“Nicholas was terrific! Prompt, friendly and reliable. I had Nicholas walk my dog every morning for a week just after I had back surgery. My dog took to him right away and got so excited to see him every morning. Nicholas took different waking routes but preferred taking my dog to the field which he most enjoyed. Great guy. Highly recommend!”



“Angelica was on time & my pup Hazel is extremely shy with people . When Angelica arrived, and walked onto our deck Hazel went right up to her did not hide behind me at all in fact she kissed Angelica hand!! It was amazing to me how Hazel felt so comfortable instantly . Which completely relaxed me & I felt very confident & comfortable. She took Hazel for a walk & I watched Hazel walk as if she knew Angelica & trusted her! I would recommend Angelica highly. She was very responsible & loving with my pup! I rate her excellent! 🩷”


“Daniel went above and beyond for my 17yro miniature poodle, Bella. He was the best caregiver to her for over 7yrs. He treated Bella like she was his own. He was always on time and made sure to keep me updated with timely communication. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”

“Having watched Claire foster a small litter of kittens and a puppy, I can confidently say that she is truly passionate about the care and love of animals. She treated her fosters like they were her own, making sure their time with her was not only safe but meaningful. With the kittens especially, she spent so much time socializing them that they were quickly adopted into loving homes. My dog Gus adores Claire! He knows that whenever she comes over, he’s guaranteed unlimited kisses and belly rubs. Most importantly, I know whenever he stays with her, she will treat him with the level of love (and obsession) I have for him. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for your pets, Claire is the one. I couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Cambria is a huge help with walking my dog buddy!”


“Carly is one of the most responsible and caring people I know. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she will be the one your pet loves. She loves to care for any animal and tries to befriend the shy ones. She is not a quitter and is up for a challenge when faced by one.”

“Both of my dogs absolutely love Christen and always come back tired and ready for a nap. Christen is very communicative and helpful in making sure my puppy is behaving well!”


“Mike showed up for me when I needed someone last minute. Gunner took to him very well. Mike is great- he provided me photos & communicated with me through out his walk which made me feel at ease. I will definitely use him again.”

“Kelley is fantastic with my dog Cowboy! He is a strong dog and pulls hard on the leash, which makes walking him difficult. Kelley did a great job handling him and he loves her! She is very professional and arrived on time, even with a ton of construction happening on my street! I trust her with my pets.🐶🐱”


“Cindy was fantastic! I needed someone to take my dog out during the day when I had to go into work last minute. Cindy was prompt and took great care of my 10 month old puppy while I was out. She even made sure to come over the day before to meet me and my dog to make sure we were comfortable. We look forward to using her services again!”

“Marie is such a joy to work with! So communicative, quick to respond, and super accommodating (especially with my early morning requests). I absolutely trust her with my two dogs for the regular feedings/walks, but also in case of emergency! It's obvious she absolutely adores dogs and provides the utmost care and attention! Thank you, Marie!”


“Rick is truly the best! We were looking for a new dog sitter and feel so lucky to have found Rick. His property is truly a dog heaven with open space for the dogs to run, play, and explore. When we first met Rick he introduced his own dogs to our dog Ruby one at a time and made Ruby very comfortable. Rick treated Ruby just like his own dog. He sent multiple videos and we could see how happy she was in his care. I highly recommend Rick! We will definitely use Rick again to care for Ruby! :)”


“Kailyn is truly passionate about animal, growing up around many cats and dogs, as well as owning multiple. Definitely someone I’d trust to take care of any of my pets.”

“Leaving your pet without someone is never easy. But leaving them in the care of Maura would be one of the best things you could do for your pets. She lovingly cares for all animals. Giving them love and lots of attention whenever she is around. She cares for young and old pets, even those with special needs and always does so like they are her own. Highly recommended!!”
