“Courtney is very professional, thoughtful and gentle, with my energetic Golden Retriever. She helped us in an over heat week. She planned routes with shade, and kept a very close eye to the dog during the walks. We will definitely book again!”
“Mike is very reliable and takes Enzo on new adventures each day.”
“Super grateful that Max was able to help take care of Minnie while I was away! He communicates well and understands how Minnie behaves and worked well with her. Will definitely continue to book with Max in my future!”
“Lee Ann was fun to meet and my dog came home from his walk thoroughly exhausted. She seems to have a genuine connection with animals and we felt really comfortable with her immediately. Will definitely book her again.”
“I recently had the pleasure of having MicheIe as a dog-sitter for my beloved Golden Doodle, and I must say, she was nothing short of phenomenal. Not only did she provide the basic care that any pet owner would expect, but she truly went above and beyond in every aspect. Michele’s dedication to my dog’s well-being was evident from the start. She took the time to understand his routine, his likes and dislikes, and what makes him happiest. Her attention to detail was impressive, ensuring that he was not just looked after, but genuinely cared for. What really set Michele apart was her commitment to keeping my Golden Doodle active and engaged. She took him on regular hikes, which he absolutely loved. These weren’t just short strolls, but adventurous hikes that kept him fit and happy. Back at home, she spent hours playing games with him, keeping his mind stimulated and his tail wagging. Even during downtime, Michele made sure he was comfortable, often cuddling with him and providing the affection he adores. Her approach to dog sitting was holistic, caring for his physical health with long walks, his mental stimulation with games, and his emotional needs with genuine affection. I couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker for my furry friend, and I wholeheartedly recommend Michele to any pet owner seeking a trustworthy, loving, and extraordinarily capable dog-sitter.”
“Andi did a great job walking my pup, Charlie. She communicated very well with me and sent lots of pictures. Thank you Andi for taking great care of Charlie!”
“Anna is amazing with Chikoo! Anna is natural with dogs since she has had dogs since she was a child. She is caring yet firm with him. We absolutely loved her. Chikoo absolutely loves her. I feel that I can trust her 100% with him.”
“My Golden Retriever, Melody, and I are so happy with Thomas!!!! He walks Melody three times a week, and she is always so excited to see him, and go on the walks. She comes back tired and happy, and then takes a good long nap. Thomas is so dependable and handles Melody wonderfully. I recommend Thomas wholeheartedly! Lois & Melody”
“Super helpful and reliable! Really appreciate the extra help added on short notice when I had to be out of town for a family member’s surgery.”
“Lisa was absolutely wonderful!! It was a last min booking and she was willing to accommodate and even have a meet up ahead to get familiar with our doggos. Both of our dogs seem happy from the pictures taken during the walk. She is also very communicative and made us feel assured”
“G is a conscientious dog-lover. Growing up, they acquired ample experience socializing all kinds of dogs and horses. From puppies, through aging dogs, they have an unusual ability to connect to dogs and other animals. They love to walk and play with dogs—they also know how to groom and recognize issues. A dog would be lucky to hang out with G!”
“Cristi has always loved pets, since she was a little girl she wanted a dog and when we finally got it she immediately became its mamma, she did all the chores and took it for walks, potty trained it… but specially she gave it love. We had it for so many years in excellent shape thanks to her care and love.”
“David is an outstanding dog sitter and walker! His professionalism, knowledge of dogs, and genuine passion for animals truly set him apart. He is not only friendly but also deeply attentive to each dog's needs. Our dog absolutely adores him and always returns home happy, relaxed, and well-exercised—often with what we call "smiles" on his face! As an active runner, David keeps up with dogs of all energy levels, ensuring they get the physical and mental stimulation they need. I have complete trust in his meticulous care, training skills, and dedication to providing the best experience for our furry family members. Highly recommended!”
“Jhonatan was great when he came over to walk my two small dogs in the afternoons while I was at work. He was very timely, and sent pictures of them on their walk afterwards.”
“Robyn is an excellent dog walker! She’s very professional and confident. We can be a little anxious about our dog and felt completely comfortable with Robyn taking care of him. Her photos/updates were always great and made my day.”

“We are so thankful we found Minah! While traveling for an extended period she helped walk our dog. She was reliable, took pictures that showed our pup was having a great time, and went above and beyond. We 1000% recommend her and plan to hire her again!”
“Zoe is an absolute lover of all animals! I hired her to take care of my dogs several times. We have a frenchie and english bulldogs. She made them organic, nutritious snacks. Our dogs have separation anxiety when we leave town, but when Zoe shows up the dogs rush to her and cuddle up to her. Zoe is responsible and cleans up after our dogs. She is the perfect surrogate momma for your furry babies.”
