“I can’t recommend Kyla enough as a dog walker! I am a reoccurring customer with her. She has been absolutely wonderful with my pup, Luna. Kyla is not only trustworthy but also incredibly attentive to Luna’s needs. After every walk, she makes sure Luna has fresh water and always gives her plenty of love, including pets and belly rubs—Luna’s favorite part! It’s clear Kyla genuinely cares for the dogs she walks, and I always feel at ease knowing Luna is in such great hands. If you’re looking for someone reliable and caring, Kyla is the best choice!”

16. Joseph R.
“I am so grateful for Joe's exceptional care that he provided for my dog over the summer! While I was working full-time, Joe provided daily walks and daily care for my 50 lb pit mix. (Walking, feeding, occasional cleanups... all of the above!) I was able to be stress free because I knew that my dog received the exercise and attention she needed daily. Joe is an avid walker (your pooch will get a few miles in at least!) and he has a wide availability to accommodate most schedule needs. When you see Joe interact with your dog, it will be clear that he is a true dog lover. I wholeheartedly recommend Joe for any dog walking or sitting opportunities. He is caring, punctual, reliable, and will undoubtedly provide excellent care for your four-legged friend.”
17. Mary H.
“Mary. Thank you for all you do. Leonardo always has a smile on his little doggy face after a walk with you. He runs in circles when you come. He can't wait to see you. Even a mention of your name gets him excited. I appreciate you so much. Thank you for always being positive. It shows how much you genuinely enjoy being with him. Thank you for the doggy treats and the extra time you take playing with Leonardo. Grateful to have you in our lives. ❤️”

19. Michele C.
“Michele has watched my little yorkie (sky). Whenever I say Michele is coming over… She runs to the door. She just adores her. She is reliable and loves dogs. I would recommend her for your fur baby .”
