1. Dixie L.
“Dixie has been wonderful with my nervous dog. She was open to my requests and worked with us on slow introductions, and he seems to be comfortable going out with her for midday walks now. I really appreciate her clear communication and all the updates she sends on how things went on a given day. Thank you!”
2. Lyudmyla K.
“This was our first time using this service, we were a bit nervous trying to find someone that was compatible with our Husky. That being said, we came across Milla’s profile and seen how connected she was with the pet owner and the pet. She most definitely delivers that, constantly staying connected and updating us and gave all her love and attention to Zeus. We couldn’t have found someone this ideal for Zeus whilst we did our travel and had confidence in. We look forward to having Milla again and I’m sure Zeus would be excited to have too!”
3. Emily K.
“We had Emily walk Nemo around the neighborhood! Seems like Nemo had fun. She was prompt in responses and punctual with her time. She was very accommodating even though it was a bit wet around the area due to rain earlier in the day. Looking forward to book more walks with her.”
4. Tristine L.
“Tristine was very kind and professional. She definitely understands pets are family and treated my Frenchie like her own. I will definitely be using her again in the future! Thanks Tristine!”
5. Ray A.
“Ray was phenomenal - going above and beyond to meet me and my dog briefly before our first walk in order to meet us and exchange keys. He is a great person and super reliable - don’t hesitate to book with him!”
6. Jun Michael V.
“Jun is an amazing pet owner. His dog, Sosa, has to be one of the best trained dogs I have ever met! Jun wants the best for animals and provides them the best care.”
7. Melissa F.
“I will definitely hire Melissa again if I’m ever in the area again. She was able to meet last minute and my pup loved her from the beginning. 10/10 would recommend. I was away for work and she sent photos everyday!”
8. Lauren D.
“Lauren was great with walking my dog. They made sure he got water breaks, sent updates and pictures after each walk. They were also available to extend the walk to an hour and for a super last minute booking, so I totally appreciate the flexibility. Thank you Lauren!”
9. Saana G.
“Bruce got into the bathroom and ripped toilet paper and the toilet brush.. but Saana was super nice about it! Helped clean the mess. Even towel dried Bruce after he walked in the rain. Thank you Saana! Would def recommend her. She goes above and beyond ❤️”
10. Oscar T.
“Oscar is a fantastic dog walker! He really knows how to connect with dogs, keeping them happy and active during walks. Plus, he’s super reliable!”

“Nikki is an animal lover and amazing caretaker ! She has decades of experience and most of all the heart of a caretaker especially for our fur babies of all kinds !”
12. Paulina C.
“She's great with cats and dogs. She's especially a cat lover and does her best to be friends with any cat she sees. She makes it her goal to give every pet she can as much love as possible.”
13. Audrey L.
“Audrey is extremely compassionate towards dogs and cat and takes great care of them. She has taken care of my longhaired daschund for a weekend. And when I returned from my vacation, Woody was very cuddly with Audrey and appropriately exercised. I would recommend Audrey if you are looking for either someone to walk your baby or to housesit or stay with them for a couple of days. Audrey will take care of your babies like her own.”
14. Alani R.
“Alani is hands down one of the nicest people I have met in a while, and my two dogs fell completely in love with her! I broke my leg while my husband was out of town and was unable to walk my dogs and she literally came to my rescue. She is punctual, communicative, trustworthy, and really went the extra mile to help me. Thanks Alani! -Max, Butters, & Lana.”
15. Chloe L.
“Chloe is great with both cats and dogs, she learned the dogs and cats personalities in very short time, she took good cares them and gave them a lot of love!”
16. Mike A.
“I should have posted a review on Mike awhile ago! He has been great with my dog Nolan!! Nolan loves going on walks with him. Mike is super friendly, reliable, and usually goes a little over the time frame of the walk, which is super appreciated but not expected. Super plus he is a 49er and Warriors fan!! Thank you Mike!!”
17. Ola A.
“She is a kind and loving pet owner, which transfers to her care for other’s fur babies. She goes above and beyond to do what’s best for her pups. Even to the point of relocating due to providing a better life for them. She is responsible and is always considerate of their needs. Ola is consistently aware her responsibilities as a pet owner. I hope this recommendation aids in her case! She is a fine pet owner who would add peace of mind to those who are weary of trusting others with their furry babies.”
18. Charlene Y.
“Charlene is an awesome dog sitter!!! She attentive and loving. She took the time to meet with Riel and I before dog sitting Riel, and asked a lot of questions to try to understand my dog. Riel loves her. Seeing the pictures of Riel while I was on a trip gives me a peace of mind! Thank you Charlene!”
19. Jessica L.
“My doggies love her! I was worried because I have a scared/timid boy and he does really well with her, he had a tough first day but she was so patient and kind with him. She does great and worries about my doggies like she would her own! She’s really nice too. Easy to work with!”
20. Angie & Tristan A.
About: I used to work at the Humane Society in Winnipeg Canada during 2017-2019, caring for dogs and cats. Then I moved to Bay Area with my husband and our dog Aki. With extensive dog training experience and a spacious home featuring a large front and backyard, we're excited to offer a warm, loving environment for your pup while you're away. I am working from home every other week with a 9/80 schedule, and my husband Tristan is fully remote at home. We usually take dog out for a 30-45min walk in the morning and potty during noon, then we take a hike after work usually will be during 6-8pm when it cools down in the summer. We have a large fenced back yard and a open front yard, located at the end of Cul-de-sac, so there is very little traffic. We got a friendly six-year old golden retriever who is very well with any type of dogs.
