Paul is the best dog walker I’ve ever had. He’s incredibly reliable: he answers messages promptly, is always on time for walks, and as a bonus, is a genuinely kind person. I have a 100lb. dog and Paul is able to walk him without issue, and can even wrangle him into his rain coat! I would trust Paul with caring for any animal. Before he leaves everyday, he fills up the water bowl and has never once forgotten. I truly cannot recommend Paul enough.

Erin was awesome! She came over to meet Gizmo beforehand and wanted to know about the breed, his personality, his routine, it was so clear she truly cares about the pets she cares for! Gizmo loved his walks and playtime with Erin, She’s the best!

Matt is very patient with my senior pup! He’s been walking her for me while I’m out of commission. She wags her tail when she sees him coming and is happy when she gets home!

Emma is a thoughtful, committed and patient dog walker. She communicates with me about each walk and provides detailed information about my dog’s demeanor and activity during it. She’s also good at enforcing our rules and disciplining our dog when he barks too much.

About: I've walked dogs for friends before, and I really enjoy exploring new neighborhoods with canine friends! I also have two cats at home and often feed/scoop for them, so I'm ready for whatever your feline brings my way! :) I have not done much pet sitting yet, but I'd love to get some experience while playing with and caring for your pets. I'm great at following instructions to a T, and your pet will be my top priority when caring for them. I'm currently not working, so I have all day, every day to care for your pets. I can build my personal schedule around your pet's needs. I have two cats and love playing with them or keeping an eye on them while they run around the house. I will, of course, provide the same attention to your pets and make sure they get the safe-keeping they deserve! As for dogs specifically: I walk quite a bit anyway, and adding a pup to my strolls will only encourage me onward.

Thomas has the heart of a gentle giant and my sweet Irish setter is so happy when I get home, which tells me he has taken superb care of her. He's great at getting her to go to the potty, even when she's a little bit stubborn, and she enjoys his pets, brushes and biscuits. He communicates thoughtfully and thoroughly, so it's super easy to work with him. Highly recommend!

Nathan has been walking my dog, Obi, consistently 3 days per week for two weeks and has done a great job! He was patient with my initially skeptical dog and Obi has come to trust him and enjoys their walks! I recommend Nathan's services if you are looking for a dog walker or other support with your dog.

Charlotte was amazing and took good care of our Badger (1yr rat terrier) when she took her for two daily walks while we were out of town. She was very communicative the whole time and sent plenty of photos and gave us any updates. She also took the time to come meet us the week before so she could get acquainted with Badger and our place. I can’t recommend her enough!

Hilary did a great job taking care of Mona while we were away. Communication was excellent, she was reliable, and it was clear Mona was comfortable and happy in her care. Mona is 17 and has a few extra needs, including medication, and Hilary handled everything perfectly. We came home to a happy dog and had complete peace of mind while we were gone. We’d absolutely book with her again.

Our little dogs are like our children so we need to be sure that anyone we entrust their care to is going to treat them with love and kindness. Albedardo does this and then some. Absolutely top class young man, super reliable and flawless communication always keeping us informed of even the tiniest details so that we’re never left wondering how the visit went and how the dogs are doing when we’re not there. Highly recommended!

Ann went above and beyond. Bandit was having an off day and there were several unexpected challenges throughout the visit, but she handled everything with patience, kindness, and professionalism. Rather than rushing him, she took the time to earn his trust and make sure he was comfortable before heading out. Her communication was excellent, despite me being unavailable to answer questions while I was with my trainer, and it was clear she genuinely cared about Bandit’s wellbeing. I’m incredibly appreciative of the extra effort she put in and would gladly book her again.
