“Kyle has been great! Easy to communicate with, extremely helpful, flexible with my ever changing travel schedule, and of course wonderful with my elderly dogs. I’ve booked with him multiple times and will continue to do so in the future.”


2. Alexander S.

“Alex did a great job with our 2 pups. He took detailed notes at our meet and greet and followed their feeding and walking schedules carefully. Great communication and pics so we knew they were receiving good care. We’ve already booked Alex for our next time away”


3. Oli L.

“Oli was such an amazing dog sitter!!! She sent pictures and updates as I was gone and really made me and my baby comfortable. 10/10 would recommend.”


4. Amanda M.


“Amanda is amazing! She’s stayed with our animals twice now and we’ll keep booking her anytime we’re out of town. The animals have always been so well cared for and our house perfectly clean. She was super flexible when we left town last week amidst the water debacle and had to stay at another location with our animals. She’s very communicative and always sends updates with pictures throughout the day. We can’t recommend her enough.”


5. Victor S.

“Victor did great sitting for Ellie, kept her company all day, listened to her needs, gave her food and her medicine. Would absolutely book him again in the future!”




6. Melanie C.

“I can’t say enough great things about Melanie! She took such amazing care of my Frenchie while I was away. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves dogs and knew exactly how to handle my pup’s quirky personality and needs. I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which totally put my mind at ease. My Frenchie came back happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little spoiled—in the best way! I’m so grateful for the love and attention they gave. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again!”


7. Cindy B.

“Cynthia and Nidal are absolute dog lovers extraordinaire! I had the pleasure of having them watch my fur babies while I was away, and I couldn't have entrusted them to anyone better. Their passion for animals is palpable, and their energy is infectious - my pups came back exhausted but clearly adored! Their communication was top-notch, with regular updates and photos that had me feeling like I was right there with them. The trust they built with my dogs in such a short time was impressive, and I appreciated the extra touches they added to make sure my pets felt comfortable and happy. If you're looking for reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely enthusiastic dog walkers, look no further than Cynthia and Nidal - your furry friends will thank you”


8. Giselle C.


“Giselle is amazing!! We've tried multiple dog sitters and multiple apps and she by far exceeded our expectations! She is sweet and updates us on the pups. She cared for our old pup while he was having some problems and had no complaints from neighbors either. Definitely use her for your dog needs”


9. Seline P.
“As a pet sitter myself, I understand the hard work and commitment that goes into taking care of pets. Seline has always showed these qualities and understands the responsibility that taking care of animals requires. I would trust nobody except Seline to take care of my animals!”


10. Mariah C.
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with a mom who worked in the Richmond Animal Shelter & a house full of adopted animals. From my sisters spoiled Pibble baby to my neighbors sweet little Yorkie, I’ve been their go to sitter/walker to watch their babies because they know I’ll love on them like my own fur babies 💕 I love to do Meet & Greets prior to your baby’s walk/drop-in if feasible. Coko & I are available Saturdays & Sundays for Meet & Greets! I am a mom of 3 & we have a Shih-poo named Coko. My babies have all grown up around family dogs and understand to be gentle with fur babies. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly so I’m sure we’ll meet a friend or two on ours walks.

12. Lynne F.

“Lynne was a great house sitter and did an excellent job taking care of our fur baby. She shared photos every day and even left a sweet message to welcome us home. It was comforting knowing our geriatric lab had company, especially in the evening, while we were out of town. I would highly recommend Lynne and look forward to rebooking with her in the future!”


13. Kathryn R.

“Kathryn took great care of our boy, Punch! She came to meet us on short notice and right away we knew our fur baby would be in good hands with her.
