5. Michelle K.
“Michelle has been my rescue pittie’s regular dog walker for four months. I trust Michelle to keep my dog safe and happy and give her the same level of care I would. Last week I accidentally scheduled Michelle on my work from home day. It was such a treat to see how excited my dog was to see Michelle and how happy and relaxed she was after their walk!”
6. Estelle R.
“Estelle is my go-to petsitter when I need to leave my pets alone for several days. One of my pets is on several medications and each of my three pets have different dietary restrictions, but I know I can trust Estelle to make sure they get the personalized care they each need. She’s respectful of the medication schedule required for my eldest. I’ve never come home to house in disarray or an empty water bowl. I highly recommend having Estelle look after your fur babies!”

13. Dave S.
About: i enjoy dogs more than most people. i get all excited and happy to be around dogs and ignore any human being thats close by. i would volunteer to walk/hang out with my friends dogs and about two years ago i started working for a walking company, Barkly, in Philadelphia and in New York. Im moving to California in a few weeks and would like to continue to hang out with some cool dogs. I've had to deal with some antisocial and overly social dogs and i make sure to handle each situation with care. never had any problem with dogs being aggressive with children or any dog having a major problems with other dogs. im punctual and never met a dog that didn't eventually lick my hand.

15. Christie & Drew C.
“Christie and Drew were great! They accommodated a last minute request from me, and were even able to do a quick meet & greet beforehand. They gave frequent updates; I felt assured Bubbles was in good hands. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking with them in the future!”

“Klaire was great with my pup. Good communication, reliable, and sends pic updates. Will definitely be booking with her again”
17. Stephen M.
“Stephen was great with Koda. He showed up on time and gave him some good walks and pets. He spent a great amount of time with him and I could tell Koda appreciated it. 100% recommend Stephen. It was nice being able to relax knowing Koda was in trustworthy hands and getting not just a walk and food...but some love (Koda needs a lot of it to be satisfied). Stephen communicated well and even checked to make sure Koda was covered as my trip came to an end.”
