1. Kody R.
“Kody walked our dog Mac for several months. He was reliable and very responsive through texting and was always on top of his schedule for when he could/couldn’t walk our dog. Kody is the exact type of person you want to have taking care of your furry loved one!”
2. Madison B.
“Madison did an awesome job taking care of my guy and getting him out on walks! She gave regular updates throughout and made me feel assured he was in good hands…highly recommend!”
3. Natalie L.
“I couldn't be happier to recommend Natalie as a dog sitter! First and foremost, she loves animals and treats those in her care as if they were her own. With Natalie, your dog is getting so much more than just a feed-and-walk routine a couple times a day. Natalie always makes sure our dog has plenty of play and petting time, which I appreciate because she's got a lot of energy to spare! Also, thankfully, she is willing to indulge me with a picture or update if I ask. It's such a joy to see how much our dog loves hanging out with Natalie, too. Having her watch my dog is truly a no-brainer!”
