7. Brooke D.
“Brook was absolutely fantastic as a dog walker for us. Her professionalism, experience and caring showed through. While on a walk our dog was bit by an escaped dog. It was random and Brook could have done nothing to prevent it. When the owner tried to leave with the dog without giving any information, Brook was able to get a photo of the car and the police were able to track down the dog owner and confirm that the dog was not current on its vaccines. Because our dog was current, we didn’t need to take any medical action. This entire time she was working with my elderly parents who were caring for the dog and made sure they understood what happened and made adjustments to her schedule to accommodate some of their needs. She is exactly the type of person you want caring for your pet, levelheaded, kind and dependable.”

“Henry was on time, attentive and took good care of my dog on their 1/2 hour walks. I would definitely recommend Henry for dog walking.”
10. Laura S.
“Laura truly cared for my two dogs like they were her own. She was very attentive to their individual needs and quirks and went out of her way to make them feel comfortable with her. My one dog, Freddie, is fearful of new people and was initially skeptical of Laura. By the end of the week, she was easily his favorite human! It is a huge relief knowing your critters are well taken care of and well loved when you're away. She sent us regular photos and updates and was wonderful all around. Highly recommend!”
11. Kirsten R.
“Kirsten is very personable and loves our dog like its her own. She sends pictures of our dog many times during her time and our dog is always happy. When come home the house is tidy and neat. Our dog has fresh water and a bowl of food. And no potty accidents. I would recommend Kirsten to pet sit on the days I don't need her:)”

About: My 2.5 year old labradoodle is full of energy & curiosity. I’m down for long walks and lazy couch days with your pup! Excited to meet you both.
