“Alexis was absolutely fantastic taking care of my baby Luna! Luna is only 6 months old, has a lot of energy, is not fully trained and I'm sure was a handful for someone to walk in day-one and manage, But she did above and beyond. She brought toys and puzzles, made sure Luna was fed and properly walked. She updated me on how the walks went, when she arrived and left, told me about the other dogs Luna got to meet along the walks and seemed totally joyful and sincere about spending time with my sweet girl. I will be hiring Alexis over and over in the future!”
2. Grace R.
“Grace not only cared for my pups as I would, but she made sure I was comfortable too. I tend to have anxiety leaving my dogs with people they don’t know too well, so Grace made an effort to meet us twice before we had scheduled walks (while I was away) and she sent me many, many photos and updates throughout her time with my dogs. So grateful for you Grace!!!”

“Julie was amazing with our pup. We will be booking again!!”
5. Kimberly V.
“My dog, Loretta, clearly is comfortable with Kimberly—she seems to view her time as a special vacation. Today Kimberly took on the task of helping 20# Loretta feel confident interacting with a much larger dog. Enlisting the assistance of Kimberly’s 90# lab, they walked together and then engaged in free play with close supervision and guidance. It was wonderful to see Loretta initiate play with a much larger dog. I highly recommend Kimberly for her knowledge base, informed judgment and warmth.”

“Kaley put my mind at ease and treated our furry family members with love and care. She is prompt and the dogs love her walks and tummy scratches. Kaley is my first pick when we need help with our puppies.”

About: I’ve have had dogs since I was 12. For the last decade, I've been the go-to dog sitter and trainer among my family and friends. I love working with dogs regardless of age, size, or temperament. I will work with you to insure your pups have only positive experiences with me. I’m currently a stay at home dog dad. Your dog will be under supervision at all times and will have plenty of opportunities to play, go on walks, go to the park, and get *all* the pets. I have two well socialized dogs of my own. A 9 year old female German shepherd named Lucy and a 7 month old male border collie named Lincoln. We have a fenced yard, doggie splash pad, and small pool. We also make frequent trips to various dog parks and will with your permission of course. Your dog will be allowed full run of the house if temperament allows but we have several kennels and dog proof rooms if they need space to unwind on their own.

About: Hi. I'm Jennifer and I would love to take care of your furbabies. I have three dogs of my own, whom are my children. I have a Schnauzer and two Schnoodles. My Husband and I adore our dogs, as we have no human children. I have had a dog in my life as long as I can remember. I love to walk, play with and cuddle them. I truly believe dogs are Gods gift to us. I can assure you that while you are away your Dog would be in good hands with me. I would love them and treat them as if they were my own. I really hope you give me the opportunity to get to know your baby! I am sincerely looking forward to it!

“Tricia is fantastic! She was available at super late notice, responds quick to messages and took great care of my pup. Ella loved spending time w her and she even brought my delivered packages in.

14. Samantha B.
“As a new dog caregiver, leaving my adopted pup for the first time, I couldn’t have asked for a better human than Samantha! She was kind, patient, warm and thoughtful with my pup and also with me! She understood my anxiety and was able to give me calm and detailed feedback with each visit. It was only four days away, but it meant the world to me to have someone willing to go above and beyond to make it a success for my pup and for me!”
15. Jeffery W.
About: Hi! I have tremendous experience with dogs of all sizes, I have a kickin goldendoodle named Bernie who is basically my sidekick, and I’m enjoying life as much as I can doing what I love doing to keep me happy and pay the bills. The gig economy in 2023 is a weird situation filled with difficulty finding jobs, various aspects of life destroying happiness, and difficulty keeping the lights on in some cases. Life with dogs is just easier and frankly, far more fun. I will do everything I can to ensure your family member’s safety, security, and happiness. Anything I can do to make your drop in or walk more satisfactory, I will absolutely do. And unless instructed otherwise, they’re going to immediately get a treat from me the second they see me. So. Prepare for that. I care for my dog daily as well as other family members’ dogs. I take 3 daily walks with my own dog if no other walks are scheduled. I have a fenced in yard and I have experience dealing with highly tense situations when it comes to dogs and their occasional bombastic reactions.

He watches and listens attentively to his student, human and animal friends to find out their comfort level to gain his trust. But all in all he is kind and very caring person admired and loved.”
17. Courtney W.
“Courtney was always on time and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with her! My baby loved her and got lots of exercise. She was flexible with timing and kept me updated on what was going on.”
18. Brooklyn T.
“Brooklyn has done a great job with my pup. Excellent communication and takes good care of him. She is the first person I’ve used on this app and definitely grateful I got a good person.”
19. Kortney W.
“Kortney communicates well and took great care of our pup. She took the time to come meet us before hand and made us feel very comfortable!”
20. Sophie S.
“Sophie watched over my two dogs Barnaby and Teddy last summer and she did a fantastic job! The two felt very comfortable around her, which is rare for them, since they are very attached to me. But not only did they not miss me, they were sad when they left! She was easily the best pet caregiver I have ever hired.”
