1. Sydney C.
“Sydney was incredible with our Waldo! Our pup often walks better with another doggy friend, and Sydney was open and flexible with scheduling a meet up for our dogs in advance of the week I desperately needed some dog walking help. She included lots of photos & updates and was reliable. My dog always seemed her happiest self when I got home after a long day. 10/10 would book again!!!”
2. Charlii C.
“Charlii is not only a wonderful and reliable person, but she's great with animals as well. Which makes her even better as a human overall. I, on several occasions, have seen her interact with my friend's black lab, Dakota. Dakota is the largest and strongest black lab I've ever come across and he can be a lot to handle. Yet, I've watched Charlii handle him with such grace. It's obvious that she's created a bond with Dakota, which has a direct positive affect on Dakota's behavior. I would recommend Charlii to any of my friends and family, were a dog caregiver needed.”
3. Adam G.
“Was so glad it ended up being you that walked our Sam! Love the fact that you've walked him before with Wag and hope we get you to walk him again! He seemed so satisfied when we got home last night and usually he is bouncing off the walls trying to go pee, but he was just excited to see us last night instead. That tells us you walked him well!! Thanks Adam!”
4. Lilian v.
“Lilian is a great communicator, very reliable, and Zeke loved his walks with her! Thanks so much, Lilian! Looking forward to having you hang out with Zeke in the future!”
5. Andrea L.
“Andrea has been dog sitting our beloved Stacy for years while we take our family vacation every year. Andrea does a wonderful job not only caring for our pup while we are away but also keep us informed with how Stacy is doing with pictures and updated throughout our trip. The updates and pictures provide us with peace of mind, and allow us to really enjoy our vacation knowing Stacy is being well cared for. Last year at 10 years old, Stacy was diagnosed with cancer and as it progressed, she required more specialized care. We were conflicted if we should cancel our family vacation, but having already paid for it we decided to go if Andrea could accommodate caring for Stacy. Andrea agreed, and did a wonderful job of provide Stacy with the detailed and personalized care she needed. I would recommend Andrea to anyone is need of a reliable, caring and professional Dog sitter. If you want peace of mind and a happy pet while you're away, look no further!”
6. Emily W.
“Emily walked my Yorkie while my usually dog walker was unavailable for a month. My dog instantly loved her and she was super reliable and communicative. Definitely recommend!”
7. Rebecca C.
“My dog Daisy is a shepherd retriever mix, and is a little bit high maintenance with some anxiety. Samyu has consistently shown patience and love for Daisy, and because of this we know Samyu would be more than capable of dealing with other challenging dogs like Daisy.”
8. Jaqueline P.
“Jacqueline was so fantastic with Rufus! She was comfortable with my giant puppy, was helpful in reinforcing training with him, and was very easy to communicate with. She was a wonderful dog walker. I would ABSOLUTELY hire her over and over!”
9. Korin M.
“Korin is great! She took great care of Snow on relatively short notice, which I really appreciated. She’s a great communicator, attentive to detail and has an easy going attitude which makes planning a breeze. She kept me posted and provided details of their walks. I’ll definitely be reaching out whenever we need her pet sitting services in the future.”
10. Vivian G.
“I have known Vivian for over 5 years and she has helped me care for pets on walks and rides to the dog park in Alameda. I highly recommend her to care for your pets and she belongs to a great community in Alameda close to many trails and dog parks for the pets to be safe outside.”
11. Emily H.
“Emily was wonderful with our little Shitzu. We will definitely use her in the future. Definitely deserves 5 stars!!!”
12. Alice R.
“Alice and her kids were brilliant! She goes above and beyond being intuitive to our dogs’ needs, getting them good excercise and a good dose of loving care. I am comforted knowing my pups will get the loving attention they need (and excercise) with Alice.”
13. Nick C.

14. Kerri C.
“Kerri was wonderful walking Kayla!”
15. Sheena M.
“Sheena's warm and caring attitude was quickly appreciated by us and our three dogs. They all took to her very quickly. Sheena cared about doing a good job and provided excellent care for our dogs and cat. We have mastiffs and a Blue Heeler, all of which are well behaved but strong willed. They respected her authority, including the Tuxedo cat. She was able to feed and care for them properly and kennel them when needed.”
16. Teetouch P.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Teetouch. He has taken excellent care of my dog, Dutch, making the experience pretty smooth and easy. Teetouch shows exceptional dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Your pets will be in great hands!”
17. Caryna D.
“Caryna watched my dog for 3 months while I was deployed. She sent me regular updates and photos of how my baby was doing. I left her with grooming supplies and she was able to keep up with his basic grooming since he's immunocompromised and is unable to visit a normal groomer. Highly recommend, would let her watch my baby again”
18. Jessica S.
“Jessica was extremely communicative and reliable! The puppies had a great time with her and we would definitely use her help again!”
19. Kyra J.
“Kyra is so sweet and patient with our doggy Kobi. Kobi is a shy boy and Kyra brings out his most playful, happy self, he lights up when he sees her! Kyra is always timely and communicative, and we always love when she comes to visit”
20. Hannah T.
