“Vanessa was a pleasure to work with. Our dog, Gretel, loved her. She took her on multiple walks a day for us and Gretel was so excited to see her each time. She was super easy to work with and made scheduling so easy. Highly recommend her and would book again in a second.”

8. Eleni C.
“We used Eléni for daily waking while we were away. She was so sweet and loving to Jake and helped my mother in law with some medication he needed on his paw. She was punctual and walked him for the full agreed upon time plus more for belly rubs! I highly recommend Eléni and will definitely be using her again when the need arises!”
9. Armin K.
“Armin has watched my dog overnight several times and I have always had a good experience. He is very responsive and sends updates including pictures which always makes me feel more at ease when I am not with my dog. He is very caring and a great pet sitter.”
10. Madelyn Y.
“I have known Madelyn for almost 10 years, and I have never met anyone with as much compassion as she does regarding animals, especially dogs. Not only has she had a dog her entire life, she has worked several years as a Pet Care Supervisor where she received professional training in handling all kinds of dogs. I personally have a Giant Schnauzer who is over 100lb and quite the handful to deal with. Madelyn is the first person I call when I need someone to look after him. With her experience, she has no trouble handling him and I never have any worries when I leave her to look out for him. I believe that with Madelyn's professional experience and love for dogs she would be the perfect pet caregiver.”
11. maria v.
“Maria shows a great deal of compassion and attention for pets in an effortless way. She is kind and loving and pets love her. She is very diligent and careful when it comes to following particular rules. As someone that’s known for her a very long time, I can say she has always shown a warm love and gravitation for animals and they seem to be very comfortable around her as well. She would be a great fit for any job that involves caretaking any pets.”
