1. William G. H.
“Bill is a reliable dog walker. He was great with our dog, Bella. He was flexible when adding extra walks last minute. He is also very responsive. I highly recommend his services to others.”
2. Katrina G.
“We couldn’t recommend Katrina more! Not only did our dog love her, she was great at communication and always let us know if there was anything she noticed or was concerned about while she walked and checked in on Nutmeg. It was a relief to know that she was in good hands while we were at work.”
3. Adam H.
“Adam was great! He made the effort to come over meet with us before to learn the lay of the land. Will definitely use again!”
4. Alexis B.
“Alexis is awesome! She clearly loves and is comfortable with dogs and connected with my owner-attached dog straight away. She is super friendly and easy to work with. She also is very responsible--she was on time, listened to and executed my exercise requirements for my dog. I will definitely use her again!”
5. Natalie C.
“First time client but happy so far. Natalie seems well versed on dog care.”
6. Brittany & Mico K.
“Brittany is so flexible and accommodating, I am recovering from an injury and she was able to come on short notice. She even did a bit of jogging with my dog to help make sure he was tired. I can’t even express how grateful I am to her!”
7. Ella V.

9. Donna C.
“Donna and Stephen have truly been lifesavers over the past few weeks. They are incredibly timely and dependable, and they are always willing to help when they can. I also LOVE receiving multiple photos of my pup enjoying the walk so I know how happy he is to be out with them. Would strongly recommend this wonderful team to walk your furry friend!”
10. Andrew G.
“Andrew was able to come through when our usual sitter had a time conflict last-minute. He was very communicative, easy-going, and professional. When he noticed our dog was really enjoying the walk, he took him out for a even longer walk than was expected, and our dog was definitely feeling the love! Highly recommend Andrew.”
11. Marisol L.
“Marisol had a nice rapport with our barking Lacey on the meet and greet walk and got familiar with our routines. Hope to schedule a walk soon and a future homestay.”
12. Jason A.
“Jason was on time and took good care of our big dog on all of his walks. This was a repeat booking for us, and we’ll continue reaching out to him!”
13. Paul H.
“Excellent dog walker! I hired Paul for daily dog walks for my dog, Leo. I hired him due to an arm injury. I was very happy with the job he did. Leo loved him and was so excited every time he came over for the walk. I plan on using Paul again after my surgery.”
14. Viviana F.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I've raised two German shepherds. One has sadly recently passed, but the other is about to be 13 and still going strong! He currently lives with a sibling now. I would walk both of these larger dogs, whether they pulled or not. I also still have a 9 year old cat who loves naps and cuddles. However, he is still back home with my parents. In my childhood, I had a cat named Oreo who was grumpy and didn't enjoy pets, so I can handle pets who don't enjoy physical touch as well. Additionally, I volunteer at the C.A.R.E animal shelter on Friday mornings from 8-11 AM. Although I am still in college, I try to schedule all my classes on Mondays and Wednesdays. So, I will be readily available to take care of your pets on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays! I also have a part-time job that will require me to work every other weekend. However, I can always look to change my schedule if it is desperately needed. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I will also provide fresh water during each visit. Additionally, I will send photos and updates to ensure your dogs safety and health. Plus, I will make sure they get plenty of playtime!
15. Ariana Z.
“Ariana was great with our family dog for 3 weeks while we were on vacation. Our dog was well fed and had lots of exercise. I know because she would send pictures of our dog. I would recommend Ariana to watch any pup or dog.”
16. Sandra & Sorin A.
“Sandra and her entire family are very caring with their pets. They are treated like family. They are walked daily and interact with Sandra, her husband Sorin, and their teen kids daily. The kids have grown up with their dogs and are very respectful and caring towards them. She walked and fed my two dogs when we have needed and my dogs were perfectly cared for. Sandra would be a great pet sitter who would keep your pet safe and comfortable while you are away.”
17. Fernando & Elizabeth R.
“Our dog Harry has been going to daycare 3x a week at Liz and Fernando's for 1.5 years so far. We have also boarded him with them multiple times for a duration of 3 - 10 days. What can I say - Harry loves it there! He gets so excited at dropoff in the back of our car when he realizes we are close to their house. Liz and Fernando have an amazing outdoor space for the doggies during the warmer weather months. We get photos and videos of Harry playing with his dog friends and getting attention from the human friends. Occasionally, Harry has needed medication during his boarding (even an eye ointment) and Fernando and Liz have always been happy to apply/give him whatever medicine he has needed. Fernando and Liz genuinely love dogs and it shows through Harry's experience with them. We are so lucky they live close to us and can watch him!”
18. Nancyanne S.
“Nancyanne is completely reliable and responsive. Jake loves spending time with her and I love being able to relax, knowing that she is taking amazing care of him!”
19. Hope R.
“Hope is the definition of best dogsitter. Our pug Mushroom has so many dietary/medicinal needs that we have to force-feed him 5 different pills a day which he despises (with a fight). We were so nervous finding a new sitter after our old one moved because of this, but Hope really put our nerves to rest the first time she took care of Mushroom. Without even promoting her, Hope had asked all of the questions that need answered for a pug like Mush. I was pleasantly surprised, and after we left the two of them, Hope did an incredible job at keeping us nerve-free with her frequent communication. By the time we'd come home, Mush seemed happy and close with Hope (despite being a typically antisocial dog). He was his usual self health-wise. We really appreciated Hope's dedication to taking care of Mush and will be trusting her with Mush more moving forward!”
20. Geraldine L.
“Geraldine is an A+++ pet-sitter! I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has dog-sat our two pups for many years in her home, and they are treated like royalty--getting multiple walks and lots of love each day. Geraldine is an incredibly responsible person. She communicates well with pet owners and is always happy to provide updates when we are away. One of our dogs has fairly significant medical issues, and Geraldine is always comfortable going the "extra mile" to make sure he gets the medications and extra attention he needs. Geraldine's warmth, energy and responsible care make her a wonderful pet sitter. Your pup will be very happy with her!”
