“Kevin has been walking our dog, Obi for a few weeks now. He’s always been on time and has great availability. We’ve had a few last minute (night before) bookings and he’s usually always happy to help. It’s great coming home to a tired dog and trusting that he’s getting taken care of while we are at work”

About: I’m a 29 y/o dog lover, subscriber to We Rate Dogs emails, and fun fact: I once did a photoshoot that helped my friend get free Milkbone and Pupperoni! I’m a photographer, so you can expect a photoshoot of your dog. I unfortunately don’t have a dog of my own due to frequent travel and late nights at my job, but when I do have free days I’d love to keep your best boy or girl company! I recently was let go from my full time job so I’m home or on walks most of the day. Some nights I will also be working concerts which can be late nights, but these will be blocked in advance. I like to go out on walks frequently. My goal is to keep your bestie as comfortable as possible while you’re away and will be respectful of your time and home as well.

16. Danielle Grace G.
“Dani is very good with pets and cares for them as family. To her, they’re part of her world and give them her love an attention. Your precious pets will be treated as family.”
17. Richard M.
About: I have the ability to communicate with all animals since I was 3 yrs old. I have learned a lot in my lifetime when encountering with animals and what they have said to me. I also can help with any issues that an animal might have or need. I deal mostly with cats, but I have worked with various dogs in the past. My schedule is very flexable as I work part time in the spring through fall doing pruning for people and I do shoveling for a landscape company in the wintertime. I treat all animals as if they were my own. I let them be themselves and watch and observe what they do and what they should not be doing. I interact with them to make them feel like I'm the new member to their family. I currently have 8 cats, mostly all strays. I have a 3 legged cat in my group as well as 2 that just turned 1 yr old.
18. Jason N.
“Jason loves dogs and is a friend to all animals. Your pet will be happy to spend time with him. He is also a great parent to his own happy, lovable pup.”

20. Molly S.
“Molly is a devoted friend, partner, daughter and pet mom. She holds her family, friends and pets in very high regard. I would not hesitate to leave a pet, child or, elderly parent in her care..Thank you for this opportunity to re-evaluate my friendship with Molly. It has been a nice reminder of what an awesome person she truly is.”
