I highly recommend Cassandra to anyone in need of a reliable, compassionate, and patient dog walker. Thank you for the wonderful service! We really appreciate you. 💚”
2. Stephanie A.
“Stephanie has been so great with my dog Maya. After starting a new job and moving to a new city, I didn’t have any support to help with my dog. Stephanie has been so helpful with all these changes. Maya can be a bit nervous around new people but she warmed up to Stephanie really fast and gets so excited to see her! Stephanie is so great- she is a very reliable person, trustworthy, a great communicator and great with dogs. I’m so happy I found her and that Maya really enjoys her company!”
3. Sun S.
“We've got an energetic, super smart pup who is still working through some reactivity. Sun has been a huge help by not only giving him some love during our work day, but continuing the training we've been working so hard at. Grateful to her for all the care and attention she's given him and the peace of mind we have knowing he's safe and sound in her capable hands.”

6. Jennifer & Jordan L.
“Jennifer was lovely, attentive, and a great communicator. We just adopted our dog and he has little bursts of aggression and Jennifer was kind enough to come by before their first walk to test the waters. Everything turned out great and Jennifer sent updates and pictures throughout his walks. We will definitely work with her again.”
7. Jonathan & Chiel R.

11. Kaitlyn D.
“Kaitlyn is always at her best when she’s got dogs in her life. She understands the importance of the love and care that is needed to ensure they feel safe around her and the environment they are walking in. She is a disciplined walker that can be flexible to any sort of walk/care routine having had experience with both active and senior pets. She is responsible, attentive to details, and is a great communicator. Her customer service background allows her to adapt to the style of communication that you deem necessary. Most importantly, Kaitlyn is passionate about dogs; she loved them with all of her heart, and I think dogs sense that and love her back.”
12. Kimberly H.
“They help me with my pets frequently. They are great with animals. My pets love them and look forward to seeing them. I’ve always appreciated their ability to sense my animals needs.”
13. Micah S.
“Micah loves all animals so much! She especially loves dogs. Her dog Sugar is spoiled with attention and care. Sugar is a HIGH energy Wheaten Terrier and Micah has such patience with her. Micah also helped take care of my elderly mother’s dog. Her name was Babe and she was 15yrs-old with hip and vision issues. Micah would babysit her often until Babe passed on this year. I would trust Micah with any animal!”
14. Sofia D.
“Sofia is the absolute best! She is so helpful, communicative, caring, kind, and accommodating. Not only does she care about your pup, she cares about you & that you feel comfortable as well. Such a great human and my favorite dog walker / friend to Forrest. 10/10 recommend!”
15. Joshua S.
“Joshua stepped up to save the day when we moved to town and needed a reliable dog walker! He’s extremely flexible, great with my pups (and always spares an extra cuddle for my cat too!), and gives awesome updates via the Rover cards. I can already tell he’s gotten a feel for their personalities and they’re quick to show me their new favorite walking routes that Joshua takes them on. We feel very lucky to have found him!”
16. Zihir T.
“Zihir is super awesome and goes above and beyond to take care of my dog. I am very happy with dog walking and appreciate the flexibility and reliability.”
17. John M.
“John was fantastic at taking out our dog who is reactive to other dogs and using positive reinforcement to manage her reactivity. Thank you Johnny!”
18. Priscilla L.
“Priscilla has been walking my pup for about two months now. She has some anxiety issues and hasn’t beeen warming up to dog walkers as she’s getting older. But this has changed with Priscilla. Sunny just adores her and it really gives me peace of mind while I’m at work. We’re so lucky to have her 🐾💕”
19. Willow M.
“We love Willow! She took such great care of our dog while we were in town on work. We will absolutely use her again when we find ourselves back in the area 💜”
20. Amber T.
“Amber is an exceptional petsitter! My two senior kitties, Spike and Mango, fell in love love with her immediately. Amber has a natural calm and kind energy and my kitties just wanted to snuggle with her. She’s a responsible caretaker, reliable, and punctual. Amber fed them and gave them their medications on time, she cleaned up after them and kept our house maintained, and she was on the dot with feeding them breakfast and dinner. Amber’s care is above and beyond. If you want an amazing pet lover to care for your pets, then please reach out to Amber. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
