3. Cory J.
“Cory is a fantastic dog sitter! He was recommended to me through friends, and watched my dog for two weeks while I was on vacation - I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He sent me periodic updates and was super responsive to my messages, which gave me real peace of mind. My dog Flipper VI was happy and well cared for when I got back, and it was clear Cory took great care of him (they were chilling on the couch together when I got home:)) I’ve used him semi-regularly ever since for weekend trips etc. He’s reliable, experienced, and great with dogs. He's stepped in for me at short notice on a couple of occasions. Highly recommend!”

5. Madelyn B.
“I am happy to recommend Maddy Bonikowsky for a dog walker/sitter job. She is someone who has always had an incredible passion for animals, especially dogs. Her genuine love and understanding of dogs shine through in most things she does. She not only knows a great deal about dog behavior and care, but she also takes the time to connect and ask questions about each dog she encounters. What stands out the most about Maddy is her kind heart. She’s incredibly patient and compassionate, ensuring that every dog in her care feels safe, loved, and comfortable. On top of that, she’s extremely active which makes her the perfect match for keeping up with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I have no doubt that Maddy would excel in this role, and any pet under her care would be lucky to have such a dedicated, knowledgeable, and caring individual looking out for them.”

20. Jessie L.

“Jessie is a fantastic pet caregiver. I was upfront about only needing her for one day, for one walk, while I was looking after my parent’s Bernese Mountain Dog, and she still gave me awesome service. Jessie went out of her way to come meet Stacey before the booking and asked all the appropriate questions and paid great attention to detail. She gave Stacey a great walk and sent lots of photos! It’s clear that Jessie simply loves animals and helping people out. ? (Also, her puppy, Howdy is very cute and very nice.) I would highly recommend booking Jessie for your dog walking needs! ?❤️”
