1. Ross D.


“Ross walked Huxley for me this week and by the 2nd day Huxley was thrilled to see Ross walking up and exhausted by the time he got back from his outing. Ross is friendly and kind and we have appreciated him.”


2. Shelby M.

“Highly recommend Shelby. She treats our dog just like her own, which is exactly what we want in someone who is involved with us and our dog. She is tuckered out after her walks and we love the updates we get!”


3. Kristy F.

“Thanks for giving me peace of mind about Ernie.”


4. Sharon E.

“Sharon was great with our pup! Spent time walking, playing, and snuggling - all things that brightened our dog’s day. Thank you! We will happily book her again.”


5. Hallie R.

“Hallie was very responsive and great to work with. She was very friendly and sweet, even the front desk attendants she interacted with (currently staying at motel) commented on how sweet and friendly she was.”


6. Alissa G.

“She's been just great. My rescue pups just love her. One is an anxious guy and the other one a little nutty and she does a wonderful job with both.”


7. Kerrigan A.

“Kerrigan did a great job walking our dog while we were on. Action for a week.”




8. Sarah G.
“Sarah was amazing! She was on time, sent great pics and updates during their walks, and my puppy loved her. Will definitely be using her more.”


9. Katie J.

“Katie is quick to respond, sends great updates, and is an overall amazing helper to have around. My dog and I are thankful for all of the walks, and looking forward to more in the future!”


10. Izzy V.

“Izzy was great and our pups loved her! We reached out to Izzy last minute, as we needed someone to let our pups out/walk them while we were out of town unexpectedly. She came over and met them both ahead of time, and our very timid rescue dog immediately took to Izzy. She was on time each day, and let me know when she arrived and was leaving. She made sure their food and water was full, and locked the house when she left. We will definitely be reaching out to her next time we need some help!”


11. Ellie B.

“Thank you Ellie for breaking up Bensons day with a fun walk and play. Thanks also for the photos and giving him his treat before you go-love getting the photos too!”


12. Jenny H.
About: I have loved and owned pets since childhood and have 8 years of experience fostering many different animals with varying temperaments, ages, and health issues. I'm comfortable giving medication and accommodating their individual needs. Just let me know! I work from home full-time so I am home all day and able to give pets as much attention as they need. I am free in the evening/night as well after work hours, which is when I can do longer walks or play sessions if needed. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a large backyard facing the woods, and no street-facing windows that would get dogs overexcited/stressed. I typically keep a very calm and quiet household. I have one dog who is lower energy and doesn't pay much attention to other animals in the house and one cat that will usually stay away from more rambunctious dogs. When in the backyard I typically have dogs on a long lead with me since I don't have a fence.


13. Morgan M.

“Morgan was great! She’s been sweet, responsive, and has helped me tremendously by walking Sarge while I have long hours at school. She kindly took the time out of her morning to have a meet and greet before officially walking Sarge. Thanks, Morgan!”




14. Brittany C.


“Brittany was prompt and reliable. She did not seem at all turned off by my two dogs’ energy level and ‘enthusiasm’ (including jumping) when she met them. I believe she did a great job exercising them. They seemed relaxed and settled when I returned home. I appreciated how well she kept in contact and the pictures she sent!”


15. Paxton H.
“You will not find a better pet-sitter for your 4-legged family members. Paxton obviously LOVES animals. (She has 5 dogs of her own). And my puppy (a 2 year old Labradoodle) truly LOVES Paxton - to the point of 'glee pee' when she sees her! Paxton is like a dog whisperer and always goes above and beyond in caring for Piper. Paxton does not claim to be a dog trainer but managed to break my dog of a very annoying habit just with her patience. I think my dog just naturally wants to please her. Your fur-babies will be in great hands with Paxton.”


16. Rachel M.

“Rachel did a great job walking my dog. She was on time and did everything I asked her to do!”


17. Stephanie O.

“Stephanie does a great job walking our dog. She is always punctual and also flexible when needed.”


18. Lindsey B.

“Lindsey does a wonderful job caring for my fluffy babies! She is timely and quick to respond. I know my babies are in good hands with her.”


19. Annmarie C.
“Annie is truly an animal lover. She has often taken care of my two cats and my two dogs. Whether she just feeds and plays with the cats or feeds and walks the dogs, Annie enjoys doing it all. My animals love having Annie taking care of them when I'm away. I trust Annie with my pets!”
