Stephanie had done a wonderful job walking my dog, Mikey! She was very communicative and left great notes and pictures during his walks. He can be energetic, but she really handled his wild side without any problem. I could tell that she has a real love for dogs and felt like she was taking care of Mikey the way she would her own pup.

Tyson is 9 years old and lost his best friend Chyna when he was 7. He regularly goes to doggy daycare, dog parks and walks but this was the first time I saw him this happy, playful and excited around another dog since Chyna. CoCo made his day. The dog walker and his partners were excellent and funny too! I really enjoyed them as much as Tyson did. They definitely will get my services ♥️

Maria has done so many walks for my dog. I was left in a pinch as I had to find a new sitter and started a job in-person far away 3-4 days a week after remote work for 4 years. Maria has been extremely timely with communication, very detailed with walk updates, focused on safety, and super flexible with my ever changing schedule while I start the new job. She has been a lifesaver and makes me feel at ease knowing my dog is being cared for while I’m away.

Meg was great with my dog, Capone, and he seemed very comfortable with her. I appreciated her transparency when she let me know about an incident where an off-leash dog ran up aggressively to Capone, triggering a reaction. I will definitely use Meg again for walks!

Mikah has been a life saver. I booked her at the last minute and she was very responsive to my questions. She arrives on time and my pup seems to love her. No complaints. Will definitely be using her as much as possible.

Harriti was great with my pup, Jackson. He is a big boy and reactive towards other dogs. Harriti had no problem on his walks and correcting any bad behavior with positive reinforcement. If you have a Pitbull or bully bread, i highly recommend!

Rhonda was fabulous with my nervous, senior rescue dog! Rhonda was so attentive and loving with my usually stand-offish dog that my dog was playing fetch in the park and didn't even notice I was out of town. Rhonda had great communication throughout my trip. I can't wait to have Rhonda watch my dog again!
