1. Mariela D.
“Mariela is wonderful! She clearly cares about our dog, made sure to note commands we are using, and checked in with us, providing thorough, and at times hilarious,updates about our pup! My dog was really relaxed when I got home, and I could tell he had great walks all week. I would recommend Mariela to anyone in need of care for their dog friends!”
2. Ashley Elizabeth R.
“Ashley was great! She came over for an initial walk to meet our pup while we were home, at our request, before starting weekly walks during the work day. She responded very promptly and was polite and flexible. Our dog was very happy after the walk and we are very excited to keep working with Ashley.”
3. Bridget M.
“So glad we found Bridget. Our younger dog has had anxiety about walks beyond our property because he has a high sensitivity to loud noises and today Bridget was able to get him out on a good long walk. Bridget is experienced, has years of experience and my dogs both love her.”

5. Samantha S.
“Samantha was wonderful with our dog and was very good with communicating and even made him some ice to enjoy while we were gone since it was so hot out. Will be using her services again(:”
6. Melanie M.
“Melanie was my neighbor back in Florida for several years. She has a natural affinity with animals and loves them. I would regularly have her watch my calico cat Callie. Callie loved being with Melanie, she would instantly start purring when she saw her. Melanie's care and nurturing was top notch. Callie was always safe and loved. I wouldn't hesitate to leave any of my precious fur babies with her.”

She gave me updates & pictures after every walk which was awesome! I knew my dog was in great hands, I'd 10/10 recommended her to anyone & I will definitely be booking her in the future!! Thank you Helena! 😊”

“Cierra is awesome!! The most thorough and thoughtful sitter I have booked. I have a higher needs pup and she was great about working with her and following instructions. Lots of pics with Rover card and full update. Thank you Cierra!!”
16. Kimberly H.
“When Kim watched my dog Duke, she treated him just like I would. Daily walks, all my funny nicknames, constant pictures, doing some of my dog's quirky routines with him. I really believe my buddy felt like he had the same friend over. And I don't think it's a job for her. She really loves going out and being outside with dogs.”
17. Alyx M.
“Great walk on late notice. I would highly recommend Alyx! I will definitely use Alyx again!”
18. Catherine L.
“Catherine has been an amazing caregiver for my two cats on multiple occasions. I would highly recommend her because of her thorough service and much appreciated updates on my pets well being while I have been out of town.”
19. Sarah R.
About: My son and I would love to spoil your furry critters as we don't have any of our own. If it is a walk or someone to take your dog to the park we can do it. I want to teach my son the value of work and get him away from electronics! I'd appreciate your help :) At the moment schedule is open. If your puppy loves kids then maybe you'd like to wait until the afternoon when my son can join. Rain or shine we can help. My place is very small so sadly we cant keep large dogs but we have room for smaller dogs/cats for sleepovers. We don't have any animals of our so your cat/dog will get endless love from my son.
20. Carly M.
“I met Carly and her boys about two years ago. They would often care for my 5lb Yorkie Brutus. They treated Brutus with love and compassion. Brutus loved the time he got to spend with them. I appreciated their flexibility, clear communication and overall attentiveness to Brutus. I would highly recommend this family to care for your beloved pet.”
