“Molly did a great job walking/visiting our goldendoodle this week! She was really responsive, left great messages and photos, and gave our pup the love and attention she needed. We will book her again!”
“Juan took such good care of mocha. He cared for him as if he was his own. I would highly recommend him if you want someone to go that extra mile for your furry friend!”
“Isabelle walks my goldendoodle furchild every day and she’s such an important part of Maya’s life. To start, she’s super communicative and reliable, which makes it really easy to plan and coordinate walks and dogcare with her. She was also great about learning what behaviors we try to reinforce, Maya’s habits and routines and what Maya eats, which gives me the warm and fuzzies that as a parent, aunt Isabelle is staying consistent with dad’s rules. Isabelle is so great with dogs and has good judgment generally; seeing how she interacts with Maya and hearing her describe how Maya did on a given walk, I trust her implicitly. Lately she’s been really helpful in figuring out fun new walking routes or destinations that cater to Maya’s interests and mood and energy level. Yep Isabelle is a wonderful dog “auntie” and just a delightful human being. I don’t know what her advertised rates are on here, but you should pay them and then some. Isabelle, get after it girl. Charge people what you’re worth! ?”
“We have had our pup stay with Colleen and Sean in the past and they were very helpful to us when we needed a walk in a pinch. They provided excellent communication throughout the process, were on-time, and took care of our pup in some poor weather. We appreciated their assistance and we would walk or stay with them again.”
“We’ve been working with Jennifer for over a month now, and she has been absolutely amazing! She’s incredibly communicative and so flexible with my unpredictable schedule—I can book her a few days in advance, and she always accommodates. Since we just moved from Kansas, my dogs have had a tough time adjusting, especially one who has anxiety, but Jennifer handles them with such care and kindness. Both my girls are so comfortable with her—she’s truly a gem! I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: Listen, I've basically run a zoo my entire life. Cats, dogs, hamsters, mice, birds, fish, chickens, you name it! Right now I have a sweet black kitty cat and a self-important chihuahua and let me tell you, keeping multiple personalities happy is my superpower. Your pet is about to get SO much love and attention. We're talking belly rubs, treats (with your permission, obviously), and someone who can make them feel so special and loved while you're away! I can do medication schedules, I can do endless fetch, I can do "please just sit next to me while I exist" whatever your baby needs. I currently work from home so I have the flexibility to pop over to your house and be a friendly presence and go on walks whenever! I always start by learning your pet's routine, preferences, and quirks so I can keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible for them. Whether it's sticking to their feeding schedule, keeping up with walks and playtime, or just being there for cozy hangout time, I follow their lead. I'm great about communication. You'll get regular updates and photos so you know how things are going. And if anything seems off with your pet's behavior or health, I'll let you know right away. Whether I'm caring for your pet at your home or just swinging by for a walk, my focus is the same: keeping your pet safe, happy, and well-loved until you're reunited. 🐾
“I was impressed with Daniel right from the start! He is a very humble, respectful, responsible, kind young man who loves animals. My dog Sophie immediately took to him and she would have great walks with him. I asked a lot from Daniel when I went on holiday…and he delivered! He came to my home for 10 days to not only walk my dog but also feed her…give her medicine, and as a bonus, he played with her. Socializing w Sophie went a long way because she was alone most of the time. He would always be on time and, when another dog walker canceled, he quickly covered that shift. No questions or higher charge. He sent a lot of photos too. Since I’ve been back from my holiday, I’ve been in poor health. I texted Daniel and he is now my dog walker on days when I’m unable to take Sophie out myself. Again, punctual & always thinking about what’s best for my dog…. For example, He remembers to dry Sophie’s paws when they arrive from a walk in the snow or rain. I highly recommend Daniel as your dog walker or sitter.”
“Alexandra was awesome taking Rex for walks. She was always on time for her appointments and provided pictures and updates about the walk. She is very friendly and professional.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs&cats since elementary school. I’d find myself naturally responsible for feeding, walking, cleaning, and loving them. I’ve done cat sitting for a friend for as long as a month, and dog sitting basically all my life since I grew up them. I’m experienced in caring for pups less than a year old, and older dogs as well~ I worked at Dogtopia where I handled over 40 dogs in one room! I have experience handling dog scuffles and managing dog behavior. My current schedule is open and free Sunday through Saturday. The holidays being an exception as I will be out of town for the week of Christmas. I am prepared to meet the needs of your 4-legged loved one in any way that they need. Request and I will deliver as best as I can. I believe our furry friends deserve respect and have boundaries as we do.
About: I have had many dogs, both big and small. I have trained puppies and cared for senior dogs. I would love to walk or keep your pets and give them all the love and attention while you are gone. I work remotely so I have a flexible schedule and lots of free time to love on some animals. Let me know what you need and I hope to accommodate it! I live in an apartment so am used to taking frequent walks with the dogs. I have a pup of my own who has free reign of the home and can show your pup the ropes. If you're booking boarding with me, please note that my dog prefers other dogs who are chill and don't care much about him :) For all other services, I am excited to care for dogs of all temperaments. I am a genuine animal lover so I take the care of your pet seriously! Happy to adapt to the needs of your baby - just reach out!
“Lianna has been great so far with Tucker! First and foremost, she really impressed me with our meet and greet. Asking such thoughtful questions, she showed how dedicated she was to providing the absolute best care to Tucker! With every walk since, Lianna has been diligent about updating me and even going as far as working on some training with Tuck. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind care provider for their fur babies!”
“Manuel was wonderful with my dog. He needs a little time to warm up to new people and Manuel went out of his way to spend extra time making sure Tigger felt comfortable. I will be using Manuel's services again for sure.”
“Grave was highly attentive and loving with my Shetland Sheepdog; especially important in this hot weather. She let him wake up slowly when she came in, not rushing him out the door for his walk. Grace then walked him as much as he wanted to, brought him in out of the heat, made sure he got water and a milk bone, and finally hung out with him for a little while to make sure he was all set. Excellent dog walking experience. I will definitely be using Grace's services again.”
“Morgan was great! She was on time, followed the instructions I left for my dog’s care, and was considerate with key pickup and drop off. She also left a good description of the walk so that I felt clued in while I was out of the house and sent some nice pictures.”
“Our dog Winnie loves going on walks with Aislyn! Aislyn is happy to let her wander and sniff to her heart’s delight, which really helps tire her out in time for some lazy afternoon naps.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Tim. We reached out to book availability, Tim briefly came over to visit with us and our dog, he asked thoughtful questions and got details around walks and feeding before starting care later in the week. Tim was very punctual and communicative. We got great pictures and videos daily and our dog seemed super happy! We will be using him again next month.”

Highly recommend Juan as a dog walker. Communication is excellent - prompt responses and regular photo updates during walks. It's clear he genuinely cares about the dogs in his care and takes his clients needs seriously. Dependable, friendly, and professional. 5/5 stars!
From the first moment Taylor entered our house, she bonded with Poppy and gave our sweet 14 yr-old labradoodle lots of TLC and special attention dyring every visit. On very hot days when Poppy didn’t want to walk more than a few minutes, Taylor played with her inside, gave her lots of cuddles, and even played Debussy, Mozart & Beethoven for Poppy on our baby grand. Five stars +++ and a huge THANK YOU to Taylor! Highly recommend!
Jessica did a great job walking our dog Bruno for 3 weeks. She was attentive to Bruno’s personality, behavior, and needs. We did a meet and greet for initial setup and from there she gave me notes for each walk. She took care of a wound that happened and gave daily notes on the wound to ensure it didn’t need further care. She accommodated schedule changes when needed/available for rain. I hope she is available for any future needs.
First time booking with Anya and she exceeded all expectations! She was incredibly kind, professional, communicative, and amazing with our pups. We felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in such caring hands. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does, and it made all the difference. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care!
Lei was outstanding. She loved our dogs in our absence, sent lots of pictures and videos, gave a detailed report of how they were doing. She is knowledgeable, and pointed out concerns (one of our dogs had some diarrhea). Would definitely love to have Lei watch them again.
Sarah was amazing as a dog walker for my pups! She was very responsive, came exactly on time for the walk, and was clearly so sweet and loving with both of my dogs! One of my pups is quite shy and Sarah spent extra time with her to get her comfortable before the walk which was above and beyond amazing. Will absolutely book with her again in the future!
