“Kianna came for meet and greet prior to walks and my lab puppy, Lily, loved her right away. Kianna provided great updates during walks and tailored walks to our puppy and the weather. Will definitely use her again.”

“Patience is the absolute best. She has watched our dog multiple times and he isn’t easy but she always makes it work! Also, last time she was here we had a horrible maintenance issue on a holiday and she let us know immediately, grabbed a neighbor for help, and called our emergency maintenance and we were so thankful she went above and beyond to keep our pup safe and our house in great shape. Thank you again!”
About: We've had pets as long as I can remember. If we didn't find them, they found us. I'm retired now and looking to share my love and experience with your fur family. I go for walks multiple times a day and enjoy outdoor activities. I'm recently retired and have nothing but time to care for your loved ones. Available any day of the week and weekends.

Her water bowl is always full and there’s always a toy around to play!

My yard is not fenced in but I have plenty of safe places to walk your dog.
“Rebecca was great with my dog Pepper, who is shy at first until she warms up to a new person. I got daily text messages about their morning walks along with photos. She also had some all natural treats for Pepper (after she asked if it was ok for her to have them). I would defiantly use Rebecca again while we are out of town.”
