“Chuck is fantastic! He made the effort to come by our house and meet us and our doggie in advanced of our first walk so that he could fully understand the needs of our dog and our family overall. Our dog had an amazing walk with Chuck and has been calm and happy all day since. I highly recommend Chuck for walks!”

“Chris is very caring and conscientious and we appreciate his attention to detailed instructions for our dogs so much. He arrived and took the dogs for their walk on schedule and even spent some time with them after their walk. Our dogs can be persnickety and willful but he is very patient with them.”

“Leonard was awesome to work with on all levels! He took care of my dog both as an in home sitter for overnight stay and for day sitting. He was extremely easy to work with as he would flex his hours everyday according to my schedule. My dog absolutely loved him! He took her to the beach and hiking and was always with her at home. He even bought her a toy on his last day which he let her select (not surprising that the toy closely resembles a squirrel :). Leonard also has a very pleasant and approachable personality - I would highly recommend him to take care of your dog. I look forward to Leonard and my dog reuniting on another stay!”
“Christopher was awesome. My magnificent, high energy, but somewhat reactive two-year-old, immediately loved him. Christopher matched my dog’s energy and athleticism, taking him on long walks that left him ready to sprawl and fall asleep afterward – – which is exactly what he needs. I think Christopher would adjust to the needs of any dog, he genuinely likes them and understands them. I feel lucky to have found him to play with my boy while I am sidelined with a broken ankle. He has my complete endorsement, great guy.”

About: I am a very responsible dog owner who would love to take care of your pet! My dog (Milo) is a 7 year old Goldendoodle and loves playing with other dogs. I take my dog on daily walks and enjoy playing and snuggling with him. I do go into the city in the mornings for classes but am back around mid day. I have 2 separate places in my house that your dog would feel comfortable, either in a carpeted room or hardwood floors. My dog loves going back and forth between these two areas.
“Samuel was incredibly easy to communicate with and was able to help with a very last minute request to watch our dog Steve! He took very good care of him, sent lots of photos and went over and above to make sure that he got the exercise and attention that he needed! Thank you Samuel!”

About: Hi there! I'm a dog lover with an active lifestyle. I'm always looking to spend more time with furry friends. I'm available most days for dog sitting, walks or just drop in visits and would love to provide your pup with fun-filled, active days. My schedule is flexible and I'm happy to accommodate your specific needs, whether that means long walks, park visits, or just some quality cuddle time on the couch. I am available every day although my teenagers are with me Sunday through Wednesday. I may go out to do errands but can always change what I'm doing to meet your pets needs. Walks, overnights and everything in between are great on weekends. I live in a condo in the canal. We have plenty of outside space and use it frequently. There are plenty of dogs in the neighborhood and they can socialize at your discretion.

“Thomas has been a life saver for us with our dog Guinness. He is always on time, he is reliable, he is patient with our somewhat moody, large dog, and he has become our regular walker 3x per week. Thomas is super responsive to messages and seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with Guinness. I highly recommend Thomas !”

“Chris is so great! Friendly, responsible and very professional. He is so sweet with our dog and takes her on wonderful walks. She comes back super happy and super tired.”

“Janaki did a great job for us . She arrived on time and was able to make friends with our dog that has a bad tendency to over react when greeting newcomers, but Janaki was able to handle this well. We liked her photos on the walk especially charmed with phot of her holding two bags of poop.”

“Our dog can get a little anxious at times and Jodi has such a wonderful calming presence about her - she was so great with our Sadie. We definitely will book Jodi again!”

“We had Jennifer walk our sweet 14 year old Beagle while we were traveling for a month. She showed up on time every day and our girl had a great walk every time! Jennifer is a true animal lover and just a very nice girl to take care of your dog.”
