“Christine is fantastic. So friendly and caring to our pup and even managed to be nonplussed by the two neighborhood dogs deciding to join in on the walk! Highly recommend her.”
3. Jordyn L.
“Jordyn has changed our dog for the better. Before Jordyn, our dog didn't sit on my lap except in the car. Now - he will, and lay on my tummy when I'm lying on the sofa. You brought out the best in Toledo and we are so happy. Toledo loves you - the moment you showed up for a walk Toledo's tail couldn't stop. Besides- you are always on time and wonderful to connect with. We are so glad we found you. ❤️”

Wing there for me and Tucker!”
