very sweet with my dog. I had her come to my home for 30 min walks. She’s dependable and great at directions and personal requests. I felt like my dog was very safe with her and will 100% use her services again”

About: I worked at a specialized pet store for many years. while there, i spent my time researching different pet products as well as taking care of the clients pets wether that’s walking the dogs or making sure they get fed at night while the parents are on vacation i currently am in college however I am able to work during the week after noon. weekends are free. basically i’m free anytime after 12 everyday It depends on the dog and the clients requests. if the dog i am watching is extremely energetic. i might take him outside and play with him for an hour or so to wear him out. but ultimately I care for the pets however the clients see fit.
