“I'm so grateful we found Sophie to help out with our dog Meli! Sophie was flexible and able to come walk our dog a few times per week while I was traveling and my husband was working long hours. She is great with dogs, trustworthy, and communicative. The cute photos she sent of Meli were the icing on the cake! If we are back in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate to hire Sophie again.”

7. Sydney M.
About: I have spent my whole life loving and caring for dogs. Around 7 years ago I got my own dog so I am well versed and the love and care that goes into taking care of your fur baby. I have experience with puppies through senior dogs, reactive dogs, and dogs post surgery! I currently have a hybrid work schedule and love to get out for walks during the day before work, at lunch, and after work. Those are the prime hours that I am available to take care of dogs whether it be a drop in to give the dog attention, a short walk, or a long walk. I’m flexible to adjust to your schedule and how you take care of your pet. I have experience with both crating dogs, dogs that have sections for free rein, or completely free rein dogs. I also have two large dogs so I am comfortable with bigger dogs being both on and off leash.
8. Erin M.
“Erin, is incredible with our 1 yr old border collie. She was a true life saver and we are so grateful for her help!”
9. Angela S.
“Angela took care of my 3 month old kitten and it was clear that he was in good hands. She made sure he was well-fed and entertained, and I would gladly trust Angela with taking care of my pet anytime.”
10. Amanda S.
“Amanda was very understanding and communicative with our pup who can get shy with new walkers!! She was sure to update us and send pictures and videos which was very helpful. We will definitely be booking her again!”
11. Emma T.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have been trusted to care for numerous anaimals in my neighborhood through middle, high school, and college. I have experience caring for dogs of all different sizes, breeds, special needs, temperaments. Any dog I meet I love like my own! I work from home so I am very flexible with my schedule and available for all your pet’s needs! I love going on walks and getting outside! I follow your instructions to give the best care for your pets! I have taken care of more timid and aggressive dogs and know how to care for them.
12. Hailey K.
“I have known Hailey since she was 16 and I’ve watched her grow into a hardworking, respectful and very kind young woman! She has grown up with and around dogs and cats, she has a huge heart and really knows how to care for her pets. I think she will make a really great dog walker, one you can certainly trust with your pet!”
13. Rachelle P.
“Rachelle is a wonderful person! She has watched and taken care of my dog Sully on numerous occasions! Sully absolutely adores her and Rachelle is so great with her! I’d trust her with Sully or any pet I own :)”
14. Ethan J.
“Fantastic, reliable, clear communicator! Mishka loved him, and my roommate was so relieved to know she would be coming home after work to a happy, comfortable dog rather than one who was crossing his little legs the whole day. Ethan was a great find! If he lived closer, I'd book him regularly, but he mentioned the commute would be tough in the long run. I highly recommend!”
15. Ana M.
“Ana did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Cooper. He had a great time, and I could tell he was in good hands from the regular updates and photos. Ana was attentive and genuinely cared about Cooper’s well-being. I felt completely at ease knowing Cooper was happy and well-looked after. Highly recommend Ana for anyone needing a dog sitter!”
16. Elaine G.
“Elaine was absolutely magnificent with my babies! I was nervous because people tend to fear the breeds I adopted. At the meet and greet, my babies immediately loved her. Elaine wasn’t intimidated by their size or high energy cuddles. I’m usually very particular about my pups, but Elaine’s energy, professionalism, and care really reassured me when I was away!”
17. Kerra H.
“Kerra and Chris were sent by a guardian angel when I was getting desperate looking to replace my walkers of a year who were moving out of state. My GSD doesn’t do great meeting strangers, so we have to do a very slow introduction to both humans and dogs. She also has reactivity to dogs around our condo building (which there are tons of) so I needed someone who would be understanding with her when she has big feelings and who I could trust to keep her out of trouble and avoid any dangerous incidents. I had a bunch of meet n greets with potential walkers and none seemed to feel like the right fit for our needs. She took to both Kerra and Chris instantly when she met them and they displayed patience and understanding with her and took the extra time to visit us several times over the course of a few weeks before they started on a permanent basis so she could get very comfortable with them coming into her home and being her guardians when I’m not able to be there during an extremely busy work season that requires 5 days in office and some evening events. They have showed up for her in so many ways, but the biggest favor they did after all of that was to carve out an entire day between the two of them to cover staying with her in my apartment while painters came and repainted the doors in my hall, leaving the door open and without an accurate schedule or window of time to know when they’d be by. My building didn’t accommodate a request to do mine while I was home one day so I was forced to figure out a way to keep Strawberry from being very stressed all day in her crate with strangers coming in and out and they came through for us with just a few days’ notice. I can’t thank them enough. They went above and beyond for Strawberry in a big way. And I feel they both love her and take care of her like their own three pups! I also love that they are a dynamic duo - it helps in times where one may not be able to make the schedule work one day and the other is immediately able to cover without me having to do additional coordination with another walker on the fly! They are truly a blessing in so many ways!”
18. Cheryl B.
“Cheryl has pet sit for my special needs cat several times now and has honestly been a godsend! I never have to worry when she’s watching my sweet boy, Duncan, who has CH. Cheryl goes above and beyond to spend quality time with Duncan and makes sure he’s not feeling lonely. Having a pet with special needs means I’m usually very anxious leaving him but knowing Cheryl is so capable and loving with Duncan puts me at ease. She is also great about sending lots of pictures and daily updates so I know all is well.”
19. Jonathan M.
“It is our pleasure to write a testimonial for Jonathan. He has been taken care of our animals for years and there is a sense of reassurance when we know that he will be visiting, nurturing and playing with them. Jonathan will have a special place in every animals heart that he touches.”
20. Mikaela A.
“I have nothing but great things to say about Mikaela! She was reliable, professional, and caring. Our dog warmed up to her immediately and she took great care of him. I will definitely be re-booking with Mikaela.”
