Brianna is a great dog walker!! She is very quick to respond to messages and took the lead organizating the meet and greet. She was available on pretty short notice, which was such a relief. Brianna was immediately comfortable with my 150lb dog, which means she is comfortable with any dog! She is a great dog walker and I will be using her regularly!

Dawn is responsible and attentive. She cares about your pet as if it were her own. Her flexibility is deeply appreciated. It's great to know that our girl is getting a break with a wonderful walking partner. Thank you, Dawn!

About: I grew up with dogs and cats in the home. I love being the dogs and cats best friend. While I am not the best discipliner. I can ensure your best friend has a great time while they wait for your return. I am in a flexible job. I only need to go into the office twice a week but I can adjust the days as needed so my availability is pretty consistent. I will care for them as if they were my own. I do have a crate that I can set up in case they need a den like atmosphere. My apartment has a small dog park I can take them to if they get along with other pups. I live in a dog friendly apartment complex with plenty of dogs around. We would also go for some walks and watch some TV on the couch.

Kelli has been a wonderful addition to our days. She is incredibly responsive, attentive and caring for the dogs, and the dogs are completely exhausted after, as I want, when they return. She has always given a great report card and some adorable photos. I hope to have her walking my girls for a long time.

Sweta is outstanding! Communication is key especially when away and needing to trust your walker not only with your pet but your home as well. She was prompt for the times scheduled, respectful of my space and my pet and neighborhood. Professional and kind hearted. I felt that my dog was in good hands with Sweta and will be a repeat customer in the future.

Heather has walked our dog Arlo about a dozen times in all kinds of weather. She is terrific! She is so kind to Arlo and so very careful about cleanliness. Arlo loves her and is always very excited to see her. She has also given us some good tips about how to get Arlo to better behaved. We are so glad to have found Heather. What a sweet and thoughtful person!

Taylor is on time and my dog likes Taylor a lot: she always wags her tail and jumps up to Taylor kisses before heading out for the walk. The walks are sometimes 25 minutes not 30, but my dog can decide she isn’t walking farther.

Elinor responded immediately about my inquiry which I appreciated because I was in a last minute situation. Her prompt communication gave me peace of mind because I'm not used to leaving my dogs. She let me know when she was on her way and when she left and I thought it was a nice touch that she sent pics of the locked door and of the dogs eating their food. Elinor is a gem to have in the neighborhood and I highly recommend booking with her!

My anxious pup loved Brianna from the start! Immediately upon meeting her, Julep began expressing her "enthusiasm" :) She is normally rather timid around new people -- our "meet and greets" take about 4-5 min. She only "talks" to people she is comfortable and confidant around. We met Brianna in the lobby and didn't even make it out the door before Julep was talking and even wanting to jump up to say hello. She took off on their walk without a second glance in my direction. When it comes to dog walking, that is a great thing!

I appreciate Lillian for being reliable for taking care of my rover dog. She arrived on time to walk Edie on a holiday evening, followed instructions for dog care, took a couple of photos, and issued a rover report on Edie’s activities. I would recommend her service and we rebook her when needed.
