1. Devin M.
“Devin has been great with my pup from the start. He is dependable, kind, and responsible. My pup took to him immediately, which is always a good sign! I know my pup is well cared for when Devin is walking him, and I appreciate how trustworthy and consistent Devin has been. I’m truly grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to care for your fur baby as well!”
2. Aurora C.
“Another fantastic experience in having Aurora walk Jaxson. Aurora went above and behind all my expectations with walking my dog Jaxson. If the app let me, I’d tip even more than 30% today! Great job and thank you Aurora!!!”
3. Cathalina M.
“Cathalina immediately gained the trust and tail wags of our shy pup. She was punctual and took him on some nice long walks. Cathalina is wonderful and we are so glad to have found her to care for our pets.”
4. Natalie J.
“Natalie was very quick to respond to me last minute! I was worried about having someone come walk the dog who I haven’t met before but she did a great job making me feel comfortable with lots of pictures of my dog on their walk and took excellent care of her. Would absolutely recommend her as someone you can trust to take great care of your pets! Thanks again, Natalie!”
5. Jamie F.
“Jamie clearly takes his responsibilities seriously and takes the utmost care of our dog. As first time dog owners, we were nervous to leave our pup in someone else’s care, and how our pup would react to someone else being in the home. Those nerves quickly vanished, and we as well as our puppy enjoy having Jamie come over to walk him and care for him. He is very professional and very caring toward our dog, which is all we could ask for!”
6. Brayton C.
“Brayton was great. Larry liked him immediately and was happy to go with him. We will definitely book with him again.”
7. Kathryn R.
“Kathryn was great. She took our dog for a nice walk, and he was so happy. Nice to not worry about him being alone all day and be in such good hands.”
8. Kayla A.
“Kayla is awesome! She has great communication and Banjo loves his walks with her. She always takes the time to play fetch with him in the backyard after their walks - Banjo’s favorite! I really appreciated that Kayla also took the time to coordinate a time to meet Banjo prior to his first walk. I would definitely recommend Kayla!”
9. Tess J.
“Tess was great! My dog who doesn't always love new people instantly loved her and was excited to go for walks!”
10. Michael D.
“Michael is wonderful! He is extremely patient with our pup who isn’t always a fan of strangers. He came over and met with him prior to his first dog walk and takes time before each walk to let our pup warm up to him. Michael is very understanding and met our pup exactly where he was, which happened to be a very upset belly. He made sure our pup was cleaned up and had a nice place to sleep before he left. He updated us and sent very cute pictures. We are definitely rebooking with Michael!”
11. Jose M.
“Jose is truly the best dog caretaker you could ever find. His dependability and passion for animals are second to none. Whenever I need his assistance, I can count on him to be available, often on the same day I reach out. His quick response time is incredibly reassuring, and he’s always ready to step in with just a day's notice. His pricing is also very reasonable, providing excellent value for the exceptional care he delivers. Over the years, I’ve relied on Jose time and again for work trips and vacations, and he consistently exceeds my expectations. Jose’s genuine love for animals is evident in everything he does. He goes above and beyond to ensure my pets are not only well cared for but also genuinely happy and comfortable. His responsible and compassionate approach gives me complete peace of mind when I’m away. If you need a reliable and devoted pet caretaker who can accommodate last minute requests, Jose is your go to person. I wholeheartedly recommend him he’s the best in the business!”
12. Lori G.
“She is taking care of my dog to the point that I couldn’t even imagine. Lotta difficulty with my dog named Apollo and she’s taking him overnight. She’s done everything that makes our dog happier. She is what I call my dog whisperer my dog when I walk him through the neighborhood. He goes right to her house, so happy I found her.”
13. Heather D.
“My boy was well taken care of by Heather while my partner and I were gone for a weekend. She made sure he drank water, was fed, walked, and given some cuddle time twice a day. Highly recommended. 🫂”
14. Gokhan E.
“I had Gokhan take care of my cats for six months, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. He is incredibly detail-oriented and follows every rule with precision, which gave me great peace of mind. My cats received not just excellent care but also plenty of quality time and attention from him. Gokhan genuinely cares about the animals he looks after, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and caring pet sitter.”
15. Morgan H.
“Morgan was awesome with our pup, Dutton! He’s a 70 lbs chocolate lab with high energy & he seemed to be very hyper that day! She was great with him & saw him for 2 visits. He had two long walks and were looking forward to having Morgan see him again soon!”
16. Katie B.
“My almost 2 year old Lab, loves the attention she gets with Katie. We can tell Bella is comfortable. Dropping her off for few days and then picking her up is a breeze. Normally its difficult leaving her with anyone else. Highly recommend!!”

“Emma was so helpful! She came for a meet and greet, asked good questions, good communication and mostly importantly, she took super good care of my pup!”
18. Jennifer B.
“Jennifer was a great walker for Bo! She was very responsive and offered to meet Bo on short notice. She sent detailed review of his walk and multiple photos. We’d definitely use Jennifer again!”
19. Bella F.
“Bella was great with our pup! I travel frequently for work and often with little notice. I contacted Bella to see if she could help out in a pinch and she was happy to! She was very communicative and perfectly on time. I can’t recommend her enough.”
20. Arcana L.
“Arcana has so much love for their dogs and others. They do whatever they need to, to make sure every dog is properly cared for, while still allowing the dog to be comfortable and have fun. I completely recommend them to anyone who needs their dog taken care of.”
