1. Elvia C.

“Elvia was incredible. She sent us updates throughout her time with our dog, Cora. She is very flexible and helpful in time of short notice. Cora was exhausted at the end of the day so she was taken great care of. We will 100 percent keep using Elvia in the future for our dog. Highly recommend”

14. Stephanie P.


“Steph is an INCREDIBLE dog sitter! She truly went above and beyond to make sure my new puppy had an amazing first week adjusting to his new routine. She was so patient with Ozzy and Ozzy very clearly loved his time with Steph. Steph even gave me training tips and provided very detailed updates after each visit- pictures and videos included! She understands dogs on a deep level and knows how to connect with them instantly. She also made sure my apartment was left even better than she found it and even contacted me when she realized there was a leak in my apartment! She went above the normal expectations of a dog sitter, and I feel so lucky to have found her. I highly recommend Steph for all your dog sitting needs!”

“Lisa has had our dog stay with her overnight on several occasions. She cared so much for our dog and loved on our dog as if she were her own. We will definitely bring our dog back to her in the future. We trust her and highly recommend her!”


16. Janet M.
“I can’t say enough good things about Janet! She has been an incredible blessing for my dog, Ash. While I'm at work, I know Ash is in the best hands. Janet is not only reliable and punctual but also genuinely loves dogs. Ash always comes home happy and well-exercised after his walks. What impresses me most is the personalized attention and care Ash receives. Janet takes the time to understand Ash's personality and needs, ensuring each walk is enjoyable and safe. I receive regular updates and photos, which really puts my mind at ease. If you're looking for someone who is trustworthy, caring, and passionate about dogs, look no further! I highly recommend Janet to anyone in need of a fantastic dog walker.”


17. maria alexandra v.
“I do not think it is an exaggeration to say that Maria loves dogs more than kiddos - and this is a woman who has been hailed as a phenomenal nanny by several families over the last several years. Many people will ask to pet new dogs that they meet, but Maria truly falls in love with every single one. In fact this is true of all animals, but she does have a special place in her heart for doggos. I probably do not have space to write all the stories I could about this part of her life, but here are a few. In addition to the dogs she has cared for while nannying (5 in total), she has had no less than 4 dogs of her own. She has raised newborn puppies, and she has rescued dogs (and cats) that she found abandoned in the street, or that were left by families that could no longer care for them. In fact just the other day she turned the car around when she believed she saw a dog being tied to a pole on the side of the road, but thankfully the owner was only taking a rest and did stay with the animal the entire time. Maria is from Colombia, which has a complicated dog culture. There is an abundance of dogs throughout the country, but they are not always well cared for, and many end up as strays. I personally witnessed her nurture a hungry stray dog while staying at a fancy resort. While the proprietors tried to shoo the animal, thinking it was being bothersome, Maria was actually encouraging the dog to approach. She then calmed him into trusting her so that she could give him some food and water, and he later followed us to our cabana and slept outside. We currently have two dogs in our family, and if I didn’t see it with my own eyes every day, I would not believe two dogs could ever be this happy and comfortable. She does not simply provide them food and water. She rolls around and plays with them whenever they bring her one of their favorite toys, and she lays down with them on whatever surface of the house suits them in the moment. They have so many choices, with 3 beds of their own, a comfy couch and ottoman, and even occasionally our own bed. She bathes them, grooms them, cleans their teeth, and even paints their nails (yes really!). To them, I may be one of their “humans”, but she is truly a part of their pack. Arya, Kathy (our mini French poodles), and Maria would love a chance to share their love with the special furry member of your family, and I promise they will be so very well cared for!!”


18. Kenisha M.

“Kenisha was amazing! I was traveling overseas for 11 nights and needed someone to come in to check on my 3 cats, feed them and clean up after them. She was so sweet and caring and my cats were happy. Even my extremely shy one came out and let her scratch her head. I highly recommend hiring this beautiful soul to take care of your pets.”


19. stefanie o.

“Stefanie was fantastic! She went above and beyond to take care of our cats. They were well loved and taken care of while we were away, and we will definitely ask her to look after them again in the future. Highly recommend!!”


20. Wendy Johanna B.

“Wendy is great! We had her come walk our dog for two days in a row and then a drop in while we were gone for the day, all in 1 weeks time, and each visit went great! She is very attentive to updates and making sure our Haruki is safe and sound for all walks and visits. Definitely recommend her services!”
