1. Diamond W.

“Diamond is wonderful! She set up time for a meet and greet with me and my puppy. She walked him when we had a last minute request. She is very responsive. Will book again. If you’re looking for someone to take care of your babies, she is the perfect person! Thanks, Diamond!”


2. Michelle D.
“Michelle takes great care of my dog Rocky! She provides tons of love and affection to my dog while I am away. He is very comfortable in her home and is always happy when I come pick him up. I highly recommend Michelle!”


3. Vinnie N.

“Vinnie was very thorough by coming over the day before to prepare for the walk for the first time and fully knew what to do with Olive. Will definitely rebook!”




4. Edward K.


“We found Ed thru Rover and read his great reviews. We hired him right away. Ed is very responsive and flexible. He also is very attentive to the details and make sure our dog gets the care we want. We really appreciate his help. Thanks! Ed”


5. Gabriela T.
“Gabriela has been an absolute gem over the past seven years, caring for my two pitties with incredible dedication and love. One of my dogs isn’t usually fond of being petted, yet she lights up whenever she sees Gabriela—she just has a special way of earning their trust and knowing exactly how to make them comfortable. Gabriela takes them on long, fulfilling walks, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. Every time she arrives, my dogs can hardly contain their excitement, and it’s clear she’s become one of their favorite humans. I couldn’t ask for a better, more reliable dog walker!”


6. Jack P.


“Jack set up a meet and greet before the wall which made me feel very comfortable with process, and he sent pictures and a detailed update on how their walk went. Great experience”


7. Jad S.

“Jad is reliable and works hard to get our stubborn anxiety ridden Yorkie out for a walk”


8. Rachel C.

“We are so blessed that we found Rachel. She has been extremely wonderful since the meet and greet. Her genuine care, patience and understanding towards Kyoshi are commendable. She took the time to get to know Kyoshi and she was very attentive as we discussed Kyoshi’s behavior and the commands to correct it or divert his attention. Further, she went above and beyond by teaching Kyoshi more commands such as paw in addition to reinforcing the commands Kyoshi and I are working on. She also has an exceptional communication skill from giving updates or giving advance notices when circumstances occurs. She is empathetic and would be more than happy to accommodate and assist. She will definitely positively touch the lives of people and pets that she will meet. Best of luck with her future endeavors! Kyoshi and I and sincerely grateful! 💕”


9. Shauna Y.

“Shauna is great! She walks our (very energetic) dog weekly. She is responsive, flexible and always on time. Our dog (Kyla) is skid-dish with new people but she warmed up to Shauna very quickly and is always excited to see her. Kyla comes back from her walks happy and tired - well worth it!”


10. Grace L.
“Grace is a pet lover to the core. She had an immediate bond with my puppy after I dropped him off at her house. She cared for him, followed all directions that I gave, as well as, provided me photo updates of my dog each day. I truly felt at ease during my vacation knowing that my puppy was being taken care of by Grace. When I picked him up, she had the cage broken down and all his items packed up in a bag. Grace is awesome and I will be using her again!”


11. Liberty W.

“Liberty was awesome with our big girl Kaya! From the photos you could tell Kaya loved her walks. Communicative, on time and reliable! Thank you for taking care of our girl.”


12. Nikky Y.

“Chantal is absolutely excellent! She goes above and beyond and is very flexible with helping us with Adrian! Her rates are more than reasonable and you can tell she really loves spending time with animals!”


15. Dyanna P.

16. Stela L.
About: From a cozy home with two cats to becoming the building's unofficial pet whisperer, I spent 18 years mastering the art of pet care. After sharing my life with three special cats and a dog, I helped neighbors' cats and pups navigate everything from daily medications to mobility challenges. Whether it's giving anxious dogs comfort and confidence to enjoy themselves, making cats purr, or ensuring senior pets get their daily care, I've proven that a heart full of love for animals knows no bounds! I'm currently working part time from home, with a flexible schedule. While still caring for my cat amd dog, this allows me to have time to share with other pets and their families that need help and assistance As we just brought home a new family member (our dog) amd they are still getting to know eachother woth the family cat, I cannot offer in home pet caring services at the moment, but it may be a possibility for later.




17. Nitin K.

“Very flexible with times and always makes sure my dog is well taken care of! Will keep booking in the future!”


18. Elisa P.
“I’ve never met someone who loves pets more than Lisa. She loves every pet the moment she meets them and cares about them just as much as her own dogs. You will not be disappointed with the care she gives your pets!”


19. Debra S.
“Debra is a great asset when I travel to the northern VA area. She is always willing to help take care of my pups when I am busy. She makes sure they get their walks, meals and exercise as needed. Debra makes traveling to VA so much easier for us.”


20. Leah M.
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was 8. I love caring for them. Always have my eye on them as I love making them feel at home and safe. It fits into my weekly routine as I’m always sitting at home. Having a lot of free time, I chose to take care of dogs as that is something I love. I have a fenced back yard with lots of space to run and go potty. My house is pet friendly meaning they can climb on anything or lay on anything.
