“I booked Elliot for a last-minute late night walk and he answered quickly and was great with my two pups will definitely be booking him again”
2. Stephanie N.
“Stephanie is one of my dog's favorite people. When she visits, he climbs up on the cushions of where ever she's sitting and goes to sleep wrapped around her neck, something he only does with me. It is hard to get him to leave me to go for a walk, but he willingly goes with Stephanie. He knows he is in good hands with her.”

Whether it’s a quick walk or a longer adventure, Peyton ensures Chloe gets the exercise and care they need. I’ve noticed such a positive change in my dog’s behavior since we started working with them, she always comes back happy and tired (in the best way)! Peyton is reliable, professional, and treats Chloe as if she were his own.”
19. Saniya S.
“I couldn't recommend Saniya more as an amazing, responsible pet caregiver.

She is reliable and responsive and always ensures that pets in her care are happy, safe, and comfortable.”
20. Elizaveta T.
About: As a dedicated pet owner of three dogs, I’ve gained hands-on experience managing a variety of personalities and needs. One of my dogs struggled with anxiety, so I learned how to create a calming environment, recognizing early signs of stress and adapting routines to help them feel secure. I’m self-employed, which gives me the flexibility to manage my own schedule and dedicate plenty of time to this role. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, so I can easily adapt to different time needs or special requests. When I’m looking after pets, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I focus on building trust and creating a cozy, loving environment for them.
