5. Sara A.

“Sara was incredibly caring and really went the extra mile with my girl. Not only did she let me know when the service started and finished, she provided a ton of photos and videos of her service that provided me with peace of mind when I’m so far away. She really went the extra mile to be laser focused on my cavapoo while she was with her and I felt safe letting her into my home. I know lulu looks forward to her next booking and I will definitely rebook for all types of services when I need! 🐶”

13. Paige D.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. My senior year of college I fostered several dogs and took care of them until they found their forever home! I ended up adopting my dog Frank after fostering him for several months. I am currently in between jobs so I have some extra free time during the work day for walks and visits. I can also be available on some weekends. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved when they're in my care. Whether I'm in my home or my client’s home, I will follow any instructions provided and keep a close eye on the pet to make sure they're happy and comfortable. I treat every pet like my own, giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. Safety is always my top priority!


14. Amanda C.
“Amanda has lovingly cared for our dog for nearly 4 years. She is dependable and always honors her commitments for walks and boarding. Her love of animals shines through her work as she seeks new routes to keep walks exciting and always prioritizes our pup’s wellbeing. Highly recommend Amanda - your dog will thank you!”


15. Junyi H.

“We had Junyi come over for a trial run with our crazy pup and he was wonderful! We will definitely be asking him to come back again!”


16. Caitlin C.
About: I grew up with dogs and continued pup sitting for friends when I could after college. Just started a sabbatical from my job in finance so I have all the free time to take care of your best pals! On sabbatical so my schedule is very flexible. If I don’t have anything planned on the weekend, I might head out to the beach for a couple of days but open to discussing scheduling. I live in a very pet friendly building. In fact, during my interview with the coop board they asked why I didn’t have a dog at the time! I live on a quiet street in the west village, close to dog parks as well as the west side highway for plenty of open air. I also enjoy running if your pet is up for a jog.


17. Alex D.

“Alex was excellent with my dog. He was pleasant to interact with and sent a very thorough summary of their time together during the walk. He also sent great photos! He was patient with my dog when he wanted to bring him every single toy in the house before going on the leash and my dog really seemed to enjoy their time together. Highly recommend!”


18. Edith C.
“Edith was our personal dog walker for 3 months before she started her full time job and was wonderful! She really cared for our dog Lucy. Edith would walk Lucy about 5 times a week and dog sit at our home while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. During the sit, Edith made sure to check in with us regularly and took wonderful care of Lucy”


19. Lindsay D.

“Lindsay was as great with me (crazy dog mom) as she was with Leo! Highly recommend!”


20. Rianne A.
“Rianne is awesome with dogs! She’s super friendly, reliable, and treats every pup like her own. My dog gets so excited to see her. Definitely recommend Rianne if you need someone you can trust!”
