Sarah has been great walking our dog Norman. He immediately bonded with her and it’s clear how much she cares about dogs. She has been very responsive to our needs, especially helping Norman as he recovers from knee surgery and gets his strength back. We are so glad we found Sarah to help walk our dog while we’re at work and would recommend her to anyone.

Raquel has watched dogs and cats for several of my friends and family -- they all love her and she's amazing with the animals! She gives them a ton attention and affection, and gives detailed daily updates. She also has experience caring for elder dogs and cats with extra needs — she always took great care of them and made sure they were in good shape. The best!

Elena is dedicated to animals. All her life she has cared for her own personal pets and dedicated a good part of her education to the environment for the betterment of the animals in nature. She has complete empathy with animals and goes above and beyond the usual care for the pets in her charge. She is loving, patient, all – giving to animals… Her own and others I highly recommend her as a pet caregiver because I believe you won’t find anyone better. She is highly qualified, highly empathetic and very nurturing.

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Grace Kim involving pet caregiving. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Grace for several years, during which time she has demonstrated exceptional care, responsibility, and genuine love for animals. She goes above and beyond to ensure that pets in her care are not only safe but also happy and well-loved. Whether its administering medications, maintaining feeding schedules, or simply spending quality time with them, going on long walks, Grace consistently showed great attentiveness and reliability. What sets Grace apart is her calm demeanor and intuitive understanding of animal behavior. Grace is also extremely trustworthy and organized. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, kind-hearted, and truly passionate about animal care, I can’t recommend Grace enough.

It is clear Nancy is a dog lover and we are so thankful that she took time to watch our sweet doodle named Gizmo. Gizmo can be a bit hyper but Nancy (and her sweet boyfriend Andrew) were able to make her feel relaxed and at home. Their rate was very fair for the level of care and comfort they brought to the table and we cannot wait to have them watch her again!! Thank you both!

Kevin is a conscientious and compassionate human who cares deeply about animals. I have witnessed him interacting with various animals for the first time, as a "stranger," and all were able to quickly warm up to him and trust him. I have seens both cats and dogs fall asleep in his lap, including one cat who knew him well and loved to sprawl out with her belly all the way exposed, totally trusting him! In addition to cats and dogs, Kevin has experience caring for tropical fish, coral, hermit crabs, and reptiles; he is a true animal lover and I would trust him with my pets again any day!

I cannot recommend Lyzbeth highly enough! She recently took care of my two dogs and exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we met, Lyzbeth displayed a genuine love and understanding for animals. She was incredibly professional and put my mind at ease with her thorough questions about my dogs' routines, preferences, and any special needs they might have. Throughout the sitting period, Lyzbeth kept me updated with regular messages and adorable photos of my fur babies having a great time. It was clear that my dogs were not just being looked after but were genuinely happy and well cared for. If you're looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog sitter, look no further! Thank you, Lyzbeth for taking such good care of us!

We're grateful to have found Tommy, an exceptional dog walker! After numerous attempts and lengthy search to find the perfect fit for our furry munchkins, Tommy exceeded our expectations. Recommended by a friend, we promptly booked Tommy after reviewing his profile. He requested a meet-and-greet with our dogs, which put us at ease. Instantly, we knew he was the perfect match. Our munchkins felt comfortable around him right away. Tommy's passion for dogs shines through! He provided regular updates during the walk, ensuring us that our pups were in good hands. He spent ample time strolling with them and even watched over them during mealtime upon return. While we were away on a business trip, we felt confident knowing Tommy was caring for our beloved pets. His dedication and love for dogs are genuine. We highly recommend Tommy to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.
