1. Thillaiyampalam "Raj" R.
“Raj is one of the most incredible dog walkers I've met. He has done a really great job with my shy Siberian Husky who loves him - he is genuine, highly experienced with dogs, caring, trustworthy and goes a long way to ensure my dog is always safe. When my husky got sick, he checked in multiple times to see if he could help in anyway to get better which I really appreciated. Highly recommend Raj.”

4. Kate & Alex T.
“Alex and Kate have been amazing! I’m new to Jersey City and finding a dog walker for my pups was at the top of my to do list when I got here. Alex and Kate have been so great! They took time to get to know my dogs at a meet and greet and were so patient with my timid guy. They have sent me pictures and let me know how the walks are going. They have also had great communication. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog walker!!”

“Thank you for your patience with Lacy! She is tough!!”
13. Julia D Y.
“Julia is such a caring, reliable, trustworthy Rover host. We were in a bind and asked Julia for help with walks for our two high energy dogs. Despite asking on such short notice, Julia was able to accommodate us into her schedule and took great care of our pups. She sent very detailed photos and write-ups, and even took them for a longer walk one of the days even though we only reserved a 30-minute walk. You can tell Julia really has a passion for animals. Thank you Julia, we will surely be scheduling with you again in the future!”
14. Mackenzie W.
“Mackenzie is new to pet ownership and has really done her research into what sort of care goes into making her pets happy. She takes her cats out for walks, plays with them, and makes sure they have everything they could possibly need. She would make an excellent pet sitter!”
