4. Natalie M.
“We have two PRETTY crazy pups...One 6 y/o boy shepherd mix and one 6 y/o girl shepherd mix. Natalie is an absolute pup magician! Our dogs not only love her but they get excited when I even say "Natalie's coming today!". She is so good with our two crazy pups and clearly knows how to handle any type of dog, in any environment. She is not just great at her job and clearly a dog expert, she is also an extremely KIND and WONDERFUL person! My wife and I moved into a new home and after meeting Natalie just once, I could tell I could trust her blindly - not just with my pups but my new home! She is an absolutely STELLAR care-taker when it comes to dogs and she handles my two 75+ pound pups at the same time, and makes it look easy. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone 1000x over. We are so lucky to have found Natalie and anyone reading this that lives in the area and also needs a dog walker/care-taker, this is your gal right here! Trust me! She's THE best!”

7. Kyla Y.
“I can’t recommend Kyla enough as a dog walker! I am a reoccurring customer with her. She has been absolutely wonderful with my pup, Luna. Kyla is not only trustworthy but also incredibly attentive to Luna’s needs. After every walk, she makes sure Luna has fresh water and always gives her plenty of love, including pets and belly rubs—Luna’s favorite part! It’s clear Kyla genuinely cares for the dogs she walks, and I always feel at ease knowing Luna is in such great hands. If you’re looking for someone reliable and caring, Kyla is the best choice!”

About: I have had my own dogs for over 10 years. I am experienced with scared and reactive rescues, as well as care free couch potatoes. My priority is learning about a dog and a the “whys” behind their behavior to help understand them. I treat every animal I meet just as they are my own family member ! I am currently working part time, I have plenty of time to care for your pets. My schedule is very flexible and I can work it around your pet’s! I have two dogs at home currently but my schedule is very flexible. I take them all over to the parks in the city and would love to do the same with yours !

About: Skilled dog lover passionate about creating enriching and safe experiences for your dog while in my care! I will treat your dog as my own! My schedule is very flexible to accommodate your dog care needs. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or extenuating circumstances you have! I have a lovely, safe, warm and inviting, dog friendly space with a fenced in yard to offer my doggie guests. My two dogs, Archie the Golden Retriever and Cornelia the Corgi, are very friendly and playful hosts as well! My dogs enjoy regular walks on our safe, low traffic, well lit street at multiple interims a day, and plenty of playtime in our fenced in yard. They have several points of access to fresh water in our home and back yard, access to healthy treats, regular brushing, cuddles and safe toys. This is what you can expect your beloved dog to experience as well when they are in my care. On walks we practice safely waiting for commands before crossing the street, practicing safe etiquette when encountering other dogs on walks, and plenty of positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior.

17. Madeline R.
“Madeline is a very diligent care giver for all animals. She just recently dog sat for our friends two dogs Milo and Moses. Both dogs have different personalities and she found a way to give Milo the entertainment and activity he needed while also tending to Moses' more chill side. I love seeing her so dedicated to the care of these guys, she really shows how much she loves the animals she’s around.”
