1. Ramajana D.

“Ramajana is fantastic! I was nervous having someone walk my dog for the first time but she is very kind, really easy to communicate with, and gave me updates on how it went. I’m looking forward to having her walk my dog on a weekly basis!”


2. Miriam B.

“Miriam is awesome!! She does regular walks for my dog Sunny and is always super communicative and on time. Sunny loves her too and is so excited to get out every day with her. Will keep working with her and I highly recommend!”

“Great communication”


4. Parker H.

“Parker was great with Hank! Showed up every day on time and the entire process was seamless so I never had to worry. I’ll definitely be using Parker for future walks and I highly recommend to other owners. Thanks Parker!”


5. Sofia Q.
“I am so excited to share a few words about Sofia. I can say with absolute confidence that anyone who entrusts their beloved pet to her is making an incredibly wise and wonderful choice. Sofia is one of the kindest, most genuine people I know. Her love for animals is both deep and natural—she has a calming, joyful presence that animals instantly respond to. Whether it’s a playful pup full of energy or a more reserved, shy dog who needs a little extra care, Sofia meets every animal exactly where they are, with patience and compassion. She’s also incredibly hardworking, responsible, and reliable—qualities that truly set her apart. She shows up on time, every time, and pays close attention to every detail, from walk preferences to feeding routines. Your dog won’t just be walked—they’ll be truly cared for, in the hands of someone who genuinely loves what she does. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, go above and beyond to ensure they’re safe, happy, and well-loved, Sofia is the one. I can’t recommend her highly enough—you (and your pup!) will be so glad you found her.”

7. Giovanna P.

“Penelope had a great time with Giovanna and Ciao. They entertained her and gave her lots of exercise while I had an injury that prevented me from doing too much. I would definitely reach out to them in the future if I ever need a walker again.”


8. Kirren R.


“Kirren was great and super communicative! She sent pictures throughout her day with Sully and took great care of him! Will definitely be booking with her again.”


9. Miriam "Lucero" R.
“Miriam has been simply wonderful with my little girls Hanna and Layla, I knew it from the first time because Layla was happy to see her again and Hanna who is more withdrawn was also happy and both wanted to go out with Miriam. She fed, protected, and walked my little dogs, she even knew what to do when a storm came and Hanna was very nervous. I don't hesitate to ask for Miriam's help if I have to travel or am in something where I can't take my babies. Thank you Miriam! Blanca D”


10. Anna T.

“My little guy came back happy! Thanks Anna!”


11. Jeremy P.

“Jeremy is a great Rover walker. It’s so hot outside that we needed to bump back the time of the walks and just mostly play indoors and he is very accommodating. Our dog loves seeing him each day!”


12. Hannah L.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. I’m 29 now. I have experience with pets that have special needs and I am CPR and First Aid certified. I’ve had my own cat for over 5 years now. At this moment, I am unemployed and have college classes in the morning, so I will most likely be free the rest of the day. Unless I have other commitments at night, which I will make sure to communicate that beforehand. I will follow instructions and send pictures of the pets to their owners constantly to ensure they are safe and okay. If a pet is staying over at my place, I will ensure that it is safe by separating them from my own cat in different rooms.


13. Christian G.

“Christian was prompt, sent photos, gave my pup treats, and showed her a new area that she was so happy with, she showed me when I got home from work. Thank you for caring for Zoe, Christian!”


14. Megan B.
About: I’m an animal lover with 20 years experience dog sitting for dogs of all sizes and ages, and 10 years experience of previous dog ownership with rescues. I’m experienced with many different personality traits and have trained 2 dogs myself. I’m currently in between jobs, so I have fairly open availability on both weekdays and weekends. I’m very active and live across the street from town lake trail, so I can provide ample time on walks. I’m open to sitting/visits at your home or boarding your dogs at my place. I live in an apartment in a dog friendly community close to the trail/river and dog parks. I’m very attentive to dogs needs and personalities. If your dog is allowed to be on the couch/bed at home, they’re welcome on mine. I’m also experienced with dogs that are crate trained, as well as those who have special dietary or mobility needs.


15. Erin K.
“Erin was such a great help with Emmett! She was timely, attentive, and communicative throughout Emmett’s entire stay! I will definitely be using Erin again for any walks and over night stays in the future!!!”


16. Ian W.
“Ian is AMAZING! Nicest guy ever super chill! His dog Misty is such a sweetie pie and super playful! Ian has the biggest yard at Amli Southshore apartments. Him and Misty basically live at the dog park, so your pup will get plenty of play time! Your fur baby is in excellent hands!”


17. Jocelyn M.
“Jocelyn has been a reliable and helpful friend and dog sitter. She took in my dog for a few months when I wasn’t able to take care of him. She made sure to keep me updated and give him all the love for me while he was away. Highly recommend 😊 🐶”




18. Andrew N.


“Andrew was great and my pup was so calm and relaxed after her walk. Andrew also went above and beyond by refilling her water bowl. Will definitely rebook.”


19. Maddie M.

“Maddie was FANTASTIC! Our situation required last minute services and was able to easily communicate with her and work on a schedule that worked! Her detailed communication and pictures made us feel very comfortable with her taking care of our dog! Will definitely be using her again!!”


20. Christina L.

“Great service! Incredibly punctual and great with my boy. Highly recommend 10/10”
