Colleen did an amazing job with Louie while we were gone. There was excellent communication, and she left several great pics each day. I would love to have her watch Louie again in the future:).

About: Hi! I’m Elli, a college student with a lifelong passion for dogs. From my earliest memories, I’ve had the privilege of growing up alongside these wonderful companions. They’ve filled my life with joy, but also taught me valuable lessons about responsibility and commitment, which I carry with me into every walking session. One of the driving forces behind my passion for dog walking is that I miss my own dogs at home. While I can’t be with them all the time due to being at college, I find immense joy in connecting with other dogs and offering them the same love and care I provide my own. I’ve been lucky enough to care for a variety of dogs, each with their own unique personalities and needs. From high-energy playtime to leisurely strolls, my goal is to meet your dog’s individual preferences and ensure they enjoy their walk to the fullest! I’m currently a student at Stanford but my schedule is highly flexible and I have plenty of free time to play with your pup. Feel free to reach out about my availability! Safety is my utmost priority when it comes to looking after your beloved dog. I’ll make sure to keep them securely leashed and in close proximity at all times. Additionally, I will take pictures, which I will share with you to keep you connected to your furry friend throughout our time together!

Caroline has cared for my dog Teddy on multiple occasions. He loves spending time with her because of all the outdoor exercise, they always go on lots of long walks and he’s exhausted when I come to pick him up! I will definitely rebook Caroline in the future.

We booked Caitlin last minute before we left town for the holidays and she was great! She kept us posted on how our princess was doing, followed all our instructions for looking after her, and left the place clean. I forgot to update my address on Rover and she was quick to reach out and so kind about going to our new place once I realized the mistake. She was reliable and my Muesli seemed to take an instant liking to her - I couldn't have asked for more. I'd hire her again without a doubt!

Rebecca is absolutely amazing! She goes above and beyond and is always on time. She is so patient and kind with my two schnauzers (~17lbs and ~47lbs). I have a very hard time trusting anyone with my dogs but Rebecca made me feel so much at ease and I trust her completely. I am so thankful for Rebecca and have nothing but amazing things to say about her!

John has been an incredible dog uncle to my puppy, Wednesday, this year! John’s been a life saver when I an busy and I always trust that him and Wednesday will have a good time bouncing around town. I’ve also known John for over 6 years and can say that he’s 100% reliable and considerate. I’d trust him with your pet! P.S Wednesday chose John 3/3 times when we had her in the middle of a circle of friends and all called out to her.
