Mathew and Christianna are the ultimate husband-and-wife dream team! They are incredibly accommodating and genuinely eager to help with whatever we need. Genie always gets a solid, brisk walk and comes home feeling happy and content. The best part is how thrilled Genie is to see them when they arrive—you can tell they share a real, genuine connection. Highly recommend!

Hannah managed my dog and the dog I’m currently fostering like a pro! I got extensive details about their walks, and came home to two very happy, well cared for boys at the end of my trip!

Sure! Here’s a heartfelt review you can use for Helene: Helene has been an absolutely amazing dog walker for my stubborn pup, Luna! She is incredibly patient, kind, and truly understands Luna’s needs. It’s clear she loves what she does, and her gentle approach has made such a difference in Luna’s confidence and happiness. I always feel at ease knowing Luna is in such great hands. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker, I can’t recommend Helene enough!

Alina really helped me in a pinch, visiting from out of town but needing dog walks while here. She was communicative, responsive, punctual and, best of all, she clearly loves dogs & walking! My little guy was always happy to see her and walk with her.

Cheryl and Elmar took such great care of our dog Peanut! They were even able to accommodate us when we needed emergency doggy care on short notice after our flights were canceled - we are so grateful! Peanut also had so much fun on his walks with them, he was so excited and waited by the door for them! Highly highly recommend!

About: I am a 23 year-old dogsitter and dogwalker that has been working with dogs for a third of my life (8 years). I was always surrounded by dogs growing up and would love to keep it that way :) I walk Figo every day - Labradoodle pictured in my photos :) And dogsit Jesse - Boston Terrier occasionally on weekends. Dogsitting and catsitting is extremely mixed into my schedule and I am always looking for more opportunities! When dogsitting, I am always hanging out with the dog. I walk them a little extra sometimes. And will play with them as much as their heart desires :)

About: I’ve always been an animal person! Growing up surrounded by pets, I’ve had the joy of caring for everything from tiny critters to big, lovable dogs. I’ve also volunteered at veterinary clinics and animal shelters, making sure every animal I meet feels safe, cared for, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or just keeping them comfortable, I treat every pet like family. As a nursing student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care. I’m physically active and love staying on the move, which makes walks and playtime even more enjoyable. I’m available for walks two days a week and on weekends, and I’ll always make sure your pets get the exercise and attention they need I’ll come to pick up your dog and take them for a walk around your neighborhood or the nearest park—whichever you prefer. Walks can be as long as you’d like, and I’ll make sure to keep things safe and enjoyable using proper walking practices. After the walk, I’m happy to spend extra time playing and giving your pup attention. I’ll only provide treats if you’re comfortable with it, so your dog’s routine and health always come first.

We had a fantastic experience with Peter! He was incredibly easy to work with and responded right away, even on short notice. Although we didn’t meet in person, we felt completely at ease thanks to clear communication and the videos we sent him in advance. Peter went above and beyond by sharing lots of great photos of our dog, Captain, during their time together—which really put our minds at ease. Captain absolutely loved him, and it showed! We’re so grateful for Peter’s care and look forward to booking with him again in the future. Highly recommend!

About: Lifelong animal lover with experience from pups, kittens to senior dogs and even more recently deaf pets. Was raised with cats, dogs, and even reptiles. Pet care fits naturally into my life. Recently lost my 13yr old senior frenchie. I do work full-time weekdays but am available for evening feedings, walks, and weekend care. My 12 yr old son may be with me many times as this is also his passion. Whether in my home or yours, your pet’s comfort and safety come first. In my home, while space is modest, I offer a clean, cozy environment with a secure fenced-in yard for play and potty breaks. I'm attentive and patient. I also have a 12 yr old son who can keep your pet active if needed. My son actively entertained our frenchie and provided those extra special hugs. There will always be room for love and play. In your home, I follow your pet's routine closely to keep them calm and happy while you're away.

About: Taco is my first dog I’ve ever had, I gotten him from my tio who rescues dogs off the street, I had taco since he was a baby, it was hard at first to learn to train him, but I did it, taco was always there for me and I was always there for him, I love my dog, I would fight for him, love him and just about anything, I even take care of my sisters dog, a golden doodle named sophi, she was alot to learn about with her being a big dog but I’ve also trained her as well. At this current time I am really free most weekdays and weekends, I would need a heads up just in case, but other wise I’m good to go. I’ll take notes of how you want things, they are your baby and my responsibility, I will take care of them like my own, what you say goes, I’ll walk them, pick up after them, make sure they get food, water, treats, all the head pats, tummy rubs, all the loving and care needed.

Amerasia was prompt and friendly. Since it was her first visit with Sonny he took a little time to warm up but when he did he laid on her feet and smiled up at her. She's an adept and sympathetic sitter. I look forward to using her again.
