2. Anna M.
“Anna did a great job walking our dog while we were away on vacation. Despite the snow and freezing temperatures, she walked her for the full 30 minutes twice a day every day. She was very flexible when I asked her to pick the dog up at a different location and communicated a bunch of times to update me on how things were going. I highly recommend using Anna.”

“Juliana is wonderful ! We haven’t walked Dewy the last 2 days and totally forgot about the weather. I confirmed with Juliana then my husband reminded me it’s going to rain. She still came and took my boy to the dog park. The rain wouldn’t stop so I ask her to bring him back if the rain keeps on going. We can’t wait to see Juliana again in a nicer weather.”
17. Alison J.
About: My pets have always been my babies, and that same love, patience, and dedication now extend to your furry family. With over 15 years of personal experience as a dog owner, I’ve cared for my own two pups through every stage of life—from playful puppies to their golden years, including managing chronic illnesses, administering multiple medications, and coordinating frequent vet visits. I’ve also been the go-to dog walker for friends and family since my teenage years, so your pets will be in experienced, compassionate hands. Whether it’s training a rambunctious puppy or providing gentle senior care, I treat every pet like my own—because they deserve nothing less. I am stay at home/ work from home mom. I have a lot of flexibility with scheduling and I’m sure can find ways to work around your needs. I have a fenced in yard where my fur babies used to safely play. But in home sittings currently not offered, subject to change in the future.
18. Emily M.
“Emily was fantastic!! She took Andy on the best walk of his life. So charismatic and loving she really is all you can ask for to take care of your little furry friends and more !! Will be using her again!”
19. Ryan A.
“Ryan has the sweetest soul ever. He is very loving and caring. He goes out of his way to make sure what he is doing is correct. He takes care of my two dogs and cat from time to time. Whenever we come back home, they are very happy and properly taken care of. Additionally, no messes were left (as in food on the floor or fluff from a toy). Their water bowl was always filled meaning he filled it all the time because my dogs and cat are always drinking. Ryan is the best!!”
