1. Lexie T.
“Lexie is my go-to cat sitter and I appreciate her so so much! She treats my little Archie like her own and is very attentive to his needs. She never fails to send me adorable pics and to give him all the love and attention he could ever need. She definitely helps ease any anxiety or guilt I may feel whilst traveling. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to watch my fur baby!!”


2. Sean M.

“Sean is great! I have two 'velcro dogs' but they happily leave me to go for a walk with him. Super quick replies and very accommodating when scheduling adjustments need to be made. We will continue to use Sean as long as possible!”


3. Lauren K.

“Lauren was great with our pup. She took him on a long walk and spent time with him. Lauren is very professional, communicative and trustworthy. I recommend Lauren to take care of your pet without reservation. We will most definitely call upon her again.”


4. Erika S.

“Erika is wonderful! She’s been consistently walking our pup Ruby. She takes great care of her, is easy to communicate with, and very flexible”


5. Cecelia M.
“Cecelia has been a wonderful help to our family! She is kind, easygoing, and always reliable. We have a senior dog who requires a lot of patience and care, all of which Cecelia has exceeded with! Our pup is always excited to see her and we feel relief knowing that she is in great hands!”


6. Grace M.
“Grace is awesome with dogs. She is caring, loves to play, sit with, and walk dogs, and genuinely wants to help the pet owners however she can. She is the Dog Whisperer. So, whether your "family member" is large or small, loves to play or just mellow out, she will love them just the same”


7. Mimi F.

“Mimi was great with our dog Pepper! Very responsive and prompt”


8. Nick N.

“Very communicative throughout the process. We will be booking again 🙂”


9. Sofia Z.
“Sofia has dog-sat for my dog Milo for 6 years now every time I go out of town. She sends me photos of them going to the dog park and on walks which is so great to see when I’m away from Milo. Her energy and love for dogs really makes gives me the comfort I need when I leave town. She is always willing to take care of him when she is back from college. I have never seen him more excited to see someone when she comes to pick him up. I have yet to meet someone that I trust more with my Milo and I’m sad that she isn’t always in town because of college. I would highly recommend Sofia to anyone who truly loves and cares for their dog.”


10. Caitlin G.
“Caitlin is truly the best dog watcher out there! I always feel safe knowing my pups are in her capable care. She has taken care of two of my dogs on multiple occasions. Each dog has a unique set of needs. One is a sweet and goofy golden doodle with a sensitive stomach and multiple health problems. Caitlin has taken care of this sweet boy with the utmost care, diligently giving him his medicine (which can sometimes be quite complicated!), monitoring his water intake, and providing consistent updates. The other dog is a rescue pitbull mix who isn't always the most trusting. However, Caitlin was able to quickly win him over with her consistency and easygoing personality. I was worried that I wouldn't find someone that would be able to meet both dogs' needs, yet with Caitlin--I can take vacations as needed knowing they are both receiving the best care. Thank you, Caitlin!!”


11. Jaileen R.
“In the 8 years that I have known Jaileen, I have been able to witness how wonderful she is with pets. She grew up with a Yorkie and is such a dog person, in addition to loving all animals. On a regular, she dog-sits for my dog as well as her sister's for extended periods of time. Both dog’s love her and appreciate staying with her.”


12. Olivia F.

“Olivia did such an amazing job with our VERY active border collie Rigby! He was clearly so happy when he came home from walking with her, he would immediately take a long nap (rare for a border collie lol). We can't wait to have her back!”


13. Amanda H.


“Amanda has been fantastic walking my dog Ellie. Ellie takes a while to warm up to new people and Amanda was good at respecting Ellie's boundaries while Ellie got comfortable. Amanda is also reliable and great at communicating with me when I have questions.”


14. Cassie N.

“Cassie has been an amazing dog walker for Jerome! She has truly gotten to know him and love him (he loves her too!). It's clear that she genuinely cares about his well-being. Every time she takes him out, she plays with him and gives him the attention he deserves. I couldn't ask for a better person to look after my little bestie. Highly recommend Cassie for anyone looking for a dedicated and loving dog walker!”


15. Julia J.
“Juila is amazing with all kinds of animals! I've seen firsthand the way she treats her cat better than most parents treat their children! In all seriousness though, Julia has a real love for all the dogs that she has had in her life both as a child and an adult. At social functions she usually ends up spending more time with the dogs than the people. That genuine love and care translates into real dedication to quality care for any dog she has to interact with in that capacity. She is responsive, timely and dedicated in any work capacity and would be an amazing dog sitter/walker!”


16. Aoife C.

“Took the cutest pics of my dog Mipha on her walks! Thank you!”


17. Julie P.

“Julie was fantastic, she went above and beyond when walking our puppy! She was incredibly communicative, punctual and caring. Highly recommend and will definitely be using her again.”


18. Madison B.
“Maddy is a lover of all animals! She would watch my dog and treat him like he was her own. Loves to interact with cats and dogs while getting their energy out. Highly recommend to watch your pet!”


19. Megan R.
“Megan regularly watches our 3 year old sheepadoodle. She’s reliable, takes him for long walks and leaves him tired when we get home. Highly recommend her!”


20. Meaghan L.

“Meaghan was awesome. Otto was very grouchy, had a lot of stressors today, and she took his leash and went for a first walk together! They did great together and I’m thrilled!”
