“Jaime is punctual, accommodating, and dedicated to ensuring Flip's well-being. She took the time to understand his personality, preferences, and other special instructions. It’s clear that she genuinely care about forming a bond and making each walk a positive and enriching experience”
“Sabine is very dependable and my dogs loved her. My dogs can be barky and jumpy and she handled them with ease and understanding. On a visit to let out my dogs, it was raining and Sabine went out (with no overhead coverage) and coaxed my dogs to go out. I was very grateful she went through that effort since I wasn’t able to return for hours later and felt great knowing if they had to go they would. After she left, I think they waited by the front door hoping she’d come back. Greatly appreciate her!”

Kayla M.
“Kayla is a wonderful person and absolutely loves animals. Hence why she waorks at a veterinary clinic. She has 3 dogs and 3 cats and loves them more than anything. There is no shortness of attention when it comes to animals and pets. Pretty sure her 1st though of the day and last thought of the day is "pets". She's always getting her dogs toys, taking them on walks and spoiling them with all of her love. Her entire family calls her 1st when they have a question about their own pets, heck even her friends call her 1st. Her family is a family of 12(4 kids, her fiance, and her 3 cats and 3 dogs.) Great choice for a pet sitter if you ask me. 10 out of 10 definitely recommend”

“Victoria does a great job taking care of Arthur, my labradoodle. She fed, walked and played with him when we weren’t available. She takes him to the dog park and he loves it!

Valerie P.
“I can’t recommend Valerie highly enough as a dog walker and sitter! From the very beginning, she was incredibly pleasant, reliable, and easy to communicate with. She clearly has a natural connection with dogs—our pup took to her instantly and always came back happy and well-exercised after their walks. Valerie goes above and beyond, whether it’s sending updates, being flexible with scheduling, or giving extra love and attention when needed. It’s such a comfort knowing our dog is in such caring hands. Anyone would be lucky to have Valerie looking after their furry family member. Thanks Val!”
