“Meg was great with our deaf Dalmatian, Delta. Very understanding of our dogs special needs and didn't hesitate to push through his initial hesitation of being walked by someone new. Will definitely book again!”
“Niah has been a wonderful part of Princeton Antonio’s daily routine, and he gets extra excited whenever she arrives! She’s energetic, caring, and incredibly thoughtful. One of the things I appreciate most is how she always sends me sweet photos of Princeton that I can share with my mother in Chicago (who, by the way, adores her St. Louis-based grand-dog). Rain or shine, Niah shows up every evening without fail. Her dependability and connection with Princeton have been incredibly helpful while I've been recovering from a broken ankle. She has my highest recommendation to anyone who needs a dog walker or pet sitter.”
“I can't even begin to count how many times I've relied on Alex's services for my dog, Bella. Not only does Bella always come back looking incredibly happy, but she also displays an unmatched level of excitement every time she catches sight of Alex stepping out of his car on our street. It's as if she knows she's about to embark on an extraordinary adventure with him!”
“Chandra is amazing! Getting both our dogs out for long walks and helping with our training for our reactive pup! Our lab doesn’t usually walk with people besides us but Chandra has him out and about!cant say enough about her professionalism and care for our dogs! You can tell she loves being with them!”
