Information Christel W. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if the dog is friendly towards other dogs, up to date on shots and flea/tick/heartworm meds, and ok with children.

A typical day

Mornings start with potty time then breakfast, afternoons with playtime, evenings with cuddles—always with daily photo updates. Some fun activities include playing fetch, tug of war, and doing tricks for treats. I make sure to provide exercise and mental stimulation for those who need it.

Chrystel walks Wrangler three times a week. She is punctual, dependable and flexible. Wrangler has a wonderful time on his walks and always looks forward to seeing his new best friend, Christel. It is a wonderful experience for Wrangler and we’re delighted to have Christel as part of our little family.

We are so grateful to have found Christel. She walked our dog twice a day and went above and beyond in every way. She cleaned up when our dog had an accident in the house, which we truly appreciated. Most importantly, our dog was scared at first, and she took the time to sit with her, comfort her, and build trust. For the first time, we saw our dog relax and feel safe with someone new. That meant everything to us. We’re incredibly thankful for her care, patience, and kindness, and we highly recommend her.
