“Lisa has been so patient and gentle with my dog! She sends me multiple pictures and you can tell my dog is getting comfortable with her (which says a lot, my dog is very shy!!)”

“My dog Ozzy is a senior dog that requires specific care and Shao made sure to accommodate perfectly! Ozzy gets little panic attacks when alone for too long sometimes and at times requires medication. She used her intuition and gave him his anxiety pill because she felt that he had asthma like symptoms and was restless. When I came home he was and snoring away peacefully. She fed, walked, and made sure to even put his shoes on for the rain even though it’s a bit tricky to figure out how to put them on! I look forward to having her take care of Ozzy again in the future, def recommend if you have a senior dog or any dog for that matter! 10/10.”

About: Natural dog whisperer. Meet my dogs and you'll see. They were both rescues with issues but are now great. We go to the dog park everyday and at least 1 super long walk I'm a former research engineer and now just spend my days with my dogs. Figure we could use some company going to the dog park and dog beach I have an apartment with patio. I take my dogs out very often because I prefer being outdoors and exploring nature and all the trails
“Best dog walker ever!!!! You would be a fool to let anyone else walk your dog, she is so sweet and kind, Frankie just loves her. Responsible, on time, high integrity, a pleasure meeting her, and happy she was able to squeeze in Frankie last minute with huge smile, kind words, and plenty of pictures, she went above and beyond taking such good care of his special needs for pure love!!!”


“I’m so glad I found Cheryll! She is the most responsive provider I’ve communicated with, and my little guy was immediately comfortable with her. Will definitely be requesting her services again. Thank you Cheryll!!”
“Elena is wonderful. Very knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors (was trained as a vet). She immediately noticed things about our dog. She is very friendly, punctual, and took our dog out when it was pouring rain outside, and did it with a smile.”

“Marisela is amazing! and very helpful especially under short notice. Our puppy loves her very much and she was great about changing her pad if she had any accidents and filling her water bowl. I didn't expect her to go beyond the walk but we definitely appreciated it.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and understand the love, attention, and care they deserve as members of the family. In addition to my personal experience, I previously worked at a dog boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also volunteered at Pets Unlimited in San Francisco, where I helped care for animals and gained additional experience working with pets in a professional setting. I currently have a friendly Golden Retriever named Whiskey, who is well-socialized and enjoys the company of other dogs. I have also successfully boarded dogs in my home with Whiskey and always prioritize safe introductions and a comfortable environment for everyone. My goal is to provide your pet with the same level of care, attention, and affection that I give my own dog, so you can feel confident they are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available on weekends and can provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys relaxing at home, playing, or getting out for adventure, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I love spending time outdoors and can take dogs on walks, hikes, and other fun activities to help them stay active and engaged. I also have a friendly Golden Retriever named Whiskey who loves meeting other dogs. If your pup enjoys canine companionship, Whiskey is a great playmate and helps create a welcoming, social environment. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and has a great time while in my care. I live in a townhouse community with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and several nearby walking trails for exercise and enrichment. Dogs in my care receive regular outdoor time, walks, and attention based on their individual energy levels and needs. My home provides a safe, comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home while you’re away.
“James is Maisie’s favorite (aside from her own family)! James picked up Maisie, and she was so happy when he drove up! She couldn’t wait to get into the car. James sent updates while he had Maisie. He let us know her “potty” activity during her walk. He sent lots of pictures and communication. We love when James has Maisie, because we NEVER worry and know Maisie is happy and safe! Maisie can’t wait to hangout with James and friends again!”


“Meghann was absolutely amazing with our dog! Our dog can be a bit shy, but she loved Meghann right away! Meghann gave our dog her daily walks and spent time making sure she was settled and taken care of. We will definitely book with Meghann again! ❤️”

About: I work with kids so I am used to being calm, patient and new or challenging environments that necessitates extra care and attention towards your pets. I am a college student and my work schedule changes frequently however I am available weekends as well as mornings on Thursdays and Fridays as I don’t have classes those days. I do not have any pets at the moment so my house is very clean and your pets would get my full attention. I have a decently sized yard for any outdoor time. I have a bed and toys to keep your pets entertained. My neighborhood is quiet and safe with minimal traffic, perfect for long or short walks.
“Gracy has been amazing. She started off doing weekly walks with our dog, Skye, and our son's dog, Loki. Skye is very independent so I wasn't sure how Gracy was going to handle it, but Gracy ended up being the perfect person for Skye! My wife and I went on a 6 day cruise and needed someone to take Skye out while our son was at work. Gracy eagerly agreed. Our grandkids also stopped by several times during our trip and told us that Skye was sad and didn't want to come out of her kennel. But when I saw the pictures that Gracy sent us while taking Skye on walks everyday, I knew that our girl was in good hands. Thank you so much Gracy, you are one of Skye's favorite people.”

“This is a long overdue review, but Maria is literally the best!! She’s been taking care of my dog Rado since January of this year, and she is so incredibly kind, reliable, patient, and amazing with Rado. Rado is on the more nervous and reactive spectrum, as he is a rescue from another country. Maria is able to work with his anxiety and stubbornness despite it all. If you are looking for someone to help take care of your fur baby, cannot emphasize Maria enough. She’s truly amazing! I cannot thank you enough!!”

Anna showed up for me in a pinch— I needed help amidst unpacking from a move while my puppy showed signs of needing a little more help adjusting. She walked my young one and brought him back happy as can be! Anna is super professional and polite to work with, I couldn't ask for better communication. Thank you Anna!

I’m so glad I found Stephanie! Our dog Chloe is anxious and reactive to people, and Stephanie knows exactly how to be with her - calmly approaching Chloe and letting her acclimate at her own pace. Chloe was so calm and well taken care of at Stephanie’s. Stephanie is my go-to for Chloe when we need to go on a trip, and I would highly recommend her!
