Pet care experience

Animal lover with flexible schedule

Safe, happy care with your pet at the center of it all—tails wagging, hearts full, and treats given! As a lifelong pet owner, I bring hands-on experience as a former dog groomer, volunteer dog walker for animal shelters, professional pet care provider with pet first aid skills. Each dog gets care tailored to them—whether it's a long, energetic walk, playful enrichment, or a slower, relaxed pace with squirrel-watching therapy. I have a soft spot for senior pups and plenty of experience keeping them comfortable, content, and thriving in their golden years. I have a home studio, which means a flexible schedule and the ability to accommodate same-day bookings when possible. During the visit you'll receive photos and updates documenting your pet's daily adventures. I also volunteer as a wildlife rehabilitator, with a strong focus on behavior, stress reduction, and keeping animals feeling safe and at ease.

Judith was awesome! Her updates were so detailed and my pup loved her. I can’t wait to have her walk him again.

Judith did a fantastic job helping our sweet Stella and was willing to help in a pinch. She took excellent photos and left great reports on our love bug. She also asked great questions and made sure she had everything she needed.

Judith is very friendly and professional, and gave my dog Logan a nice walk and a treat afterward! I will definitely reach out to her again in the future.

Is your pet comfortable around children and other dogs? Are they fearful of strangers? Are there specific sensitivities such as bicycles, motorcycles, or squirrels? I'm committed to tailoring walks to meet their needs, ensuring they feel secure and can have a great experience while in my care.
