1. Alexa P.
“Meera had a great walk with Alexa today! Alexa came to my rescue when, unexpectedly, I wasn’t going to be able to exercise Meera. With almost no notice on my part, she showed up on time, communicated promptly and clearly, and was lovely with my puppers. Meera is now having a much happier day because of Alexa!”


2. Kara C.

“Kara was amazing when I needed a last minute dog walker. She came everyday on time and communicated when she picked Moose up and dropped him off. She even wrote notes about the walk! I could not have found a better/sweeter friend for Moose that week! Thank you Kara!”


3. Jay C.


“I booked Jay the night before I needed him. He had not yet met my dog but had no problem getting acquainted to her last minute. He even sent me a picture, which I loved! Will definitely book again.”


4. Mary J.
“Mary Jeffrey is not just my Daughter in-law, she is a kindred spirit. Mary and I share a love for all animals, pets as well as any wildlife. We have had many adventures together over the years from stopping our vehicle to save dogs from getting run over, to being there for friends and neighbors when they needed a helping hand with their own pets. Mary will go out of her way to ensure not just her own two dogs are well loved and cared for, but also she is there for me anytime I need help in a pinch with mine. I have two dogs and seven cats...all rescues. Mary is an avid hiker so her Husky and Malamute never want for exercise and adventure in the woods. She has had many years of training her own dogs as well as helping with her brother's rescue Husky. Mary is the only person I have ever known who could teach her Husky to not only not kill her Ferrets, but actually befriend them. Mary is one of the most caring and ethical people I have ever known. If you consider pressing her into action walking or taking care of your own beloved dog, you will never be sorry.”


5. Kelly M.
“Kelly is amazing! Her love for all animals (especially dogs) is genuine and unconditional. If you're lucky enough to work with Kelly, you will be happy and so will your pet(s). Kelly seems to have a sense where she knows how my dog feels. Not kidding. Hire her.”


6. Molly D.

“Molly did a great job. Took Olive on long walks, sent pics and made sure my pup got her energy out while I was working. It’s nice to know while I’m working I do t have to worry because my dog is in good hands.”


7. Hannah B.

“Hanna was absolutely fabulous…. 5 Stars all the way”


8. Emily H.

“Emily was prompt and her communication was outstanding. If I am back in the area, I will use her again.”


9. Jasmine H.
About: I've been lucky enough to have been able to help my mom with her business raising and selling dogs. Meaning I've dealt with taking care of pregnant dogs, newborn puppies, sick dogs, and senior dogs. I've also taken care of many different kinds of animals from reptilian to aquatic. My current full time job assisted senior living. I don't have a set schedule, but instead shifts I can choose to pick up. Meaning with proper warning I can puzzle piece my day to make time for your sweet pet. No matter what your pet needs I'm sure I can accommodate them and give them the care they need. And I always have extra supplies if needed. (carrier, food, toys, collars, leashes, ect.)


10. Amber W.
“My ladies had the best time with Amber! She is so loving and kind and adores my pups. I could go out of town and not worry about their safety. The ladies are on a special diet and Amber accommodated every need. Secretly, I was concerned that they would have so much fun that they wouldn't want to come home. I would trust her with my fur family any time. Thanks, Amber for such great care!”

12. Kathryn B.

“Kathryn really got me out of a bind as she was able to walk Maggie twice on short notice. She made sure that I was comfortable with her by taking time to come over and meet the day before. She kept me updated with pictures and I can’t recommend her enough.”


13. Soren W.
“I’ve known Soren for his whole life and he has always had a way with animals. Dogs and cats are drawn to him, and he seems to have an uncanny understanding of what they’re thinking and what their needs are. He’s sensitive and caring and is probably the most empathetic person I have ever met. He has a strong sense of justice and sees animals as people. He will keep your pet safe and happy and loved! —Nicole W.”
