“Abby is an excellent dog walker! She is 100% reliable, communicates well and responds quickly. My dog loves when she visits! I highly recommend Abby.”
“Stephanie has been wonderful to work with and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Our pupper enjoys every walk she takes with her. We can really tell that Stephanie cares about our dog and enjoys what she does. When we’ve had issues that we needed to cancel at the last minute, Stephanie was responsive and more than flexible in rescheduling and helping us. As long as Stephanie continues to work on rover, we will continue to do our best to make every accommodation needed to book her every time we need someone.”
“Michelle is an absolute gem of a dog walker! From the moment she met my Guster, I knew we were in good hands. Her genuine love for animals is clear in everything she does — from the way she greets Gussy with enthusiasm each visit, to the thoughtful updates and photos she sends after every walk. Michelle is dependable, professional, and truly treats Guster like her own. My dog lights up when she sees Michelle, and I have total peace of mind knowing hes being cared for with such kindness and attention. Rain or shine, Michelle always shows up with a smile and ensures my biy gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and love. Finding someone you can trust to care for your animal as you do is no small thing, and I’m incredibly grateful to have found Michelle. If you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, caring, and simply amazing with dogs — look no further. Michelle is the best!”

I cannot thank her enough !”
