“Would absolutely rebook Maria again! She was prompt, communicative, and an amazing walking partner for my dog who needs daily hour long walks. We really felt she went the extra mile for us”
“Nicole walks our dog daily and we fully recommend her for anyone's pet care needs! Our dog is greatly improving on the leash after his daily walks with Nicole and is so at ease when she is around. Nicole is responsive, on time, and, most importantly, great with our dog.”
“Anna is very responsive and reliable. Reese enjoyed his time with her this weekend (I could tel through pictures sent!) and I am so thankful for her being able to give him some attention while I was away. Will for sure have Anna come again soon.”
About: I wasn’t allowed pets due to family allergies as a kid so I have been baby sitting family’s little ones and walking them since I was a teen. I make sure that they are happy and content. We play til they’re pooped and have a nice nap. They’ll get all the attention they want from me. And because my own pets get meds I can quite comfortable administering meds. I know healthcare is different than vet care but it’s quite close. I’m working full time but I only work 3 days a week so I’ll still have plenty of time the rest of the week to see your little ones! I have three little ones of my own. A golden retriever and 2 kitty cats. My pets are never out unsupervised. My dog gets multiple walks a day and inside play time as well. My kitty cats have each other but get individual attention. So if your dog likes company than it’s like a two for one deal lol
“I highly recommend Mark. He is punctual and super easy to work with, and very professional. He also gives me a summary of how the walks went and take pics. My dog loves to take walks with him, when my dog sees him, he is so happy, maybe even happier that if my dog sees me, that says a lot!”
“Ben is always amazing. I have been using his boarding service and always had a great experience. This is the first time I traveled for 2 weeks and needed his help to walk my dog during that time. I cant say thank you enough for how much he loves and cares for my dog. He is a truely dog lover, very reliable. Chelsea remembered Ben right away and was so happy when he came to walk Chelsea.”
“Denisse has been fantastic with our older dog! Very responsive and super accommodating. Our 50lb dog needs to be carried up/down the stairs and she handles that without issue and provides plenty of pictures, updates, and even gives our dog cookies.”
“Sarah has been walking my dogs for 2 weeks now and it has been great. She’s quick to respond to messages, flexible with schedule changes, and reliable with our bookings. We will continue to book Sarah!”
“Ivan is very nice with my dog, he is taking care of my dog really well. My pet is though very picky in liking people but she loves Ivan and very happy with him. I am really thankful to him for taking so good care of her.”
About: I have done puppy training classes with my own furbaby and can teach your furbaby some basics (like sit, leave it, drop it, etc). Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to work on! I wake up, snuggle my dog, get ready for work (from home), take my dog out, eat with my dog, work, play with my dog in between doing tasks at work, work some more, then take my dog out again! This will depend on what the client needs! Flexible and open to doing what the furbaby needs! Will wipe a furbaby baby's butt if needed!
“Jessica was great! She responded promptly and got here ready to go right on time. Mila clearly enjoyed her time with her, and loved her immediately! She was very knowledgeable about what type of questions to ask before starting their walk, which I appreciated. 💗”
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 17. Family, neighbors, and friends have trusted me to walk, feed, clean up after, and comfort their pets while they’re away. Whether it’s a snuggly cat or an energetic pup, I always approach animals with patience and love. I currently work part-time, so I’m flexible and can make time for drop-in visits or overnight stays at your home. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays after 2PM. I’ll treat your home with care—and your pets like family. I do not offer boarding in my own home, but I provide thoughtful, reliable care in your space—where your pets feel most secure. I respect your home, follow your pet’s routine, and ensure they feel safe, soothed, and seen while you’re away.
“Carolina was great! She made sure to ask all of the important questions before taking the job. She was also flexible with timings of walks. Once she was here, she was sure to send me plenty of updates and pictures. I will definitely be sending her requests in the future.”

About: I have three cats and took care of my grandparents two puppies when I was kid. Most of my friends are pet owners so I occasionally taking care of their pets when they are out of town as well.

We needed a dog walker at the last minute due to an illness in our family. Luke was incredibly responsive and accommodating. He took great care of our dog, Bud, who is young and strong! We also enjoyed learning a bit about Luke. Luke is professional, kind and clearly cares about animals. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Luke again and highly recommend him.
Would absolutely rebook Mark again! He was prompt, communicative, and an amazing walking partner for my dog who needed daily hour long walks while we were away for a long weekend. He is attuned to making your dog comfortable: I mentioned that my dog is nervous around men and Mark set-up a quick meet and greet to get acquainted. We really felt he went the extra mile for us 💚
Gracie has been incredible with our little toy poodle and his 95 year old owner, my mom. She has handled both with kindness, calm and extraordinary reliability. Twice daily walks, 7 days each week. 100% on time. 100% proactive in solving anticipated issues. Great communication. Gentle, professional. I'm running out of adjectives for this very special person.
I have booked with Nicole a few times now for walks and more recently a drop in visit. She always replies in a timely manner and is very flexible with my schedule. She leaves very thorough reviews of my dogs and how they acted and clearly cares very much for them. She was able to take care of my dog after he hurt his back and give him his medications while I was gone! She does a great job at every visit! Will continue to book with her.
