Eevee loves spending time with her and is always excited and in a great mood by the time we come home.

14. Qiutong L.
“Echo(Qiutong) was an incredible sitter for my pet, and I couldn’t recommend her more! She was attentive, reliable, and truly treated my pet as her own. Whether it was making sure my pet was fed on time, taking them on walks, or just giving them love and attention, Echo went above and beyond. I could tell my pet felt comfortable and happy in her care, which gave me so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone responsible and caring, Echo is the perfect choice!”


15. Christine Y.
“Since you are on this site you already know finding a reliable and trustworthy dog walker can be a bit of process to find someone that cares for your furry family member. I am happy to say you found a great choice in Christine. All the years I’ve know her she has always been dependable and consistent with clear communication. She is always prompt and reliable whenever I call upon her. Knowing Christine is a dog momma herself brings me comfort. My experience along with my conversations with her shows her expertise and knowledge to give personalized attention to your pet and their unique preferences. I believe she will care for your dog as if it was her own. I wholeheartedly recommend Christine!”


16. Kayla W.

“Kayla was absolutely WONDERFUL with our two cats. Our cats are still acclimating to one another, and not only did she spend time with each of them but she did an amazing job at having them play together, listening to them if they had enough, and overall giving them many positive bonding experiences with each other. I also have a much more involved feeding routine/schedule for them than most people, and she followed everything perfectly. I always looked forward to her reports and pictures, and she was very thorough on her stay and how the cats were acting/feeling. I'm 100% sure they will miss her (especially Filo) and I will definitely call on Kayla again in the future!”


17. Kathy V.

“I am completely comfortable with Vanessa caring for Milo, my 17-year-old cat who has kidney disease. She is reliable, loving, and an excellent caretaker while I'm away. I know his litter is changed and he receives his meds. Kathy is amazingly affectionate with my lil old man cat. Thank you, Kathy!!!!!”


18. Anthony M.
“I highly recommend Anthony as a dog walker based on their exceptional care for their own dog. Having witnessed firsthand their dedication and love towards their furry companion, I am confident they will extend the same level of attention and responsibility to other dogs in their care. Anthony consistently ensures their dog's well-being through regular exercise, proper nutrition, and attentive grooming. They prioritize safety during walks and playtime, always using appropriate equipment and keeping a vigilant eye on their dog's surroundings. Moreover, their nurturing approach fosters a strong bond built on trust and positive reinforcement. With their natural affinity for dogs and conscientious attitude, Anthony is well-prepared to provide reliable and compassionate dog walking services. Their commitment to the happiness and health of dogs makes them an excellent choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”


19. Louise W.

“Siyang is someone who loves animals and has great patience with them. She once helped me take care of my dog, who has severe anxiety issues. Even as the owner, I had to put in a lot of effort to keep my dog calm, but Siyang quickly built a bond with my dog, sparking curiosity and playfulness. She remained patient even when the dog acted out. Siyang is a trustworthy and reliable pet caregiver.”


20. Jadyn G.
“Jadyn has demonstrated her devotion to pet care both as a dog mom herself, and as a dog sitter for friends and family over the years. She has a corgi, Clyde Waggins, aged 1.5 years. Since getting Clyde, I have seen nothing but unconditional love and consideration for him. She loves him more than anything else in this world, and he and his wagging tail feel the same towards her. When watching other dogs, she is patient with even the most energetic dogs that I have seen, and gives all animals the same affection that they deserve. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone who your pet will look forward to seeing, and who you can count on to care for your pet like one of their own”
