“Kathryn was awesome with Malfy! We wanted Malfy to be a part of our wedding so we used Kathryn to help us out with Malfy during photos and our ceremony! She was wonderful! Super professional and accommodating and we felt very comfortable with her watching Malfy over the course of our wedding. We’d definitely recommend her services and use her again next time we’re on the island.”
“While vacationing in Nantucket with my dog Jack, I decided last minute to give River a try. After reading all the reviews, Bradley was the perfect fit for what I needed. Brad was always on time, great with communication on what Jack had done during their 30 min walk, fed Jack and made sure he had fresh water. Jack took very quickly to Brad and was excited for their daily walks. As a first time River user I was thrilled with both Brad and the app - I highly recommend both!”
“Elizah is wonderful and Winston always came back happy and full of energy. Her love of animals is genuine and her willingness help is unmatched. No owner will regret acquiring her services, she's great!”

About: I always had pets growing up, I love spending time with them. I have a 2 year old, full of energy german shepherd named Leo. He is my world. I have learned, researched and trained him, so I have the experience to handle a high energy pup and teach them some trick. Your pup will be overloaded with love and care. I work Mon-Wed and every other Saturday, so I will be able to board, or just be with your pup during the day from Wednesday from 6 pm to Sunday 8 pm.

About: We have always had at least one furry family member. We love our French bulldog Ivy. We take great care of our dogs and can’t wait to meet yours! I work two days a week at the hospital, on those days my husband takes care of our dog. The rest of the week I take my dog almost everywhere with me. My dog is very loyal and submissive, she loves almost every other dog. Our friends always leave their pets with us when we travel. We live next to a park so we take a few short walks around the park daily and long walks to the beach or downtown.
“Can’t thank Stewart enough for doing such a wonderful job with our puppy, Elliott. Due to covid-19, Stewart was the first person to interact with Elliott outside his (new) family and original breeder. Elliott was a bit shy at first, but was soon won over by Stewart. They became “friends” in no time and Elliott returned from his walk tired and happy. Steward is a consummate professional, pleasant to work with, responsive and responsible. I would highly recommend him!”
“Lucky to have Brian like my Tobey so much!”

“Kellie is a very kind, caring, and communicative person! I personally worked with her for 6+ months caring for her dog Nando.
