Pet care experience

Waggin' & Walkin' 🐕❤️

Hey, friends! Welcome to Waggin' & Walkin'. I've had many types of animal family members in my life. From dogs and cats to a ferret and a guinea pig! I've also volunteered at the Rota Animal Welfare League while stationed in Spain. My duties included feeding, cleaning the grounds, and spending time with my furry pals. There's no doubt that your dog will be in great hands. Whether it's feeding them, walking them or simply relaxing with them to ensure they're comfortable, I'll be there when you can't to ensure they're good to go 💯👍.

As of now I plan to perform the following services: Dog walks, Pop-ins and pet sitting at the client's home. I might add Boarding in the future. When you're not home I will do all tasks that you require to ensure your loved pet is nourished, interacted with and feels safe & happy.

John was great! He gave plenty of updates, took Spanky for all the walks, and made sure all medicine and food was done on time. I would absolutely use John again and recommend him to anyone!

Waggin & Walkin, thank you so much for taking care of Cleo and Stella while we were away! I really appreciate the care, the pictures and attention you gave them. It’s such a relief knowing I have someone reliable I can trust with my pets. I’ll be contacting you again the next time we’re away.

Schedule

I have a really great schedule which will allow me ample time to take care of your pets needs. My typical work schedule is from 6am-2pm so any time after that I can assist. *** If you need assistance outside of my typical hours, please still reach out and I might be able to work something out *** From walking to pet sitting, I'll ensure they are loved and cared for so you can relax and focus on what you need to do.
