“Emma and partner are just lovely people. Both are very responsive, accommodating, and descriptive in their details on my girls’ rover cards! It has been just AMAZING to have a walker/sitter that is respectful, responsive, and pleasant to interact with AND lives close by. They are both very trustworthy, reliable, and work well with my very spoiled girls. Highly recommend.”
“Amanda did a great job with our black lab Kiki! She agreed to our request last minute. She sent us videos of them walking which was very appreciated. Amanda was punctual, professional and respectful of Kiki not being the best with other dogs. Kiki went straight to snoozing after her walk! We would be happy to hire Amanda again for another walk in the future! Thank you!”

“Breanna was able to help me out last minute when I was home sick and juni needed a walk. Appreciated her patience and encouragement with juniper as she was hesitant to head out with a stranger.”
“Highly recommend Judy, she's wonderful to our dog Sooke as a walker, attentive and gentle. Sooke loses her mind and squeals like a pig when she hears her friend has arrived for walk time.”

She walked our dogs for the full hour, sent us adorable pictures throughout the walk, and even offered to drive them to the park for extra fun and variety.

“Nicky has been amazing with my dog - and he’s a big boy of 80lbs. Not only did she take him out to the beach , she took tons of pictures to keep me posted and updated. She was so prepared , had poop bags and water ready for him! She was always on time and arrived early to pick him up. And didn’t even count the driving time to take him to the trails and park nearby. Would absolutely recommend Nicky.”
