2. Evelyn R.

“Evelyn got back to me quickly and came for a meet and greet right away. My baby Cooper had a rough puppyhood and is afraid and reactive.He’s very strong and can pull me down. I am always worried that a new walker might not be able to handle him. Evelyn was confident putting my mind at ease. She is wonderful and sweet to Coop , who loved her immediately. I am so lucky to have found her. Evelyn is kind and calm and I believe she could handle any situation. Cooper and I are so happy.”

About: Taking care of animals isn’t just a job to me, it’s a hobby! Giving them the proper care they need brings me happiness everyday! I’ve had animals since I was 5 years old, and I’ve learned so much as a I got older. Bathing them, making sure they have a consistent food schedule, and giving them love and attention is my main priority! I will love your fur babies like my own and give them the best care they need. I’m currently working in a restaurant, so my availability would be Sunday through Thursday the full day and night, and every other Friday and Saturday. In your home I’ll first make sure your fur baby trusts me and gets used to me as I know I’m a new person in their home. I’ll make sure their properly fed with your schedule, bathe them if need be, taking them on walks every couple of hours, and giving them one on one attention.

18. Sophia F.
“As Sophia’s father, it brings me a deep sense of pride to write this testimonial. From the time she was young, Sophia has had a special, almost instinctive bond with animals—especially dogs. She’s not just good with them; she connects with them in a way that’s rare and beautiful to witness. Now 20 years old and a junior at the University of Florida studying Environmental Science, Sophia has always had a heart rooted in compassion—for nature, for people, and especially for animals. She has grown up with three Golden Retrievers: Dewey, Jackson, and Monte. (Ollie and Charlie our cats too) These dogs weren’t just pets—they were family. I’ve seen her rise early to walk them, nurse them when they were sick, laugh with them, talk to them, and love them with her whole heart. She treats every dog as if they were her own, with patience, gentleness, and a joyful spirit. When Sophia is with a dog, you can feel the mutual trust and love. It’s not forced—it’s who she is. She’s dependable, responsible, and deeply caring. There is no one I would trust more with a beloved pet. If you’re looking for someone to care for your dog the way you would—maybe even better—Sophia is the one. I give her my wholehearted recommendation and a very enthusiastic 5 out of 5 stars. Sincerely, Bruce Famiglio A very proud father”


19. Ashley A.
“Ashley is a very special person. She has the warmest and most open heart than anyone I know. I could never imagine taking care of a stranger’s child, especially not a room full of them. Ashley is different. She sees who needs help and she help them, just like she helped kids at a daycare and still helps kids now and then. Now, when it comes to animals, Ashley actually has a dog of her own who is the sweetest and most energetic dog you will ever meet. More importantly, this dog is well-cared-for and is always friendly when Ashley takes in friends’ dogs.”
