1. Cynthia R.

“Cynthia was a great walker with our dog Rocky! She took him on long walks and he was a happy and tired pup every day. Very responsive as well. Thank you Cynthia!”


2. Natalie B.

“I hired Natalie to walk my dog while I had all day commitment. She was amazing with my dog who can be shy with strangers. She followed directions perfectly and even came back after discovering an issue with the punch code on the front door. I’d highly recommend her. She’s clearly a committed person and animal lover.”


3. Laura O.

“Laura was great with our dog! She accepted the booking that I made very last minute and was patient with our dog who is weary with new people. By the end of his time with her he was comfortable and enjoying his daily walks. Thank you Laura!”


4. Adam G.

“Was so glad it ended up being you that walked our Sam! Love the fact that you've walked him before with Wag and hope we get you to walk him again! He seemed so satisfied when we got home last night and usually he is bouncing off the walls trying to go pee, but he was just excited to see us last night instead. That tells us you walked him well!! Thanks Adam!”




5. Cassandra L.

“Casssandra has been the best dog walker!! She is very kind, communicative, and easy to work with. My dog absolutely loves her and gets so excited every time he goes on a walk. I definitely recommend Cassandra as a safe and trusted walker.”




6. Kye O.
“I've had nothing but positive experiences with Kye watching my sweet, elderly pup Lulu. Kye has a gentle, warm demeanor with animals and people alike, and Lulu (who is normally quite shy and skittish) quickly grew to love spending time with him. He is communicative and responsive, has no problem handling Lulu's intense medication schedule (including administering topical eye medications three times a day), sends me cute pictures of my pup throughout, and always leaves my house even cleaner than when I left it. I highly recommend Kye to watch your pets, they will be in great hands.”


7. Osaze R.

“Osaze, has worked my Joey a few times and is always on time and really makes secure she gets a good long walk instead of meandering down the street like some dog walkers.”


8. Nicolina V.
“Nikki has cared for my cat and dogs many times, she is immensely loving and understanding about different animals needs and has nothing but love for the creatures she has under her wing. Knowing that my animals are safe with her gives me peace of mind.”


9. Elyse G.

“Elyse was amazing! Our normal dog walker bailed on us last minute, so we needed someone fast. Elyse went above and beyond making sure our dogs were comfortable with her and had great communication with us. She is super sweet and our pitties love her!!!”


10. Hikaru & John M.
“Hikaru is a responsible and lovely person. She previously watched my 50-pound husky (Luna) for several days while I was out-of-town. I met with Hikaru a few times before she watched Luna. I could quickly tell from both her personality and her behavior towards myself and Luna that she is very responsible. I provided Hikaru with all of Luna's stuff (food, water bottle, leash, etc), a summary of her daily habits, and instructions on meals. Hikaru read them and instead of guessing, she asked questions within a few hours to make sure that she is properly taking care of Luna the way I wanted. She texted me pictures of Luna several times, one of which included an 8-mile hike (perfect for an active 1-year-old husky). When I returned home to pick up Luna, Hikaru was jogging with Luna. If I had to choose my top two most valued characteristics of Hikaru, it would definitely be her love for dogs and strong sense of responsibility. I would definitely ask Hikaru to dog sit for me again.”


11. Andy B.
“Super friendly and easy walker to work with! Kind, attentive, and always gives updates on my baby girl Kiki. Can't wait to work with them again.”


12. Jessica A.

“Great Job !!!”


13. Nina C.
“Nina never fails to take great care of my dog. If I ever need a dog sitter, she is the first person I think of. She really cares l, it's more than just a job for her.”


14. Alexis S.

“Mango loved her first walk with Alexis! Looking forward to many more adventures.”


15. Alexander A.
“Alexander is great with all animals but especially dogs. He's caring, attentive, and really pays attention to your pup and all their needs. He's fast to arrive, easy to work with, and very generous on pricing.”


16. Melissa G.

“Ziggy was so excited to see Melissa for his second walk with her, and he was completely bushed when he got back. What more could you ask for?”


17. Susana H.
About: Even though I haven’t walked any dogs yet I would like to bond with them and have fun with them and enjoy their company with them. I currently have one job over the weekends and I’m currently in a program and I get out at 12pm during the week from Monday to Thursday I can keep them company and make them feel safe and let them play with some toys can take them out for walks and get to know them


18. Kay G.

“Kay is so wonderful and easy to work with! She’s walked Dakota multiple times and always been super communicative and reliable”




19. Mirza M.
“How can I not rave about Mirza? They are truly attuned to the needs of every pet, ensuring each walk is not just exercise but a fun and enriching experience. Mirza is committed to getting dogs out no matter the weather and they have a loving, playful spirit that dogs naturally gravitate toward. Beyond that, Mirza is incredibly protective and treats every pup as if they were their own. If you're looking for someone who will care for your dog like family, Mirza is the one. 10/10 would recommend!”


20. Dacyl A.
“If you’re looking for the perfect dog sitter, I can’t recommend Dacyl highly enough! I trust her with my dogs implicitly—they love her so much, they think of her as their "other dog mom." She’s exceptional with animals, truly caring and attentive, and she tailors every walk and play session to each dog's unique needs and energy level. With a lovely, dog-friendly house and yard, Dacyl offers a safe, happy environment where your dog can relax and play. She has endless patience for playtime, pets, and attention, and her genuine love for all dogs is why they can’t help but love her back. If you want your dog cared for like family, Dacyl is the sitter you need!”
