“I’ve known Elin since 2016 and she never fails to amaze me with her kind heart, passion, and dedication towards the things she loves. She currently has two dogs, Wenji and Michelle, whom she adores both so much. I admire her care and diligence towards her pets, and animals overall. She was great help to me when I first became a dog mom in 2023. Her skills and guidance on caring for pets eased my anxiety as a first-time dog owner. Elin is the most patient, caring, and supportive friend I have ever met. She is an amazing pet caregiver and I will always look up to her.”

“It was lovely to meet Janelle. She was right on time for our meet and greet, stayed long enough to get all important information, asked good questions and was gentle and kind with my senior dog.

Our dog gets so excited every time she shows up, and we love the updates and pictures they send during their walks. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats our puppy like her own. We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter and walker—highly recommend!””
10. Mayra E.
“Mayra was great! She met with me before the engagement to meet my dogs and make sure she knew what they needed, and communicated after each walk. Best of all, both of my guys were relaxed and happy to see me without being frantic when I got back. That's the real sign of a great sitter. Will definitely use again.”
