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.

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.

Julian has taken care of many dogs in the past including one of his family dog called Juno which he called June bug. He has always been very perceptive of June bug needs and always thought about June bug before any event we went to. During our 4th of July celebration Julian notice June bug wasn’t handling the fire works well and opted to leave the party early in order to make her more comfortable at home. Julian is a very dedicated and responsible person and I would definitely recommend him for this position.

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: I’ve cared for and raised dogs since I was about 13 years old, I come from a family of 4+ dogs, and have been taking care of them and other family pups for about 15-16 years and I love it! Allow me to help care for your beloved pup whenever you need and trust that he’ll be in the Best hands, a true care-giver! I have a lot of extra free-time on my hands right now because of my remote job, with all the freedom I figured why not get into more of what I already love. I’m free 3-4 days through the week. I care for pets exactly how the owners’ expectations and routine requires. I like to ask what their pet requires and likes to experience, that way I’m already on the same page with them on how to exhibit the care. Outside of the owners wishes, I like to respect the pets wishes, ensure bathroom breaks, feeding meals throughout the day (depending on the pet/household), and adding in some playful activities once trust is established.

Having worked closely with Jessica for a couple years, I can confidently say that she possesses the perfect blend of responsibility, compassion, and enthusiasm needed for dog walking and pet sitting. She has great attention to detail and very knowledgeable. If there’s something she’s unfamiliar with, I have seen her research and ask questions to be sure she understands and gets it right. With Jessica, your pets are in the best hands possible.

Annie watched my dog, Gabby, for a few days and gave her constant attention and walking her through the day. She also kept me updated with frequent pictures. After our trip, she continued to walk her twice a day. Gabby also has health issues that Annie was able to accommodate for. I wouod definitely ask her to walk or care for 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.
