“Jessica was great, she contacted me about needs and expectations before scouts walk and stopped by for a meet and greet! She really cared for scout on her check in and even made sure she had plenty of water before she left! Will definitely be using Jessica again.”


“Benjamin was an awesome walker!! He was so accomodating to our chaotic situation (we're injured/sick at the moment) and handled our two girls who both have their quirks very well. Total lifesaver. Highly recommended.”


About: I have taken care of mainly cats and dogs but I will make sure every pet is safe and cared for so the owners can have a relaxing time as well. Before 8 am and after 330pm every week day. And after 12 pm every weekend. Before or at 8 am dogs are walked cats boxes and water bowls, for all animals,are cleaned and every animal is feed I make sure injuries are taken care of I have a first aid kit in my car and in each bathroom. I have emergency pet care on speed dial and wrote down allergies and medications.

“TJ is AWESOME!!!!! My dog is so excited and happy to spend time with him on his walks. I am so grateful that he has been able to give him attention and exercise while I am laid up with an injury.”



About: I have owned diabetic dogs and one with epilepsy. Friends and coworkers always ask me to watch their furbabies because they know how good my husband and I are with our own. They trust us and coming from someone who rarely traveled and when I did I took them with me because I don't trust others would take care of them like I do. I understand the anxiety that comes with having to leave them behind for whatever reason. Knowing they will be loved and have fun makes it that much easier for both you and your pet. Safety and security are also most important to us so rest assured they will be okay. I'm a stay at home mom and my husband's business is from home so we are both always here. We never leave for more that 3 hours due to our 2 dogs. I have a fenced yard with lots of room to run around. My brother also lives across from me and has over an acre of running room as well if needed. My husband and I work from home and are always available. We used to have dogs with medical issues and couldn't really leave them with anyone. My husband and I love animals and know how hard it is to leave them anywhere. Even at petsmart hotel they stay inside a small area and the play area isn't that big. We work from home and are never away longer than 4 hours. We have a 2 year old who is really good with the dogs as well but Rest assured we never let her play with them unattended. We have a large yard for dogs and know that they will be taken care of and loved while visiting us. All pets need love and attention. Even pet hotels leave them alone overnight and the thought of them having to hold it or use it in their space to feel ashamed is aweful. With us you get peace of mind and that's priceless In my home they will be treated like our own. They can play outside as long as they want. They scratch on the door ahead. They want in or out. They sleep inside on our bed with us of course. We want them to sleep wherever they feel comfortable. My dog buddy sleeps in his cage when he stays with others because he feels safe there so we understand everyone is different.

“Gabriella is incredibly patient and friendly, always taking the time to make sure my pup feels comfortable and happy. She goes above and beyond to provide plenty of exercise. My dog absolutely loves her walks and comes back so much more relaxed and content. Highly recommend Gabriella for anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog walker/pet sitter! 😊”

“My doggie is a shiba inu (his name is Hawk) who is very particular and has quite the personality. He does not allow people he doesn't know get to close to him or pet him. Usually it will take weeks for Hawk to warm up to someone. But with Juan he warmed up to him after the first walk AND he let's him pet him. And I thinks that's great and a testament of his treatment to the doggies.”
