I was running late coming down, then asked her to extend the walk on the spot—she said yes without hesitation and kept Hayleigh 🐶 out for a longer, unhurried one. Hayleigh was all smiles when she came back. We’re so grateful!!

Dog Walking • Jul 23, 2026

Kaitlin is so understanding with Hayleigh and dogs who need a little extra. Hayleigh has a slight bulging disc and nerve pain in her hind legs, so some days she can walk at a more normal pace and some days she really can’t—and the walk has to happen at her pace, not ours. Kaitlin’s been patient and willing to learn to read her. She lets her set the pace off-leash and walk/wander in the safer park areas, turns back when Hayleigh wants to, and will just sit in the park with her when a break is needed. She also tells me what she’s seeing, which matters so much with a dog who can’t communicate it to us. The hard part of this whole healing journey personally has been watching Hayleigh still have all her energy and social needs Kaitlin is so understanding with Hayleigh and dogs who need a little extra.

Kaitlin was awesome with my 4 kitties- she played with them, cared for them as per my instructions and was sending a lot of amazing photos and videos! Definitely recommend Kaitlin for your four-legged babies:)

I cannot say enough great things about Kaitlin. She took incredible care of my Finn while I was out of town. She took him on multiple walks a day, and even took him on adventures to different parks! She was an excellent communicator and sent lots of pics. most importantly, my dog was SO happy to hang with her. I truly think he misses her now that we’re home ?. Will definitely ask Kaitlin to watch Finn again.

Kaitlin did a nice job on the walls she helped my dogs with. She was somewhat unreliable in canceling 4 walks within a week with no explanation.
