3. Jane P.
“Jane has been walking my 2-year-old mini Schnauzer mix for several months, and I’m so impressed. She’s great at keeping him engaged during walks, especially by using treats to reward good behavior. My dog absolutely loves the extra attention and always comes home tired and happy. I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker!”

9. Jenna & Gregory D.
“Jenna and Greg are nothing short of amazing. We needed a house and dog sitter for a week while we were out of the country for our wedding. They were punctual for the meet up, communicated multiple times a day with adorable photos and updates, and took exceptional care of the house. They even sent us a photo of our dog wearing a “our humans are getting married” bandana which is so thoughtful!!! Our dog is 14 and has medicines to take, can be anxious and also carefully needs walked and taken up/down stairs due to his age. They handled it all perfectly and I can tell my dog was happy the entire time. I will forever go back to these two!!!!”

“Julia was amazing with our dog. He absolutely loved her. She kept us informed an up to date everyday. Julia was also very respectful to our home. We will definitely be calling her again.”
13. Yasmin O.
“She was such a great cat sitter for my 2 cats. My cats are very shy when it comes to new people and they like it to be quiet and calm when they meet new people. The came out after about 2-3 mins of her being here and they warmed up to her right away. She was able to play, feed and clean their litter box while we were away and she also watered our plants as a bonus! She has watched our cats again after that and I will definitely continue to have her watch any pets of mine.”

She is not only reliable, but genuinely enjoys spending time with your pet. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch your dog or cat, Gabby is the one.”
