4. Myomi & Joel V.
“Myomi, who has been an exceptional caregiver for my dog, Drakar. Myomi has consistently demonstrated a deep passion and commitment to the well-being of animals, particularly in their care for my furry. Myomi exhibits a natural affinity for dogs, showing kindness, patience, and a genuine love for animals. In my absence, has been under Myomi's care multiple times, and each time I return, I find my dog not only well-taken care of but also genuinely happy and content.”
5. Paul K.
“Paul is a wonderful addition to my dog’s routine! I was scrambling to figure out what to do on my 12 hour days with my newly adopted rescue female pit mix when classes started this Fall. After reviewing a few profiles, Paul’s really stuck out as someone with both passion and genuine knowledge about dogs/dog behavior. I asked him to come meet my dog before we officially booked to ensure that she reacted well to him. Within the first few minutes, my dog was on her back requesting belly rubs. Needless to say, they hit it off! I feel very comfortable with Paul and SO pleased with how happy my dog looks in the pictures I get from their weekly walks. Even when she refuses to go outside in the rain, he spends time hanging out with her so she still gets some attention. I couldn’t be more appreciative and I’m sure my dog would 100% agree!”
6. Giuseppe L.
“We contacted Giuseppe with very short notice the night before Thanksgiving and took care of our dog the next couple of days while we were on vacation. Very personable and professional. On time, really understood our situation and knew how to handle our dogs reactivity. We know that we left her in good hands the second we met Giuseppe and we will be hiring him for his services in the future!”

10. Joe B.
“He was awesome!!! So friendly and considerate!!!!”
11. Eddie G.
“Eddie was very patient with my cat who is a little skittish. He got on his level and waited until my cat approached him. My cat is quick to ask for pets now and has curled up beside Eddie. I've seen Eddie spend time with the neighbor's dog until she was satisfied with the attention. Eddie will always acknowledge a furry friend and make sure they're getting all they need.”
12. Petra P.
“Petra is a natural pet lover at heart. Taking loving care of my dog, Benji, she always treated him as her own. She makes sure she knows his every needs, Benji only has one eye, so she make sure his care is the upmost at 100% and she knows every single step of that care. I never have one worry that she don’t keep him safe at all times… Her interactions are always playful, caring and nurturing. She is very easy-going, easy to work with, reliable, and always shows how she enjoys all pets. Benji just loves going for walks with Petra.”

15. Nayaliz F.
“Nayaliz is flexible, responsive, and thoughtful - she clearly cared about taking good care of my dog, which allowed me not to worry while traveling. Nayaliz is conscientious and capable, extremely trustworthy, and her communication is on point. Nothing but positive things to say about Nayaliz. If you need a pet sitter Nayaliz is a great option!”
16. Kendra O.

17. Catherine M.
About: Hi! I’m Catherine and I LOVE dogs. A fun fact about me is my family once fostered a pregnant Jack Russell and she had 7 puppies right in our sunroom! I was in there weighing them each day and even clipping all 126 nails. Currently, I have a dog named Joey and I love taking him for a morning walk. He doesn’t love every dog he meets, so if it’s the same for your dog, I know how to handle that. This summer, I’m home from college and taking a break from my usual job that I have during the school year. That said, I am free 7 days a week for whenever you might need me. I have plenty of experience with house/pet sitting so I’m a pro as long as there is a list of general instructions somewhere. Your pet will always be my #1 concern.
18. Nicholas D.
About: I've recently discovered a new found love for dogs so this is to experience and take care of a dog before getting my own. I know how to generally care for a dog since I lived with four of them for a year and I love them. I'm available mostly everyday, my schedule would have to work around my part time job. I'm a very understanding and nice person, as well as intelligent so I hope that's enough to have you and your dog like me. Also my secondary motivation for this is to lose weight and get exercise during the dog walking. I currently don't have a car but I usually secure a ride to places or just walk. If I seem what you're looking for message me and we'll talk, thank you for reading.
19. Adam S.
“Adam has a great way with Finn. I feel good having him watching Finn while I’m away.”
20. Katherine G.
“Katie was available fairly last minute to get our two pups out for a nice long walk during what otherwise would have been a long boring day for them. She stayed in touch so I knew when she took them out, when they returned, how far they walked, and she even provided a couple of photos. This was her first time with them, and I'm pretty certain they love her already! Plus it allowed me to come home from a work event and know they had already had good exercise so I didn't need to get them out for another evening walk.”
