3. John D.


“John walked our quirky high energy pup for his first ever walk not from the two of us, and we couldn’t be happier. He gave great updates along the way and took him on a nice long walk. So communicative and helpful, a real pro who made the whole experience feel managed and safe. We’re grateful and look forward to booking with John again!”

5. Coco M.
“CoCo has stayed at my home home on many occasions taking care of my chocolate lab Luther, my German Shepard Otto , my hound Higo, my cat Safin and my birds. It’s an extensive tribe of happy old animals and she always took great care of them. They truly loved CoCo and were always happy to see her. She is also the owner of an awesome well behaved and well balanced chocolate lab and a lovely black cat. I recommend CoCo with no reservations.”

I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”

11. Michelle K.

“Michelle has been walking my very energetic, goofy, and sometimes stubborn pup for a little over six months, and I can honestly say she's the best dog walker you could find in this neighborhood. I tried different caretakers in this area but none compares. She's incredibly reliable, trustworthy, kind and communicative. I know my dog is not always the best behaving one, but she always makes him a good buddy! It's no wonder she's so popular with so many returning clients. Plus, she is a super baker too!!”

About: I’ve owned dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, hamsters, and fish. Growing up on a farm, I’ve cared for many pets, including friends’ and family’s. I also have experience fostering challenging dogs. I currently work part-time and remotely. I make my own schedule so I can make most times work. I have my own pets and would want to be able to take care of both As a dedicated pet caregiver, I provide a safe and loving environment for your furry friends, whether in my home or yours. I prioritize routine, comfort, and personalized attention tailored to each pet's needs. I create a cozy space filled with toys and activities to keep them engaged. I'm sure to follow your routines and guidelines to ensure your pets feel secure. I focus on their well-being through regular exercise, playtime, and cuddles, giving you peace of mind while you're away.

19. Hunter B.
“I cannot recommend Hunter highly enough! From the moment I met him, his genuine love for animals was evident. My dog, Oprah, immediately took to him. Hunter has been watching Oprah for a number of years when I'm away from home, and knowing that she has health issues he's always gone above and beyond every time he cares for her. Not only is he punctual and reliable, but he also brings such positive energy. Hunter sends updates and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m not there. It’s clear Hunter truly cares about his furry clients, and his professionalism and kindness make him stand out. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and passionate about pets, Hunter is the perfect choice!”
