1. Karen A.
“Karen did a wonderful job walking our dogs. We have one very high energy dog that can be difficult to walk until he releases energy and she handled him with such ease! Both of my dogs came back from each walk completely exhausted, it was perfect and exactly what we wanted! Karen was so lovely and we look forward to having her walk our dogs again!”
2. Karly C.
“Karly is great!! My dog Kaia was a little hesitant about going too far from home with someone she only met once, so Karly just did what she was comfortable with, and adjusted with her as she got more comfortable. Kaia loves to chase lizards and roll in the grass and I really appreciated that Karly wasn’t on a power walk with her, she just let her enjoy being outside for an hour and potty, and get her some love and a licki mat, which was everything I wanted. 10stars”

15. Emily P.
“Emily was WONDERFUL. She helped us at the last minute when we were anxious about taking Zeus back to a less than great boarding facility. Zeus was happy in every picture she sent and I still don’t how she got him to perk his ears each time. He has been calm since we returned and usually he’s anxious and whining. Love Rover and Love Emily. She will be our pick every time especially for walking Zeus in his raincoat.”
