Leigh was super helpful in walking my pup on super short notice for me! Will definitely be booking her again - thanks, Leigh!

Leigh was excellent at communicating and went above and beyond to make sure my dog got her walk- even overcoming a frozen lock outside. Would absolutely recommend her!

Leigh helped us out with a few days of dog walking on very short notice, same day. She was great, very professional and very friendly. I can highly recommend her.

Leigh is my neighbor and has been taking care of my puppy for the past 6 months while I'm at work. She is timely and professional. It is a relief to have someone accountable everyday. She is a great person, great with animals, and she would be the first person I'd recommend to someone looking for a dog walker.
