“Elaine has been amazing with our dog, Jax! He’s usually pretty shy, but he warmed up to her so quickly. It’s clear she really understands dogs and takes her time to make them feel comfortable. She’s reliable, kind, and clearly loves what she does. We’re so glad we found her!”
“Denise walks our dog, Rico, weekly and he loves her! He does not always react well to strangers, but he immediately took to her. We really appreciate how she informs us on how each walk goes.”
“Lisa is a wonderful with our newest four legged family member! She is always on time and he loves when she arrives!! We were very lucky to have found her and count our blessings!”
“Vanessa was great! She accepted our last minute ask for our dog, Snoopy and was able to give him a great walk, feed him, and give him lots of love. Thanks Vanessa!”
“We used Eléni for daily waking while we were away. She was so sweet and loving to Jake and helped my mother in law with some medication he needed on his paw. She was punctual and walked him for the full agreed upon time plus more for belly rubs! I highly recommend Eléni and will definitely be using her again when the need arises!”
About: I have worked intensively for 3 years in dog daycare with as many as 30 dogs in a room. Before that I’ve always been an avid dog owner and caretaker for as long as I can remember. I work mornings during the week, so I am available after 1:30 pm weekdays. I am very punctual and reliable, and deeply care for a dogs wellbeing! I prefer to care for pets in a client’s home, although I’m sure there can be some exceptions, although I don’t have a huge amount of space
“Caleigh was so patient and attentive to my pup. She wrote detailed summaries of every walk and took amazing pics! She was also great with our cat, which was an added benefit. It was very easy to communicate with Caleigh and I’ll be sure to book her in the future when needed!”
“Barbara is very reliable and great with our dog! She takes great care with him. She also leaves helpful notes on his Rover card, so we can see what he was up to each day.”
“Always on time and takes great care of our boy Eli! We asked him on only a few days notice to walk, feed and spend time with our dog on a Friday night so we could go to a wedding. Not only did he respond quickly but he did a great job and even stayed extra time. 10/10”
“Ray is clearly a lover of dogs and my boy Benji sensed that immediately. I’m a little nervous when allowing new people around Benji, but I felt extremely comfortable with way. Benji looks forward to more walks with Ray.”

Anthony is an absolute gem! He is clearly passionate about what he dues and very knowledgeable. My extremely reactive dog immediately relaxed around him and was lying at his feet within the first 2 minutes of the visit and my very yappy pomsky didn’t bark at him once. I highly recommend booking this dog whisperer to anyone, we are so happy we found him!
We needed a walker last minute and so glad we found Armin! He is communicative, punctual, and kind. He was immediately great with my Husky mix and has now become my go-to when we need a dog walker. He is very flexible, responds quickly, and provides detailed updates for every walk. Highly recommend!
