“OMG!! Lanese was a last minute lifesaver before my trip! She was very thoughtful and accommodating towards the task of daily walks for Max. Lanese was always on time and made sure she thoroughly fulfilled the walk. Her daily communication while I was away gave me assurance.

Highly recommend! Super responsible and reliable dog walker. They always provide detailed updates with lots of pictures, which really gives me peace of mind while I’m away. They followed all of my instructions carefully and were very attentive to my dogs’ needs and routines. You can tell they genuinely care about the pets they work with. Thank you so much for the wonderful care!
Alise was awesome to work with. I had to change my booking at last minute from an overnight stay to just walking Snoop - due to circumstances beyond my control (my travel plans changed due to weather). She was easy to work with, understood the need to change and did great with Snoop both days and sent me updates! Will definitely book her again!
Sam has been so sweet and loving with our boy Charlie from the moment they met. He’s been super protective of the pack since we got a new family member but she was able to convince him to leave the house and walk farther than any other dog walkers have. Highly recommend Sam!
