“Brianna was great! It was my first time using any dog walking service and she was very helpful explaining how she usually does things and talking me through the process. She was super sweet with Nero and he seemed very happy”

“Kristen has been amazing with my dogs. She communicates clearly, is always punctual, and always lets me know ahead of time if our schedule needs to change. She’s truly a pleasure to work with, and I trust her completely with my pets.”

“This was my first time working with Meredith and I was very impressed with her professionalism and communication. Although she experienced an emergency and had to postpone, she notified me right away, which allowed me to make alternate arrangements without issue. Her responsiveness and reliability gave me confidence, and I would not hesitate to book her again.”

“We’ve had a wonderful experience working with Lucy. She is consistently punctual and professional, which gives us great peace of mind. One of the things we appreciate most is the care and thoughtfulness she shows during each visit. She often brings her dog, Finn, along to play with our dog, Hazel, and the two of them have become great friends. It’s clear that Hazel looks forward to their time together—she gets so excited every time Lucy arrives. Lucy goes above and beyond in making sure Hazel is happy, exercised, and well cared for. Her reliability, kindness, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional dog walker. We’re truly grateful to have found her and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet.”
“Kristen was great. She made sure to ask if Roman had any special needs. I gave her a quick load down of instructions regarding Roman and she followed to the T. Roman can’t wait to see her again! Thank you Kristen.”

Kristen has been walking our dog Nikita these past few weeks and has been wonderful. Nikita is always excited to see her and comes back tired. Kristen is a great communicator and has been really flexible with us. We look forward to working with her for many walks to come!

I enjoyed working with Anna she is amazing, she was like an angel that helped me with Nola when I was having a really rough and overwhelming time. She has beautiful and calm spirit. Nola enjoyed her and looked forward to walks with her everyday. I highly recommend her. Thank you Anna.

Yoko is a caring and professional caretaker. She made time to meet our dogs and learn our routine before her assignment. She was on time every day and great at communicating what she did with the dogs. We will definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to you and your pets.
