More wagging, less barking

*** se habla español *** Hello fellow pawrents! 🐾 I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life… cats, dogs, and even parakeets but dogs have always held a special place in my heart 💕 Growing up, my best buddies were Pitbulls and Chihuahuas, and over the years I’ve had the pleasure of caring for all kinds of breeds from Yorkies to Staffordshire mixes and everything in between! After years of loving other people’s pups, I finally got one of my own, my furbaby, Jax! 🐶 He’s a goofy, lovable, and playful French Bulldog who keeps me smiling every day. I’ve had him since he was 3 months old, so I know all about puppy energy, training, and those adorable zoomies! Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, or just some cozy company, I’ll make sure they feel loved, safe, and right at home. Can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! 🐕✨

Safety, trust & environment

After every walk, I make sure to wipe Jax down from his folds to his paws and even his behind because keeping your furbaby clean and comfortable is super important! 🧼🐾 If you’re looking for a caring dog walker or someone for pop-in visits, you can trust that I’ll treat your pup just like my own. 😁

I highly recommend her! Was last minute and she said yes. We really appreciate that. She came to my home to take care of my two dogs, Prexious and Milah, while I was away. She took them outside for potty breaks, made sure they were fed, and gave them lots of love and attention. I truly appreciate her kindness, professionalism and the wonderful care she gave my fur babies. Thank you so much!

Dog Walking • Aug 03, 2026

Mercedes is wonderful! I’m so happy to have found her. She took the time during the meet and greet to really get to know my dog and I and get a good understanding of him and his routine. She communicates well and in a timely manner. On the day of the visit she was on time, followed all the instructions, spent some time playing with my dog after the walk, and provided a detailed update on the visit. You can tell she really care. I look forward to booking her again!

Please let me know if there is anything specific I should know about your pup. For example, does he/she run straight to the door whenever someone knocks? Can other people approach your pup and pet them? Any specific treats or toys to stay away from?
