“Elisa is awesome - super quick to respond and flexible with my ever-changing plans. Cleo was a happy pup when I came home. Looking forward to working with her in the future!!”
16. Rebecca C.
“Rebecca took such good care of our pup. She sent photos while they were on their walk and let us know that he hadn’t eaten his food the night after we left, and that his tummy was a bit upset. The dog seems glad to have us home but also seems like he had a great time hanging with Rebecca.”
17. Vidya V.
“I have known Vidya for almost 20 years and she's one of the kindest, most compassionate animal lovers I know. Dogs and cats are always welcome in her home, she makes it a point to help any animal in need. My own dog, who is 14 now, has spent a good part of his pampered life under her care. She knows how to connect with dogs and cats, she can anticipate their needs and ensure that they are safe and happy under her care. I would blindly entrust any pet with her, knowing that the animal would be completely safe with her.”
18. Sarah W.
“Frances loved her walks with Sarah!”
19. Gabriela F.
“I have nothing but great things to say about Gabriela’s service. Not only is she extremely professional and trustworthy, but she treated my dogs like they were her own. Gabriela has watched my two dogs, Ruby and Bella, multiple times now and I am always impressed with the amount of care and attention to detail she puts into her work. She really goes above and beyond, and my fur babies are always excited to see her. I would highly recommend Gabriela to anyone looking for a responsible, reliable, and loving caregiver to their pets.”
20. Jesse L.
“I have never met someone who loves dogs more than Jesse! I consistently rely on Jesse to watch my dog when I go on vacation because I know that not only will she do the basics like feeding, walking, etc., but I know my dog will get so much love and cuddles that he will barely notice I am gone. Jesse is reliable, always on time, and very trustworthy. She makes leaving my baby alone so much easier. Whether you are going away or just need an extra set of hands for your pet, I recommend going with Jesse.”
