1. Jacquelyn S.
“The best!!!! Jackie is a fantastic walker for my special guy. I was able to tell how much she cares just from the meet and greet. Jackie is very punctual, reliable, and flexible. You can tell she is really on top of things and her attention to detail is superb. She has provided consistent loving care for bud! Highly recommended!!!”
2. Jonathan C.
“Jonathan is fantastic with my giant baby. A dog Amadeus's size can be intimidating for some, but Jonathan had no problem handling him. The last few times when he came to the door, Amadeus goes bounding to him for his walk! I highly recommend him!”
3. Nicolle M.
“Nicolle has only been with Bucky for a week but she is very reliable and patient with our cranky dog when he gets awakened from his nap to go on a walk.”
4. Kyra M.
“Kyra was great with rusty. He came home looking satisfied and prefered to relax which is what he usually does after a long and happy walk. Kyra was patient in introducing herself and getting to know Rusty before they went on for a walk. She also took time to understand his walk preferences and the routes he prefers. Her warm and friendly demenour towards rusty was great and looked like Rusty made a new friend by the end of it. We certainly recommend Kyra to anyone looking for help with their fur baby and will definitely reach out to her in the future.”
5. Jenessa C.
“Jenessa was prompt and friendly and easy to deal with, and my dogs liked her.”
6. Rachel D.
“My pup is still getting used to unfamiliar people walking him outside. Rachel’s shown a lot of patience as they get to know each other more and he’s warming up little by little. I’m so glad I found her to help out.”
7. Carolina R.
“Carolina is THE BEST! She is really considerate and thoughtful. Always communicate and share everything that has happened while with my dog. I would highly recommend her!!!”
8. Sarah M.
“PRICELESS 😀. Super attentive with my rescue with so much anxiety Sarah sends me updates on her every reaction to street stressors and administers medication even when I have forgotten. She also shares the progress my little one has made. 5 stars. Highly recommend Sarah.”
9. Carmen L.
“As a former Rover sitter and now pup-owner, it’s safe to say my standards in finding caretakers for my own dog were high. Carmen was absolutely lovely and asked all the right questions on our meet and greet. Immediately knew I could trust her to come into my house for walks when we weren’t home, plus, watching my dog get SO excited to see her on the camera while I was out made me so happy. Will definitely be using Carmen again!”
10. Jonny M.
“Jonny was very reliable and communicative. Sky was very happy each day. I appreciate him being down to do a meet and greet before starting the walks. He asked questions proactively, was quick to respond to messages, and provided photos and updates. I would definitely re-book with Jonny!”
11. Jadis G.
“Amazing wouldn’t describe how awesome Jadis is. My dogs love her and are always so excited to see her. Besides the fact you can tell she really loves animals. It Was hard for me to find someone willing to take my dogs to the dog park. I wanted to socialize my puppies bc I work a lot and they were so young, she also takes them hiking if the weather isn’t great and there aren’t many dogs at the park to play. She is very considerate about walking other dogs with mine and honestly I’m glad I let her because now my pups have a whole pack to play with, and I feel comforted that they know the dogs they are with regularly. When my puppy got fixed I was so stressed, and was probably overly cautious about her returns to play. Jadis didn’t have a problem with my crazy micromanaging about how much my dog could move around 🤣. She feeds my girls and refills their water on their way out. She is very flexible and checks in if the schedule is different. She has helped me potty train my newest puppy. Sometimes I’m using a crate, sometimes I’m using a porch, sometimes I’m separating my dogs bc they are in heat or whatever 🤣. She has come into my house after absolute puppy chaos and somehow cleaned it and took them out. I truly don’t know how I could raise 2 puppies without her. She is amazing and I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I would highly reccomended her as a walker!”
12. Jade G.
“Lovely dog walker. Great touch with Brio.”
13. Deb G.
“Deb has been wonderful with my puppy whiskey. He’s definitely high energy so he needs a lot of attention and exercise and she has been consistently great with him! Highly recommend!”
14. Steve W.
“Steve was an absolute professional and Marley loved him! He was very detailed oriented and gave great summaries of the walks. Would definitely recommend him and will be using him again!”
15. Eva M.
“Absolutely love Eva and her sweet calm personality! My pups love her and come back happy and tired from their walk! Highly recommend her and her dog walking service!”
16. Tammy T.
“Tammy is super responsive and it went very smoothly. Thanks again!”
17. Annie C.
“Annie was so great! She was kind, responsible, and responsive. I received messages when she arrived, and she told me how everything went when she left, along with a pic of my pup. Thanks for walking Penny!”
18. Christina O.
“Christina is an absolute treasure!! Our two beagles - Astra and Orion - love her! When ever she comes over to get them, they jump up and down in joy and run right to her. They love when she takes them on their walks and over to the doggie park. She cares deeply about animals as it really shows in how she treats them. Christina is amazing and I highly recommend her!”
19. Naima P.
“Naima is a phenomenal pet caregiver! Her attentiveness, warmth, and genuine care put my mind at ease. My dog leaps with joy at her arrival—trustworthy, compassionate, and simply the best!”
20. Logan W.
“Logan is so sweet with my dog Savage! We are so excited to have a local walker and look forward to working with her again! Great communication and enthusiasm!!”
