“Lucky and Scout looked so happy in all the updates from Nicole. While we weren’t there to facilitate the walks, our dog sitters had great things to say about Nicole and how she was with our girls. We would definitely hire her again if we needed to!”

4. Allie K.
“Allie used the app and I knew when my dog was picked up and dropped off. She provided a "report card" on each walk - details on potty breaks, water breaks, pictures, and any other information I needed to know about. She is kind, professionally, and I would recommend Allie. ”
5. Jamie S.

15. Ezra S.
About: I have monitored a group of 15 dogs, making sure they don't play too rough and cleaning up after them in the yard for my job. I would also take pictures of the dogs, so I am very good at capturing the perfect moments with your pet. This job has made me comfortable with all types of breeds. I also worked at Anderson Humane for 2 years. I walked many dogs outside and put on leashes/harnesses on them myself. Even without the experience, I am a dedicated animal lover that just wants the best for your pet! I am available all week while I am on break from college. I am willing to stay over night for the weekdays but can come over anytime for drop-ins. I am willing to drive about 20 minutes out from my house to care for your pet. I am comfortable walking around your neighborhood during the day.
16. Monica C.
“We were so grateful to have Monica's help with walking our two big dogs! She left a great first impression when she offered to do a meet and greet beforehand. We'd definitely hire her again!”
17. Valerie P.
“Valerie is fantastic! Valerie is always very responsive to any questions or concerns and is very proactive and asks questions to make sure that her clients (furry and parents) are happy with the service she provides. If you are looking for a great care provider for your pet look no further.”
18. Taylor S.
“Taylor is an excellent person who cares for our dog. She is attentive and always thinks of other ways to keep him occupied. From play time outside for a few, taking for walks or car rides to filling a snuffle mat. She also explained the importance for us to change from standard collar and leash to harness and leash- for our fur babies neck health; which we have done!”
19. Elizabeth B.
“Elizabeth is such a valuable dog walker for us. She has always been flexible and is always so positive. Not only that, but I was able to be home one day when Elizabeth came over, and our dog was so delighted to see her. She was actually jealous of me talking to Elizabeth.”
20. Emma "Amy" C.
“So thankful to have found Amy! our senior rescue loves her walks. Amy is super caring to our sweet girl and I know she is in capable hands if there are any special needs or requests.”
