“Kate is so wonderful!!!! I would recommend her 1000%. She is so great with my pup who can be timid and anxious. Kate just knows how to read dogs and understands them and takes time with them so that they are comfortable.”
About: Hello! My name is Skyler and I am currently a mammal trainer at an AZA accredited aquarium with a background in veterinary care. I would love to help walk your dog, whether you have certain training goals or just needing extra help while you are at work! I started my career by walking my friend’s crazy, (but adorable) puppy in high school. I was able to help train the puppy during every walk, and left her tired out when her owner got home. I am off two of the busiest days of the week- Monday and Tuesday. I have full availability to do drop ins, daycare, or dog walks! I have an unfenced yard and plenty of grass out front. I take frequent trips to my local park that has tons of room to play.
“Nicole was amazing with my dog snowy. She always comes on time, communicates with me about snow’s walk and feeding and is super professional and helpful. She accepted a late notice booking which was a big help when I’m not home to walk my dog myself!”
“It was our first time having Hanaya help us out and she was upbeat and positive from the beginning. She cared for my two CKCS’s like they were her own. She shows a true love for dogs and her experience with them shows. I highly recommend her!”
“Aaron is great. He truly cares about animals and their well being. I trust him to come in my home and care for my dog. He understands Sarge's needs. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a dog walker. He always responds immediately when booking, is punctual and keeps me informed.”
“Alexis came in for two weeks on last minute notice. She was extremely reliable, communicative and hard-working. Frankie clearly loved her as well from the photos we received. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of animals my whole life, assisting my family with our array of pets. I’m great with bigger dogs who may require more strength to walk. I also have experience with cats, right now my family has a giant Maine Coon. I am a college student on summer break and my schedule is pretty flexible. I can work around you and your pets’ needs.

I am able to accommodate crate or no crate in my home. I live in an apartment building with multiple grassy areas surrounding and a walking trail. I am able to spend ample time with your pets.
