“Dmitra has been fantastic with my two heelers on my work stay here in Pittsburgh! If you need someone dependable, kind and accommodating she has been very attentive with my dogs! She has also been very flexible with my weird work schedule and made sure the girls were taken care of during long work days. If I come back here to work she will be the first person I contact to take care of my babies because I know they will be in great hands!”
“Chelsea has been a wonderful and reliable walker for my dog, Hoagie, for several months. She does a great job of keeping me informed on how things are going on the walks and always take some nice pictures. She even brought a toy or two as a Christmas gift. I highly recommend Chelsea and so does Hoagie.”
“Ben’s years of experience and knowledge are immediately clear to anyone who meets him & his dog, Geordi. Ben was extremely gentle with our 80 lb Newfoundland puppy, Mambo. Mambo can be hard to handle, but Ben expertly guided him and didn’t let him run amok. Mambo came home happy & tired from their walk - a busy pet parent’s dream!”
“I’ve never had someone check on my dog in my home before. I am so glad I found Ashley and that she agreed to check in and walk my dog Kenya. I needed help last minute, and she agreed to walk my dog so quickly. She sent pictures and great updates about their walk and how Kenya did. I had peace of mind at work knowing that Kenya was getting her exercise and some affection. I will definitely continue to book with Ashley!!”
“Richard was great! He was very accommodating and I felt very safe and comfortable leaving my Enzo in his care. He was thoughtful and even brought in my packages for me. Will definitely use him again!”
