“Kim did a great walking my pups today. She was very conscientious and cleaned up after them. Such a relief to have someone reliable to look after my kids.”
2. Jiwan Z.
“Absolutely recommend. Pets definitely instantly love her and she is the most professional Rover we’ve ever hired. She did 6 days of dog walks/dog exercise over vacation and I got the happiest dog photos. She is punctual, smart, conscientious, very knowledgeable about dog behavior. She was great with my slightly reactive dog and large dog who wanted to go after squirrels. I recommend without hesitation.”

“Great service, arrived between the hours I wanted & I am sure Nova loved her walk! Thank you Jade! (:”
4. Ella A.
“Ella watches my dog Enzo regularly. Enzo is Chihuahua-collie Mix, 15 lbs, with a LOT of energy. Ella's taken him on walks, fed and watered him, and overall makes him happy when I'm on vacation. She's reliable and responsive and I'll continue to let her watch Enzito.”
5. Bethany M.
“Bethany is an amazing sitter, she goes above and beyond for my Dixie girl. Bethany is extremely reliable, great with communication and she is flexible! I wouldn’t want anyone else watching my dog for me!”

“Hannah has cared for my dogs and cats many, many times over the years, and I can tell you that you will not find a more compassionate, loving care provider for your pets! Hannah is a People and Animal lover to her core, and cares deeply about keeping your fur-babies safe and happy while in her care. Hannah's kind and gentle energy is her magical power that all animals sense and are drawn to. I can confidently, and very strongly recommend Hannah for your Pet Sitting and Dog Walking needs.”

12. Colleen N.
“Colleen was able to walk my dog with just a few days notice She sent messages, photos and the app showed the exact route of their walk I will use her again and recommend her to you”
13. Luis G.
“Luis was a such a sensational find for us! My wife and I took a vacation and while my mom was able to watch our home, she was not able to walk our dog Kudos. Enter Luis. We signed up for 2 walks per day. He is incredibly responsible, kind, great with dogs, and very responsive to messages. He sent some great pictures of Kudos each day, as well. I highly recommend Luis to anyone considering someone to walk their dogs.”
14. Jared B.
“Leaving our senior 12.5 yr old Boxer for the very first time for 8 days was unimaginable without Jared bring able to walk her everyday. We had more concerns with new diagnosis, but Jared was kind, caring and compassionate with the needs of our girl. Jared went over and above to make sure Alaska was walked in cooler weather and was so careful with her. We definitely were so fortunate to have found him and felt such at ease while we were away that Alaska was getting the best care.”
15. Brian C.
“Brian is absolutely wonderful with my fur-baby... although she can be weary of new people, she warmed right up to his gentle and encouraging ways. He was also great walking with her. She really responded well to his smooth corrections and before long, she was toddling along like the perfect pup!”
16. Anna M.
“Anna has taken great care of my adolescent dog. Penny is still figuring out the transition from puppy to dog and can still be pretty nervous at times, but Anna has taken great care of her whether it is walks or play in the dog park or at home. I definitely recommend Anna! Penny is an angel too 🐶”
17. Zoe V.
“Zoe is simply the best! My dog loves her; she is so attuned to animals and so willing to take that extra step to make them happy. She let's him stop-and-sniff the way he loves, and offers to take him places. She's a delight to work with - always on time and responsive. We highly recommend!”
18. Will M.
“Will is a wonderful dog walker, I feel safe knowing my dog is in his care. He has really great communication and send pictures and/or videos of each session which I always look forward to! Thanks so much Will!”
19. Jonathan R.
“Johnathan has pet and house sat for me on several occasions, and I only have positive things to say about him! I always feel confident that my pets will be happy and well cared for, and my home returned to me as I left it. He is consistent in providing requested updates and pictures during extended stays and always makes sure my babies get to keep to their schedule! My stubborn little chihuahua isn’t always the easiest to walk once she sniffs something interesting, and he handles her like a pro. More than anything I trust him because of how much my animals love him, I think they really respond to his relaxed demeanor - even my very picky cat comes to greet him and will even sit on his lap.”
20. Carissa H.
About: I’ve had either cats or dogs as pets since I was a child. I’ve trained puppies at home, potty training and basic skills (sit, stay, come, etc) I am a major dog lover and think all breeds are fantastic! I’m currently in the slow season of my job, so I have lots of availability that can change all the time. Please reach out for any questions or inquiries! I treat all animals like they are my own family, and love learning each one’s personality. They will get lots of cuddles and encouragement from me :)
