“Eliza has been walking my dog Tilly for a few weeks and has been doing a great job. Tilly is a "wallflower" and a tough cookie to crack and this is the first time she's had to have a walker that is not me nor my wife. Eliza was very patient with Tilly for the first few days while she was becoming more comfortable with a stranger. Eliza has been reliable every single day and has always been on time. She sends a detailed report about the walk and what Tilly was like, photos, and makes sure Tilly has enough water after dropping her off. Overall, Eliza is the first person I will think of when I need the extra help.”
“Susie was great with Dobby! She did a meet and greet with us prior to the walk. She was punctual, followed care instructions, took pictures and even squeezed a brushing session in for my dog. Will definitely rebook and refer. Thank you Susie”
About: Working remotely, I have spent countless hours training, playing and just straight up hanging out with my pup Rayne. Above all, my absolute favorite thing to do is to go for walks with him. I love walking, running, playing sports… just being active - so taking my dog out for upwards of 2 hours a day was a natural fit. He is a pit/shepherd mix so I am equipped to deal with energetic dogs or ones that like to pull. I will truly treat your dog like my own. This is something I love to do. My calendar is up to date! I’m open to recurring walks if that is what you need as well. I love walking dogs as it is exercise for me too! Safety is of upmost importance so I look to take my time and avoid busy streets. I also believe in listening to the dog and letting them sniff to exercise their mind.
About: I bring years of experience and genuine care to every pet I meet. I treat your furry friend like my own-whether it’s walks, playtime and company. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I’m available all day Tuesdays, Fridays, and most weekends to provide your pet with attention and reliable care. I have a secure fenced in yard and a sweet friendly dog who loves making new friends-perfect for keeping your furry companion happy and entertained.
“Anne was great! Ruby loved her right away. Anne arrives early and was very pleasant. Took some time to get to know Ruby. She was communicative through the walk and sent photos. Definitely recommend!”

About: I've had dogs growing up all throughout my life, and have regularly assisted my friends in the area when they are away on vacation (or even just for the day) by checking on their dogs ranging from a Corgi, to a Black Lab, and a Husky. I focus on ensuring the dog is active and can get all of it's energy out until it is time for a nice nap. I work fully remote and have a flexible schedule (which my 2 cats at home appreciate), and have full experience with cleaning/feeding/playing with cats/dogs to fit their needs. I'm not afraid of a dirty litter box or a poop bag! First thing is ensuring my (or your) pet(s) are comfortable and at ease. Their health is safety is a top priority, and I also emphasize regular engagement times with toys, grooming's, etc.
“Carlotta was great! We had a lot of bad luck with bookings - lots of cancellations or people just not being available! Carlotta was able to come by with less than 24 hours notice and we are so appreciative. Our dog looked happy in the pictures and he was quite tired when we got home! Will happily book Carlotta.”

“Chelsea is the absolute best! She’s been walking my dogs for years, and I completely trust her. She’s so caring and attentive with Henry, my energetic 2-year-old, and it's clear he absolutely adores her. Before Henry, Chelsea also took wonderful care of our dog Kobe, who has since passed. Kobe was older and needed a gentler approach, and Chelsea handled him with so much patience and love. Her ability to connect with dogs of all personalities and needs is truly special. She’s dependable, kind, and treats my pets like her own. I can’t recommend her enough!”
