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!

Carolyn was an excellent dog walker! She took my little pup for long enough walks to tire him out while I worked long hours, even in the crazy heatwaves. I knew she cared for Skippy by always refilling his water at home and giving him lots and love and attention. I will definitely use Carolyn again for my pet sitting needs.

About: Hi! I have taken care of animals for years and I currently have two kittens of my own! Throughout college, I was constantly watching my friends new puppies, so I am not afraid of high energy and would love to play and run around! My dog of my own passed away this year so I also have experience with senior dogs and the time and patience they require! I am here for dogs and cats of all ages! I currently work from home and have the flexibility to come and go as needed or stay at the house during the day/most nights. Looking forward to working with you! At my own home, I have a fenced in back yard, fully open with grass, there are no dangers or pool in the yard! As far as clients houses, it is my priority to treat their house with respect and follow all their instructions!

About: Hello! My names Maddy and I’m a reliable, patient, and animal-loving caregiver dedicated to making sure your furry family members feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s energetic playtime, relaxed cuddle sessions, daily walks, or consistent routines, I tailor every visit to your pet’s unique personality and needs. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including shy pets who need a little extra time to warm up and high-energy pups who love to stay active. I’m attentive, communicative, and always keep pet parents updated with photos and notes so you can feel at ease. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities — and I treat every animal with the same care and respect as my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! My schedule is the opposite of most. I work 6pm-2am 3 days a week and then have my entire day ahead of me to work with my dogs, and stop in to walk neighbors/friends pets as well! I always walk my dogs (and others) with an extra leash on me at all times, pet corrector, an air horn and high value treats. Owning a dog selective dog myself, I take safety and precaution very seriously. All of these things are brought with me is case of an emergency situation where an off lead dog may be be running at us. I know no one wants to think about these things happening but unfortunately they do. Safety for your pet is my utmost concern!

John provided great care for our dog Duke (and on New Year's Eve!). We found ourselves needing some dog care on short notice. John accepted our request and was really great with Duke. Every aspect of the interaction went perfectly. John was on time, great with communication, spent time with Duke and gave us peace of mind that Duke was well cared for in our absence. Absolutely would recommend John's service and will happily engage with him again. Thank you, John.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Kensington.
