“Aaliyah is the best!”
“Holly is a dependable, trustworthy and loving person. I highly recommend her. I know my dog is in great hands when she’s in charge of taking care of him. She’s been working with me for almost a year now and she’s absolutely wonderful. If you need someone that you can trust and depend on to take care of your pet as well as you do, you need to hire Holly.”
“Bo came back from his walk with Shawn happy and exhausted! I appreciated Shawn’s detailed notes about his time with Bo and that he took the time to do Bo’s favorite things with him- play fetch and take a stroll.”
“Amazing!”
“I'm so lucky to have Kamber as Bernie's dog walker! She's always on time and reliable, and she leaves my house neat and tidy. Bernie adores spending time with her and loves when her daughter comes along for extra playtime. Kamber is fantastic at taking care of Bernie. She's super careful and always looks for potential dangers, like other dogs or cars. Plus, she's been helping me train Bernie to be more comfortable around other pups when we're out for walks. I can't say enough good things about Kamber's communication skills. She's excellent at keeping me updated on everything with Bernie and is always on top of scheduling our appointments. I trust her completely and am happy to have her as our dog walker!”
“Michelle did so great with Zephyr! We were so worried about having to leave him alone all day for the first time. He's only 8 months old, so we really needed to break up his alone time. I was so nervous, but Michelle made everything so much better! Zephyr had the best time with her and we are definitely going to have her back!”
“It was our first time having Hanaya help us out and she was upbeat and positive from the beginning. She cared for my two CKCS’s like they were her own. She shows a true love for dogs and her experience with them shows. I highly recommend her!”
“Ashley was great with our dog Stowe! He was super excited when she arrived. She is professional and kept in communication with me. Will be definitely using Ashley again!”
“Stefanie was great with our little pup! He absolutely adored his walks and is looking forward to his next time with Stefanie! She was always prompt and sent us updates that we always laughed at!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was in school—neighbors and friends would often ask for my help and thank me with small tips, which I used to buy school supplies. Over the years, my love for animals grew, and I eventually adopted my own dog, whom I’ve been caring for for the past nine years. I offer flexible availability on weekends at any time of day, which can be especially helpful in case of last-minute needs or emergencies. I kindly ask that you notify me at least three days in advance for any pet-sitting requests. I prioritize caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, as familiar surroundings can help reduce stress. I also enjoy taking them for walks in their neighborhood to keep them active and happy. I would have flexibility on weekends at any time of the day for greater comfort or if an emergency arises. 2 days before let me know about day sitting. Thank you I would care for your pet in the comforts of their space, sometimes it is easier when they recognize the space and additionally take them out for walks in their neighborhood.

“Gabrielle has been absolutely wonderful walking our dogs every week! She is extremely communicative, great with our big dogs, and we completely trust her! Hire her!”
“Alexa is terrific with our sometimes difficult dog. He loved her from the moment he met her! Alexa is extremely conscientious, keeping me updated on her arrival and departure and always checking his food and water before she leaves. And she takes the BEST pictures of their walks!”

“Emily is kind and so friendly, highly recommend”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was little (28 now) and love them so much! Whether it’s feeding or walking or bathing I will be so happy to take care of your best friends. I work from Monday - Friday 8-5PM. I can sit dogs after 5PM on weekdays and any time on weekends, I’m pretty open overall other then during the week when I’m working in a doctors office. I live in a pet friendly condominium with a perfect small yard for dogs and I’m walking distance from several dog parks as well, I live in a great area where all dogs are able to socialize very well.
“Wendy is fantastic. She walked my dog all week (who isn’t always the easiest dog to take on walks) but did a great job and gave him a great workout. She showed up on time, went for good leisurely walks and let me know if anything was amiss. One day my pup wasn’t feeling well and she even stayed late to make sure he was ok and settled in! Would definitely recommend especially if you need a repeat walker.”

Ashley was absolutely incredible. Her communication was instantaneous, she took the best care of our girl without any issues. She even saved us last minute when we needed a late night walk. Highly recommend!
Kylie was great with my energetic one year old dog. She was punctual and shared great photos following the visit. She is clearly a dog lover and would book again!
Kellwin took excellent care of Beethoven! I had to request short notice and Kellwin made sure to provide updates during the walk. Would recommend!
Janet is amazing. First and foremost, she is reliable and on time. She is kind and compassionate and has the perfect demeanor with dogs - loving and friendly but firm and lets them know she is in charge. She walked my highly energetic dogs for an hour and they LOVED her. Thank you Janet.
Dana is great! She was extremely caring and communicated well ahead of the booking and throughout it. In the photos she sent you can tell my golden retriever Izzy was happy and loving life, even in the pouring rain, which didn’t phase Dana at all. Highly recommend!
Fabulous! We had a last minute need for a dog walker and Marisa was available. She is sweet friendly punctual knowledgeable. And most importantly our dog Skye loved her immediately! Highly recommend Marisa!
“Very nice lady who gave me plenty of attention, took me on a walk, and played tug of war with me and my favorite stuffed giraffe! Want my pawrents to book her again!” - Barnaby
