“Holiday week and work is crazy! Meredith walked porter 1.1 miles and gave him a much needed break. Thank you Meredith! I liked the pics of my dog during the walks, and I appreciated that Meredith was willing to come visit Porter a few days before walking him to let him get to know her.”



“Kitty is a dog whisperer. One of my two dogs is very shy and anxious. When Kitty arrived to take them for a walk, even after not having seen her in months, both dogs ran to her. I feel completely confident that the dogs are happy and well taken care of when I have either boarded with Kitty or had her take them for walks.”

I am very attentive to the animals moods and behaviors, while also going above and beyond to make sure they feel safe. I have dealt with sick animals, given medications, assisted in giving injections and followed food regimens. I have been bitten by several different kinds of animals, so I know how to deal with being bitten. I have plenty of energy to walk and play, and my own reliable transportation. I've done extensive research on behaviors and relationships of pets and I'm always learning. I would be happy to write daily reports and/or take pictures, whatever makes you feel at ease.
