Matt was great! He came and met us the day before our walk/drop in, it was nice knowing he would know exactly where everything was and what to do. During the drop in he sent updates and pics! We will use him again. Thank you again, Matt!

I hired Natalie to walk my dog while I had all day commitment. She was amazing with my dog who can be shy with strangers. She followed directions perfectly and even came back after discovering an issue with the punch code on the front door. I’d highly recommend her. She’s clearly a committed person and animal lover.

Chiel is amazing! He is super friendly, has positive energy and after meeting, I had no reservations entrusting him with my fur baby. Bowser was smitten at first sight! He enjoyed his first walk and was extremely excited to see Chiel for a second walk. I have already scheduled again. It’s difficult to choose a new walker/sitter from an app, I hope this review helps if your on the fence. You will not be disappointed!

Hans is very loving with my two cats and I feel completely at ease leaving them in his care. He seems to have a special rapport with them and is able to coax my shy one out. Hans is certified in pet Reiki and that is something he’s happy to provide as a bonus. The cats seem to respond favorably. Hans is very dependable and good at keeping in touch with me. He will do whatever is asked and he genuinely seems to love animals. I would recommend him without hesitation.

April did a great job with my dog. She encountered an aggressive dog who came at My Dog while being on the walk. April skillfully took care of it in a way that was positive for My Dog and all concerned. I highly recommend April!
