1. Lindsay W.
“Lindsay walks my 1.5 yr old Tibetan spaniel and is so intuitive to his wants. He doesn’t always like to walk outside (and doesn’t need to) and instead prefers to play or just get belly rubs and she follows his lead. Lindsay has been so helpful in making sure my Bandit has company while I am work. I highly recommend her!”

“Natasha is very responsive and great w Sally!!”
3. Silvia M.
“I can't recommend Silvia more! Silvia has been an absolute lifesaver in caring for my two cats, Rumi and Chiquita, whenever I'm away. Not only do they ensure my cats are well-fed and cared for, but they also go above and beyond to spend quality time with them, making sure they feel loved and comfortable. It's clear that Silvia truly cares about animals—they send regular updates, photos, and even notice the little details about my cats' behavior and preferences. Knowing that my pets are in such good hands gives me incredible peace of mind when I have to be away from them. If you're looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring pet sitter, look no further! Thank you, Silvia, for taking such great care of my fur babies!”

6. Rochelle V.
“Rochelle is a star. She's trustworthy, caring and is a truly loving caregiver. She's my go-to sitter for my golden, Benji, and takes care of him like he's her own! Sometimes he even seems sad to leave...so I'm confident that she would do an amazing job with any pet.”
7. Hennessy V.
“Hennessy has been wonderful! I have an older 75+ lb pitmix who is a big love but due to his breed and size can be intimidating to some people. She was immediately comfortable with him and I feel relieved that my boy has someone who can help me with him. I work in a restaurant and need help on weekends and when I work doubles. She's been so great about my schedule and has been helpful when he was have tummy troubles, even giving him extra time in his walk and giving poop reports. She's been just amazing and I'm so lucky to have her helping me out. My boy is in good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Zach has helped us out several times, including new year’s weekend, to this weekend. they’ve been extremely kind, respectful, and so supportive and thoughtful of what Lucy has needed during each walk. they’ve braved the rain and the chill for her sake and gives her a fun experience each time. She has made many friends at the dog park where they take her. Currently she’s working within medical parameters so they've been able to accommodate that too, and continues to pay attention as to what might make her feel more comfortable. Really grateful for Zach’s help and support! Lucy’s looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday.”
