2. Cristina C.
“Cristina was great with our pup, flexible with our changing plans and offered to help us out for a last minute request on a holiday weekend. Absolutely wonderful!”
3. Erica G.
“This was our first time using Erica. She was great. She arrived within our pre set time frame, took Baxter on a good walk and played with him at home before leaving. I got cute pictures and he was happy and tired when we got home. She’s already been rebooked.”
4. Rosella C.
“Rosella has walked my dog for over 2 years now. She is always loving and gentle with my yorkie. Her love for animals is prevalent when she shows up each day with loving arms and my dog runs to her with her tail wagging! She makes sure she has water for my dog on her walks and always picks up after her as well. She is clean and attentive as well as punctual. I’m so glad to have found such a wonderful dog walker for my fur baby!! - Rose”

6. Jenny P.
“Jenny has been absolutely wonderful walking my puppy weekly, who requires some extra patience and care! She is timely, friendly, and goes above and beyond. I would highly recommend her!”
7. Cathy W.
“Cathy is incredible! Right from the start, she offered to come meet my dog ahead of time and as soon as she walked in I knew she would be a great fit. She took the time to play with him, pet him, and let him get to know her. As a result, when she arrived to pick him up for his walk, he was happy to see her! This extra care to getting to know my dog (and letting him get to know her!) is so appreciated - especially since I have had other walkers give up on him. I would recommend Cathy to anyone who is looking for a caring and compassionate sitter or walker.”
8. Christina B.
“Christina is a fantastic pet sitter. She is reliable and pays close attention to detail to the needs of the pets she looks after. Christina is well organized and is fantastic with communication and checking in when needed. She is compassionate and understanding of specifics needs of the owners and their pets. I would highly recommend Christina for your pet caregiver.”
9. Dain M.
“Dain has taken care of my dog, Dany, during weekends and I can always trust her to keep an eye on her! Dany can be uncertain around new people and Dain was always cautious of this on her walks with Dany, and she knew how to read my dog to see her comfort levels. She was great and gave updates while I was away, would highly recommend!”
10. Sandra E.
“I’ve known Sandra for 40-years, and nobody cares for animals like Sandra. Sandra’s mission in life is to make the world a better place for animals, especially cats and dogs. When you see a well-fed feral cat in her neighborhood, thank Sandy, because not only does she take care of indoor pets, she feeds and cares for the homeless souls who roam the streets. If Sandy owned a mansion, she’d have colonies lounging and playing in her home. I trust my babies with Sandy, and they love her, too!”
11. Michele & Tom M.
“Michele enjoys caring for and spending time with animals. She loves taking dogs for walks, for them to get fresh air and burn off energy.”
12. Emily B.
“Emily always does a wonderful job! She takes my 100 pound German Shepherd for walks with no complaints; and I know he can be a puller! She always shows up for her time with Atlas and makes sure he gets plenty of exercise while she’s here. Seeing the pictures of him while at work, puts my mind at ease. Atlas and I are so lucky to have Emily’s help!”
13. Maria W.
“We love working with Maria. We are new dog owners and just got a puppy and were overwhelmed with the adjustment, but Maria right away trained him with a few commands which helped us at home tremendously. Our dog loves Maria. And we totally recommend her!”
14. Mariela B.
“I just wanted to give a big thanks to Mariela for the awesome job today with my pup! 🐾 Nina came back so happy and tired, which is always a sign of a good walk. Mariela was punctual, friendly, and clearly has a great way with dogs. I really appreciate the updates and photos during the walk—it made me feel so reassured. Highly recommend Mariela to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. Thanks again! 😊”

“Maria has been pet sitting for me for over a year now. I have two cats, Imogene and Charlotte, also a dog, Max, who absolutely love her. She is the best pet sitter I've ever had! She is reliable, professional, respectful and caring. She takes the time to get to know your pet's individual needs and personality, always going above and beyond to make sure they are happy and comfortable. I recently had to go out of town for a week, and I was nervous about leaving my pets alone. But Maria put my mind at ease. She sent me daily updates and photos of my pets, and she even took my dog, Max, on extra walks and played with him. When I came home, my pets were so happy and relaxed. It was clear that they had been well-cared for. I am so grateful to Maria for taking such good care of my fur babies. I can’t thank her enough!
