“Christa is an awesome sitter/walker and took great care of my dog Misha while I was out of the country for a week. She left great little notes about how things were going and gave me a ton of peace of mind while I was away. Very happy to have found someone so caring and reliable!”
“Karyssa has been an incredible dog walker and an absolute lifesaver for me and my pup. She’s reliable, punctual, and clearly loves what she does. From day one, she took the time to get to know my dog’s personality, quirks, and needs, which made a huge difference in how quickly my dog warmed up to her. Each walk is more than just a bathroom break—Karyssa makes sure my dog gets real exercise, stimulation, and attention. She always provides thoughtful updates and pictures after every visit, which I truly appreciate. It’s clear that she genuinely cares and treats my dog like her own. Having someone I can trust with my pet is priceless, and I’m so thankful to have found Karyssa. She’s dependable, kind, and passionate, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Luke was amazing with my two boys! He was super attentive and was transparent when figuring out the walking schedule. I appreciated him giving me updates and pictures about the walks and my boys seemed tired but happy after each walk. I hope to use him again!”
“I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker! She is absolutely wonderful—always punctual, reliable, and incredibly kind to Bruno. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares for him, and he absolutely adores her. Knowing he’s in such loving and capable hands gives me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
“Anne is new to our family but has been an amazing dog walker over the past few weeks. She brings a warm sincere service to my baby Bruno She is very kind and my dog is very happy Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up in a household of Schnauzers all my life! I love dogs very much and trained the last two of my families Schnauzers. I’ve dog sat for friends and family before, as they can always rely on me to take good care of their furry friends. My hybrid work schedule allows me some very flexible days of the week where I can put all my attention to watching your pet! I am most often home on Mondays and Fridays along with the weekends. I have some great walking routes around my apartment, with a nice spacious park for lots of walks or sun bathing depending on your dogs personality.
“Fletcher is always super flexible, extra caring of the pups, and super attentive with details. Truly allows for peace while away from the fur babies. Will continue to book with him!!”
“Ashleigh did a great job with our girl Mabel! Mabel’s new to the family and still adjusting and Ashleigh put my mind at ease while I was away for the weekend.”
“Kari was so lovely! My dog quickly took to her as they left the house. Knowing that my dog is a fetch lover and will play for hours, she took her to the park over the walk and they played the entire time. Perfect way to get straight to my dog’s heart!”
“Good vibes. Handed her the leash within 2 mins of seeing her meet my furry son D-Bo. It's nice to know that while I'm at work he's having company and my house door is locked afterwards so I can accomplish things in life. Recommend booking Jennifer.”
