“Carley is great! She is professional and friendly and our pets loved her at first sight. I highly recommend her :-)”
2. Christina M. Y.
“Christina is wonderful! I've never let anyone but family walk my dog but since we've had a baby I needed extra help so we set up recurring weekly walks to make sure Mango has the attention she needs. Mango has arthritis and can be leash aggressive because she was attacked by dogs a while ago so Christina met with us so we could show her how to walk her in a way that keeps her safe. She brought her partner too so that in the event she couldn't walk her, he can help as a backup. Christina always gives us a heads up when she is on the way and arrives on time, communicates well with how Mango did on the walk and brings her back on time. She was very flexible with our schedule changes and we feel so grateful to trust someone else with our precious love. ❤️”

About: For the past 16 years, I've lovingly cared for my cherished animal companions, including my late grandmother's elderly dog, whom I was entrusted to care for, as well as raising my own feline friend from the tender age of just three weeks old. I'm delighted to offer my availability every weekday, starting from early afternoon and extending into the late evening to lovingly care for your precious fur babies. In addition to providing essential care for your pets, such as feeding and toileting needs, I believe it is equally vital to shower them with love and affection, fulfilling their emotional needs.
