I have two precious Shih-tzus as noted in my "Pet care experience" and am able to devote extra time to them because I currently work from home. That also means I have great flexibility to help care for your fur babies!

I let your pup guide me on walks, allowing them to smell and use the bathroom along the way (cleaning up behind them of course). If your dog wants to play fetch or spend extra time in my fully fenced-in back yard, we can make that happen as well.

Fur Babies ARE My Children!

Pet care experience

I have owned and cared for animals most of my adult life! Mostly dogs and cats, but a few rabbits, fish, and other oddities here and there (no snakes though!). Pets are my passion! I never had children of my own, so fur babies ARE my kids! Recently, I helped my baby girl, Dollie, deliver her first litter of Shih-tzu puppies. They are PRECIOUS and raising them was one of the biggest joys of my life so far! Prior to getting Dollie and Porter (yes, they are named after Dolly Parton and Porter Waggoner), I rescued a Shih-tzu named Nash and had him for 11 awesome years. He had a lot of medical issues, including surviving cancer twice, so I am also well-versed in caring for senior dogs and giving them medication, feeding special foods, etc. Additionally, my friends and family don't hesitate to call on me when they need help caring for their four-legged friends.

Mistie is absolutely wonderful. I am so grateful I found her to care for my baby. She truly goes the extra mile and made sure everything was taken care of, which gave me so much peace of mind while traveling. I felt completely safe knowing Boogy was in such good hands. I would not hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet care.

My (dog) boys are so lucky to have a caring, consistent and thoughtful walker! She is the best and I’m never worried when they are in her hands.
