1. Colin P.
“Colin is amazing! He has watched Mulligan twice now, and has always been excellent with communication, special instructions, and just loving on Mulligan! He was able to come when I needed last minute help, and has been very good with letting me know how the time with Mulligan went. He is such a joy to have around Mulligan! I would highly recommend!”
2. Heather C.
“I am a repeat customer of Heather’s and she’s great! I have an elderly dog that she walks twice weekly for me, and Heather is super attentive, responsive, and reliable. She gives detailed updates, and Holyfield loves her! I have only had great experiences with Heather, 10/10 would recommend”
3. Jess G.
“Jes was great. She cares so much about our dog’s wellbeing. She communicated with us the entire time and that gave us piece of mind throughout our trip out of the country. I highly recommend her.”
4. Stefanie S.
“Stefanie and Jay are fantastic! They've walked and boarded my German Shepherd, Colby, for a week and a half, and I couldn't be happier. They handle him with confidence and kindness, and their communication is excellent (love the photo updates!). What impressed me most was how well Colby got along with their cat during boarding – it shows their ability to manage different personalities. Their husband-wife team dynamic means they're super flexible and available, even last minute. They truly treat Colby like family, even giving him extra playtime on their daughter's birthday. Highly recommend!"”

9. Kelsey D.
“Kelsey has been giving loving care and training to my dogs for years. She has the perfect combination of a true love for animals and a desire to make life better for them and their owners through careful assessment of the dog’s and owner’s situations and needs. I never worry when she is caring for my pets, which also currently include 24 pet rabbits😬! She has also cared for my hamsters, guinea pigs and even a bearded dragon in the past. If you are looking for a caring, responsible person to watch over your treasured pets, I highly recommend Kelsey!”

12. Olivia B.
About: I have grown up with dogs and when adopting our most recent pup, Jax, I quickly realized he was a pup that required more than just a couple walks a day, so we got into running together daily. I offer dog running or walking and look forward to meeting your fur babe(s)! I am currently available Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays for dog walks, runs and drop-in visits and pet sitting Saturday thru Monday. I currently have limited availability Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays but would be happy to discuss scheduling with you! I am very reliable and I will provide water and treats as needed. I will show up regardless of snow or inclement weather. We can customize walks or runs based on your preference of on vs off leash.
13. Rebecca K.
“Rebecca's walked Peanut several times for us, and she always comes home happy and tired. Rebecca is quick to respond, easy to work with, and sends great pics of their time together. It's been so helpful to have someone local and responsible care for our pooch. I highly recommend her services!”
14. Danielle K.
“Dani is AWSOME. She was very patient with my mini schnauzer Toby.He likes to sniff everything and gets upset with other dog walkers when they rush him. She brought her dog Greyhound Zeke who is well behaved and adorable.”
15. Edwin F.
About: I have cared for dogs since I was 12 years old. I have owned a rottweiler, beagle, and a boxer. As an owner of three very different types of dogs, especially the Rottweiler prepared me to take care of and makes it easier for me to understand and carry out the needs of many breeds of dogs, no matter the size. While caring for your pet, I will give him/her the loving and tender care that he will receive, as if he was still at home with you. Trying to fill the void of losing my boxer, Romeo, last year. I am available at all times, morning or night, to answer any and all questions you may have, before, during, or after your dog’s “vacation.”
16. Haley B.
“Haley has been helping me with my pets for years! She takes my dog Spot every time I go away on a trip, and she treats him just like her own animals. She always goes above and beyond, takes him on at least one walk a day, spends time playing with him. She even makes sure to give him extra love at night when she knows he misses me extra! She’s an incredible pet owner, pet sitter, pet walker. Anything you need for your pets, she’s the best person to call.”
17. Bryana S.
“Bryana was great looking after my cat! She sent me updates with photos, and asked questions when it was warranted. My cat warmed right up to her, and settled in for play time and snuggles. I could tell she connected with him, and that she truly has a way with animals. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs someone reliable, caring and communicative to tend to their creatures!”
18. Adrianna L.
“Super knowledgeable and experienced walker who clearly loves animals. Highly recommend!”
19. Joely M.
“Joely was theee beeeeesssst! I needed someone to watch my senior dog Floyd at the last minute when I had to go to a work trip and I can tell he had such a great time. Can’t recommend her enough 5⭐️”
20. Amanda E.
“I love Amanda! She is a hard worker and has taken exceptional care of my pets. I trust her because she has pets of her own and is also educated in veterinary medicine. She has always gone above and beyond for me and my fur babies. Thank you Amanda!!”
