“Heather is the absolute best dog walker we have ever had. She goes above and beyond on each visit, always staying longer than she needs to to make sure our dog is happy and taken care of. We trust her completely. She will even bring her own toys to help exercise our very active beagle. She sends adorable pictures and notes with each visit. Recently, she went back to our house after her scheduled visit to open windows because she was concerned the fumes from some floor staining would affect our animals! She is very attentive and responds quickly to any questions or concerns we have. Her schedule is very flexible and accommodates whatever we need. You can tell she truly cares for all animals. We love Heather and recommend her without any reservation!!”

Joseph K.
“🐾 🐾🐾🐾🐾 Joe is paws-down the best! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Joe is a college student with a big heart and serious pet-whisperer skills. From the first visit, our pup was smitten—and honestly, so were we. He’s super dependable, always sends sweet updates (the photo diaries are a bonus!), and has a great instinct for knowing when it’s time to walk, play, or just chill. Every visit leaves our furry friend happy and totally tuckered out. If you’re looking for someone who’s trustworthy, thoughtful, and clearly loves what he does, Joe’s your guy. Five stars all the way!”
