4. Ashley M.

“She’s amazing! She’s very friendly and very gentle with dogs, she even let me schedule on the last last minute and I’m truly happy I did with her! My dog was very happy and tired after he walked with her, she’s good communicating and overall I would book a service again in the future with her! Thank you so much, Ashley! 🫶🏻”

“Katrin was fantastic. Punctual, flexible, did exactly what we asked of her, including giving morning vitamins, took him on great walks, and sent pictures that made my daughter happy. Will definitely use again, without question.”


6. John D.

“John is great! You can tell right away he really loves dogs. He often walks Pearl a few minutes extra because “it’s such a nice day.” He is always on time and sends pictures and videos during the walk with Pearl. I highly recommend him!”


7. Sadie M.
“Sadie is so sweet and attentive with our dogs, and they absolutely love her. She’s really great about making sure the dogs are engaged and active, so I feel comfortable being away knowing she’s there. Sadie is very reliable and I completely recommend her.”


8. Josie & Pierce S.

“So nice meeting and letting my dog play around your back yard. Looking forward to having my boi stay with you while I’m out of town.”


9. Nick E.
“Nick might be our cat Johnny’s favorite person in the world. Johnny is always excited when Nick is pet sitting for a long weekend and we are so grateful that Nick takes time to look after our little guy. He really goes the extra mile to play and socialize with him. Excellent communicator. I would recommend Nick to any pet parent”


10. Rasheed L.

“This is the first time we used Rasheed. He was very communicative before the walk and prompt for the walk. The dogs took to him easily and he was very comfortable with my large dogs. He was accomodating in the manner I requested that the dogs be walked, including in the humid slightly rainy weather. We look forward to booking him again in the future.”


11. Tamar M.

“Tamar is THE BEST dog walker we’ve hired. She is a dog whisperer! Our guy is usually pretty shy, but he warmed up to her right away and was whining excitedly as she walked toward the front door for her first walk with him. Tamar is communicative, punctual and friendly. Definitely hire her; you won’t be disappointed.”


12. Ava R.
“Ava is so kind and responsible! She takes such good care of her own pets and treats my pets like her own. I can always rely on her, and pets absolutely adore her!”


13. Hiroko E.
About: I have worked at animal hospital for 6 years to be involved in treatment of dogs and cats after that, worked at veterinary University as researcher for four years. I'm currently working full time on weekdays, but my job is flexible. I am also happy to take care of dogs and cats on weekend and have your pet at our house over weekend. I can have a small dog at our house and take care of any dogs and cats at your house. My house has only one hamster that stay inside the cage, therefore there is no chance for your pet to interfere with other animals. Around our house, there is no busy traffic, therefore we can take dogs a walk safety.


14. Sue C.

“Sue is an exceptional pet carer. She really went above and beyond when she noticed that my chicken was being attacked by my dog. She managed to get my chickens to safety and my dog safely back inside with no harm done to either. I highly recommend her. She has incredible communication skills and is extremely responsible.”


15. Riley A.
“It is so nice to know someone will care for my pet as much or more than me. Riley doesn’t just pet sit she actually spends time with them playing and making them comfortable and stress free while we are away. I strongly recommend Riley if you want peace of mind while away from your little or big fury friend. Brantly A”


16. Judie M.
“Judie took amazing care of my dog, Bennie. He is an older dog and requires special medicine multiple times a day and special care instructions. Judie not only did all of that, but went above and beyond by keeping me updated on him and sharing lots of pictures. My dog is my whole world and I felt nothing but comfortable leaving him in Judie’s hands. I have used her multiple times since and I have the same experience every time! Judie is the best and I would recommend her to anyone!”


17. Julia B.
“Julia is one of the most trustworthy, compassionate people I know. As a young professional, I know a lot of people who have dogs or recently got a dog and didn't realize the responsibility it entailed; but with Julia, her pug Greg is her number one priority. She's truly a great dog mom. I'd trust her with my feline, canine, or human babies! In fact, my Maltese, Lily still misses Julia! ”


18. Brandon R.
“Brandon is one of the most reliable and trustworthy people I know. He is very thorough and responsible and you can count on him in any situation. He has a great way with dogs and even anxious pups seem to respond well to his calm and patient energy. If you are searching for someone deserving of the opportunity to care for your dog and/or home, you can be confident Brandon is the best and your pup will be safe and cared for.”


19. Kara S.

“Kara was awesome. Everything went smoothly. Thank you!”




20. Heather Hbo O.
“Heather has watched my pets (dog and guinea pigs) and I trust her 100%. As an owner if a large dog herself, as well as a runner, she is uniquely qualified to both "watch" your dog and "run" your dog! No dog is too big or small for her! She is loving, attentive and consistent with her care. She is professional and fun-loving. She is always my first choice!!”
