“Hamal was wonderful and asked a bunch of targeted questions to make sure Kona had exactly the care he needed! A+ we’ll be happy to book him again!”
About: My family has always had pets, and we've always had dogs. Many friends and family have asked me to walk, feed, and stay with their pets. I had a weekly dog watching job for two years while the owner had work obligations. I have a lot of free time for pet care! I am a teacher, so I am free after 3:00/3:30ish every day during the school year, as well as having off for any school holidays. I have a fenced yard and two sweet cats who get along well with other animals. There's also 4 people in my home so the pet would have many people to play with!
“Very happy to have found Heeyoung to walk my puppy. She has been timely and the puppy seems very happy.”
“Rachel has been amazing with Leo! He truly enjoys her company and walking with her! She’s got it down to a science with him, he’s a Frenchie and gives a hard time to walk but she’s been able to get him moving! Thank you Rachel for taking care of Leo when I have long days! You’re appreciated!”
