Mathew and Christianna are the ultimate husband-and-wife dream team! They are incredibly accommodating and genuinely eager to help with whatever we need. Genie always gets a solid, brisk walk and comes home feeling happy and content. The best part is how thrilled Genie is to see them when they arrive—you can tell they share a real, genuine connection. Highly recommend!

Erick took both of my dogs out while I was gone and brought them back happy and cared for in a way you can feel. He knows dogs well and you can trust that they are truly seen, safe, and in good hands.

Kathryn has been our dog walker for a few weeks and I am so happy with her! She is great with Jax, he looks forward to his weekly walks with her. She is very communicative, always on time, affectionate with him and it is clear that she has a true love for pets. She also includes detailed notes at the end of every walk with multiple pictures. I highly recommend her!

About: I am a 23 year-old dogsitter and dogwalker that has been working with dogs for a third of my life (8 years). I was always surrounded by dogs growing up and would love to keep it that way :) I walk Figo every day - Labradoodle pictured in my photos :) And dogsit Jesse - Boston Terrier occasionally on weekends. Dogsitting and catsitting is extremely mixed into my schedule and I am always looking for more opportunities! When dogsitting, I am always hanging out with the dog. I walk them a little extra sometimes. And will play with them as much as their heart desires :)

Sure! Here’s a heartfelt review you can use for Helene: Helene has been an absolutely amazing dog walker for my stubborn pup, Luna! She is incredibly patient, kind, and truly understands Luna’s needs. It’s clear she loves what she does, and her gentle approach has made such a difference in Luna’s confidence and happiness. I always feel at ease knowing Luna is in such great hands. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker, I can’t recommend Helene enough!

Yvette was amazing! I was so nervous to leave my dog and am so relieved I found Yvette! Zoey loved her from day one and had a great time with her. I absolutely loved all the pics and updates throughout the week! She was also extremely accommodating with all her health needs. Highly recommend for your fur baby!!

Alina is THE BEST. She has been my walker for 2 dogs now with very different personalities and challenges. She has been great with them. My new dog is 2 years old and has a lot of separation anxiety and Alina was great with walks and putting him in the crate when needed. I highly recommend Alina!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—dogs of all sizes, cats, bunnies, birds, lizards, and even snakes! I’ve cared for pets with a wide range of needs, from administering medications to managing quirky habits. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs, including rescues with boundless energy (I have one myself who can easily jump a 5-foot fence). No matter what comes my way, I provide loving, capable, and competent care. And, I’ll be sure to send lots of photos of my time with your pet :) My schedule changes week to week based on different pup’s needs so reach out to see what’s possible. I am happy to work with you on a schedule that best fits your needs. I provide personalized drop-in visits in your home to make sure your pet stays happy, comfortable, and safe. During each visit, I spend quality time with your pet—feeding, giving fresh water, administering any medications, taking dogs for walks/bathroom breaks, and providing plenty of love and attention. I follow your instructions carefully and make sure your home stays tidy. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable and cared for, just as if you were there.

Andrea dog walked Cody on one day earlier this week (3 times during the day) and I couldn't be happier. Her communication was outstanding, plenty of photos and even documents how many times he pee-ed and pooped on each walk. She was accommodating when I had to adjust my schedule and was very reliable. She even washed out his dog food container when it was empty, which was beyond the call of duty. Andrea has a lovely manner, is very pleasant and eager to please. Would definitely work with her again.

About: Hi! I’m Dani, a passionate animal lover that would love to help you out! I have a degree in psychology, which not only fuels my love for understanding behavior, but also equips me with the skills to connect with furry friends on a deeper level. Having worked as a preschool teacher, I bring a nurturing and patient approach to every being I’m responsible for. I understand that leaving your pet can leave you anxious, saddened, and frustrated! I aim to provide as much reassurance as possible, which includes photo and video updates and clear and consistent communications. I have many years of taking care of all different kinds of pets as well as house-sitting. From 10+ of personal pet ownership to volunteering in various animal shelters, I consider animals one of the greatest joys in life, and it would be an honor to take care of yours. I’m a recent college graduate, and I’m currently job hunting. I figured this would be a great way to keep myself busy while doing something I love! I am happy to offer dog walking and pet sitting services! I have a dog and cat of my own at home so I am willing to watch your pets in the comfort of their own home.

Maia’s soooooo great and helpful! She showed up on time and is great with our puppy! He could be shy but warmed up to Maia very quickly - he couldn’t wait to see her again. Maia also took pictures and was responsive and detailed about the puppy - already planning to book again in the future. Definitely recommend!
