“Michele is the BEST dog walker! I can’t imagine anyone better. Reliable every day - both morning and evening, dependable in all kinds of weather, kind but also firm with Philly our dog, and communicates well with me - by phone, in person, thru email and text. She’s also skilled in animal behavior and has made smart suggestions to help us train and support Philly during a more challenging time for him and our family. Thank you, Michele!”

“Austin will make a great animal caretaker! Austin has grown up around horses, dogs and cats and her love for animals started at a very young age! She understands the importance of routines and follows them implicitly while caring for animals in her charge. She takes notice to the small details and makes sure that if anything seems amiss, she is quick to address the situation.”

“Brigette is wonderful! She's very prompt in her communications, and she's wonderful with my boy Newton. This is only the second time I've used her help, but Newton gets excited when she walks in the door :) After his walk, he comes home happy and tuckered out, which is wonderful to see. I very much recommend her and will be happy to use her again when I need the extra help :)”

“From his childhood dog, Murph to his office companion, Coco, Dean has spent years caring for dogs. He’s never met a dog on his frequent walks in the neighborhood who doesn’t bend an ear or offer a paw to his request to pet, scratch or shake. Trustworthy and with an attention to detail, you can expect your pet to feel loved and cared for by Dean.”

She was always on time, kind, and attentive to the boys and their unique needs. They quickly attached to her and her great energy. We will be using her services again. Book her - your animals deserve it.”
