“We have two mini dachshunds and Maeghan did a great job. We had her come in to walk our dogs one hour each day while we were on vacation. She showed up one time and adjusted for outdoor temperatures and dog attitude about walking. She sent pictures daily with a message, which made our vacation more relaxing as we could see they were in good hands. We will definitely hire her again.”
“Vinnie is a joy to work with. Very responsible and on top of the schedule and details. Very flexible when our days need to shift. And, our two medium sized doggos do great on their walk and playtime in the yard!”
“Sara was amazing! On absolute short notice she swooped in, moved her schedule around and took great care of our pups when walking them. She was quick to respond, diligent in her communications with us and sent pictures of our fur babies everyday. Did I mention this was the very first time we used her?? On short (really short) notice! We are so grateful for her and will certainly he using her from now on. Thank you Sara!!”

“Sophie is awesome! She was quick to get back to me when I needed a last minutes walker. She kept me updated, took lots of photos, and gave a very detailed report. She definitely went the extra mile to make sure my dog was well cared for. Would definitely recommend her!”

Walked and dog-sitted for neighbors as a summer side job for years, and still periodically take care of my parents' lovely (and sassy) English Bulldog, Dolley.

I live with my fellow dog loving fiancé - a teacher home for the summer - so your pet will never be short of the attention they deserve.
“Shauna is great! She walks our (very energetic) dog weekly. She is responsive, flexible and always on time. Our dog (Kyla) is skid-dish with new people but she warmed up to Shauna very quickly and is always excited to see her. Kyla comes back from her walks happy and tired - well worth it!”
“Just wanted to do a new update on my review with Delaney. She has been walking my dogs for almost 3 years now. She is still wonderful with them, very dependable, and very trusted. I have been lucky to have her since I moved to Virginia from Florida and my dogs love her so much too!! It’s definitely hard to find someone to trust with my dogs and having access to my home even when I’m not around but she is definitely the best and most trustworthy person I have had!”

Sophie has been absolutely amazing with my dog! My pup is pretty anxious around new people, but Sophie was so patient and gentle, and it’s clear she really understands animals. Thanks to her calm and consistent approach, my dog quickly warmed up to her and now gets so excited for their walks. Sophie is always on time, super reliable, and clearly loves both dogs and cats. I feel so lucky to have found her—highly recommend to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely caring sitter!
There is not enough that I can say about Annika! She is so responsive and so wonderful with Carter. He is 13 years old and every time I have to leave him, I have extreme anxiety but Annika is not only amazing with Carter, she is wonderful with me too! She takes lots of pictures, always stays to hang out with him after his walk and gives him treats. She is so easy to work with and I have so much peace of mind when I am away because I know that she takes such good care of him! Thank you Annika!!

Michele is fantastic! She took such great care of our Leo boy! She was great about sending updates, pictures and videos. Her communication was amazing. You can tell she truly loves what she does and cares for the animals. I highly recommend Michele and will be reaching out again when we need care.
Carole was great! Arrived on time, my dog was excited to see her and they had a good wander around the neighborhood. She took time with him during the meet and greet to get to know him as he can be anxious. All went well. Plan to book reoccurring walks with Carole!
