1. Ananda S.
“Ananda was amazing - she was really helpful coordinating dates/times, she stopped by early to meet my dog, and she was lovely about keeping me updated with everything! I think she’d be a great sitter or walker that I’d recommend to anyone”
2. Emily W.
“Emily walked my Yorkie while my usually dog walker was unavailable for a month. My dog instantly loved her and she was super reliable and communicative. Definitely recommend!”
3. Sophie C.
“Sophie has been amazing with my girl Rosie as she adjusts to city life. She has made a huge impact on keeping her calm and helping keep her active by giving her good exercise and working with to stay calm and focused while encountering squirrels, other dogs and loud noises on their walks. I have noticed such a change due to Sophie's interventions. Sophie is prompt, communicative and kind. A one of a kind! Rosie adores her!”
4. Shanley J.
“Shanley did such a great job with my dog, Alfie! Alfie can be nervous and shy around strangers when I’m not around and Shanley was very patient with him and took great care of him!”
5. Tristan G.
“5 stars for Tristian! The moment my pooch and I met him we could feel his kind and caring energy. He was timely, flexible if I was running late getting home, and went above and beyond to show Marvin a good time on his walks. He even brought his own treats from home for Marvin, checking in on allergies before giving them to him. Give your pooch the gift of Tristan walks!”
6. Sydney C.
“Sydney was incredible with our Waldo! Our pup often walks better with another doggy friend, and Sydney was open and flexible with scheduling a meet up for our dogs in advance of the week I desperately needed some dog walking help. She included lots of photos & updates and was reliable. My dog always seemed her happiest self when I got home after a long day. 10/10 would book again!!!”
7. Amiri T.
“We've been hiring Amiri for years to walk our 90lb bulldog. Our dog has some territorial issues and he worked with us to train him, and now we hire Amiri every time we travel. He's always responsive and on time. Highly recommend!”
8. Cassandra L.
“Casssandra has been the best dog walker!! She is very kind, communicative, and easy to work with. My dog absolutely loves her and gets so excited every time he goes on a walk. I definitely recommend Cassandra as a safe and trusted walker.”
9. Christine L.
“Christine is detail-oriented and incredibly caring in her approach! She was communicative throughout, asked good questions as needed, and took extra care to ensure my dog Ellie trusted her and had a good time. An excellent helping hand!”
10. Cynthia R.
“Cynthia was a great walker with our dog Rocky! She took him on long walks and he was a happy and tired pup every day. Very responsive as well. Thank you Cynthia!”
11. Shelly M.
“Shelly was easy to communicate with, and our puppy Ringo looked like he really enjoyed the walk! We’ll definitely book a walk with Shelly in the future.”
12. Victoria C.
“Victoria is a great dog walker. She asked good questions to make sure she was meeting my and my dog's needs. She treats Fota with care and he comes home from the walk happy and tired. I have booked with her twice and will definitely book again.”
13. Charlii C.
“Charlii is not only a wonderful and reliable person, but she's great with animals as well. Which makes her even better as a human overall. I, on several occasions, have seen her interact with my friend's black lab, Dakota. Dakota is the largest and strongest black lab I've ever come across and he can be a lot to handle. Yet, I've watched Charlii handle him with such grace. It's obvious that she's created a bond with Dakota, which has a direct positive affect on Dakota's behavior. I would recommend Charlii to any of my friends and family, were a dog caregiver needed.”
14. Isabel E.
“Zeke loves his walks with Isabel! She has good intuition with dogs. She is also very punctual and accommodating which is greatly appreciated!”
15. Adam G.
“Adam was very communicative and arrived promptly for our walk. Eko came back smiling and tired which is all I could ask for from a walk :) thank you Adam!”
16. Hans L.
“Hans has taken care of my cat, Bella, on and off for the last few years doing some overnight care but mostly drop-ins. He is a great communicator, sends photos/updates often, and Bella is very comfortable with him. Bella can be a skiddish cat so I'm thankful for Hans' patience and kindness. He's great with animals and I can tell he treats Bella with the same love and respect of his own fur babies.”
17. Julia A.
“Julia was really great to coordinate with and she was a pro at handing our dog Thunder who has some leash reactivity. He was sad when she had to go home! He doesn't usually get attached so quickly!”
18. Helen Z.
“Helen took care of my pug Pinto for a weekend and did an amazing job! She is really responsible and Pinto really enjoyed hanging out with her. I would absolutely trust Helen with Pinto again!”
19. Sheblay C.
“My dog and I had a great experience with Sheblay, she was very prompt at responding to the booking request, and took excellent care of my boy!”
20. Cindy D.
“Cindy was great from start to finish and I have recommended her to our neighbors. She was very communicative, sending a photo from every walk and coming over before our trip. She was also very responsible about fixing little problems for us. The usual walk we planned took less than 30 minutes and she used the remaining time to do small chores. We would definitely hire her again.”
