“I don’t have enough positive things to say about Holly! She was communicative, clear and organized. She took excellent care of my two little dogs on a vacation and I appreciated her kindness and grace with them. Thank you Holly!”
“We have a mini Aussie, little anxious and stubborn. Charlie warmed up to her right away and he went for a walk with her. She is kind, patient and considerate and look forward to her looking after our Charlie. Thank you Victoria”
“Taylor was great with Roscoe. She walked him 2x per day for almost 2 weeks. Roscoe is a big 120 lb XL Bully and she handled him fine. The day before Taylor was scheduled to walk Roscoe, I had taken him hiking up to Sasquatch Mountain ski resort. I think the shale rocks caused his nails to bleed. Taylor noticed that the next day when she began walking him. She notified me of the issue and then she applied Styptic Powder to his feet and the bleeding stopped. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants a reliable and qualified dog walker.”
“Michelle is an incredible communicator, and immediately gets on board with our needs and expectations for our dog. She's warm & gentle & consistent, we truly couldn't ask for more. Greatly appreciated.”

Taylor is absolutely brilliant. I’ve had her take care of my animals twice now and she’s been absolutely exceptional. She communicates really well which puts my mind at ease while away from my fur children. I highly recommend her if you want someone who’s responsible and a true animal lover !
I highly recommend Alexia whether you have a small or large dog. Scout loved her. Each day she sent photos which I so appreciated. We had a meet up prior to me leaving and Scout took to Alexia immediately. Thank you Alexia I so appreciate the attention and care you gave my baby.
