About: After loving and caring for my dog of 12 years, Fuzzy Wuzzy, I decided to take up dog care/dog walking to care for other pets who need it. I worked for a Professional Company, ‘Canine Care,’ for a year, and it was one of the best experiences of my life! I work with barking, lunging, curious, drooly, happy, jumpy dogs all day, and I won’t have a problem with however your dog is! I look forward to meeting and having a great, safe, time with them. I am available pretty much most days for house sitting and walking. I text back very quickly so just ask and I’ll let you know right away! I have a fenced in back yard, no pets in the house and if you’re comfortable pets are allowed on the furniture. For walking, I have 6 foot and 10 foot leashes, and my neighborhood is on the quieter side if you’re dog is sensitive to noise. Let me know if you have any other questions I’m happy to answer.

About: I grew up in a multi pet home and learned to walk, train and groom pets from a young age. I cared for the last family dog through her medically tedious senior years. Through college I pet sat and walked for friends and family. For 2 years I worked for a veterinary clinic, although my job was marketing I often was asked to assist with holding and monitoring patients. When I became a pet owner I adopted puppies raising them through potty and crate training. I am proud to say they continue to be healthy and happy. Now we foster and pet sit dogs of all ages and sizes because of the dog friendly environment we’ve created at home. My success in pet lies with gaining the pets trust. I approach them slowly and go at their pace, sitting and waiting on the ground if necessary. I am pet sitting and walking full time so I have plenty of time to dedicate to my clients! Dogs are typically walked and out between 7am and 9pm. I have a fully fenced yard with ample room for running and playing. There are four resident dogs who are friendly and used to guests. We can crate your pup or have them sleep in a bed or in bed with me. Water is available at all times through a 2 gallon water dispenser.

“I booked Tabbie to walk our doggies and she was a lifesaver these past couple of days. Tabbie was very responsive, prompt, courteous and on time.
