He was super communicative before the booking, and sent detailed updates and great photos the whole time we were away.”

That alone told me everything I needed to know. She was extremely thorough with communication, planning, and following care instructions. Megan sent me regular updates with photos/videos and I felt so happy to know my dog was also happy. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Meredith has watched our dog Toby twice now and both times she has sent great updates and taken really wonderful care of him. She makes everything very easy and we know Toby is well taken care of.”
About: I’ve wanted a dog ever since I could remember. At 16 years old, my dream finally came true and my family was blessed with our wonderful Maltese, Toby. He is now turning 12 years old this year! In addition to having experience with my own dog, many friends and family have asked me to take care of their fur babies. I’ve had experience with dogs as old at 16 years old and others as young as less than a year - I absolutely love them all! Saturdays and Sundays are free! I work 9am-5pm on the weekdays, Mondays and Fridays I work remote. Tuesday through Thursday I am in office, but my husband will be home to help. I live on the second floor of a condo, so no need to wait for an elevator to get outside! We also have a huge balcony if your fur baby just wants to get some fresh air. If we are in your home, I will make sure to follow all rules and ask questions if I’m unsure about the safety of your pet.
“Tim and Mary took such great care of Spud! He got lots of walks and play time. Tim was communicative and sent lots of pictures! We’d trust them with our dog any time.”
“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”
“Elizabeth was amazing with Bentley! She was also very proactive in providing updates and responsive when we communicated. I felt very comforted to have my sweet dog in Elizabeth’s fantastic care during my trip.”
“Emme had such a great time. Sabrina was communicative and flexible which really helped us out! Emme loved going to the dog park, playing with Murphy and snuggling up! Thank you guys.”
“Gabriela has always been great with Roxy, wholeheartedly trust her to watch our sweet dog and I will definitely be reaching out again in the future :-)”
“Criza sat our dog for almost two weeks in her home. This was our first time having our dog boarded and Criza was fantastic! She was communicative before and during the booking, providing daily updates and photos. Luna had a great time with photos of her sleeping on Criza, playing in multiple parks, walking around town, and lounging around the house. I also really appreciated her flexibility and support managing drop off and pick up as we navigated international travel.”
“Beth was responsive and sent great updates. The pickup and drop off was easy and our dog loved having a companion. If needed, we would not hesitate to book with Beth again.”
“Megan and Madeline were absolutely fantastic! They took exceptional care of Layla for one week. Communication was great. Layla was super happy being with them. I definitely trust having Layla in their care. I have already scheduled a time for them to take care of Layla again. Thank you!”
“From the meet and greet to drop-off, Amy was so great. She’s super kind and communicative and I loved the updates. I felt very safe and comfortable leaving my pup and will definitely be booking again :)”

“Gregory is excellent! He helped us with a last minute cat sitting emergency, and managed to administer multiple types of medication to a sick, elderly cat upon first meeting her - not an easy task at all!

“This was my first time having Jacquelyn watch my cats and it was a great experience!! She gave great updates while I was away and was super responsive.

“Hallie is a wonderful cat sitter! She sends lots of photos, leaves detailed updates, and confirms critical instructions.

“Thank you SO much for taking her on last minute - this was such a tremendous help, and knowing great folks like you can help step in when in need makes fostering possible! I’m thrilled to hear Ivy opened up to you and let her snuggle bum side show, and thank you for re introducing the wet food as well!”

We will definitely be booking her again, Nico will miss her!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs since I was very young, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a pug, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to look after their pets, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently in my last semester of nursing school! My classes are online, and I only have one in-person clinical day per week, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available for doggy daycare, boarding, and walks throughout the week and can usually accommodate different drop-off, pick-up, and walk times. 🐾 Safety is always my top priority. I grew up with dogs and currently have a sweet pug, so I’m very comfortable handling pets of all sizes and personalities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always make sure dogs are supervised, fed on schedule, and kept in a safe environment. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed, follow any routines you prefer, and give your pup plenty of love and attention while you’re away.
“Once again, Christian knocked it out of the park! Jo Jo and Corduroy were thrilled to learn they were going back to their friend’s house today and they can’t wait to go back. Thank you for your excellent care today, Christian!”

“Noah has been great with our dog Toph, who can be a handful. He’s very responsive and follows our detailed instructions well. We are thankful to have his help.”
“This was my dog’s first walk with Youlee. My dog was nervous at first but when she came home she was so happy! Youlee was on time and sent lots of photos and videos. I’ll definitely hire her again.”
“Thomas was wonderful to work with when my dog needed some weekday walks! Thomas sent the cutest pictures and detailed notes, and it was clear from day one that my pup felt happy and safe with him. I’d love to have Thomas care for my dog again soon!”
“OMG Frankie adores Jacquelyn. He gets up and sits in a chair at the end of the hallway waiting for the knock @ the door. He then runs down the hallway at lightening speed to greet her. At that point I am invisible and only the lady who opens the door. It’s hilarious to see them cuddling and playing as they get ready for his walk. Great job!”
“Sarah was amazing! She was great at communicating with me about how her time with Oreo was going and responded very well to a couple of unexpected situations that happened during my time away from home. I will definitely be asking her to help pet sit again!”
“Anne is amazing! Great personality, really loves dogs, and knows how to be a great leader for them. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly thoughtful dog walker.”
“I’ve been meaning to leave Dominick a review for some time and my apologies for not earlier. I’ve been using Dominick regularly for the last 8 months. My dog is always happy to see him and when I get home I know he’s had a good walk. I trust Dominick entering and exiting my house without me being there. I know based on my notifications that Dominick is always on time and he communicates very well. If I have any specific instructions whether it is to leave my dog in his crate or to give him a treat before he leaves, I know it’s been done. Typically I use Dominick’s service when I have a busy work day or traveling and he’s a tremendous help in giving my dog (a 15 month old very energetic husky) some exercise. I recommend Dominick 100 percent.”
“Yevgeniya was amazing with my dog. Gave me such peace of mind with her care, affection and attention to Bear. Was always prompt and gave solid updates. Thanks a bunch!”
“Julia literally gave our dog an extra cashmere sweater she had to keep him warm on his walks in the snow! She is incredible and has the biggest heart! Every morning Banx waits for her by the door- he can’t wait for his walks!”
“Ziggy LOVES hanging out with Michael! He's been able to take him out consistently every day for walks. Michael's very responsive & engaged. Highly recommend.”
“Emily is great. She is kind and patient. I had forgotten to leave out poop bags one day, and she picked it up using paper towels - legit!!!! Thank you for your wonderful service, Emily!!!”
“Sung was an incredible caretaker for Winnie. She and her husband sent such thoughtful, detailed updates after every walk, and it was clear they genuinely cared about her. We highly recommend them!”
“Monica is a wonderful walker. She’s taken care of our dog for several weeks and we’re so grateful. She communicates well, is very sweet with our dog and always helpful.”
“Eric is absolutely amazing. My dog is a rescue, and he’s very strong, but Eric is patient, loving, and understanding with him. We truly could not have asked for a better dog walker, and we’re lucky to have Eric.”
“Elliott is great with my large puppy who is still in training to learn not to pull. He is extremely punctual and reliable, but also flexible if I need to switch days! He is also incredible responsive to my messages and questions, and gives me a detailed summary of how my pup did on his walk. I highly recommend Elliott.”
“Lila was amazing at taking care of my puppies. My sitter cancelled last minute and she was willing to come in last minute to take care of my dogs. She was extremely communicative and kept me in the loop about the dogs throughout the entire trip. I will be booking again with her.”
“Ashley was awesome. She took care of him at his grooming recently so Cody was already familiar with her. I asked for help super last minute and Ashley was a major help and very communicative. 100% will book again”

He’s only 7 months old, still potty training, a picky eater and this was my first time leaving him with anyone else so I was EXTREMELY worried but Christina took such great care of him, ensured he was comfy at night time and could sleep well and he didn’t miss a meal which is amazing as sometimes he refuses to eat. Thank you so much Christina!”
