1. Michael M.
“Michael is amazing. Very good communicator and works with me on scheduling last minute bookings. My dog Leila loves him and gets super excited to see him.”
2. Clare N.
“Clare is an absolutely wonderful person! She has always been attentive and caring whenever she has watched over Bella. Clare is extremely thoughtful and makes sure that Bella is comfortable, content and happy. She also takes amazing care of her own two lovely pups Mocha and Latte. I would highly recommend Clare to anyone who ever needs pet sitting!”
3. Sandy M.
“Sandy was so sweet to my dog George, being nice enough to walk him in the rain and play after! Highly recommend!”
4. William B.
“Loved meeting William! He was so understanding about all the things we try to reinforce with our pup and followed everything we suggested. Pebbles had a lot of fun with him, and he managed her energy really well. He also gave me such detailed updates and photos! Would definitely recommend :)”
5. Chad C.
“Chad was great! They met our dog Clover on the same day as they had their first walk and she was immediately at ease. She can sometimes be skiddish and wary of new people and situations, but she loved Chad right away. We love that Chad lives close and will take Clover on walks to the Boston Commons to see all the flowers and people watch. She's more of a human than a dog, in my opinion, and she really loves time with her trusted people just chilling in the sun. Thanks so much for being her new friend, Chad!”
6. Diamond D.
“I know Diamond to be a thorough, caring, compassionate and patient with all living creatures. She would be a trustworthy and consistent care taker for any animal.”
7. Amanda S.
“Amanda was a fantastic, conscientious, and caring dog walker! She was attentive to Nutmeg’s needs, careful to not overheat her on these hot summer days, and communicative with me. 10/10 would recommend!”
8. Stephanie C.
“So wonderful working with Stephanie! She’s so sweet to my dog and very communicative on the app. Nothing I would change I feel very lucky my dog gets to hang out with her 🙂”
9. Yunwei S.
“I wholeheartedly trust Yunwei with all my pet care needs. She has taken care of both of my cats several times, and each time they are reluctant to leave her home. I especially appreciate her attention to the different care instructions for each cat and the detailed updates I receive throughout the care period. Her love for animals truly comes through in how she cares for my pets, and I would 100% have her care for my pets again in the future.”
10. Lynne C.
“Thank you once again. Lynne has become our favorite dogsitter and Walker. Otto is always so glad to see her. She seems to genuinely enjoy her time with him too. Which makes me feel great and not worry.”
11. Katelyn H.
“I couldn’t recommend Katelyn more. My three-year-old chihuahua mix, Paco, is fairly reactive and has separation anxiety. There are not many people I trust with my dog, and I trust Katelyn completely. Not only does Paco adore her, but her calm and confident demeanor puts my mind at ease while Paco is in her care. She calms him when he’s anxious and gently redirects him when he’s barking. Her love of animals shines through, and I’m so grateful that she’s my go-to for Paco. Thank you, Katelyn!!”
12. Samantha W.
“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Samantha is amazing with my dog, she is Reliable, caring, and always keeps me updated with great photos—couldn’t ask for more in a dog walker! Definitely recommend!”
13. Rebecca W.
“Very kind and attentive with my super nervous dog. Sent lots of photos and updates!”
14. Victoria T.
“Victoria is amazing with pets. She is so caring and thoughtful, she really knows how to pay attention to the pets. She herself has raised her black lab from puppyhood to adulthood, she understands the care, dedication, and attention to detail needed when it comes to taking care of dogs. From dog walking, feeding, making sure to pick up after the dogs, and making sure to notice any signs of sickness, anxiety, or nervousness, she makes sure her dogs are always comfortable and happy.”
15. Andrew C.
“Andrew is great with dogs! Our dog immediately liked Andrew and they have a great time walking and playing together. Andrew is very professional, friendly and super punctual which is all wonderful. I'd highly recommend Andrew.”
16. Laura O.
“Laura is a great pet caretaker and I would recommend her to anyone! I booked Laura very last minute when a need came, and she filled in and did an amazing job for my two dogs. One of my dogs has reactivity and leash aggression, and Laura did a great job managing his needs and caring for him. Laura is a great communicator and sent great pictures. I would happily use her for dog walks again.”
17. Kelsey N.
“Kelsey has been a true family friend for almost a decade and has been a trusted dog, cat, and rabbit sitter for years. She has taken care of my family’s three dogs, two bunnies, and a cat on several occasions, sometimes lasting a week or longer. She has always been attentive to any medical needs our animals have had and shown to go the extra mile when it comes to giving them care and play. Knowing she has grown up caring for several pets, big and small, of her own speaks to her experience around animals and the love she has for them. Highly recommend!”
18. Helena B.
“Helena is super reliable and communicative! Would definitely recommend”
19. Steveen V.
“I have entrusted Steveen with the care of my mini Goldendoodle, Javi, since 2020, and I couldn't be more grateful for his exceptional dedication as a pet caregiver. Javi suffers from environmental allergies and IBS, requiring specialized attention that Steveen expertly provides. During walks, Steveen ensures Javi stays hydrated with a special dog water bottle and meticulously cleans his paws using hypoallergenic shampoo and the Dexas MudBuster Portable Dog Paw Cleaner. What truly sets Steveen apart is his keen understanding of Javi's health needs. He monitors Javi's condition closely, reporting any changes in poop quality, vomiting episodes, or signs of allergy flare-ups promptly. This attentiveness has been invaluable in managing Javi's health and well-being. Beyond physical care, Steveen has played a pivotal role in Javi's emotional recovery from severe trauma. He's gone above and beyond to rebuild Javi's confidence and trust, patiently reintroducing him to public settings with gentle care and understanding. Steveen's ability to read Javi's body language and respond accordingly has made all the difference, ensuring Javi feels loved, cared for, and safe at all times. I wholeheartedly recommend Steveen as a pet caregiver who not only meets but exceeds expectations. His compassionate approach and unwavering dedication make him a true asset to the dog community.”
20. Andria P.
“Andria has taken care of my dog on multiple occasions when I’ve been away. She’s very reliable and has even been able to visit 3 times a day or as needed. She’s very communicative and an entrusted sitter I’ve used for a while.”
