“I can’t begin to describe how grateful I am for Taryn and how incredible she was with my boy Jace! I had a girls weekend booked months ago for this past weekend and during that time my boyfriend received his Navy orders and is away on leave. I needed someone confident with larger dogs with tons of energy and Taryn was the perfect fit! She is kind, communicative and incredible with dogs. 10/10 would book again!”
“Allie is fantastic! When she showed up for our meet-and-greet, she was extremely thorough and took her time to ensure that she was able to record all important information about my dog. She promptly responds to messages and easily established a great rapport with my dog. She is now my #1 go-to when I need someone to take care of my dog when I am unable to!”

“Tiara was great at checking in before her first walk with Rocky. She arrived and asked good questions about where to find all of his things, and how to handle running into other dogs on their walk. Rocky had lunch, a nice walk, and got to play with all of his puzzle toys with Tiara! We’ve already booked our next walks with her.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 8 years old. But my love for animals started before that. I have loved animals since I was born. I do know how to take care of the unusual pets as I have had Llamas and horses along with chickens. Now those are just the farm animals I also know how to care for our scaly friends and our tiny fluffy friends. I’m currently going to school part time so I have plenty of time on my hands to take care of your pets and all their needs of what that may be. I will feed and take care of their every day needs along with the fact that I will play with your animals and give three as much love as they want.

“Liz is FANTASTIC. Scheduling and communication were very easy. My dog is shy and fearful around new people, but he warmed up to Liz immediately. She knew exactly how to approach him and pick up on his cues and make him feel comfortable. Highly recommend.”
About: As a mom and personal trainer, staying active and nurturing others is a big part of who I am—so dog walking fits perfectly into my lifestyle! I’ve had pets my whole life and truly enjoy being around animals. Dog walking allows me to combine my love for animals with my active routine, whether it’s getting outside for some fresh air, keeping up a good pace, or enjoying a peaceful walk with a furry friend. It’s not just a task for me—it’s a rewarding and natural part of my day. I only work a few hours a week so I’m available and flexible most days! 24 hours notice is best but I can sometimes do day of if I’m available. I know how hard it can be to trust someone else with your pet. So I will always treat your pet with as much love and care as my own!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have been working at a shelter the last 4+ years where I walk, feed, play with, and care for all types of dogs. Big and small!
