“Georgina has been doing drop in visits on our girl Josie for the past few months and she's been great. Josie is a 6 month old lab with lots of energy and she gives her the opportunity to run and play throughout the day while we are at work. She's been reliable and respectful of our home. She's also been very accommodating while we've had some work done on the exterior of our home and didn't have access to the fenced-in back yard. She's even taken her on walks without us asking her to. We appreciate the care she's given Josie and will continue to request visits from her in the future.”

“Breanna was great taking care of my cat, Chad! I appreciated her updates and meeting to get the spare key and instructions beforehand. 10/10 would ask for her help caring for him while I’m out of town again!”
About: I've lived and cared for dogs all of my life. For the past 3 years I have helped my girlfriend raise her dog and cat. I work a full-time job through the weekend, so my weekdays are completely freed up. I am very passionate about dogs, and I know this would be an enjoyable experience for me. I like to go on multiple walks, have some backyard fun and go to the local park. For pets with medication or requires special care I will follow all instructions carefully to keep your pet healthy and comfortable. It's very important to me to stick to your dog's feeding schedule and dietary needs. I am comfortable with all different breeds, sizes and age of your dogs.

Brian G.
“Brian has been walking my dog Sonny for the past six months, and I truly couldn’t ask for a better dog walker. From day one, he’s been reliable, communicative, and clearly passionate about working with dogs. Sonny absolutely lights up when Brian arrives—it’s obvious they’ve built a great bond. I really appreciate the updates and photos Brian sends after each walk. It’s reassuring to know Sonny is getting exercise, attention, and care, even when I can’t be there. Brian has also been super flexible when my schedule changes and always makes sure Sonny is well taken care of. If you’re looking for someone you can fully trust with your dog, I highly recommend Brian. He’s been a game-changer for both me and Sonny!”
