“Sophia is the absolute best! My dogs can be tough and she took time to make them comfortable, and was so sweet to them. She sent many cute pics and videos which was so nice for me to see while I am away. I’m definitely rebooking and so thrilled with my experience. I highly recommend!”
8. Rachel B.
“Rachel took such great care of our little guy and we so value her care for our pooch. She is very reliable and great with Theo (he is not easy to wrangle but Rachel did it effortlessly)!!”
9. Ismael C.
“Ismael is a loving pet owner with his 3 dogs, and you will also see him fostering dogs with no homes either. He gives his heart in each dog he fosters and watches. Ismael is so selfless when he is caring for animals and spoils all of them with his heart!”
10. Stella B.
“Stella is so patient with our high-anxiety pitbull. She does so well giving him clear commands, playing with him, and making him feel safe. Thank you, Stella!”
11. Jacqueline & Uriel C.
“Jacqueline did great with my pup who’s sometimes shy around strangers. He needs a slow introduction and gets scared pretty easily. She was patience and kind with him. Looking forward to more visits. :)”
12. Tom H.
“With my busy schedule and long commute Tom is exactly what I need to make sure my dog gets the jog and cuddles he deserves on my work days! My dog genuinely loves Tom and the light jog is perfect for keeping him in shape while also helping him chill and nap while I’m away. I’ve noticed my dog’s overall behavior has actually improved with this added exercise. Plus it’s not always easy to find someone who’s comfortable with big dogs and I have a German shepherd. Thank you!”
13. Valerie P.
“Valerie is fantastic! Valerie is always very responsive to any questions or concerns and is very proactive and asks questions to make sure that her clients (furry and parents) are happy with the service she provides. If you are looking for a great care provider for your pet look no further.”
14. Anna S.
“Anna did a great job pet and house- sitting for us on a number of occasions. We have a bit of a zoo and despite the work load Anna took the time to play with the bunnies and cuddle the cats. Her responsibilities included feeding, filling water containers, cleaning bunny litter, making sure the bunnies got exercise, bringing in mail, and also watering plants. She’s a very responsible woman and has been for as long as I’ve known her.”
15. Alina C.
“Alina has been wonderful with our pup! Talking to her, it was clear she understood how to help us enforce good leash walking habits and other good habits our pup has developed. It makes me so happy when I'm at work and get those pupdates. I can tell my dog is having a great time and is in great hands. Some of my favorite pics of her now have been taken by Alina.”
16. Marilyn M.
About: i’ve taken care of dogs since i was little so i know a bit about how to take care of them like walk feed and play with them i know they’re so playful currently i don’t have a job so i’m available all week and i love pets so much so i thought this would be fun to do. i have a cat she’s still a baby kinda she’s 5 months old she’s really playful and a chihuahua she’s on the older side she loves to nap and is unbothered by other pets
17. Erica R.
“Right when I met Erica she gave off a very friendly warm first impression. My pups are skiddish around new people and after no time she had them running around the yard giving her kisses during our meet and greet. She is reliable, accommodating, and sent me pictures of my pups playing while she was there. I highly recommend her services and will be continuing to work with her this summer!!”
18. Velvet S.
“Velvet is AWESOME. Hugo loves her. She is on time, kind and affectionate to my furry. Thank you again and love the pesto gift she left for me. I would surely want you to look after Hugo on my next trip”
19. Alexis M.
“I had Alexis watch my cat Tito for a week and she was great! She sent daily updates, and she even got him to play with her which is rare since he usually hides from people. You can definitely tell she cares!”
20. Stephanie G.
“I love Stephanie...and more importantly, so does Sophie! We have a broader collie mix that needs a good walk. Even during the worst weather they came and gave Sophie the activity she needed. Thank You Stephanie and team! You are greatly appreciated.”
