“Look no further! I highly recommend Jessica!! She was truly a life saver when I needed a last minute dog walker for my 80lbs Pitbull and continued to hire her after their first walk! Jessica went above my expectations in making sure my pitty got a good walk/run in, did his potty, brought him treats, and made sure he ate. I really appreciated her communication with each walk. I got a detailed summary of how their walk/run went and with a photo. Those little details really go a long way!! Jessica is professional, trustworthy, and reliable! Hire Jessica!!! You won't be disappointed! :)”
