“Omg she is the best !!! I needed a dog walker last minute and she immediately responded and even came the day before I had to leave for a trip to meet my dog and to make sure she knew where his food was etc…. My dog can be sometimes a bit tricky to take care of , but she made sure to spoil him all the time ❤️definitely recommend her !!!!”

Despite not having previous experience administering insulin shots, Grace did extensive research before our meet & greet in order to provide assurance she could perform the duties we required, which she wonderfully fulfilled. She provided thorough updates throughout our time away that assured us that Gia was well cared for and provided extra love.”

“I can't say enough great things about Malchom! We love having him take care of our dog, Juneberry. It is clear that he is a true professional with a deep love for animals. Malchom is always punctual, reliable, and incredibly attentive to Juneberry's needs. Not only does Malchom ensure that Juneberry gets plenty of exercise and mental stimulation during their walks, but he also goes the extra mile to make sure she feels loved and cared for. It’s evident that Malchom has a genuine passion for dogs and is dedicated to providing the best care possible. I feel completely at ease knowing that Juneberry is in such capable hands. I highly recommend Malchom to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”
