1. Matt R.

“Stella was happy and tired after her walk with Matt! She felt safe and happy with him right away after our meet and greet the day before and he reported that she did well on her walk :) a tired dog is a happy dog! Thank you Matt!”


2. Savannah B.

“Savannah was excellent! I appreciated how thorough she was and how she put so much care and intention into caring for my dog, Yuki! We scheduled a meet and greet beforehand so that we could go over some details and get acclimated with each other. On the day of the walk, she followed all of the instructions and sent some cute photos from the walk. Will definitely be working with Savannah again soon!”


3. Vanessa R.

“Vanessa is great with my 9month old dog and my dog adores her. I have never seen my dog warm up to someone so quickly. I can tell that she genuinely has a huge heart for dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”


4. Elisa E.
“Elisa has taken care of my dog Baxter on and off for roughly 5 years. She is loving, affectionate, friendly, and can also handle my dogs outbursts with ease. I have a 70 lb mutt and he isn't always the best around other dogs, which can make walking him a challenge. But Elisa has never had any concerns or incidents. She has also watched him overnight and I love to see pics of them cuddled up on the couch together! I recommend Elisa sincerely. My dog considers her a second parent.”


5. Kyle L.
“Kyle is one of the hardest workers I know. He is driven, self-motivated, and responsible. When interacting with animals, he is patient, affectionate, and cares for them as his own. When I've left my dog in Kyle's care, he's been well tended to and cared for. Kyle prides himself on his work ethic and appreciates honesty and transparency.”


6. Emily W.
“Emily took care of my dog and cat over a long weekend while I was away for work. She is reliable, easy to communicate with, and clearly good with animals. I appreciated all the updates she sent, and it was obvious when I got home that my pets had been well cared for, since they weren’t all over me for attention. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable sitter.”


7. Lisa B.


“Finding a dog walker while I worked night shift over the holidays seemed almost impossible but Lisa came to the rescue and I am so thankful!! She sent lots of pictures and updates from her walks with my pup and I felt very confident in her caring for him. I would highly recommend her to anyone and I know Winston is looking forward to more walks with her in the future!”


8. Clara H.
“Clara is an amazing and caring person who is passionate about pets. I have known Clara since we were kids and her love for dogs and other animals started from this time. She always enjoyed playing with dogs and ensured that their needs were taken care of before her own. In addition, Clara has been working as a registered nurse for the past several years, and as such, has developed a strong ethos of care, respect, and responsibility for her patients and their health. This ethos is also present in her relationships and demonstrated when she takes care of any pets. Your pets will be in good hands with Clara!”


9. Yesenia Z.
“Yesenia is very dedicated to her pets’ well-being. I have seen first-hand how she makes her animals feel safe and cared for. She has walked my Corgi several times over the years. When she visits, my Corgi is laser focused on her, waiting for her to throw her favorite toy. Izzy recognizes her voice and can’t wait for her to get in the front door. She guards Yesenia the entire time she is in my house. Her energy is extremely calming even for my 2 Chihuahuas. .Amazing and rare. She talks a lot to my dogs. Izzy is #1, but the all vie for her attention. Of course, they also get loves and attention. Please contact me if you need any further information.”


10. Mila B.

“We have just started working with Mila who is doing dog walks for our friendly and energetic goldendoodle (60lbs). We could not recommend Mila more - she is communicative, on time, and our dog loves her. She ran to Mila , tail going crazy when she saw her coming after only one other visit!!”


11. Angel G.
“Angel has been taking care of my two dogs for some time now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She is incredibly loving and attentive, always ensuring my dogs feel comfortable and cared for. They genuinely enjoy her presence and get excited every time she arrives. Angel is also highly dependable and punctual, always arriving on time whenever I need her help. Her reliability gives me peace of mind, knowing my pets are in excellent hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Angel to anyone looking for a compassionate and trustworthy caregiver for their pets.”


12. Rosa M.
“Rosa is the top choice for a dog caretaker, no doubt! From the second we met, I could tell she genuinely loves dogs. My pup, who is usually a little shy, took to her right away like they had known each other forever. She really goes above and beyond. I got awesome photo updates, and my dog looked like he was having the best time ever. Walks, belly rubs, playtime, you name it, Rosa takes care of it. She is also super easy to work with and feels more like leaving your dog with a friend who truly understands what dogs need. If you want your pup happy, cared for, and probably a little spoiled, Rosa is the one. Would book again!”


13. Ivy E.
“Ivy is an exceptional caregiver when it comes to pets! She is quite responsible and trustworthy. Ivy has a caring personality, and takes pride in the way she works. She will get to know your pets, and make sure she's doing the best job for your family!”


14. Shannon Z.
“Shannon loves our Ruger. And Ruger loves Shannon. She has watched our Brittany Spaniel for us on many occasions. When Ruger needed meds after a minor surgery, Shannon worked with us to administer his mid-day dose and take him on a gentle walk. She is supremely dependable and very caring. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any pet owner who wants a loving and caring pet sitter!”


15. Maridon S.
“Maridon is everything you want in a pet caregiver. She is caring, patient, and reliable. She has been a pet sitter for me numerous times without any problems. She always makes sure to attend to all of my cat’s needs (feeding, playing, etc.). My cat is very comfortable with her and loves being around her. I think Maridon is a great caregiver because not only is she responsible, but she genuinely loves animals. She knows how to create a loving and safe environment.”


16. Kelsi B.
“Kelsi is my #1 go-to for petcare. She is such an animal lover and always puts their safety and needs first. She has watched my dog numerous times as well as provided daycare and walks for him. He can be a handful but she’s always be able to handle it and he is always happy to see her. She has dogs if her own and you can tell she’s been an animal person her whole life. I would definitely recommend Kelsi for all pet needs.”


17. Nathalie M.
“I cannot recommend Nathalie enough! From the very first walk, it was clear she had a natural connection with dogs. My stranger weary Chihuahua, Almond, instantly connected with her. I’ve never seen my dog so excited for her daily walks with anyone else but me! Nathalie is reliable, professional, and truly goes the extra mile to ensure my dog is happy, safe, and well-exercised. Whether it’s a short neighborhood stroll or a long adventure at the park, I always know my dog is in great hands. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker, Nathalie is the best choice. I’m so grateful to have found someone who loves and cares for my dog as much as I do!”


18. Stephanie B.

“Stephanie has been great with my dog! She’s reliable and communicates to make me feel at ease. My dog warmed up to her immediately. She did a meet and greet which I greatly appreciate as well.”


19. Kathryn P.
“I couldn't be happier with the care Kat has provided for my curly golden retriever, Chevy. She's not just a pet sitter; she's become like family to both Chevy and me. Kat's dedication to Chevy's well-being is truly exceptional. She takes Chevy on daily walks and fun outings to the park, ensuring that she gets the exercise and socialization she needs. It's evident that Kat genuinely enjoys spending time with Chevy, as her enthusiasm shines through in their adventures together. What sets Kat apart is her doting nature. She treats Chevy as if she's her own baby, and it's heartwarming to witness. Chevy adores Kat and is always excited to see her, which speaks volumes about the bond they've formed. Having Kat as a reliable caregiver for Chevy has given me peace of mind whenever I can't be with her. Her updates and photos during their time together provide that extra reassurance. I wholeheartedly recommend Kat to anyone in search of a pet sitter who not only provides top-notch care but also creates a loving, family-like environment for their furry companions. Chevy and I are truly grateful for the fantastic care and companionship Kat offers. I cannot recommend her enough!”
