Pet care experience

Committed, Kind, Mature Dog Walker

As a life-long animal lover I’ve owned and cared for dogs, horses and cats and have raised 4 GSD puppies in a loving home, socialized with people and other dogs from an early age. Your pets are your family! I tailor my visits to their specific likes, needs and conditions while giving them the attention they need! Your dogs will be walked, fed, watered, pampered and loved while you're away. They will have all types of dog fun sniffing and investigating, and if a safe fenced-in area is available they may also enjoy fetching and chasing the ball. I am excited to meet your furry friends! SERVICE AREA: A. Primary focus is *Overnight House/Pet-Sitting in your home. The area I service primarily includes Dover, Durham, Madbury, Rollinsford, York, South Berwick, Eliot... B. *LOCAL Dog Walks and Drop-Ins my service area included Dover, Rollinsford (NH) Elliot and Kittery (Maine) (limited number of regular walking available slots). I help provide your pet with positive reinforcement that comes from a regular routine so that he’s going to remain well-behaved and calm even if you aren’t around during the day! Your pet's safety, well-being, health and happiness is my number one priority. I keep you updated as to how your pet is doing, and I work hard to earn your trust. Additionally, I am an experienced horse enthusiast.

We had to be away for two weeks and feel fortunate Dale was able to stay throughout that period. Dale provided great communication putting our minds at ease daily that our pups remained happy and healthy in our absence. It let us relax and keep our minds on what was in front of us instead of being filled with worry about what was happening at home. Very appreciative of Dale’s dedication and communication!

Dale is great! She has taken care of our two big pups twice in our home. She is always easy to communicate with and takes great care of them. We will continue to be repeat customers!!

Dale did a great job taking care of Luna and Kashi. Luna gets anxious and Dale handled that well. Our house was clean and tidy when we got home. Dale communicated well with us when we were away and sent wonderful pictures daily of Luna and Kashi. We knew they were in good hands.

Dale watched our 2 shepherds over the weekend. They are a lot of work but they loved her and did great. She sent us pictures and updated us. I felt very safe leaving them with her. Would definitely recommend her!
