“Lexy is AMAZING!!! Highly highly highly recommend. We were referred to Lexy by a mutual friend, and we could not be more pleased with her responsiveness and the level of care she has provided for our dogs. Lexy goes above and beyond to make sure our dogs are well taken care of, and she is happy to fulfill last minute requests when needed. She is flexible and very quick to answer our questions and provide updates. She has a passion for animals and this clearly shows as she is able to easily manage our chihuahua and golden doodle, who can at times be challenging! We are incredibly grateful for Lexy's help and will continue to use her services.”

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Megan caring for both of our dogs. She has been reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. Our dogs are always happy to see her, and it gives us great peace of mind knowing they are in such caring hands. She has been especially helpful during a time when I’ve had some mobility issues and haven’t been able to walk the dogs myself. Knowing they are getting the exercise, attention, and care they need has been a huge relief. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker or pet sitter.
I am so grateful for Kristina! First... in a sea of bios claiming to love dogs, Kristina's is the only one with experience in the industry, making me comfortable with her knowledge in handling sensitive dogs. I needed a last minute sitter, and Kristina was able to accommodate. My sensitive pup even let her lay in bed with him! I appreciate Kristina's responsiveness, ability to accommodate, experience, and gentle soul! Thank you!
We just moved to the area and we left behind our wonderful rover in our home state, so we were nervous to try a new one here. We feel SO lucky to have found Candace and Tim! They have done a boarding for us and they also did a walk for us. They are amazing with our two pups and we will always be inquiring to book them whenever we need someone to care for them!
Anna is wonderful! She helped me out last minute with a walk for my golden retriever who had to wear a cone from a hot spot! Even though I didn’t get a chance to meet her in person, all communication was clear and thorough! I wouldn’t hesitate to use Anna again for her services. I just know my boy loved her!!
Anne is truly the most amazing dog sitter we could ever ask for! She’s incredibly kind, super responsive, and always flexible with our unpredictable schedule—which makes our lives so much easier. Not only is she reliable, but she is always sure to share a ton of photos and videos of Finn having the absolute BEST time. This gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s happy, safe, getting plenty of exercise and most importantly well loved. Anne goes above and beyond by working on trick training with him and even surprising him with new toys from time to time. And the cherry on top is that Finn gets playtime with her sweet dog Roxy, who Finn is completely obsessed with. Their little family helping us out has been so special. Thank you for all that you are Anne, Bryan and Roxy!
Greg was incredible. He was on time and even early everyday. He was so considerate and good with our dog. Provided him treats and lots of mileage and smell stops. Would highly recommend Greg to walk or watch your dog. He is a kind man that loves animals! We will for sure use him again!
Callon has been great with Harley. She is so excited when he arrives to take her on a walk and he is very intuitive with her energy level. She always comes back happy and well exercised. He's also excellent at communicating and punctual. You can tell he's an animal lover. Would highly recommend him as a dog walker!
