1. Hagen B.

“Hagan was prompt on arrival and Luc seemed to miss him once he brought him back from his 60 minute walk. I will definitely hire him again.”


2. Kirren R.


“Kirren was great and super communicative! She sent pictures throughout her day with Sully and took great care of him! Will definitely be booking with her again.”


3. Grace V.

“Grace was absolutely wonderful. She was able to walk my pups on super short notice which is difficult to find sometimes. She did everything perfectly and sent lots of great pictures. Would definitely use her again!”


4. Aakash A.

“Great guy! Really appreciate the help with my pup”


5. Paige B.

“Paige is great! She always communicates her arrival time and shares photos and updates from the walk. My dog always comes back a bit worn out and very happy. He is always waiting at the door and excited to see Paige.”




6. Jose T.

“Jose has walked our pup numerous times and his promptness, communication and care is so dearly appreciated. We’ve booked him in advance and with short notice and he always remains professional and consistent in his care.”


7. Kova R.

“Thank you!!!”


8. Jenn M.

“Jenn is a great! She took Winnie on a walk and played with her ( cause she doesn’t love long walks)! It was such a relief having her check on my pup during the week. I will definitely book her again!”


9. Giovanna P.

“Very timely! Great communication! Took our pup on a long needed walk. Highly recommend!!”


10. Michael P.
“Michael has such a kind and gentle way with animals, and it’s especially clear in the love he gives to Turbo. Watching them together, you can see the trust and joy they share – it’s like Turbo knows he’s the luckiest dog in the world. Michael doesn’t just care for pets; he truly connects with them, always patient, always thoughtful. Whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just sitting quietly together, his bond with animals is something special. Turbo’s happy tail wags say it all – Michael is a true animal lover with the warmest heart.”


11. Karen A.
“Karen has been an absolute lifesaver for us! She’s reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. Our fur baby always looks happy and well-cared-for when we get back. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in good hands. Highly recommend!”




12. Emily M.

“Punctual, Friendly, Available, Fair, Trustworthy, Great with our dogs. Emily has been a great help in selling our house. She shows up right on time and takes our mom and daughter Long Hair Chihuahua duo to do the things they love like long walks and car rides so that potential buyers can view the house without them yapping away. She even helps out with little odd ball things like letting buyers in the house when their agent can't figure out the key box or closing doors around the house to cordon off the pups. We fully recommend Emily to anyone looking for a dog walker.”


13. Alexus W.
“My granddaughter is a great dogsitter and catsitter and has taken care of my 5 dogs from time to time. She has provided care for my dog of old age, Max, with medicine for his cataracts. She has also fostered in a few labrador puppies feeding them formula, giving a flea bath, and taking them in for their shots. I recommend her as she loves animals and is a hard worker.”


14. Alice D.

“Alice was so sweet and friendly to my girl! Tully is still a pup so she pulled a bit, but Alice worked with her and attempted a jog! Would gladly book again!”


15. Jeremy P.

“Jeremy is a great Rover walker. It’s so hot outside that we needed to bump back the time of the walks and just mostly play indoors and he is very accommodating. Our dog loves seeing him each day!”


16. Jennifer W.
“Jenn is a great girl. She cares for everything especially dogs. Jenn takes pride in everything that she does. She takes care of everyone! She’s awesome!”


17. Ludovic P.


“Ludo took excellent care of both of my dogs and was great at communicating and anticipating their needs. I loved receiving all the cute photo and video updates he sent and could tell that my dogs liked being around him. Would definitely recommend him to care for your pet!!”


18. Sarah S.

“Sarah took great care of max! She was patient with him when he was a bit nervous at first and kept me updated through the whole process. Loved all the photos, will definitely book again!”


19. Kate B.

“Kate was amazing! Super communicative and was able to adjust my walk time when my schedule changed. Really appreciated all the info she provided about how the walks went and I’ll be checking her availability whenever I need a walker!”


20. Alison U.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Ali! She is the best and is amazing with pets, dogs and cats alike! She is very responsible, caring ,and gentle with them. You’ll never need to worry, trust me. She loves caring for them, spending quality time with them, and playing with them. If Ali’s cat and my dogs could speak, they would whole heartedly join me in recommending her!”
