Please let me know if your dog has any special needs I should account for. I am happy to chat before taking care of your dog to discuss their needs! Thank you!

A typical day

Walking dogs is one of my favorite activities. I will walk your dog on a safe route, and we’ll stop to sniff as they would like. I’ll provide plenty of water throughout the walk, and I’ll provide treats as directed by your care instructions. For drop-in visits, I will play with your dog, give lots of belly scratches, and provide food, water, and treats as directed.

Reliable Dog Walks & Drop-Ins

Pet care experience

I have been a dog lover all of my life! I own two long haired miniature dachshunds named Sonny and Luna, and they are my best friends. I grew up with golden retrievers, and I have lots of experience taking care of dogs of all sizes. I am a dependable and loving caregiver, and I am a trustworthy and respectful person. I have a huge heart for animals, and I will provide a fun and enjoyable experience for your dogs! I offer dog walking services and drop-in visits.
