“Tabitha has truly been a life saver. She is quick to respond and she always has a great positive attitude. Whenever something comes up, she is always willing to help and my dog LOVES her!!”
“Max loves Leah so much! Leah is such a kind soul! She really helped me through an unexpected injury, by showing up daily to take Max for a nice walk. Thank you Leah!”
“Eden is exceptionally reliable, communicative, and kind towards our boys!!! There has been a noticeable difference in our pup’s demeanor (he’s happier, more playful) but also in the way he handles on leash! I couldn’t be happier with Eden and I hope to be able to be her client for a very long time!”
“Jessica was great, she contacted me about needs and expectations before scouts walk and stopped by for a meet and greet! She really cared for scout on her check in and even made sure she had plenty of water before she left! Will definitely be using Jessica again.”
“Mikelle did a wonderful job caring for my dog Bo while I was away for two days. She fed and walked him and gave him a lot of attention. I will definitely call her again when I need help with my pets! Freddie”
“My dog is often skittish with new people and doesn't let them touch him right away. That usually takes a while. He felt comfortable with Benjamin and let him pet him right away! Benjamin has a lot of experience with different dogs and it shows with his care and patience. I highly recommend!”
“My dog gets better with every walk with Robert. And so do I, I learn a lot from the notes he leaves. Always reliable always on time and always I come home to a happy tired dog!”
“I was looking for someone nearby to check in on and walk my pup, and I’m so glad Kayla was available. She was always on time, kept me updated, and took great care of Franky. Thanks again!”
About: I believe that I’m a kind and gentle person when it comes to providing care. I work as a nurse part time and a stay at home mother the rest of the day. My daughter and I love walking over to the park or diving to a lovely hidden park and allowing our furry friends to stretch their legs. I am actively taking online courses to provide puppy training in the near future. I’ve also done dog walking off and on through the years as a fun pastime!! I will provide your loved ones with a safe and fun environment in which they can play and be themselves!! I have a part time job as a nurse for the VA. I will be available after 2pm until the agreed upon times for ending our day,, Wednesday-Sunday. Pick up times can be arranged for anytime with in reason or prior arrangements I do not have a yard but we walk or drive to the local parks that are safe and fun for our furry friends. We also allow our friends to play through out the front room of our apartment if I’m providing over night care.
About: I have had cats most of my life, about 20 years, and I know that they are the bosses. They may have a reputation for being loners but most of the time they like attention, just on their own terms. I come up with clever games to get their wiggles out and treat each cat the way they like to be treated. They may seem like loners but playing is very important. Each cat has a different personality and that is very important to understand. I also take great photos and will gladly take some super cute portraits of your furry baby so you see that they are doing well while you are away. Your cats will be well fed, with clean litter boxes and lots of purrs when you get home.
About: I have been with dogs since my earliest years and had my own dog for many of the last 40 years. I have trained many of those dogs from puppyhood and look forward to training any dog that the owners feel comfortable with. I'm retired and have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet. I miss walking my own dog twice a day, and your dog will always be walked often. I have a nice sized fenced yard, and a home that housed a dog for many years. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, and the house is safe for dogs.
