I'm very thankful to have found Emil. I work in retail and consequently work almost every weekend. Emil walks my little chihuahua for me every Saturday and Sunday. He's very reliable and I never worry that he won't be able to make it. He also responds to any requests or questions very quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend Emil if you need someone to help care for your pups!

Christopher has been a very intuitive, caring, and detail oriented addition to our dog Theo's routine. Theo can be wary of men and is dog-reactive. Christopher has paid close attention to all of our instructions and has quickly bonded with Theo. He has a calm presence which is very helpful in diffusing our dog's sense of stranger danger. He is a clear & regular communicator and has been very reliable with regular walks. Will continue to work with him as long as he is available!

James did a great job! We have an older dog and a puppy, and James walked both of them. He communicated with us throughout the day about their walks, and he was flexible with his scheduling for us. We will definitely use James again, and we would highly recommend him to any other dog owners.

Kira has taken care of my dog numerous times. She always showed great care of my dog during their walks, ensuring they got plenty of exercise and attention. Kira is punctual, reliable, and showed genuine affection towards my dog. I felt at ease knowing my pet was in capable hands. Kira is always welcome to watch to my dog anytime!

Christian was an amazing caregiver for our pup while we were gone. She's extremely thoughtful and thorough about getting to know each animal before beginning her time with them, and as a rescue owner I really appreciated that! Will definitely be using her again.

Jen has walked my dog Riley twice so far, and she’s been great. We had an initial meeting prior to the first walk which made me feel really comfortable. She’s responsible, shows up on time, and she’s great with communication. I’ve received really cute pics after each walk. Riley seems to really like her, and I plan on booking Jen again for walks.
