“Aniah is a natural with dogs! Our 2 very energetic Labs loved their walk and are now pooped out on the tile in our kitchen. Couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you, Aniah!”
2. Jasmine B.
“My dog is very friendly but when it come to strangers sometimes it takes a little for him to warm up, today was one of those days but Jasmine was amazing and eventually my dog warmed up to her!! She is so sweet and caring. I would definitely book her again and recommend.”
3. Christina P.
“Christina watched my dog 3-5 times per week (depending on the week) and was absolutely amazing! Very reliable, kind and thoughtful. My dog was really comfortable with her right from the beginning! If I didn’t have to relocate, I would continue using Christina for years! 10/10 recommend 🐶”

“Je connais Romain depuis 20ans et aussi loin que je me rappelle il a toujours été entouré d’animaux. Des chiens, des poules, des chevaux. Il est à l’aise avec tous et adore s’en occuper.”
7. Gia S.
“She is communicative, conscientious and sure knows dogs! She’s wonderful with my little guy because he’s always a bit timid when he meets someone new but by the time they came back from the walk, they seemed like old friends. Will definitely use her again.”
8. Christopher S.
“I was very happy with Christopher! Tessa typically warms up more to women than men. But Chritopherwas definitely an exception! Christopher dutifully kept me abrest of their walks together, and reached out directly for specific needs .. I will definitely book Chritopher again!”

“Kailea did a great job.”
10. Mindee M.
“Mindee is everything I wanted for my dog. Mindee is competent, comfortable and friendly with Coco. I feel totally comfortable sending her off for a walk even though Mindee is brand new to her. We feel fortunate to have found her.”
11. Nicole L.
“So thankful for Nicole! My dogs had such a great time with her! She was incredibly professional and punctual. She communicated with me very well which gave me a lot of reassurance.”
12. Helen W.
“Helen is a true dog lover. She is able to work with all sizes of dogs. She has worked with a trainer and has a very good understanding of animal behavior and how to work with difficult behaviors. Helen taught me that the dog walk is not just bonding/training time between dog and walker but also an exciting sensory experience that is very important in very dog’s day. She is very dependable no matter what the weather is like. If the dog will go out she will too! She will be an excellent addition to Rover.”
13. Lindsey M.
“Lindsey is amazing! She cared for my beautiful and energetic black lab, Toby. She was so caring and really took the time to make sure he was exercised, cared for and happy before she left. She always snaps a few photos so I can see how he is and it's so reassuring to know that he's happy and taken care of when I can't be there. Thanks so much Lindsey!!!”
14. Fabrice L.
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience leaving my precious pup Xander in Fabrice's trustworthy and capable hands while I traveled overseas for 3 weeks. From our very first meet and greet, I knew Fabrice's genuine warmth and love for animals would translate into the best care for rambunctious Xander. Fabrice went above and beyond from start to finish - sending me cute daily photo updates of walk adventures that put my mind at ease. When Xander had a minor stomach bug, Fabrice nursed him back to health with patience and affection until he was back to his energetic self in no time. He even continued daily training reinforcement so well that Xander learned two new commands during my time away! I also appreciated Fabrice following my detailed instructions for Xander's meals, medications and favorite neighborhood walking route to keep his routine consistent. Upon returning, Xander raced to Fabrice in recognition and glee - a testament to the bonded relationship they had formed. It means everything knowing someone caring and responsible was there for Xander in my absence. With his attentive, bespoke care for Xander's needs and friendly personality, Fabrice has earned my highest recommendation and enduring gratitude. I will be calling on him to watch Xander anytime future travel takes me away! Eric Marchand real estate broker in Miami : www.EricMarchand.Miami”
15. Lizabeth A.
“Lizabeth is super reliable and sweet! She was able to help me even though I called her last minute when plans changed. She constantly sent me updates and I could tell she really cared about the job she was doing. My dog really enjoyed the walks! Thanks again! ?”
16. Erin F.
“Her kind, caring way with our shy dog Beau was wonderful. As soon as they left the house, he warmed right up to her. She’s very communicative and tries to make the time you need for a walk work. I am sure we will be booking her again.”
17. Angelina B.
“Angi has been attentive and courteous to my 3 dogs (beagle Fara, 4 years old. boxer Stella, 5 years old. beagle Dolce, 1 year.) Dolce isn't house trained so I wasnt sure what to expect when I came home but Angi was so diligent that there wasnt a single accident. And the service was affordable on top of that!”
18. Caroline T.
“Review in one word: PERFECT Review in paragraph: When I first reached out to Caroline she set up a visit to meet our girl and get an idea of our expectations as well as our home (impressed - no one else did this). She is available at a moments notice, spends more time than expected, walks, plays fetch, sends numerous pictures (loveee) and last but not least writes the most AMAZING stories about their time together. Currently trying to convince her to write a book....long story short - she's the best dog sitter I've ever had and I won't use anyone else. She goes above and beyond and always makes us more than thrilled that our pup spends time with her.”
19. Karissa E.
“Karissa watched my puppy Rogelio for two weeks and was an absolute dream! She followed our feeding schedule and made sure he didn’t go outside since he hasn’t had all of his shots yet. She took him to a vet appointment and was very thorough in filling in me on everything that was said. Rogelio loves his auntie Karissa and is looking forward to the next visit with her as I will certainly be booking her any time I have to leave island. She was very good about keeping up with his training as well which was very important to us. I have no doubt that you and your pups will love Karissa as much as we do!”
20. Amanda J.
“Amanda was absolutely awesome!! We came to Sarasota for our wedding and brought our fur baby Remy. We couldn't take him in the reception hall of our hotel and we were a bit worried about what we were going today until we found Amanda! She was great to work with and met my dad to get Remy and took him to our hotel room and gave him love while we were gone! She left the cutest little polaroid pictures of my dad and our boy and even though I didm't get to meet her my parents said she was an absolute delight and I couldn't agree more! Recommend her to anyone in the area! :)”
