Just let me know what helps your do go feel comfortable and cared for. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

A typical day

We build in mental stimulation too- quick training exercises, games and enrichment activities to keep their minds happy and engaged.

It is so easy to communicate with Julia, and Biondo is super happy with her! He always returns from the walks with a big smile.

Julia is amazing! She walked my one-year-old miniature Dachshund, Jub Jub, for four consecutive days this past week, and I couldn't have been happier with the care she provided. She took him on long, enjoyable walks through our neighborhood and the nearby park, and she kept me updated throughout each visit with detailed notes and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Beyond the walks, Julia took the time to check on him when she arrived, making sure he was comfortable and that everything in the house was clean and in order. We also have two other dogs at home, and even though they weren't part of the booking, Julia was incredibly kind and spent time playing with and giving them attention as well. That extra level of care really meant a lot. Julia was professional, punctual, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker. Thank you so much, Julia!

Julia was a pleasure! Gray was super happy and relaxed. She booked us super last minute as well during some super hot weather. We will definitely have Gray spend time with her again!
