2. Alex S.
“I cannot recommend Alex highly enough as a dog walker! Over the past two weeks, she has been taking care of my pup, Otis, and the experience has been nothing short of fantastic. Alex is incredibly reliable, always showing up on time and ensuring Otis enjoys his walks. Their honest and caring nature shines through in every interaction, and it's clear that they genuinely love what they do. Alex has not only been a wonderful caregiver for Otis but also a personable presence I feel comfortable with. If you're looking for someone to become a part of your pet's life, Alex is an absolute must-add to your family!”

12. Kat M.
About: I had been a dog owner since i took my first steps! There is always a special place in my heart for pups and cats. As a dog mom I want to provide the same level of care that I expect for my own Finny boy. I work from home and have my pup Finn here who goes on regular walks and takes naps throughout the day. I have regularly scheduled breaks to walk the pups, let them into the yard, or turn on the water toys! I have a fenced yard with concrete, a deck, and wood chips. There is plenty of shade if the pups prefer to be outside. Inside the home the pups are limited to the main living areas where I am nearby at all times. Meet and greet required to make sure everyone is happy including the pups and parents. 😊
13. Lauren W.
“If I could give Lauren 10 stars I would! Not only did she make me feel so comfortable caring for my dog while I’m new to the area, she also went above and beyond to make sure my dog was ok in this heat wave! She was super responsive and sent me so many cute photos and videos! Will definitely be using Lauren again!”
14. Savannah C.
“To Whom It May Concern - I am writing to highly recommend Savannah for any pet care responsibilities. I have had the pleasure of working with Savannah for the past two years, and during this time, I have been consistently impressed with their dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Savannah has been an invaluable asset to our household, as well as a member of the family. Her two years of experience in pet sitting have equipped them with a deep understanding of various breeds and temperaments. They have consistently demonstrated a keen awareness of each pet's unique needs, ensuring that every animal under their care receives personalized attention and affection. One of Savannah’s standout qualities is their exceptional reliability. Pet owners can trust her to consistently adhere to feeding schedules, administer medications when necessary, and provide a safe and nurturing environment for the pets. Savannah has also shown remarkable problem-solving skills in handling unexpected situations, ensuring the well-being and happiness of the animals in their care. Beyond their technical skills, Savannah has a natural ability to connect with animals on a personal level. Their genuine love for pets is evident in the way they interact with them, fostering a sense of trust and comfort. This not only contributes to the overall well-being of the animals but also provides peace of mind for pet owners who can rest assured that their beloved companions are in capable and caring hands. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Savannah for any pet care position. Their professionalism, reliability, and genuine passion for animals make them an outstanding candidate. If you have any further questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Diana Ing”

“Amanda is rad- Jinx got just what he needed and is a happy little dude. I can almost always tell when he’s had a good time or not and he’s thoroughly stoked after his time with Amanda. You can tell she’s comfortable and responsible with dogs. I’m grateful for her flexibility and worked with me to book a walk on the same day- she truly did me a solid! I trust her to apply the same care as I do for my dog, and will absolutely book with her again!”

About: Dogs see something within us that we ourselves cannot. While I would be curious to know exactly what that is, I must admit that their cute expressions, deep & knowing eyes, and their Big Little personalities steal my heart every time. Growing up we had a pack of tiny to medium sized dogs and two cats. The tiniest thought he ran the roost, the two middle sized were complete opposites (one sad & mopey, the other a constantly energetic Houdini) and the largest played the Mother role to a tee and was my hiking buddy. Of the cats, one was a lover: always purring and giving kisses, and she LOVED ice cream. The other was his own man and was hardly ever seen except when food was served. Sadly, they have all passed on, and I miss their snuggles, playtimes and walks. Currently, we cannot have pets as our apartment does not allow them, but I am so thankful for the Pup Friends I have made through my clients. I own my own floral design and seasonal decor business, which I started in 2022 after 15 years in the industry. My schedule is currently very flexible. Each and every pet is different. Let me know what they require, and I'll take it from there: What order do they need to be Let-out/Fed/Walked? Playtime: whats their favorite toy/game? How long is their walk? Will they need to be carried for that last half of the walk? You are their parent, you know them best!

“Cynthia has done a wonderful job walking our dog every day for two weeks! She is great with our energetic dog. She has been very punctual, responsible and helpful!!”
19. Kasey O.
“Kasey provided exceptional care for Ollie, who is a high attention needing doggo. She has a genuine love for animals that shines through and she is also very patient. Ollie loves to play and has lots of energy. Kasey not only rose to the occasion but was enthusiastic about watching him. She provides a very safe and caring environment and is also outstanding about pictures, updates and communication. Her dedication and passion for animals truly sets her apart from other sitters.”
20. Jennifer r.
“Jenny is amazing with my dogs. They love her so much and are always excited to see her. She has taken care of them numerous times when we have traveled and we would trust her again and again!”
