“Elena is an amazing human being and dog walker, always punctual and, very patient. Nemo used to look forward to his walks with Elena. Nemo always came home tired and happy. I highly recommend Elena!”
2. Ann-Marie B.
“After my initial meeting with Ann-Marie I felt very secure with leaving Mia in her hands while I’m at work. Ann-Marie has been walking Mia during the week for a few months now and has proven to be very professional, consistent, responsible, and truly cares about Mia’s well being. I would 100% recommend her to for your pet care needs.”
3. Brian J.
“Brian has been walking our dogs since the beginning of the year and he’s great. Great communicator and takes awesome pics of our dogs during the walk! We also had him house sit for us when we went out of town! The dogs love him!!! Definitely would recommend!”
4. Whitney N.
“Whitney has walked my dog, Otis, for almost a year and a half and has been so wonderful! She was super reliable and flexible with my weird work schedule. He’s an accident prone guy and she’s been so patient with his various injuries, limps, medicines, treat restrictions, etc. I always got the silliest, cutest pictures of him which brightened my day! So appreciative of the peace of mind for my little mutt! I’m moving, so I have to cancel our service and we will miss Whitney! Thank you!”
5. Jackie B.
“Jackie and Jannalea were very sweet and patient with my dog Ponyo. Ponyo got her walks and they managed to take the same route that I usually do without my prompting! Got photos and updates each time so I knew what was going on. Wouldn't hesitate to book again!”
6. Lydia M.
“Lydia is an amazing dog walker for Hazel, always reliable and caring each Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Hazel adores her, and Lydia’s expertise shines in Hazel's improved walking behavior. Her warm and professional approach gives me complete peace of mind. Highly recommend Lydia for anyone seeking a dependable dog walker!”
7. Lizya Beth D.
“Lizya has over a decade of experience handling dogs. She really cares for and appreciates the unique needs of each individual dog she interacts with. One thing I appreciate about Lizya is her focus on positive reinforcement. I have noticed a difference in my dog’s leash skills when implementing some of Lizya’s tips.”
8. Nick B.
“Nick is amazing. We don’t trust our dog with anyone because he’s really rambunctious and hyperactive. Nick was able to walk him without trouble. He has a confident gentle approach and is very supportive. We have peace of mind that Nick can walk our Rambo”
9. Alex H.
“Alex is very the best! He is very patient and kind. My dog Max can be a little rambunctious at times but Alex knows how to handle him with kindness. Max loves his walks and gets so excited to see Alex.”
10. Katie S.
“My husband and I have been looking for a new walker and this was our first time working with Katie. She is communicative and also very understanding of our needs. Kiki can be a little too much when meeting others for the first time, but Katie handled her behaviors well! Thank you again :)”
11. Saverio T.
“I cannot recommend Saverio highly enough as a dog walker! From the very first meeting, it was clear that he has a deep love for animals and a genuine passion for his work. Saverio is incredibly reliable and always arrives on time, which gives me peace of mind knowing my furry friend is in great hands. What truly sets Saverio apart is his personalized approach. He takes the time to understand my dog's specific needs, personality, and quirks. Our Coraline is a rescue and she is very shy and jumpy when she meets new people, but with Saverio she clicked immediately. If you're looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker, Saverio is the one!”
12. Zoey L.
“Zoey is great with Eli. He looks forward to seeing her for his walks. Communication is great and I love seeing the videos and pics of their walks! Would highly recommend her.”
13. Dani F.
“Dani was understanding when I asked if we could move our walk time to later since it was super hot! She’s always on time and we came back home to Kiki pooped out :)”
14. Eric D.
“Eric was great, my dog usually poops on his walks and he didn’t poop on one of them so he spent an extra ten minutes walking him to get him to poop. Communicative and responds quickly too.”

18. Maria I.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs and Cats of all different sizes and breeds. Any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had my German Shepherd, and two cats. From pet sitting, long or short walks, I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. Our pups were rescued as well, with little training, so teaching them tricks was always a fun time! Thank You, From your animal caregiver. I’ve cared for puppies and for senior dogs with problems such as blindness and arthritis. I’m able to give them any medication required. And cats with catarects. I have a safe and large fenced in backyard. All dogs are separated at feeding times of 7am and 6pm, unless you feed more and have a slightly different schedule. I am used to serving regular dry, wet, mixtures, raw foods, and administering medications including injectables.
