Real stories from our happy clients and their furry friends
Thiago truly takes the best care of my little one when I’m at work or away on vacation. Incredible service and attentiveness. Highly recommend.

We have struggled to find a dog walker that we trust in NYC. Thiago has surpassed our expectations! He is incredibly loyal, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. He takes the time to walk our boys with purpose, instead of just checking the box. There is nobody that we would recommend more than Thiago, he has been such a gift to our Saint and Franklin.

Thiago is simply the best! He takes amazing care of Cedela and Mimi. His background gives me total confidence that they are in the safest hands possible.
