1. Lisa K.

“Lisa is an excellent dog walker! She was prompt and took Tut on a long walk for an hour where he was able to burn some energy and then relax/nap afterwards till I got home from work. Will definitely work with her again”


2. Sierra M.

“I cannot recommend Sierra highly enough! My dog, Mickey, ran down the hall to meet her on her second visit. He’s never done that. She obviously had Mickey’s seal of approval immediately. Sierra is conscientious, very communicative, and extremely kind. She has my complete trust and respect, because she treats Mickey as if he were her own. To me that is the absolute best quality in a dog walker! Choosing Sierra as your dog walker is the absolute correct decision! Having Sierra walk your dog will keep you worry free and happy while your pup gets good exercise, has fun and is treated like family 😃”


3. Danika R.

“Danika has walked our dog Polly several times now and is reliable, professional and very caring towards her. She’s always on time and has been a huge help to us. We plan to continue to use Danika’s services because we can be rest assured Polly is in good hands.”




4. DAMACIA J.

“Excellent and reliable care! DAMACIA was available with short notice planning and ensured that Bear got everything he needed. She even made sure he got excellent care on the rainy day and bear, like most pups, is not a fan of the rain. I highly recommend DAMACIA and will book with her again when I’m looking for help!”


5. Tess W.

“Tess was very quick to jump onboard with my dog. She treated her like a true queen and ensured communication was clear. Thank you so much Tess :)”


6. Alexas G.

“Alexas is a fantastic dog sitter. She actively listened to the needs of my dog. She ensures that a 30 minute walk is a full 30 minute walk. She is thorough and make sure that your pets get the full attention they need. I have no hesitation in booking Alexas again in the future and highly recommend her”


7. Laura N.
“"I can't say enough good things about Laura! She went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable, loved, and cared for during my absence. Max had a blast and I can tell from the daily updates and pictures that they had the best time together. Highly recommend!”


8. Alexis G.
“Alexis was amazing! Super sweet and such a pet friendly home. My dog Bob felt right at home! I am such a protective dog mom and do not trust boarding places but I felt comfortable leaving him here. From our initial meet and greet he just made himself at home! She also sent lots of photos of him during his stay here. Leaving there he was very calm not stressed at all! We will be using her for all of our boarding needs!”


9. Sarah B.


“Sarah was amazing! I especially loved the videos she shared. It really made us feel so much better being able to see them! Sarah gave our babies love and cuddles, was very good with communication, and really is a wonderful pet sitter. Highly recommend and will book again when needed. 💕”


10. Mariah C.

“Great communication and timely arrival!”


14. Rebecca B.


“Rebecca was great! I will definitely be booking with her again. She came over to take Finn out on a walk since I had an after work event and couldn't get home in between. She still took him on a full walk even though it was raining hard and toweled him off and hung up his gear to dry which made my life so much easier!”


15. Thomas C.
About: For most of my life, I have owned, loved, boarded, fostered, and/or cared for a broad range of animals, including dogs (small and large), cats (domesticated and feral), hamsters, rabbits, chickens, fish, one gerbil, one parrot, and a handful of reptiles. (I've also spent some time on farms learning husbandry.) From this comes experience with the full cycle of life with companion animals - birth, adolescence, training, advancements, setbacks, accidents, illness, aging, and loss. I'm no stranger to providing extra potty breaks for puppies (our interests are mutually aligned) or with giving daily medications. For the first time in many years, my home is without a pet of my own - let me dote on yours when you can't. I'm a retired(ish) attorney and veteran now working from home with plenty of time and attention to give to your fur babies. Regular walks and exercise are an important part of our routine. My property is ~ 2 acres, large portions of which are fenced but couldn't be properly described as secured. Your dog's temperament will determine whether it can roam / play / fetch unleashed, but in no event will dogs be outside unattended. Inside, I try to make my home as welcoming and comforting for your pets as I would hope would be done for mine - animals are allowed on the furniture and are invited to sleep where they please, unless you instruct otherwise.


16. Amanda W.

“Very prompt and was able to handle my wild dogs! Thanks again!”


17. Cindy T.

“Cindy's care for my small Yorkie during our Rover booking was nothing short of exceptional. Her secure, fenced yard was a major plus, providing a safe and playful environment tailored perfectly for small dogs like mine. What truly set Cindy apart was her dedication to keeping me in the loop with daily photos and updates. It felt like I was right there with my furry friend, sharing in their adventures and relaxation. Cindy's genuine love for dogs shone through in every interaction. She didn't just offer care; she provided affection and attention, making my Yorkie feel like a cherished member of her family. Moreover, Cindy's reliability and responsibility were outstanding. She followed all instructions to the letter, from feeding schedules to medication administration, giving me complete peace of mind during my time away. But what truly stood out was Cindy's willingness to go above and beyond. She took the time to understand my Yorkie's specific needs and preferences, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay. In conclusion, Cindy is an exceptional dog sitter who offers a secure and loving environment for small dogs. Her daily updates, commitment to providing exceptional care, and willingness to personalize the experience make her the top choice for anyone seeking the best for their furry companions. My Yorkie and I eagerly anticipate our next visit with Cindy!”


18. Ashley K.
“Ashley is a great doggy mommy! I have know Ashley for as long as she has had her dog Casey. She is an attentive and loving owner to a great dog. She would do anything for the comfort and safety of any dog in her care.”




19. Brittany C.

“Brittany was available to come through at the last minute to help care for my sweet boy. She was punctual and attentive to my pups care and needs and even followed up with us to make her services available again in the future. Brittany was a life saver for us and I will be booking with her again!”


20. Maria Jose M.

“Maria has walked my dog, Harry on numerous occasions. She is always on time, sends me pics and updates and is great with him. He is always excited to see her and I will definitely continue to use her.”
