“Natalie walked Oso twice and I was completely comfortable both times! She followed instructions and took the best care of Oso while we were out. Would def recommend to a friend! Thanks so much💛”


2. Arlene Elvira F.
“We love Arlene already! She came a day in advance to meet my dogs and ask about their habits. She communicates well and the dogs are already excited to see her when she arrives. I trust her to take care of my boys and would absolutely recommend her!”


3. Bria K.

“Bria was so amazing with Banjo. She sent lots of pictures and updates and was easy to communicate with. I will definitely use her again!”




4. Tamara Z.

“Tamara was an absolute life saver, I booked here extremely last minute and she was accommodating and on time even though she was an entire 30 minute drive away! My boys loved the walk and her company. I highly recommend her.”


5. Elizabeth M.

“I've known Elizabeth for many years and couldn't recommend her highly enough to care for your pet. She and her family spent a number of years raising 3 different puppies for the Guide Dogs for the Blind. So you'll understand why I thought of her as my mentor when our family adopted a puppy in 2020. I would call her frequently with questions about behavior and training, and she always responded with knowledge, kindness, generosity, and a sense of humor. Their family also has cats, so they understand both felines and canines. They cared for our dog for 3 weeks in their home, and we returned to a happy pup! They sent photos and shared stories of their outings. Elizabeth is trustworthy, knowledgable, fun, loving, and affectionate. I wholeheartedly recommend her! Out of five stars, I'd give her ten.”


6. Charles T.
“Charlie is my cousin and has looked over my house and pets many times over the years. He is always respectful of my home...leaving it maybe cleaner than when I left! When it comes to pet-sitting, there is no one I would trust more. He takes extreme care of all animals with walks, medications, special needs, etc., tended to with pure love. With Charlie, there is never a doubt that my pets are in the best hands, and I continue to recommend him to everyone I know.”


7. Asta Y.
“Hi im a new dog mom and sitter. Im trying to build my clientele. I have a three year old golden retriever mix. I raised her by myself for almost a year. She a rescue dog at the SFSPCA shelter. I have experience training reactive dogs because my dog had an issue with bikers. I’m very patient, responsive, and loving. Safety is very important to me. I will make sure your dog is in good care.”


8. Kristin D.

“Kaia loves having Kristin walk her! My dog is around 65 lbs and can "take the lead" on walks sometimes, but Kristin does a great job handling her. Thank you for giving my girl love.”


9. Katie E.

“Katie is dependable and kind. I am grateful to have her care for my pup!”


10. Elena D.

“Elena is a lover of all living things, especially animals large and small. She also loves whales and all sea creatures. She grew up learning how to care for horses, dogs and cats. She grew up riding horses until our last horse passed away, who lived for 32 years and that speaks to the level of care they received. I rescued a Shih Tzu when she was just 6 years old and she loved Oreo until the day she passed at 20 years old. The level of care your furry loved ones would get from Elena is beyond any care anywhere. She loves animals and I would trust her to take care of any of my furry loved ones. She goes the extra mile and enjoys every minute. She is definitely an animal whisperer. Hire her…..you will be so glad you did!”


11. Abigail R.
“Abby is the sweetest and most reliable dog sitter around. She is so mature and loving with animals. We treat our pets like family members and she treats her dog sitter pets the same way. Lots of love, attention, play and cuddles. She is very easy to communicate with and has taken care of our dogs for years.”


12. Jehan B.
“Jehan is an excellent candidate for Rover and is a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Jehan had cats and dogs growing up, and has always provided the highest standard of living for her four-legged friends. Additionally, Jehan has petsit for my family and I while we travel for the last 5 years. She is well-versed in animal care, is incredibly responsible, and follows directions with great attention to detail. I have no doubt that any pet owner could leave their beloved animal with Jehan and feel confident that they would be safe, loved, and carefully cared for. Jehan has my highest recommendation.”


13. Raquel F.
About: Hi!!! I'm Raquel and your pets' next BEST friend! & I love all animals although I'll admit to dogs being my favorite. I'm a recently retired Army veteran and looking for fulfilling ways to fill my new found excess time @). I grew up with dogs and have owned & sat several different breeds (ABPT, GSP, Huskies, Vizsla, Pomeranian, Lab, etc). I am adept at caring for senior pooches as well as tiny puppies. I do not currently own a pup but the photos are of my most recent puppers, Apollo, Duke & Dice, whom l've had to reluctantly re-home due to military commitments. I miss the companionship of an animal. The sight of an animal brings me INSTANTANEOUS joy. I enjoy caring for our furry friends whom we humans do not always deserve. I love to run and play with energetic dogs just as much as I love to cuddle with ones who prefer to lounge around. I live in Carmel Valley and revel at the opportunity to engage with the many different animals I encounter on my daily walks (pigs, wild turkey, horses, deer, neighborhood cats and dogs). I especially love bringing grapes to the three not so little pigs who live just down the road from me; I think they like me too would love the privilege of looking after your beloved animal family members while you travel knowing they're well cared for and showered with love and attention. I have tons of time on my hands. I am a recently retired veteran and currently not working and love spending time with animals. 😊 I will follow all of your instructions to a tee and go above and beyond to ensure the safety of your pet and care of your home.


14. Tugce E.

“Thank you for having the best day with Nahla ✨✨”




15. Julia B.

“Julia quickly became an essential help for me to get my dog Rocky stimulation and exercise that allowed me to focus on the primary reason for my trip! She is knowledgeable of all of the dog fun-spots and very aware of safety of the pets she cares for. Julie communicated often and it felt like I was along for the fun. She sent pictures that quickly became favorites on Facebook and most of all, she developed a bond with Rocky where he loved every visit and I could tell she enjoyed Rocky as well! I highly recommend Julia for all your pet needs in the Carmel area!”


16. Miriam I.

“Great, responsible walker😎”




17. Nina H.
“Nina is a caring and responsible person. She will explicitly follow your instructions/requests and ensure the comfort and safety of your pets. She is great at communicating and having had her own animals understands the special owner bond that exists.”


18. Wanessa M.

“Professional and friendly.”


19. Adam D.

“Adam did a wonderful job with my pup. It was a last minute drop off and he was very responsive and helped ease the stress of trying to figure out what to do with my pup for 2 hours. Aphrodite had a great beach time and was nice and tired when I got him back. 10/10 would recommend.”


20. Amy z.

“Amy is truly exceptional. Her communication skills are top-notch, she's always punctual, very friendly and being around her naturally puts you at ease. I will be booking more dog walking sessions with her! My pup came back thoroughly exercised and in the best mood—tired yet content and mellow.”
