“Dylan is a great find! it takes a brave soul with skills to take on a rambunctious energetic GSD with her greyhound friend Trinity and her side kick Pepper. Dylan did it all with skill, and knowledge and most of all caring and compassion. I was so relieved to have him at the house caring for this crew!”

Carey L.
“Carey has done wonderful work with not only my dog, but with my daughter's dog. She is patient, caring, and very attentive to the dogs. While taking my dog for walks she has taught him to heal and wait to keep him safe for crossing the streets and when other dogs approach. She always checks his paws for any injuries after their walk. Carey works with the dog not only to give it exercise, but to engage his mind too. She loves my dog like her own. He is always excited to see her, even the mention of saying 'Carey's here' makes him jumping around excited. She takes him in the rain, and dries him off and snuggles with him when they are done. I could not have asked for a better dog walker/sitter, and would highly recommend her for any type dog!”
