1. Mira K.
“Mira is extremely kind and responsible. I hired her to walk my dog for two weeks every day while I was away – she was very dependable and showed up every single day on time. She seemed to really care about my dog, and my dog liked her. She sent pictures and knows how to handle an older dog.”
2. Elly S.
“Elly has been the best! She does recurring weekly walks for my pup, Winston. Always on time, leaves updates and lots of pictures. My pup is not the most active/doesn’t always want to walk but she always makes sure he gets out to pee even when he is being stubborn. Going back into the office has been a breeze due to Elly - thank you!!!”
3. Nicole L.
“I had knee surgery and I needed someone to walk my energetic puppy to get him tired. When Nicole started she asked what he was bred for, and I said he was a scent dog. When she walks him she lets him sniff everything, and he comes home after 30 minutes a tired happy puppy! Nicole is magic!”

“You'll be pressed to find a more caring and lovable person to watch your pets. Jasmine truly loves animals and taking care of them. She's very responsible, punctual, and accommodating. She'll send you very detail reports and several pictures, because she enjoys spending time with cats and dogs, and you can tell from everything she does for them. She's watched my 2 cats and dog several times, and has consistently shown she cares for them and will do all she can to make sure they're happy.”

16. Alejandra P.
About: I am a patient and kind caregiver who always treats animals with respect. I have basic training skills, as I have a beagle, and as some know, it's a very stubborn and difficult breed to train. But with patience and love for animals, anything is possible. I’m working part-time so I have time in the mornings and on weekends too. I like to walk and play with my dog an have the dogs use their brain, which is their sense of smell, which is the best way for them to de- stress, in addition to exercising I take caer of each dog as of it were my own with all the love and patience i should have. Carrying out each of the care that the owners tell me in case you need to take some medicine, brush your child, play with them or just keep them company do them don’t feel alone.
17. Ethan J.
“Many thanks to Ethan for a nice walk with our lab. He kindly agreed to the last minute request, was very accommodating and great in communication.”
18. Katherine V.

19. Phoebe I.
“Phoebe was very communicative and was great with Dax. He loved her instantly!”
