“Amazing sitter, cares well for my pup and sends great updates and pics of how she’s doing”


2. Vanessa S.

“Vanessa kept her word and showed up on the days contracted for allowing me to go out of town on a business trip. Both my mother and my dog (Coco) were pleased with her. I hope she is available again in the future.”


3. Lacey S.

“Lacey was great with Varney, taking him out as far as he needed to go to do his business. She also let him sniff and chew sticks which is part of his routine.”


4. Kathleen B.

“Kathleen was great in taking care of our two somewhat needy pups. She took them for a nice long walk and was very quick and frequent in communication. I will come back to Kathleen for future walks!”




5. Jessica J.

“Jessica was responsive, on time and took great care of our pup when we needed her. She sent photos and nice summaries about their time together. Look forward to using her again!”


6. Ellen F.

“Awesome!!”


7. Donald R.

“Donald was incredible!! I’d recommend him to anyone and everyone! He was helpful and accommodating. I appreciated the photos he posted after each walk which helped ease my anxiety of keeping my new dog at home alone while at work.”


8. Molly M.

“Molly was AMAZING! She stepped right in when I contacted her last minute with short notice for help to have someone walk my pup. Biscuit immediately connected with her because of her gentle and kind spirit. I definitely recommend booking Molly!!”


9. Nicole W.

“Nicole is the absolute best! She’s punctual, caring, honest, and trustworthy. We really appreciate having Nicole take care of our pets needs when we are not able to. I would recommend Nicole to anyone that has a need for a Dog walker, or a pet sitter.”

“Toni was wonderful. She was sweet and both of our dogs loved her as soon as she arrived. I would definitely book with her again”


12. Samantha M.
“Sam watched our older, very particular dog once during work and we appreciated her so much that we asked her to stay with him the weekend we got married! We appreciated knowing that our boy was taken care of. We got lots of updates and pictures while we were gone and felt like we could enjoy our wedding!”


13. Bailey P.
“We have three dogs and are very particular with who we trust to care for them. There’s a difference between someone who drops in for business and someone who drops in and cares for your pup as she does her own. Bailey’s nurturing, heart of gold is unmatched. Bonus for us, she also works in the medical field. She is smart and detailed oriented. We are lucky to have Bailey. If needed for an overnight, you can rest assured that you will come home to happy pups and an emasculate house!”


14. Victoria T.

“Torrie was great. We were looking for someone who could do alittle running with our girl Candy and Vickie filled the bill! Professional yet friendly. A keeper.”


15. Dana G.
“I have had the pleasure of working with Dana several times and she is the best! From our first interaction, it was clear that she was responsible and genuinely cares about animals. She provided regular updates and photos, which reassured me while I was away. My dog was always happy and well-cared-for, returning home healthy and content. Dana's reliability is unmatched—she always arrived on time and followed all of my instructions perfectly. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter!”


16. Alyssa M.
“I have known Alyssa for over four years, and there is no one I trust more to watch my two German Shepherds. When I leave my dogs with Alyssa, I can rest assured they will get lots of love, pets, and well-deserved treats from the training she incorporates into her time with them. Alyssa is truly a lover of all dogs, and it shows whenever she is around them, and all dogs seem to love her too.”


17. Errow B.
“I’ve trusted Errow to watch my dog on several occasions. Either if it’s a two day roadtrip or a weeklong vacation my dog and cat always come back very happy. Errow provides love and care to my pets and I can trust them with my pets 100%.”




18. Jessica G.

“On time, respectful, relatable, and considerate. Def recommend!!”


19. Vanessa N.

“By far the best walker I’ve had. She gives my dog extra attention and makes sure she always is taken care of! Would recommend to anyone!”


20. Michelle P.

“Michelle was excellent! She walked my two dogs twice in one day and even helped me deal with an unexpected visit from a service technician while she was at my home. She was very responsive and kept me updated on the pups. I highly recommend Michelle and will be booking again!”
