She also stops by and takes my dog for walks if I get stuck in traffic or have an emergency. She is an absolute angel and my family and I are so lucky to have her. I would recommend Macy for anyone who needs a pet sitter or dog walker without reservation”

20. Desiree Y.
About: I have an adorable rescue dog named Ollie. He is almost 4 years old and such a good boy. I also used to have dogs when I was younger. My work allows me chunks of time off between jobs. Often, I’ll end up with a month or so at home. I take lots of neighborhood walks with my dog. I have a fenced yard and a dog of my own to keep yours company. There is also an option to section off the house with a dog gate if needed.
