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 ♥️

My family was so fortunate to be introduced to Marshe and we felt comfortable from the start! Not only do my 3 dogs love her, but it is apparent how much she loves them and wants the best for them as well. Marshe always has wonderful advice and suggestions for us and is a wonderful resource for information! She is such a wonderful fit for us and we trust her with our dogs without worry or concern! My dogs are my children and I treat them as such! I am very critical of who I allow to care for them. That being said, I HIGHLY recommend Marshe! She treats my dogs as if they were her own family. She is very reliable, caring, and always goes above and beyond. My dogs adore her and that means everything to me. It is apparent from the moment you see her interact with your dog that it is not just a business to her, it is her love. In addition, her knowledge regarding all aspects of canine care is extensive and helpful. The peace of mind in knowing that my dogs are well cared for by Marshe is priceless.

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!

Angel has been caring for my cats Jiji and Binx for years, and I cannot recommend him enough! He is extremely communicative and responsive throughout the duration of your time away from your fur babies, and provides daily photo/ video updates. Angel understands the social needs of animals and ensures they get enough attention and playtime. 12/10 recommend!

About: Looking to stretch my legs and pet a bunch of dogs, is that so much to ask? Please don't tell my cat I'm on here At the moment I have a completely flexible schedule. If you have a difficult/complicated needs, then I'm totally able to work with you and your pet(s). I live with a 2 cats (Pinto is mine, pictured in my profile) and a dog-- each of which are great. Very good with high-energy animals and nervous ones alike.

Leslie was wonderful for a random day when I needed two walks for my dog. She took extra long walks and was great at communication. My chocolate lab loved Leslie and was very happy when I returned home!

Annie is fantastic! After my ankle surgery I couldn’t walk my two huskies but Annie was always there on time to walk them and they both LOVE her! They would return home happy and relaxed after their walks with Annie. I would highly recommend hiring Annie, you won’t be disappointed!

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!

Adrianne is an absolute delight. She really does just love animals. She always sends me updates with pictures of her and our dog playing or cuddling. She has a natural mothering instinct that dogs just seem to recognize. She’s very kind and easy to deal with as a caregiver and seems to do what she does out of love.

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!
