Love My Walks and So Will Your Dog!
Pet care experience
My family and I have had large dogs for the last 25 years. Walking them has always been a part of my normal life. Our 12-year old German Shepherd passed away recently, but we are dog people so will adopt a new dog soon. I thoroughly enjoy walking the hills in the Lake of the Pines area almost every day, and would love to bring your dog along!
Reviews
I first met Lois in January 2017. She was the first person to speak to me when I was new at Church. After that, Lois and I really connected. We served on several committees together and also became friends outside of Church. I have always been impressed with Lois’s compassion, kindness, caring, organization, and attention to detail. Lois has owned and cared for two German Shepherd dogs. If Lois says she will do something, she will be there (and will probably be early!). Do not hesitate to book with Lois. Your pet will be in excellent loving hands.
I have known Lois for the past several years, having met through a walking group, SacFit. We’ve shared many walks, including a marathon, all offering the opportunity to talk and get to know someone. I consider her a dear friend and easily bonded over our love ❤️ for dogs. She dearly loves German Shepherds, having been a pet mom to 4 Shepherds over the years, starting when her now grown children were young. They were members of the family and I was most familiar with Schubie, who she and her husband recently lost at age 12. Lois spoke often of walking Schubie, who loved his walks and Lois found joy in seeing his alert, happy, and curious self. Schubie was well mannered on and off leash, with the former being a testament to Lois’s concern for Schubie’s safety. Lois is a kind, compassionate, responsible, and gentle human being, who values family, human and animal, and helping. I so value her openness to listening and her easy going, friendly and warm communication style. I was so happy to learn of her interest in becoming a dog walker through Rover. This seems an ideal fit for Lois 😊🐾🐾 It was my absolute pleasure and honor writing this testimonial for Lois. Melody
Lois my mom. Over the course of many years she has taken great care of her own dogs. I have to think that the best dog sitters have owned dogs and instinctively know how take care of them.
Lois has had many dogs in her home over the last 25 years. She loves them like they’re family and cares for them with careful attention and compassion. She especially enjoys her time outdoors with them on walks and outings. The dogs she walks always come home content, relaxed and tired!
