1. Christine Y.
“Christine has been walking my dog every day this week and has been awesome! Very communicative, thorough, timely, dependable and has managed my dog with ease, even though he started with some separation anxiety, not wanting to walk. After just a couple of days he excitedly started running downstairs for his walk and comes back bounding up the stairs, happy! It’s been a pleasure working with Christine and plan to continue booking walks!”
2. Aaron A.
“Aaron has been absolutely wonderful with our sweet little Rosie! He’s been walking her twice a day while I’m work and her daddy is out of town. He is always on time, treats her extremely well and has been nothing but totally professional & reliable. You won’t regret using Aaron for any of your pet sitting or dog walking needs.”
3. Viktorija L.
“Viktorija has been walking our dog twice a week since I broke my leg last fall. She has been such a help! She is always on time and our dog seems to enjoy the walks.”
4. Estefany D.

5. Sandra R.
“Thank YOU!! I just got home and she was so happy and got all her energy out and ready for her dinner, she is all relaxed and cuddly. I for sure would love to use your service again. You were on time and attentive. Thanks again!!”
6. Adam S.
About: I grew up on a farm with tons of animals and have loved taking care of them ever since. Looking to make some new friends in the area while staying active. Monday through Friday I’m very busy working full time. On the weekends I’m looking to go on walks and stay active and enjoy the company of your dog! On walks I’ll make sure to remain aware of our surroundings and to only interact with dogs that are 100% friendly. I have a vehicle that I am happy to use for transportation if needed.
7. Christina S.
“Christina was very sweet AND PROMPT! My dog took a liking to her immediately which was great to see because she tends to be a bit shy. Upon return Frankie was happy and tuckered out and Christina seemed sincere in wanting to walk her again. Will definitely rebook.”
8. Sofya T.
“Sofya is a wonderful match for our puppy, Bowie. Sofya is very professional and sends us the best pictures of our pup. She has been very flexible and understanding with us as well. We highly recommend her services!”
9. David C.
“My 1-year-old Doberman loves David! He’s so playful with her and she’s always excited to see him. A Doberman also requires leadership and direction, and David has been great with her by making things fun. I’d happily recommend David to anyone.”
10. Darya D.
“Darya is excellent. A great communicator, reliable and a pleasure to work with. I have a 80 LB black lab with tons of energy and I have full confidence in Darya’s ability to handle my pup. The best!”
11. Jarrod V.
“Jarrod was fantastic. I hurt my ankle and unexpectedly needed someone last minute. I was so lucky to get Jarrod. Especially during the holiday season. He responded yes at 630 am and was at my door at 730. My dog happily went with him. He came by 2xs a day. He was communicative and consistent. He was there in a pinch, and I didn't have to worry.”
12. Chloe L.
“I’ve known Chloe over 15 years, and she has been consistently responsible and trustworthy. She is a smart, loving, and resourceful person. She is also active, which is great for more high energy pets. We went to a dog park together recently, and she was great at taking care of a shy dog while being mindful of other dogs. I would trust her with my dog any day!”
13. Andrea G.
“Great experience :)”
14. Sydney V.
About: I've had a dog since I was a child. I now have a curly golden retriever who is 7 years old, and I've raised her since a puppy. She is incredibly well-trained, not to brag! I'm a photographer, so you might get photos of your dog while on our walk. Can't help myself. haha I work from home and frequently walk around downtown in order to stretch my legs and get my steps in. It's a bonus when I get to do that while walking a dog. I only walk dogs at this time, but I know all the great potty spots, and obviously I make sure to be a good dog owner and clean up after them!
15. David G.
“David was very kind to my dog who has separation anxiety!”
16. Aleksandra S.
“Aleksandra was very caring and attentive with my fluffmeister. She took him to the dog park and walked him for a week and did a wonderful job. My husky can sometimes pull, but she had no problem with him, so she knows how to handle bigger dogs. Would recommend her to anyone and will hire her again in the future.”
17. Sara M.
“Sara has watched my cat for me multiple times, and each time, she has gone above and beyond to meet my pets needs. I cannot recommend her enough.”
18. Danielle H.
“Danielle is the best dog momma. She loves her two rescues more than life itself and is always showing them off. To know Danielle is to know how much she loves animals and anyone would be lucky to have her help watch after their pet.”
19. Taylor J.
“Taylor was so awesome! My Great Dane is tough to find a walker for and Taylor was so great with him. He had so much fun on their walks together and I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. 10/10 would recommend”
20. Allie M.
“Allie has great communication and is very reliable! My Shiba is happy and exhausted after her walks with Allie. I appreciate everything she does for Kit :)”
