2. Karla C.
“Karla is great! She shows up on time and my dog is happy and ready to lay down after her walks with Karla. I will definitely request her services again.”
3. Natalia A.
“Natalia is great! You can tell she really cares about animals! She shows interest in our pup and sends lots of pictures when she’s with him! It’s nice to know that he is in very capable and caring hands 😊”

5. Amiri T.
“We've been hiring Amiri for years to walk our 90lb bulldog. Our dog has some territorial issues and he worked with us to train him, and now we hire Amiri every time we travel. He's always responsive and on time. Highly recommend!”
6. Emily H.
“Thank you so much Emily!!!”
7. Lucero B.
“She is such a kind and caring person! My dog is very nervous and anxious with new people, and she made sure to spend time with her before her walk to make her comfortable. We appreciate how patient and sweet she was to moochi! I definitely recommend her and will be booking again. ❤️”
8. Megan K.
“Megan was amazing! She was very attentive and thorough with her walks of Gnocchi and was so kind to him! I will book her again the next time Gnocchi needs a walk.”
9. Katie L.
“Katie is an excellent caretaker. She's probably one of the few people I know who truly is concerned about her pets as much as she would be if they were humans. She has pets of her own that I would calll her children so she has plenty of experience with housesitting pets. I'm sure her experience with babysitting small toddlers has also added to her ability to have patience and keep enduring through any rough patches. Even pets that can be spontaneous and unpredictable should be no problem for her. She's quick witted and thoughtful so should any issues or concerns arise, I'm confident she'd be able to resolve it on her own or know when to reach out for help. Taking care of pets is no easy task, but I'm confident Katie has the skills and experience to be a great caretaker for pets of all sorts.”
10. Jaqueline P.
“Jacqueline was so fantastic with Rufus! She was comfortable with my giant puppy, was helpful in reinforcing training with him, and was very easy to communicate with. She was a wonderful dog walker. I would ABSOLUTELY hire her over and over!”
11. Jerrica D.
“Jerrica has always had a special place in her heart for animals. Growing up she had her own little letting zoo and treated all her pets like they were her own children. She is a good person at heart and will treat your animals like her own. She has a cat named Oli and he his her world !!”
12. Jamile G.
“Jamile was super helpful and communicative during a last minute booking to feed/walk my fur babies. I had to stay late at work and she ended up booking same day and came through for me. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!!”
13. Rebecca O.
“She fed my cat, clipped her nails for me, swept up her hair, and even helped me give her medicine. I've hired her 4 times and plan to do it again in the future.”
14. Marlene P.
“Thank God for Marlene! My last minute work trips she always books comes through works it into her schedule. She is the best with my super hyper Belgium malinois puppy. She always provides a pic she even will do clean up service for your puppy and give them water. She's just a solid dog walker!”

17. Dora R.
“Dora was wonderful to work with! She took great care of my dog Sassy, feeding her dinner and taking her for a walk on the days I needed to work late. She was very responsive to my messages and sent pictures of the walks. I would highly recommend her to care for your pet. Thanks Dora!”
18. Juan P.
About: I’ve taken care of dog since I was 10. I currently have a beagle, I’ve potty trained her and I always find to take her on walks and especially to dog parks. I’m currently part time, so I have time in the morning and afternoon to take dogs on walks and dog parks. Weekends are pretty open for me as well I have a backyard with open space, I have a fence so they can’t get out. Also my beagle is outside most of the time and she’s friendly so they’ll get along.
19. Niobe N.
“Niobe has house sat for me many times. I have a puppy who is high maintenance and needs a lot of attention. Niobe always makes an effort to play with my puppy and give her lots of TLC! I would 100% recommend her!”
20. Erin M.
“Erin M. is a wonderful person and a good friend. She is marvelous with animals, and they gravitate towards her. With her own pets she is totally responsible, caring, and kind..often putting their needs in front of her own. She truly gets that pets aren't something u own but loving beings that share and enrich ur life. As for her character, she is responsible, honest, funny, smart, with a true grasp of the concepts of unconditional love, loyalty, and family. Erin would make a great dog walker/sitter as she loves to exercise and see the world, noticing the things a person sees when walking, being a part of the community, and being a responsible member of it. Anyone's pet would be in fine hands if she were providing care, as she correctly assesses situations quickly, and acts on the side of caution without drama or unnecessary changes. She is my friend, which I am proud of, but that has not influenced my assessment of her capabities.”
