1. Tanze A.
“Tanze was excellent! She walked our pup while I was out-of-town. She took photos every walk and always had a funny story to share about how it went. Five stars all around.”
2. Shelly M.
“Shelly was available right away to walk my dog while I was stuck at work. She responded quickly to me and took care of my dog really well. I highly recommend Shelly!”
3. Zsa-Zsa R.
“Zsa-zsa is phenomenal and did a great job caring for my old dog while I was out of town. She is communicative and kind and clearly has a way with the four-legged among us. She'll be our go-to-gal from here on out!”
4. Shanley J.
“Shanley was great with both our dogs and even adjusted her schedule to take them on earlier walks when a heat wave came in the middle of our trip. We so appreciated her flexibility and her concern for our doggos’ well-being!”
5. Cassandra L.
“Casssandra has been the best dog walker!! She is very kind, communicative, and easy to work with. My dog absolutely loves her and gets so excited every time he goes on a walk. I definitely recommend Cassandra as a safe and trusted walker.”
6. Valerie C.
“Valerie is the best! She is extremely professional, reliable and communicative, and takes care of our dog as if he were her own. She goes above and beyond, providing so much love, care and socialization for our little guy on his daily walks. So glad we found her!”
7. Danielle M.
“Danielle is great! She did a fantastic job with our playful furball, Mostly (Momo). We booked a daycare and a few walks with her (when we were away on vacation). Both bookings went smoothly. Danielle was attentive to Momo during the walks and reported back on how he did. She sends constant updates, so I never have to worry. Danielle also agreed to change the walk timing on short notice because it was too hot outside. I truly appreciated her flexibility and prioritizing our dog's health. I cannot thank Danielle enough for her love and care for our Momo. We plan to continue booking with Danielle (for daycare & walks).”
8. Irina B.
“We are so happy to have Irina walk our two corgis now that I’m returning to an office a few days each week. I think I probably had more separation anxiety than the pups, but it’s comforting knowing they get a visit with Irina and burn off some energy. We love the photos and card updates. Looking forward to many more walks!”
9. Veronica F.
About: I’ve owned 5 dogs total, 4 of which were rescues. I’ve also participated in puppy academy classes, so I am pretty knowledgeable on most dogs and temperaments. I really love getting to know every dog individually, and I love caring for them! I’m usually free on Tuesdays/Thursdays/Fridays/Saturdays. My availability is pretty flexible, so let me know what times you need and I can usually accommodate any availability. I personally own a very small maltipoo, and he’s very comfortable in my one bedroom home with a yard. I never let my dog off of his leash in public because safety is a big priority to me. I respect whatever lifestyle you choose for your dog. I know a lot of people have different views on how to raise a dog, so I respect boundaries and will treat your dog as you instruct me to.
10. Sandra A.
“Sarah was great! Listened to our directions and ensured our safety while walking for us while we were out of the house. She was patient and gave Scout the time she needed to warm up to her. Prompt communication and gave us updates on her walks. Would recommend!”
11. Mae Hwee T.
“Mae Hwee is fantastic - they communicated regularly and asked a lot of clarifying questions when we first met, which assured me my pup was in good hands!”
12. Ainsley C.
About: I’ve always loved animals, for their big hearts and one of a kind personality traits. My family had a Rottweiler when I was a child and she always felt like the little sister I never had. My hours are flexible so I’m open to meeting your requirements to watch over your pet. I currently don’t have any pets at the moment, so having the opportunity to cuddle up & spend some time making a new furry friend would be a treat. Overall, I’m very passionate when it comes to the safety & well-being of your pets, so I look forward to providing I am currently a freelance filmmaker, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m available for boarding on the weekdays after 2pm and Saturdays from 10am-4pm I'd love to know more about your furry friends personality traits, or any activities that they enjoy to ensure that they feel as comfortable as possible. Also curious, if your pet has any specific needs as in their diet, limitations or routines that i should be aware of; Lastly, it would be helpful knowing if there are any triggers or quirks your pet may have that I should be mindful of.
13. Michelle C.
“Michelle and Morgan are the best! They are very accommodating to my busy schedule. Sammie adores them! She was exhausted from all the adventures! They sent wonderful pictures to me and it truly was a vacation for my Sammie girl! ”
14. Marya S.
“Marya includes Anana in the big dog walks and she loves it. She is off leash and her joy is evident in the videos. Anana is so much happier now that she gets the longer walks. Marya is the best ever!!!!”
15. Dalma G.
“Dalma was great with our dog who is high energy. He immediately took to her. She asked great questions and seemed confident handling a high energy dog.”
16. Rachel G.
“Rachel is a total animal lover and is so sweet, sensitive, and devoted to dogs. They fill her heart with happiness and she cares so much about being there for them. She had her own dog for 14 years and the bond they shared was unlike anything. She knows how much it means to leave them in trusted care. She loved and took care of her dog with so much heart, dedication, and joy. Rachel is responsible, reliable, and loving. She values connection with humans and animals alike and anyone would be lucky to get to have her support them.”
