I was able to book Troy on short notice, which was very helpful. He was prompt, friendly, and my dog was instantly comfortable with him. I’d definitely recommend Troy and plan to book him again in the future!

Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!

Christina is the absolute best when it comes to caring for dogs. She has a deeply caring and empathetic heart and puts their well-being first. She makes sure they always get nice long walks to tucker them out and plenty of snuggles and pets. She's very organized and makes sure she attends to everything you ask. If you haven't made a checklist for her, she's probably made one herself. Would absolutely trust her with any dog!

Look no further for an amazing dog walker! From the moment I met her, it was clear that her focus was not on meeting me but getting to know my dog. Which is exactly what I want!! Can’t wait for future walks with her, and Mochi was smitten the moment she pet him.

About: I previously worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, so I have experience with basic training, bathing, and care for dogs ranging from 3 month old puppies to senior dogs. I also had a senior dog myself and I am very familiar w administering medications and senior care. I’m currently working part time, and I usually work monday, wednesday, friday, saturday from 11:30 to 6 and i’m available all day tuesday, thursday, and sunday! But if you reach out to me 3 or more weeks ahead of time i can request work time off for you! I love dogs more than anything, and it’s my top priority to make sure they’re fed, let outside, played with, and shown love exactly how you want them to be.

About: My husband and I love dogs. With two people we can guarantee flexible scheduling and the best care. We own three dogs, one of which has had some past aggression issues, so have experience with behaviors. We have grown up around dogs and willingly choose to surround ourselves with them now. We would love to be there for your dogs as well, when you cannot be :) I have open availability during the summers, and keep school hours during the school year, My husband alternatively has multiple days off during the week. We care for pets by providing for their physical and emotional needs but also respecting their boundaries and watching for visual cues they may be giving about their emotional state.
