1. Paul J.
“Paul is a fantastic dog walker. He is dependable and clearly loves what he does. It gives me such peace of mind to know my pup is in good hands while I'm away. Thank you Paul for all you do for Weston!”
2. Amy C.
“Amy is so amazing with my dog! She goes above and beyond always and she makes Andy feel so safe. I never worry when I am working and she is watching him!”
3. Isabel B.
“Isabel is fantastic. Our 2 year old border collie mix, who is afraid of almost everybody, instantly loved Isabel and was noticeably happier and more relaxed in the evenings on days when Isabel stopped by. Our dog’s preferred form of exercise is fetch, so Isabel switched between playing fetch and taking him on walks. Isabel is excellent with communication. She very quickly responded to our messages and was accommodating whenever we had a schedule change or needed an additional visit on short notice. Happy to recommend!”

9. David G.
“David has been super helpful with taking care of my dog Otis! We just moved to Durham and I’ve been juggling a lot over the last few weeks, it’s been such a relief to know Otis is safe and happy with David during the day! Otis has stayed at David’s house for daycare and David has come to our house for walks. David is very communicative and thoughtful about my dog’s needs. Thank you so much! We’ll be back!”

“Ever since I've known Janne, she's been a caring dog lover and dog mom. She has the ability to connect with pets, ensuring they're happy, safe, and well cared for. Her attention to detail and love for animals make her the perfect pet sitter. She'll provide the best care to any pet entrusted to her.”
13. Michelle R.
“Michelle has been amazing with Zelda! She sends daily pics showing how fun my pup is having. When it's too hot for a walk she drives Zelda to shaded grass and makes sure she gets her exercise while keeping her cool. Thank you!!”
14. Corey M.
“Corey clearly cares deeply about all animals, and extends that to the often lesser-loved small mammals. Even though he had no previous experience caring for rats, he took care of my 3 elderly rats when I went out of town for a long weekend and gave them wonderful TLC. One in particular was not doing well and needed extensive care, including giving him pain medication. This is not an easy feat with a stubborn, elderly ratty boy! He was in regular communication with me and provided me the sweetest pictures cuddling with them and giving them their favorite treats. Corey will take wonderful care of your furbaby- the book title "All Creatures Great and Small" comes to mind!”
15. Klaudia S.
“Klaudia has been great with my anxious rescue! She lets my dog set the pace and so my dog has been learning to trust her, which is huge and doesn't always happen with new walkers. Klaudia is very communicative and has been a pleasure to work with. Looking forward to more walks with her!”
16. Bell D.
“Bell was amazing! So grateful that she took good care of my pup during the day.”
17. Kristin H.
“Kristin is wonderful! Reliable and caring. Will definitely use her again. Fern loves her!”
18. Ashlynn M.
“Ashlynn is very responsible and one of the few people I trust with my own dog. I have worked with dogs in the professional capacity for over 4 years and Ashlynn is a natural. Very attentive and takes great care in what she does. Ashlynn would excel in her ability to care for all dogs.”
19. Lauren S.
“Lauren was great!”
20. Carson H.
“Thank you for being so incredibly wonderful to Castor and Bodie. I really appreciate how kind you are to them and I know they appreciate you too!”
