I can't enough good things about Matt. He's upbeat and friendly to Truman and myself. When walking, he gets updates from friends in the neighborhood and keeps me abreast. Besides walking, he's fed my fish and did small things around the house for me. Truman loves him and I get to speak to him after his walk.

Megan is absolutely phenomenal! From the first day she met Sasha I could tell she was a pro! Megan is attentive to Sasha, she always gives me great updates and pictures every day! She communicates anything that may be off for that day so I know what to expect when I get home! She takes Sasha on great adventures around the neighborhood and Sasha always looks so happy! Megan is very mindful of our schedule and makes sure she communicates any changes wrll ahead of time and is so flexible with my schedule! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Megan but I have recommended her to other friends and would encourage anyone reading this to book her! She is the best!!

About: Hi! My name is Taylie, and I’m passionate about dogs and their well-being. I have hands-on experience raising and training my own puppy, Winston, a high-energy hound mix. I understand the unique challenges of puppy care—potty training, leash manners, socialization, and handling that endless energy! I specialize in working with puppies and young dogs, ensuring they get not just exercise, but also structure and enrichment on every walk. Whether your pup needs a fun adventure, a slower-paced sniff walk, or some basic training reinforcement, I tailor each walk to their needs. I also have experience with large breeds and high-energy dogs, so whether you have a playful puppy or a strong puller, I’ve got it covered. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priority! What I Offer: ✔️ Puppy-friendly walks with training reinforcement (sit, recall, loose-leash) ✔️ Socialization walks for young dogs ✔️ High-energy exercise for active breeds ✔️ Patience and care for shy or nervous pups ✔️ Reliable, trustworthy service with regular updates and pictures I’d love to help your pup get the exercise and attention they need! Feel free to reach out with any questions. • Weekdays (Mon-Thu): • Afternoons • Evenings • Fridays: • More open availability • Weekends (Sat & Sun): • Offer full availability—mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I have a high-energy puppy, Winston, and a cat, Cruze, so I’m very familiar with meeting different pet needs! I make sure Winston gets plenty of exercise, enrichment, and training throughout the day. We go on daily walks, work on obedience and recall, and I provide structured playtime to keep him engaged. For Cruze, I ensure he has a stress-free environment, fresh food and water, and regular play sessions. I also balance their routines to keep both pets happy and comfortable together. Because I manage a puppy and a cat at home, I understand the importance of patience, routine, and tailoring care to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s potty training, socialization, or giving pets a comfortable and safe space, I always put their well-being first!

Sam is the BEST! She watched our 3 dogs while we were on vacation for 10 days. She’s a natural with animals, they all immediately loved her. She was so calm and confident that she would be fine with the 3 of them and she was. She kept in touch with us while we were away, sent photos and made us feel so comfortable. Upon return home the house was neat and clean, and all of the dogs were clearly loved and spoiled while we were away. We quickly booked her for our next trip!

We are so grateful for Abby! She has a very flexible schedule and is able to walk Sadie when we need. She is very communicative and lets us know when she is on the way and leaving with any other updates from the walk. The first week we booked her, Sadie wasn’t feeling well and took good care of her and kept us updated on how she was doing! It made us feel much better about leaving her at home. Not to mention Abby is great with Sadie! We will definitely book walks with her again! Thank you Abby!

About: I’ve always lived with cats and dogs and have always had a special place in my heart for all animals. I graduated in veterinary assistance in 2019 and work at an animal hospital! I currently work almost 10 hour days so if your pup is not OK being alone that long I might not be a good fit for them! I would love to pet sit on the side as well as take any pet for walks! I see your pet as family and will treat them as so, making sure they don’t go hungry, cold or lonely! I have volunteered at my local shelter walking and helping with dogs and cats as well. I can even simply check in on any reptiles and smaller furry friends like hamsters and bunnies as well! I have experience with fur babies who have anxiety, cancer, joint problems, seizures and much more, with that being said I am experienced in having to give medications and pay extra close attention! Please don’t hesitate to contact me! I would love to meet your fur baby!!! ❤️
