A Good Walk Goes a Long Way!

NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! Hello! I'm Gillian, a current dog mom and lover of all animals. My passion for animals began when I was very young, growing up with multiple family dogs of different breeds and sizes. As I got older, I volunteered at shelters, helped care for friends and family pets, and eventually rescued my own. It has been over 10 years since I started taking care of others' pets and have grown my knowledge of different breeds and temperaments. I’ve handled and trained energetic puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs, sassy cats, and dogs that have behavioral issues like leash aggression. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important your pet’s care is, so I ensure your animals have a fun and safe environment to play while maintaining clear commands for obedience. The objective is to exercise your dog’s body and mind, but my goal as their caretaker is to establish trust through love and leadership. I always walk with a collapsible bowl, water, treats, and potty bags. If you have specific instructions on crating, potty time, or feeding, I will ensure to follow them. Most important, I will care for your pet as if they were family, as I know they are yours! Please check my calendar for my most up-to-date schedule.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have two of my own dogs that get along well with others! I have a young, energetic cattle dog and an older cattle/ Bassett mix that matches the energy of others. He was used to check the temperament of other dogs within the shelter, so he adapts well to the needs of others.
