1. Bradley M.

“Bradley did a couple visits with brief walks with my dog Freckles. He did a meet and greet with Freckles and I before hand which was very helpful. He was professional, used the app to send pictures, and was very prompt with responses! I would highly recommend Bradley to anyone, and am happy to know I have someone I trust for any future needs for Freckles!”

“Lucy loves Michelle! Michelle is professional, and treats Lucy with great care and compassion. She loves our dog as if she were her own. I know I can trust any of my pets with Michelle.

6. Karoline H.

“We reached out to Karoline for reoccurring dog walks and they are simply wonderful. They are responsive, personable, kind, flexible and trustworthy. Our pup was immediately comfortable with Karoline the moment they walked through the door. They are working with Zoe to be less distracted by squirrels and critters on their walks and we also receive updates and adorable photos after their adventures. They are one of the most patience and punctual humans you will meet ... I highly recommend Karoline, and trust her completely with our fur baby.”

“we just met Brooke a few weeks ago - but already my Molly loves her! she has made it out for walks even through these snow storms - i am so grateful to find someone to help me with keeping Molly active since i can't do it anymore”


8. Michael C.

“Michael is great with Sophie! Because she's an English Bulldog, she needs extra monitoring when walking and Michael is very diligent in taking care of her on the walks. He's a natural with dogs and she's so much better behaved after her morning jaunts with Michael!”

10. Sara L.
“Sara is a wonderful pet owner & has the biggest heart for dogs! As a child, she would walk the neighborhood dogs, free of charge, just so she could spend some time with dogs even though she couldn’t get one of her own. This brief story encapsulates the longtime love and care Sara puts towards pets, dogs especially. She will love and bond with any pup that comes her way!”


11. Mckenna H.
“I am McKenna's mom and I want you to know what a loving, loyal, dedicated pet owner McKenna is. We currently have a Golden Retriever that we rescued 3 years ago and he is probably 14 to 15 years old. McKenna is my go to girl! She takes Sunny to get groomed and if we can't get him in to the groomer, she takes him to the pet wash. She will take him to his vet appointments if I am not able to get off of work in time. She takes him for rides to get him out of the house because he is not able to take walks because of laryngeal paralysis. She is always buying him treats and spoiling him. McKenna also puppy sits for her sister's new golden retriever whom she adores and spoils. She dog sits for her brother and sister in-laws to Treeing Walker Coon Hounds who are a handful but McKenna has a special touch with them and they love her. She regularly dog sits for some friends who have 2 Labrador Retrievers and has watched another friends chihuahua and will be taking care of 2 mini Australian Shepherds later this year for 2 weeks. My parents have an 8 year old Pitbull that loves her and she loves him. This list of dogs that McKenna is actively involved with shows that she can take care of any breed and loves them all. McKenna has always had a way with dogs and is able to get them to pose for some really nice pictures, she is not a professional photographer but has a way with them to get some pretty cute pictures.”

13. Keira C.

“Keira is a great dog walker. She’s responsible and reliable and always takes a cute pic on her walk. She responds quickly and is very friendly.”


14. Daniela D.
“Daniela is one of the most kind and caring individuals I know. If I need anything for my pets she is the first person I ask because I know that she’ll drop everything for me and my animals. She is amazing with every dog I have seen her with, and she is personally besties with my dog.”

About: I have been around pets my entire life. I have taken care of baby kittens, rabbits, puppies, and have had to administer every type of medication to animals. I am an animal lover and am happy to help!! I go to class from 8:00am -12:30pm on weekdays, and I am completely free on weekends. I have a lot of free time and I would love to meet new animals! I have a larger house with a fenced in backyard in Oakwood with plenty of space and greenery. My roommates are all huge animal lovers and we would just love to have some pets in the house.


16. Stephanie J.
“I have known Stephanie for many years, and she has always been an animal lover. She has owned numerous dogs and cats, and the affection she shows them--and that they show her--is as impressive as it is heart-warming. She is an excellent animal caregiver, and I have no doubt that she can be a great pet-sitter and/or dog-walker for you.”
