“She’s a phenomenal and very trustworthy dog walker. I just moved to the area and was nervous to find someone that could check on Letty multiple times a week, and sometimes last last minute. Ruth has been amazing and has been very trustworthy. She always sends me pics from their walk. Letty also loves her and is super excited to see her everyday!”

“April is wonderful! All three of my fur babies took an immediate liking to her. My pup is a bit shy, but by day 2 was offering up her belly for rubs! She is our go to from here on out.”

“Cassidy was very accommodating, flexible and kind with my fur babies. It was their first time left alone all day in a very long time and my first time using the app and Cassidy was patient with my new navigation of this process and tender hearted to my lonely doggie. Warmed my heart that she sat with my girl and encouraged her to eat her meal even though she was missing her momma. I even needed to add an extra walk when my day went unexpectedly late, and this was no issue.”

We have two Australian Labradoodles in our home who make great play buddies.

“Kylee took excellent care of our dog Lady and cat Scamp. She sent us pics of Lady doing her happy dance post walk and let us know each time she was arriving and departing. I would book Kylee's services again in a heartbeat.”

About: Hi there! I'm a passionate dog lover and devoted pet care-taker with a special place in my heart for high-energy breeds! As a proud owner of a 6 yr old Cattle Dog mix, I understand the joy, (and challenge) of keeping these active pups mentally stimulated, and properly exercised! I bring that same level of patience, care, and enthusiasm with every dog I walk. Your dog's safety and comfort are always my top priorities- I'm attentive to their needs, tuned into their body language, and commited to making each walk a positive, fun, and nurturing experience. Whether your pup enjoys long adventures or gentle strolls, i'm here to give them the care and attention they deserve. I have experience with positive reinforcement training, along with basic commands. I have an open schedule as of now! Morning, afternoon, or evening. I can help whenever is needed:) I am in between careers at the moment and have dedicated my time to starting my own business. My dog is my number 1 in my life, so giving her plenty of exercise and mental stimulation is my daily goal. This typically looks like 3 walks a day, car rides, frisbee or fetch, and/ or a nature walk. We also will run together, which she loves. To me, a dog is family. I will care for your pet as if they are my own. They deserve the unconditional love and compassion that they show us.
