“Pearl is the best! We had a last minute need for a dog walked, and she confirmed for us. She took great care of our old lady dog, Olivia (15 years old), for the 2 days that we were away. She sent us photo and video updates, which I really appreciated. And she gave some pets to our cats before leaving our house each walk. I can’t thank Pearl enough, and I will definitely book her again.”


“It’s been amazing experience with Shannakae as a first time user of Rover. She is very caring and patient with our Cane Corso. You can tell that she really enjoys what she does. She is very genuine and easy to talk to. Great with communication! Wow! We love that she looks out for our dog’s best interest by giving us any recommendations that make him feel more comfortable and safe. Our dogs fell in love with her right away. She takes care of Hachi as her own :) At first, I was a bit worried because we’ve never hired a dog walker through the app, but Shannakae gives us piece of mind. I would recommend hiring her anytime, hands down! We are extremely pleased and thankful for how well she takes care of Hachi. Your pet will be in good hands! She is very reliable, quick responsive and extremely friendly. Hachi adores her! We look forward to continuing working with you! :)”


About: If you're looking for a way to relax and enjoy some peace of mind, bring your little dog to me! I will provide them with all the love, attention, and care they deserve, treating them just like one of my own. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, or simply a comforting environment, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after while you're away. You can rest easy knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. I’m a stay-at-home mom, and I truly cherish the time I get to spend with my family. My amazing husband works from home, which allows us to balance family life in such a special way. We are fortunate to have this arrangement, as it means we can support each other and create a warm, loving environment for our kids and dogs every day. It’s a team effort, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! We have two kids—our sweet daughter, who’s 5 ½, and our playful son, who’s 4. Both of them grew up around dogs and love them with all their hearts. Our fur family is a huge part of our lives, and each of them has their own special charm. Our oldest, Nobi, is a 9-year-old Shih Tzu, and he's the epitome of calm and relaxation. He’s such a chill soul and absolutely adores massages, which makes him the perfect companion for a quiet afternoon. Then there’s Lolli, our 7-year-old Cockapoo. She’s a little on the shy side but has such a gentle, loving nature. She will happily lick us for affection and is always ready for a good game of fetch. Our youngest, Domi, is a 2-year-old Bichon who we adopted last year in November from his previous owner. He’s an absolute cuddle bug and full of energy, always up for playful antics and snuggling up on the couch next to you. He brings so much joy and warmth to our home. Each of our dogs is so unique, and we cherish the love and personality they bring into our lives and we can’t wait to experience more! We live in a spacious home with a large basement that’s dedicated entirely to dogs. The basement has two cozy rooms where your dog can relax, sleep, or play in peace. In addition to that, we have a huge, fully fenced-in backyard where they can run, play, and explore to their heart’s content. It’s the perfect space for outdoor fun and adventure! Along with our three loving dogs and our two easy going kids, they’ll be surrounded by a lot of love and companionship, making it an enjoyable experience for them while you're away!

“Danny goes Above and beyond! It was raining today so Danny was with cyan for over an hour when it was supposed to be just a 30 min walk. She gets emo when we go to work and usually ain’t eat. She clearly enjoys her walks with Danny because we’ll come home and her bowl is empty 🥺. Thanks Danny!”


“Jim was very patient and gentle with our 60-lb AmStaff, Nova. He was prompt and communicative, and respectful of her need to avoid other dogs. We would recommend him for sure!”

Asking the owners questions about if they’re allergic to anything and what don’t you want them to do while I’m here. Making sure they’re feed and getting info of what they eat from the owners.

About: I love looking after pets and getting to know each of their unique personalities. I think animals make the world a better place by being here. They teach us about patience, love, loss, and growth. The great thing about all pets is they're all different in their own way and they all offer love. I have two cats at home, who are pretty low maintenance, they need plenty of love and play time. I dedicate every day more than an hour to each cat to make sure they feel loved and entertained. It obviously entertains me as well! Patience and looking for warning signs are very important. Taking time to communicate to the pet owners of any concerns is also a priority if that is the case. I think a good line of communication is super helpful. Getting to know the pets is helpful too.
