Pet care experience

Mom on the run, loves walking dogs❤

Back in Action! I’m excited to be walking and visiting pups again after a few years away. I’m a dog-loving mom and experienced walker who loves keeping pups happy and active! I’ve cared for dogs both in their homes and on fun walks, and my clients appreciate my reliability and attention to detail. As a runner and busy mom, I know how important exercise and adventure are for dogs. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend for a walk or a drop-in visit!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet with care and respect, whether in their home or on a walk. I make sure your home is safe while I’m visiting and follow any instructions you provide. On walks, I keep dogs leashed, attentive, and happy, making sure they get exercise and mental stimulation safely. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on your pet’s comfort and well-being.

Melissa and Andy took such great care of our dog! Melissa was so understanding about my nervousness due to it being our first time leaving Esa for an extended period of time - Esa has severe separation anxiety and Melissa was thoughtful and caring and said all the right things to comfort me and my dog! We received many photos throughout the days we were gone - and the photos definitely showed the happy and fun time Esa was having with Melissa/Andy and their dog, Charlie. When we arrived to get Esa after our trip, I was amazed at how comfortable Esa was in their home. They definitely took good care of her. We'll definitely be contacting them again for future trips... I think Esa already misses her other family now!

Schedule

I have a flexible work schedule on weekdays between 9am and 3pm, which allows me to provide reliable dog walks and drop-in visits during the day. Whether your pup needs a mid-morning stroll, an afternoon check-in, or a little extra playtime, I can work around your dog’s needs and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I have even more flexibility on weekends!

I like to know a bit about your pup so I can give the best care! Some helpful info includes: any allergies or health concerns, feeding schedule and amounts, favorite activities and toys, how often you’d like walks versus playtime in the yard or around the house, and any special routines or things that make your dog feel comfortable.
