“I'm so grateful we found Sophie to help out with our dog Meli! Sophie was flexible and able to come walk our dog a few times per week while I was traveling and my husband was working long hours. She is great with dogs, trustworthy, and communicative. The cute photos she sent of Meli were the icing on the cake! If we are back in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate to hire Sophie again.”

Dogs have the best intuition about people! She is responsible, punctual and excellent at communication. I would trust her with any dogs , cats or pets that need caretaking. She has good judgment, is reliable and is a kind person who treats animals with care and respect. .”
6. Stacy R.
“Stacy, was great! I had her set up to walk my dog a few times a day while I was out of town. She took such good care of him and was super communicative. There were a few days were the weather way bad so she played inside with him and even cleaned my couch when he got mud on it!!! 5 star service! Will definitely be booking again”

“Amanda was very understanding and communicative with our pup who can get shy with new walkers!! She was sure to update us and send pictures and videos which was very helpful. We will definitely be booking her again!”
9. Kerra H.
“Kerra and Chris were sent by a guardian angel when I was getting desperate looking to replace my walkers of a year who were moving out of state. My GSD doesn’t do great meeting strangers, so we have to do a very slow introduction to both humans and dogs. She also has reactivity to dogs around our condo building (which there are tons of) so I needed someone who would be understanding with her when she has big feelings and who I could trust to keep her out of trouble and avoid any dangerous incidents. I had a bunch of meet n greets with potential walkers and none seemed to feel like the right fit for our needs. She took to both Kerra and Chris instantly when she met them and they displayed patience and understanding with her and took the extra time to visit us several times over the course of a few weeks before they started on a permanent basis so she could get very comfortable with them coming into her home and being her guardians when I’m not able to be there during an extremely busy work season that requires 5 days in office and some evening events. They have showed up for her in so many ways, but the biggest favor they did after all of that was to carve out an entire day between the two of them to cover staying with her in my apartment while painters came and repainted the doors in my hall, leaving the door open and without an accurate schedule or window of time to know when they’d be by. My building didn’t accommodate a request to do mine while I was home one day so I was forced to figure out a way to keep Strawberry from being very stressed all day in her crate with strangers coming in and out and they came through for us with just a few days’ notice. I can’t thank them enough. They went above and beyond for Strawberry in a big way. And I feel they both love her and take care of her like their own three pups! I also love that they are a dynamic duo - it helps in times where one may not be able to make the schedule work one day and the other is immediately able to cover without me having to do additional coordination with another walker on the fly! They are truly a blessing in so many ways!”
10. Julia H.
“Julia really saved the day last minute when our walker canceled on us while we were out of town. Very prompt and gave awesome updates that kept me calm while I was away.”
11. Ava L.
“I am Ava’s roommate and have walked many dogs with her. She is great with managing dogs who pull on the leash and are high energy. She is very responsible and gives lots of attention and love to dogs. We have also fostered cats together. She is very responsible in feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and playing with the cats. She would be a great choice to take care of your pets!”
12. Carlyn G.
“Carlyn was awesome! She was patient working through multiple issues with my building, and also gave my pup lots of love and attention! Grateful!”
13. Elise A.
“Elise is a fantastic dog owner and pet sitter. She treats every dog with the same responsibility and care as her own. It is clear through her training of her own dog that she is an experienced and loving pew owner and sitter and I would highly recommend her to any person.”
14. Samantha E.
“Sam is the best!!!!! She watched my baby Jake while I was out of town for a week. She sent daily updates so I knew jake was happy and I could relax! She even brought him to her apartment at night to sleep with him which made me very happy. :) I highly recommend Sam!”
15. Anne W.
“Simply AMAZING! I was overhearing in my room and she didn’t know I was home. When she came in to pick up my pup for a walk she was patient and made sure he had water in his bowl before the walk so when he comes back he can have water. She goes over and beyond and I am so grateful!”
16. Anya P.
“Anya is a fantastic pet owner who has taken care of dogs for the last 5 years. She has experience fostering and is a loving owner of an adorable border collie. I’m 90 percent sure her dog gets more money than me in her will.”
17. Anuhya K.
“Anuhya did great with Autumn, she is a very timid dog so I was terrified of letting a new person walk her. But Anuhya listened to my instructions well and took good care of Autumn. Thank you for doing this, even if it was a bit last minute, I appreciate it”
18. Ana M.
“Ana did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Cooper. He had a great time, and I could tell he was in good hands from the regular updates and photos. Ana was attentive and genuinely cared about Cooper’s well-being. I felt completely at ease knowing Cooper was happy and well-looked after. Highly recommend Ana for anyone needing a dog sitter!”
19. Kori F.
“Amazing thank you”
20. Lauren M.
“Lauren is an amazing dog walker! She connected with my dog immediately who is nervous around most people. Lauren is gentle and patient with my pup and always gives a detailed report of how she is doing. I really appreciate Lauren’s constant reliability and attentiveness!”
