“Great walker! She took lovely pics of my dog as well which I appreciated.”


8. Ivanna B.
“As Ivanna’s husband and proud co-parent of our sweet kitty, Milo, I can honestly say she is the most caring, loving, and attentive pet sitter you could ever ask for. I’ve seen how she pours love into everything she does for Milo—whether it’s playing with him, ensuring he has everything he needs, or simply snuggling him when he needs comfort. Ivanna has an incredible ability to connect with animals, and it shows in the way she treats them with such patience, compassion, and respect. I trust her completely with Milo and know that any pet she looks after will be treated like family!”

Samantha has an exceptional way with animals, and her genuine love and care for them is evident in every interaction. She is reliable, professional, and always goes the extra mile to ensure Stanley has a great time on his walks.

11. Taliah D.
“My pup has terrible separation anxiety. He typically sits by the front door and cries until I come home. Taliah is very patient with him. When I return home, my pup is happy to see me but doesn’t show signs of anxiety. He is always happy to see Taliah, wagging his tail when she comes in. He doesn’t show any signs of fear. Although he still cries when I leave, I know he is well cared for and that is comforting to me.”

“Jennifer & Michele have been walking our 80# Doberman, Mila, multiple days a week - for the past several weeks. Mila is obsessed with them both & lays by the front door anticipating their arrival. They take her on new adventures all the time - to the local dog park or walking in a new nearby neighborhood. Jennifer & Michele are extremely responsive, reliable & flexible. It's been great getting to know them both & I highly recommend their services!”

About: I have two large sized dogs who are 8 and 7 and I have had them since they were were 6 months old. Additionally, I had childhood dogs growing up and a cat throughout college and early young adult life. My dogs are well trained and love company!
