“Our dog had a great time, I was a little nervous as how she was going to get her out of her kennel. But she used the distraction of her own dog, which certainly helped our anxious pup. Maddie seemed to enjoy the group walk I would recommend and use her services again.”
“Bounce and I both absolutely LOVE Sandra. She is so good with him even though he is quite the difficult dog to walk, and he always comes home happy and tired. I use her every week twice a week and she could not be a better dog walker. I highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs. If I could give her more than five stars I would.”
“Rebecca is amazing with my dogs. They both absolutely love her! Rebecca is always very professional. We’ve used her many times and will continue to rebook Rebecca when we need a little extra help with the dogs.”
“Zipeng was is an awesome dog walker! I would highly recommend him. He took the girls on great walks and they enjoyed themselves. He listened to instructions and took great photos to keep me up to date. I will hire him again.”
“Cassandra always takes great care of Bear and makes sure he is comfortable and cared for no matter the weather, adjusting his walk time and including some indoor playtime when it’s very hot in summer or too cold in winter.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Aubrey! From the very beginning, they were kind, professional, and incredibly thoughtful. They offered to do a meet-and-greet before the actual walk, which really put our minds at ease. They even took our two Shiba Inus for a short test walk to make sure everyone was comfortable — such a thoughtful gesture! Aubrey was very responsible, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. Our Shibas can be a little particular, but they handled them with care and confidence. We received great updates and could tell they were in good hands the entire time. We’re so happy to have found someone we can trust, and we’ll definitely be booking with Aubrey again. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

I cannot recommend Madison enough! She has been an absolute lifesaver for our family. She is exceptionally reliable, always on time, and keeps us updated with great communication. Our dog has a few behavioral challenges, and Madison handles him like a true professional. Her confidence and experience shine through in everything she does. Most importantly, it’s obvious how much she genuinely loves our pooch, and he absolutely adores her. If you want complete peace of mind knowing your pup is in expert hands, hire Madison!
Nina was such a big help while my primary walker was away. Nina is very kind hearted and Phoenix took to her straight away, which made me feel so relieved. Thank you for being available for Phoenix, I will certainly rebook in the future if needed. Nina is very trustworthy and easy to work with. She is also great at communication as she responded to messages in a timely manner!
Svetlana was absolutely wonderful with Graf! He came back happy and nicely tired after his walk. She was very kind, attentive, and clearly comfortable with large dogs. We’re very happy with the experience and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐾
Bri has been amazing with Otto. He was hesitant at first because he’s only ever been walked by family, so she slowly earned his trust over a couple weeks and now he loves to see her and go on walks with her! I really appreciate all the pictures we get and the report on each walk. It’s great to know when someone cares about your pet as much as you do :) Bri is also great with being flexible with timings of walks, or being able to accommodate two walks in a day if needed! We are definitely repeat clients and will continue to be for a long long time.
