“Ruth is a breath of fresh air for my family and my fur baby!! She took wonderful care of my Luca for her first walk, and I am so looking forward to continuing having Ruth walk my sweet girl!”


4. Mary K.


“Mary has been awesome. She was quick to respond to a last minute need and super flexible. From the first meet and greet she was fantastic with our nervous pup. Our pup quickly warmed up to her and our stress about the daily need for walks was gone. Mary has a great sense for our girl and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!”


5. Josh A.

“While my partner and I were traveling, we hired Josh to walk our dog while she stayed at my in-laws house. He made a great impression on them, on us, and most importantly, our dog, Willow! She couldn't wait for her daily walk with Josh. Even during a heat wave, he made sure our girl was exercised and stimulated. He dutifully sent us sweet pics of her after each walk that truly made our day. We looked forward to his updates and he really delivered! My in-laws were so impressed with him and said he was an absolute pro - we couldn't agree more. I highly recommend Josh if you are looking for a reliable and experienced dog sitter or walker. He was extremely flexible to our needs. You really couldn't do better than Josh!”


6. Jennifer M.

“Jennifer is amazing and has been extremely patient with our not so easy going, possessive dog. Highly recommend.”


7. Cole T.

“Cole is so good with our Mason! He is trustworthy and makes sure Mason is cared for and gets all his energy out. I never have to worry at work when I know Cole is coming to walk Mason. He sends so many pictures of Mason smiling and I’m happy knowing Mason is in good hands! Cole has become our permanent dog walker and I don’t know what we would do without him!”


8. Colleen W.
“I have known Colleen her entire life and for most of it, she has been a dog owner. She loves animals and has had a lot of experience and exposure to many different breeds of dogs. She is a very responsible person and treats her dogs and all animals with kindness and the attention they require.”


9. Jade W.

“Jade has been very conscientious in caring for my dogs and has had an intuitive understanding and playfulness in all of his interactions with Clancy and Schuyler. They adored and bonded with him as if he has been a family member for their whole doggy lives. More importantly, Jade is the first dog sitter in whom I have had complete confidence that he would follow all instructions regarding not only caring for the dogs but also caring for the house with professionalism and attention to detail. When you go on vacation, you don’t want to worry about your pets and house. You’ll be able to do that with Jade. He’s a very responsible, competent, and kind person.”


10. Ryan W.
“Ryan is a devoted pet owner and animal lover. He always wants to help all animals to allow them a better life. Ryan has a gift with dogs. When dogs see Ryan, they get excited and are drawn to him. Ryan has a coming nature with animals.”

About: I've had dogs my whole life. They're such a big part of me and I absolutely love meeting them. I'll follow any specifacation you may have for your dog. I love taking walks and playing with them. I will also feed additional pets that you may have or clean yards if needed. I am currently in college in the afternoon for an few hours on monday through thursday. I can stay at the owner's house if needed. However, I can also do visits to feed and let out if that is more comfortable for the owner. I often like to go on walk with dogs I am taking care of, they are always on the leash on these walks. I also enjoy going out in the yard to play with them. I am not opposed to crates.


12. bianca p.
“Bianca is the definition of a dog lover. The way I’ve seen her care for her dogs is like no other. She makes her dogs special meals filled with love some times i think they eat better then her. I’ve seen her literally sob because of a dog mistreatment tik tok. Sometimes i feel like she likes dogs better than people. I wouldn’t want any other person to watch my dogs given the chance.”




13. Rachel T.

“Rachel was incredibly responsive and easy to work with -- she came by before hand to meet my furchildren, was very friendly and thorough in gathering information. I totally trusted her to take great care of my guys when she dropped by, and she did! Sent pictures with updates and I didn't have a single worry (I actually went through an entire night without thinking about how they were doing!). When I saw her afterward while I was out for a walk with them, they were really happy to see her and say hi, which is always a great indicator that she took great care of them and they wanted to see more of her! I plan to use Rachel as my go-to for drop-ins and walks and can't wait to use her in the future. Highly recommend!”


14. Jennie P.


“Jennie made a great connection with Bailey! She’s reliable and on time, we’d happily reach out to use her again in the future.”


15. Laura G.

“Great job! Thanks again!”




16. Kim B.

17. Bethany D.
“I trust Beth to love my dog like her own! She’s known her since we first brought her home and I trust her to take care of her when I’m at work and can’t be home. My dog is always excited and happy to see her and play. She also helps me take care of my cat, my cat is grumpy and hates everyone but loves attention from her”


18. Joanna N.
About: My partner and I LOVE dogs of all kind. We have had our Reggie for 5 years now. Reggie is now 14 years old. We have an unfenced backyard but I will always have the dog on a leash at all times. I will also be bringing the dogs for a walk at least once a day. Dogs are welcome throughout the house. Dogs who stay overnight will be able to sleep on our bed or even on dog beds we have. Your dog will feel completely at home whether it is at my house or yours! I am currently on summer break so I am at home all day everyday. I will be with your dogs all day and will have plenty of time to let your dog out and explore. I will ensure that your dog is getting the necessary care needed whether that is health or safety. I will make sure that your dog is best cared during my visit or the entire time at my house.


19. Erica A.
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Erica, who went above and beyond to take great care of my furry friend, Charlie. When I reached out to Erica, I was in a bit of a bind - I had to go out of town unexpectedly and needed someone to take care of my dog. She was incredibly responsive, flexible, and could accommodate my request on short notice. Erica came to my house to let Charlie out, took him for walks, and fed him. She sent me regular updates and pictures, which helped me feel connected to my furry friend, even though I was away. When I returned home, I could tell Charlie had been well cared for. He was happy and relaxed, and it was clear that he had enjoyed spending time with Erica. I would highly recommend Erica to anyone in need of a pet sitter. She is reliable, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals. Thank you for taking such great care of Charlie!”


20. Roger B.

“Roger clearly loves dogs - he became instant friends with our little Maltipoo Brody. Roger was dependable and friendly, and we were lucky to have found him. Highly recommended as a dog walker!”
