“Robin has been great at communicating quickly, getting to know my doggo, and gaining his trust! He’s a pandemic puppy so isn’t used to a dog walker. I’m so glad she’s been able to get him going as I start to go back to work.”
2. Matt S.
“Matt was great! He came and met us the day before our walk/drop in, it was nice knowing he would know exactly where everything was and what to do. During the drop in he sent updates and pics! We will use him again. Thank you again, Matt!”

“Cristina is wonderful! My dog Freckles is a very shy and timid dog but within a very short time she was comfortable with Cristina and now greets her with a wagging tail :) Cristina is professional and thoughtful in how she approaches caring for your dog. I'm grateful I found her and will be using her for all future dog walking needs.”

She has been patience and understanding with Bash who can be a handful. Her dedication and professionalism exceeds my expectations. I highly recommend Cassandra to anyone in need of a reliable, compassionate, and patient dog walker. Thank you for the wonderful service! We really appreciate you. 💚”
6. Willow M.
About: My pronouns are they/them or xe/xem. I'd like the opportunity to gain experience with dog sitting. I was raised with dogs and lived with a roommate for a couple of years who had a dog. My availability is flexible. Working part time only and shifts varies each week. I perfer house and pet sitting to stay overnight so I can be attentive to special needs. I can follow a set routine for indoor and outdoor needs as well as crate usage. If walking is needed, I'd need to care for a trained dog.
7. Christopher A.
“Chris is awesome. When he heard my kids were at home sick, he brought them a care package. So thoughtful. My westy is well cared for. Thank you Chris.”
8. Nick N.
“Nick was incredible with our little guy. He was also super communicative and flexible, and just an incredible pleasure to work with. We hope he’ll continue to be available to hang with our pup.”

12. Guadalupe B.
“Guadalupe is my dog's favorite human being, period. Guadalupe and her two dogs are cherished friends who bring so much joy to my pup. Guadalupe is an excellent care giver and experienced dog mom. My dog stayed overnight with Guadalupe regularly between the ages of 2 - 4 years old without issues. Guadalupe is easily accessible (text / calls) and loves to take the dogs on local adventures. I highly recommend Guadalupe and trust her completely with my fur baby.”
13. Heather W.
“Heather has watched my 12 lb tabby cat twice, for one week and two weeks. She provided a loving, safe and comfortable home for my cat. Though he is mischievous, she handled him kindly and patiently. She provided me updates and pictures as well. I couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter! I would absolutely recommend her and use her services again.”
14. Michelle F.
“Michelle was prompt very attentive and enthusiastic and highly reliable. Planning to work with her regularly.”
15. Yeva M.
“I’ve known Yeva for more than a decade. She is very kind to animals and she’s an awesome dog mom. She adopted her dog Willow after her previous parents surrendered her to the shelter. Willow had behavioral issues and she would bark on people and other dogs. Yeva insisted on keeping her and she devoted herself to training her and finishing her socialization. She had a lot of progress and is much more well behaved and friendly know thanks to the work Yeva put into her. If I were a dog person, I’d trust my dog to Yeva without a doubt.”

18. Micah S.
“Micah loves all animals so much! She especially loves dogs. Her dog Sugar is spoiled with attention and care. Sugar is a HIGH energy Wheaten Terrier and Micah has such patience with her. Micah also helped take care of my elderly mother’s dog. Her name was Babe and she was 15yrs-old with hip and vision issues. Micah would babysit her often until Babe passed on this year. I would trust Micah with any animal!”
19. Jonathan & Chiel R.
“J & C do a great job with our Belgian Mali--Mollie. She's very happy seeing them. They are very responsive and easy to deal with. Mollie will continue walking them each afternoon. Highly recommended!”
20. Harley A.
About: I have a lot of experience around dogs and have trained a few from puppy's. I always am joyful to be around animals, they all have a different yet fun personality. I'm the guy that all animals like, even the picky ones. Pet care is daily as I have a dog myself. Between brushing, feeding, walks, throwing the ball, potty time, and lots of belly rubs my day is pretty full of it. Can do whatever is instructed, whether it be back yard time, walks, playing with toys, giving medicine, routine walks. I usually walk to the park and throw the ball for my dog, feed 2 times a day, potty breaks as she tells she needs to go.
