1. Bradley M.

“Bradley was a true lifesaver, stepping in and walking my 84lb Goldendoodle 2x a day for 6 days. I broke my dominate arm and needless to say, quite helpless. Bradley is the consummate professional, always on time, documenting every walk with a photo and summary. Cookie always looked forward to his arrival and finally, at the age of 13, learned the meaning of a schedule! Dog owners couldn’t find anyone more trustworthy than Bradley.”


2. Lori W.

“Lori has been amazing with Mali! She gives her all of the love and attention we do and you can tell she truly cares about her and even my other animals she sees while she’s visiting Mali! We have all enjoyed her care and attention. Lori is amazing”


3. Amanda S.

5. Michael K.

“Michael has been a great pet sitter for all of our pets, from cats and dogs, to guinea pigs and iguanas-he is great! He is a great communicator and will give your pet the love and care they need, all while keeping you updated on how they are doing. I would highly recommend Michael!”

“The best!”


9. Sara L.
“Sara is a wonderful pet owner & has the biggest heart for dogs! As a child, she would walk the neighborhood dogs, free of charge, just so she could spend some time with dogs even though she couldn’t get one of her own. This brief story encapsulates the longtime love and care Sara puts towards pets, dogs especially. She will love and bond with any pup that comes her way!”


10. Autumn P.
“Autumn was an exceptionally devoted and attentive caregiver to your two cats, going above and beyond to ensure their well-being, comfort, and happiness every single day. From the moment she took on the responsibility, she treated them with the same love and care as if they were her own, always making sure they had fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and plenty of playtime. She paid close attention to their individual personalities and needs—whether that meant giving extra cuddles to the more affectionate one or patiently engaging the more reserved cat with gentle toys and quiet companionship. Her ability to notice subtle changes in their behavior or health showed a deep understanding of animal care, and she never hesitated to communicate updates or concerns with you, ensuring peace of mind even when you were away. Autumn’s genuine affection for your cats was clear in everything she did, from keeping their routine consistent to offering them comfort during stressful times like vet visits or thunderstorms. Her presence became a source of stability and joy for them, and it’s clear that her care made a lasting, positive impact on their lives.”


11. Michelle B.

“Lucy loves Michelle! Michelle is professional, and treats Lucy with great care and compassion. She loves our dog as if she were her own. I know I can trust any of my pets with Michelle. She has so much great experience and she really knows how to care for animals. ❤️ She’s the best walker/sitter we’ve ever had!”


12. Katie H.

“Katie was great! On time, every time and easy to communicate with. She took great care with our dog who is recovering from surgery and kept up with our puppy. Definitely recommend her!”


13. Nora S.
“There are very few people in the world who love dogs as much as Nora. She has always been incredibly loving toward our own dog and I have no doubts that she will show equal levels of care to any dog she is entrusted with. Dogs provide immense value and joy to Nora and she will provide the same value and joy to the dogs she cares for.”


14. Rebecca & Ethan K.

“I felt very comfortable leaving my doggie in their hands. They are very kind and responsive.”


15. Rebecca T.

“Rebecca was really attentive and loving towards my pet! Along with being so loving towards my puppy, she helped reinforce some training/commands. I will be booking again”


16. Haley H.


“Haley was on time and my pup came back happily tired. She handled his big puppy excitement well getting him to calm down very quickly. Will definitely book again!”


17. Julia P.
“Julia is the true definition of a pet lover. She is very responsible, caring, attentive and the best pet sitter you will find. She has a dog, has taken care of cats, gerbils, fish, lizards and birds. Often waking up wee hours before school (last year before college) to make sure they were fed, walked and loved. Your pet will be in great care with Julia!”


18. Karoline H.

“We reached out to Karoline for reoccurring dog walks and they are simply wonderful. They are responsive, personable, kind, flexible and trustworthy. Our pup was immediately comfortable with Karoline the moment they walked through the door. They are working with Zoe to be less distracted by squirrels and critters on their walks and we also receive updates and adorable photos after their adventures. They are one of the most patience and punctual humans you will meet ... I highly recommend Karoline, and trust her completely with our fur baby.”


19. Emma M.
About: Hi! My name is Emma. I’m 31 years old. I have had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember. Recently, my 15 year old puppy, Rufus, passed away unexpectedly. I miss being a dog mom and I’m hoping this will fill those voids! I treat every animal as my own, big or small. I have many many years of taking care of different types of breeds & im willing to learn about more! I currently work for myself doing instacart. I’m out and about all day. I have all the time in the world to come take care of your babies! As always, your pets will be treated as if they were my own. If caged; I will make sure they have the items they need in and out, otherwise, your babies will roam freely around my house. I do have a single level home with a smaller backyard but we have a dog park just down the street from us!


20. Stephanie J.
“I have known Stephanie for many years, and she has always been an animal lover. She has owned numerous dogs and cats, and the affection she shows them--and that they show her--is as impressive as it is heart-warming. She is an excellent animal caregiver, and I have no doubt that she can be a great pet-sitter and/or dog-walker for you.”
