Great walk as always! She was conscientious of the stormy weather today and was able to change the time of the walk so our Sadie still got a walk and play time in. Always happy to have Danica take care of our Sadie :)

Abby has always done a great job of taking care of Sunsail. She sends cute pictures of Sunsail and gives her a good walk. I always love seeing the pics and Sunsail loves her! I would recommend Abby to anyone needing pet care😊

Kelly was awesome, arrived promptly at our set time and she took my dog Max for a nice walk, then played ball with him after. Would definitely hire her again!

Molly has taken care of my three cats and one dog multiple times. Each time my pets have received excellent care. Molly is friendly and kind and pays special attention to all of my pets. My dog is a bit needy and attached to me, but he adores Molly and she is so sweet with him. I highly recommend Molly as a pet sitter!

Daniela has been taking care of my dog for a couple years now whenever I go out of town, and I can say it’s the best service ever. She is very timely, playful with the dog, and very respectful. My dog immediately starts jumping all around her when he sees her. I have also seen her with her own pet and all I can say is that she completly adores animals. She lives and breathes for her cat lol. there’s nothing she wouldn’t do for him. Not only does she love cats and dogs but ANY type of animal she will be in complete awe of them. I have never had a bad experience with daniela and animals. She loves them!!!

Lexi loves dogs is a great dog walker/pet sitter. She not only let’s your dog out or takes them on a walk but also will take time to play with them, teach them tricks and cuddle them. She is so caring towards animals that anyone would be lucky to use her for their pet. Cannot recommend her enough!

About: There’s nothing better in the world than having a pet. I grew up with three family dogs, a cat, and two budgies. I love to go for walks and play with my friends’ pets, and I currently dog sit for two friends when they go on vacation. I am looking for more opportunities, now that I work from home. I work from home, meaning I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends! I am usually indoors during regular work and school hours, and I live very close to some lovely parks. My apartment’s floor plan leaves plenty of space to play with, cuddle, and/or wash your dog. I also have a large, grassy courtyard in the center of my complex, so we can run around and play fetch in a safe area!

I highly recommend this walker. She is so communicative and knew all about my dog before walking her. ALSO, she walked my dog for longer than I booked her for (which I’m sure my dog LOVED). She took a bunch of pictures of my dog and sent them to me, and it looks like my dog loves her. Naomi will be my regular dog walker from now on!
