1. Marina S.

“Marina was fantastic with Jasper, and very helpful and willing to walk him at the last minute. We brought Jasper home on a weekend and had not yet set up services with a regular dog, so it was a bit of an emergency and Marina was very understanding and warm with him! From the pictures she sent each day, he looked like he was having a great time with her. Jasper would love to spend time with Marina again, anytime!”


2. Sammi M.

“Sammi was awesome taking care of our little dog. Her open communication, punctuality, and attentiveness were greatly appreciated. So glad we made a connection with her.”


3. Tim B.

“We had a fantastic experience with Tim. We reached out to book availability, Tim briefly came over to visit with us and our dog, he asked thoughtful questions and got details around walks and feeding before starting care later in the week. Tim was very punctual and communicative. We got great pictures and videos daily and our dog seemed super happy! We will be using him again next month.”


4. Daniel N.

“I was impressed with Daniel right from the start! He is a very humble, respectful, responsible, kind young man who loves animals. My dog Sophie immediately took to him and she would have great walks with him. I asked a lot from Daniel when I went on holiday…and he delivered! He came to my home for 10 days to not only walk my dog but also feed her…give her medicine, and as a bonus, he played with her. Socializing w Sophie went a long way because she was alone most of the time. He would always be on time and, when another dog walker canceled, he quickly covered that shift. No questions or higher charge. He sent a lot of photos too. Since I’ve been back from my holiday, I’ve been in poor health. I texted Daniel and he is now my dog walker on days when I’m unable to take Sophie out myself. Again, punctual & always thinking about what’s best for my dog…. For example, He remembers to dry Sophie’s paws when they arrive from a walk in the snow or rain. I highly recommend Daniel as your dog walker or sitter.”


5. Ana S.

“Ana was a great communicator and sounds like my pup had a good time!”


6. Suphaphattra S.

“Very dependable and my dog adores her.”


7. Maria T.
“I would recommend Maria for any pet sitting situation you might have a need for. Maria is very responsible, conscientious and reliable. Maria has great organizational skills and can be counted on to solve any issues that may come up!, Entrusting your beloved pet in Maria’s care will put your mind at ease! I have been able to enjoy our away from home knowing our ‘fur babies’ are being taken care of so well!”


8. Isabelle O.

“Isabelle walks my goldendoodle furchild every day and she’s such an important part of Maya’s life. To start, she’s super communicative and reliable, which makes it really easy to plan and coordinate walks and dogcare with her. She was also great about learning what behaviors we try to reinforce, Maya’s habits and routines and what Maya eats, which gives me the warm and fuzzies that as a parent, aunt Isabelle is staying consistent with dad’s rules. Isabelle is so great with dogs and has good judgment generally; seeing how she interacts with Maya and hearing her describe how Maya did on a given walk, I trust her implicitly. Lately she’s been really helpful in figuring out fun new walking routes or destinations that cater to Maya’s interests and mood and energy level. Yep Isabelle is a wonderful dog “auntie” and just a delightful human being. I don’t know what her advertised rates are on here, but you should pay them and then some. Isabelle, get after it girl. Charge people what you’re worth! ?”


9. Aly S.

“Aly has been a huge help to our family! Our sweet boy can be a little introverted at times, and Aly has really helped him feel comfortable, loved, and safe in his new neighborhood. She’s extremely communicative and responsible. We’re so grateful to have found her!”


10. Riley S.
“Riley grew up with many pets and I have seen firsthand how much he cares about them. Every animal he interacts with is well loved by him and adores him.”


11. Lexy & Robert C.

“We had a great experience with Lexy and Robert! They came by to do a meet and greet first and we felt really comfortable with them walking Motu. They were so communicative and left great write-ups post walk.”




12. Aislyn R.

“Ayslin is a wonderful, dog loving and reliable walker. Tucker loves his daily walk with her. We love the reports and pictures she send every day. We highly recommend her!”


13. Julia M.

“Julia accepted the request at the last minute and she was very friendly with Truffle and took longer walks than scheduled, and very responsive on communication. I would definitely use her service again.”


14. Jamie S.
“Jamie has been a loving pet owner since she was a young child. We, as a family, have always had pets she helped us care for. I told her when she was old enough to get her own that she would have to be ready to care for any animal she brought home to her family. She stepped up her care of the family animals and searched out the pet she wanted. When she finally found Dahlia, she was a loving and caring pet owner. She is extremely compassionate and responsible as a pet owner. She works from home so she has the time to be involved and interact with an animal throughout the day. Any animal who finds itself in Jamie’s care will be well cared for and well loved.”


15. Sophia D.

“Sophia was amazing. Cared for our Wylie and always shared pictures and an update on her time with him. I highly recommend Sophia the next time you need pet care.”


16. Joey C.
“Joey has been taking care of my puppy on and off for 7 months and I highly recommend him. He is caring and fun, energetic and loving. He is responsible and dedicated, and flexible with timing which is also a plus!”


17. Mya G.
“I have known Mya for a year now and she is my go to dog walker and overnight sitter whenever she is in town (back from college). She is absolutely amazing with my geriatric mutt. Super friendly and responsible; always responding to texts and letting us know how the dog is. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who is looking for an animal loving, friendly, and mature dog sitter/walker.”


18. Teresa V.
“"I cannot recommend Teresa enough! She has been an incredible caretaker for my FIV-positive cat King Richard, who requires extra love, daily medication, and a special diet. She is always attentive to his specific needs and ensures he receives the best care possible. What I appreciate most is her deep knowledge of feline behavior—she not only takes wonderful care of my cat but also shares helpful insights and tips that have made a real difference in his well-being. Her compassion and expertise give me complete peace of mind whenever I have to be away. If you're looking for a pet sitter who truly goes above and beyond, Teresa is the one!”


19. Sophie C.

“Sophie has been excellent and our dog absolutely loves her! She is kind and considerate and we know our dog is in good hands when Sophie comes over. Would totally recommend her as a dog walker to anyone!”


20. Ben O.

“Ben and his daughter are amazing duo. They were super prompt in responding and had a flexible schedule. Would recommend!”
