Doggone fun! Let's take a walk!
Pet care experience
I own a home in Avondale and share it with my scrappy mutt, Dottie. She's a 30 lb ball of energy and goofiness. She's really sporty and loves learning fun tricks. I've had Dottie for 5 years, she has behavior problems so I'm experienced with dogs that might be leash reactive, aggressive, territorial, anxious, etc. I'm happy to accommodate special needs and am skilled at redirecting unexpected behavior and providing a positive experience. Before Dottie, I cared for the beloved pets of my friends, family and neighbors, as well as growing up with two amazing bird dogs, Cassie & Shannon. I have a creative job in the floral industry that leaves me with a flexible schedule (and reliable car), I can work around your needs. I love being outside and giving your dog the fun and exercise they need to stay healthy & happy. I know firsthand what it means to hand over the keys to your home and the well-being of your pet, so send me a message with any questions you may have. Your dog's comfort and safety are my first priority, I'd love to meet you both!

I struggled to find a walker for the night as the weather is so horrible and thanks for helping out while I am trying to battle this horrible sinus cold :(. ILSA came back happy and started eating her dinner before bed time which means she approved her fun adventure walk. Thank you so very much! I'm sure you will see us walking around the neighborhood. Don't be shy to say hi if you see us around! Take care! <3
Diana was so amazing to walk my sweet Hilda! Not only did she help me out with a super last minute request, she gave my girl so much love like she's known her for years and gave me the best piece of mind and assurance that she was taken care of and in good hands. Diana was right on time, reliable, and incredibly sweet, and stoked I found a great walker!
Went out of her way to get in touch with me prior to the walks I’d booked to introduce herself and ask if there was anything special to know about my pup. My dog loved her, she was flexible re: location (I live a mile from my mom and sometimes he stays with her for the night), and all around a lovely, straightforward human.
Diana is reliable, trustworthy and caring. My dog, Sully, is ECSTATIC whenever Diana comes for a visit! She also cared for my special-needs cat. Diana helped me through an extremely difficult transition in my life; When I moved to Arizona she picked up and flew my cat across the country from Philadelphia to Phoenix. If that doesn't show dedication, true compassion and trust, then I don't know what does! Diana is the best!

I love when my own dog has time to explore and discover her world, so l'll never rush yours through a walk or lead them into an environment that they don't feel confident in.
