I have known Andrew for many years, and pretty much since I met him, he has been dogsitting my dogs. He has always done such a great job and my dogs just LOVE him. He is very dependable, honest and a genuinely goid hearted person. I can speak on behalf of his work ethic, humorous personality and his ability to follow instructions impeccably. One of my dogs is a bit tempermental when walking because she is obsessed with squirrels and skateboarders, and its a little scary to ask just anyone to walk her, but Andrew takes it seriously and is very aware of his surroundings. She also sheds a lot, yet Andrew still loves her bunches.

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Debbie to walk my beloved senior dog, Sam. Despite knowing that my dog is old and sometimes difficult, Debbie went above and beyond to ensure that my furry friend was comfortable and well taken care of during their walks. Debbie showed immense patience and compassion towards my aging dog, always taking the time to understand his needs and limitations. I could tell that my dog was in good hands and that he was genuinely cared for by Debbie. Not only did Debbie handle the challenges of walking an old and difficult dog with grace, but she also provided updates and feedback after each walk, giving me peace of mind knowing that my dog was in good hands. I highly recommend Debbie to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and skilled dog walker, especially if you have a senior or difficult dog. Thank you, Debbie, for your exceptional care and dedication to my furry family member. 5 stars all the way!

I cannot recommend Alex highly enough as a dog walker! Over the past two weeks, she has been taking care of my pup, Otis, and the experience has been nothing short of fantastic. Alex is incredibly reliable, always showing up on time and ensuring Otis enjoys his walks. Their honest and caring nature shines through in every interaction, and it's clear that they genuinely love what they do. Alex has not only been a wonderful caregiver for Otis but also a personable presence I feel comfortable with. If you're looking for someone to become a part of your pet's life, Alex is an absolute must-add to your family!

Lisa came and gave my dog a walk at last minute’s notice. She was right on time, met my dog and knew the special leash and was off. My dog liked her, and the walk went well. I’d use her again.

Every dog loves enthusiastic playmates. Phillip fits the description. He is consistently professional, friendly, helpful and always right on time. I need to feel that my older dog is safe when going out walking in our neighborhood, the city. Phillip "brings it", when he comes to see Colette...she feels at home with him and Phillip leaves the pictures to prove it. :-).

Ava is great—our pup clearly liked her and went off happily with her for his walk. She arrived promptly, listened carefully to all our instructions, asked thoughtful questions and followed through with what we asked.

Yasmine did great with Olive! This was my first time using Rover as an owner and Olive’s first interaction with someone outside her family. Yasmine was patient and understanding with Olive when she was unsure and barking at her, I am very grateful for her patience. I am also happy to book her for future walks!

Emily is so attentive and good with my animals. I have a dog and a cat and she gives each one the care they need while I’m away. I’ve never had to worry or rush home while she is with them.

Tristan is my go-to dog sitter and Monty’s absolute favorite human. My corgi honestly has more fun on a weekend with Tristan than anyone else! He takes Monty on long walks, keeps him entertained, and gives him all the love and attention. Tristan has stayed at my house multiple times, and I always feel at ease knowing Monty’s in great hands. He’s a true dog lover—easygoing, responsible, and totally unfazed by dog hair. Highly recommend!

If you want to get away for the weekend or for a week, leaving your babies has never been easier. My senior lab/german shepherd mix has extreme separation anxiety and I always worry about him when I'm away. Blake took wonderful care of him and always made sure that he took his medicine every day. Blake's friendly and caring nature assured me that my best friend was going to be just fine without me.

So far, I’ve had Alyssa’s walking service for 3 times and I am happy to have found her. With my work schedule change, I am seeking a trusting sitter whom I can turn to to make sure not only my poppers bio needs but also mental needs are met(to know that their walker takes good care of them like I do). She has helped me with additional needs gladly and I am starting to build more confidence with her as we increase the request! Her warm presence was recognized by my poppers (critical!) and this give dog mom a peace of mind. We’ll continue to work together and as she get to know more about mines, we will endeavor to more services!

About: I’ve taken care of pets for over 6 years and it makes me super happy to help in any way. I have experience with puppies to elderly pets as well. I am very active and respect of people’s spaces. Pet care fits into my schedule perfectly since I am already always outside and walking around. I have lots of different activities I do that are dog friendly as well. I treat all the pets I take care of like they were my own. With love and kindness knowing how to have them behave and fun at the same time.

Amy was such a sweet and compassionate dog walker. She took care of our golden retriever while we were away and followed all of our instructions to a tee. She also made sure to reinforce our dog training with him and maintain our same schedule/structure with him which helped keep things the same for our boy. I would highly recommend her to any of my dog momma friends
