“First meeting with Isabella went great! She was very loving to our dogs, and I feel like she'll take great care of them. Very professional, yet down to earth and very nice. I've already re-booked her for many more walks and stays! I feel like a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders to find someone that is as loving as I am to our fur babies.”
“So thrilled to have Ella back walking our girl after a scheduling change. She is always prompt, thorough and an excellent communicator, plus our girl adores her. Cannot recommend Ella enough!”
“Alexandria is great with my dog, Teddy. She walked him often this summer and was flexible with my changing work schedule. The neighbor even told me that he was much better behaved with her than with me. She was really good about listening to him when he was nervous or too hot and taking him back home to be comfortable.”
“Julia was great, she asked all the right questions before arriving for her first walk with my dog She was on time and provided excellent feedback including pictures and a summary of their walk. I’ll definitely be using Julia again in the future!”
“Lindsey did great with Ellie, our rescue dog. Our dog has separation anxiety and is very reluctant to leave the house with some she doesn’t know. Lindsey was very patient with Ellie and won her confidence. Lindsey didn’t give up on walking her and gave Ellie support and encouragement. We will definitely use Lindsey again. She is a dog lover❤️she arrived as promised, kept us well informed and is Excellent!!!”
“Audrey was great right from the meet and greet and on! Millie, who is usually very timid, warmed up to her in seconds. Audrey was a great support walking my dog while a family member who can no longer walk her far watched her. She was extremely punctual and great with communicating all aspects of their walks. Highly recommend.”
About: I am such an animal person- they are the best friends and sweetest creatures. I’m incredibly passionate about animal caretaking; I love meeting people’s pets and getting to know their personalities and quirks. I’ve been taking care of pets since I was young; I dogsat for families in my neighborhood and took care of my two cats. Before she passed, I took care of my senior cat Jasmine, so I also have experience in senior animal care. I currently walk, feed and take care of dogs in the local area while I work as a teaching assistant and master's student at NMSU. Additionally, I volunteer at a local animal shelter to take care of and keep company furry friends! Pet care is an important part of my routine; its good exercise and being around animals is one of my favorite things. Sometimes the best part of my day is when I get to meet a little friend! I really enjoy spending time with them outside as well. Before animal sitting, I make sure I go over the pet’s needs with the owner, any triggers, boundaries and environmental hazards. I make sure to be cleanly and efficient while making sure that the pet feels comfortable and engaged with!
“Britney is the best! I am so happy we chose her to walk Ford. She is always transparent and goes above and beyond to make sure we’re kept in the loop! It never feels good to leave your pup at home to go to work, but we are so grateful that Britney could get Ford out and moving, and he loves her!! She genuinely cares, I would recommend her 100x over! 🤗”

About: I have always grown up living with dogs. Personally I had 4 little dogs, 2 Bichon's and 2 Toy Poodle's in my own house, but I always was the person in the family to "babysit" the other dogs in the family. I'd feed, bathe, and walk the dogs depending on what was needed and I have always managed to get along with any dog I meet. I am currently a full time student at Roger Williams University and am working a part time marketing job that is remote. I have a good amount of time during the day since my classes are normally in the morning at 8-10 and other classes are at night from 6-9. Th When I usually sit, I tend to hang out with the dog for a longer time than usually, especially if they have been alone for awhile. Depending on where the location is and if it is nice out I'd be more than happy to take the pup on a walk or even play fetch outside.

“Audrey is absolutely wonderful! She’s 100% reliable, dependable, confident in her skills and completely trustworthy. Our dog Sophie warmed up to her very quickly. Our dog is more of a standoffish type, but she warmed right up to her. By the 2nd walk, Sophie was happy to see her & showed her so! I loved Audrey’s pictures & reports. I will definitely be using her anytime I need & she’s available.”

Calla has been amazing with my girl 🐾 Even though today was only her second walk, I already feel completely confident in her. She really took the time to get to know my dog’s personality and learn her specific walking routine. My girl can be a little particular..especially around small dogs, and Calla has been very mindful of that, making sure to keep her safe and comfortable while they’re out. That kind of attention and awareness means a lot. She’s reliable, communicative, and you can tell she genuinely cares. My dog is already excited to see her, which says everything. I’ll absolutely be hiring her again; highly recommend!
Bella is a wonderful person, and she clearly cares about the animal in her care. She went above and beyond for Gunner while we were away, his comfort and peace of mind as priorities. While he did miss us in our absence, he looked for her the first morning after our trip and I’m sure he was asking where the nice lady was! ❤️🐾We’ll be re-booking in May! Thank you Bella!!🤗
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Andrea went above and beyond in every possible way. She came to my home and took incredible care of my dog Lorenzo—walking him, feeding him, giving him treats, playing with him, and making sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She even cleaned his dog bowl without being asked, which speaks volumes about her attention to detail and thoughtfulness. Andrea kept me completely at ease by sending pictures and videos. She is genuinely friendly, trustworthy, and an exceptionally kind person. I couldn’t recommend her more highly and would absolutely book her again without hesitation.
