Tail-Wagging Care You Can Trust!

You can trust your pup with me! My love for dogs and animals started when I was a child and has grown into a deep bond and genuine care for every dog I meet. I truly go above and beyond when it comes to pet care — and in my book, a little spoiling is always included. ;) I’ve had decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs since 2004, from training my first Mini Schnauzer, Ally, as a puppy to providing specialized senior care as she got older. In 2009, my husband and I rescued our first senior Schnauzer, Smokey, and cared for him through several medical issues including seizures, gastroenteritis, and inner ear infections. I’m extremely attentive to a dog’s needs, personality, comfort, and safety, and I always stay alert to make sure they’re happy, secure, and out of trouble. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I would care for your dog like one of my own. *Please note: I can only accommodate dogs up to 15 lbs. Requests above this size will be declined. Please do not request bookings for larger dogs.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

At our home, pets are treated like family and will receive lots of love, attention, supervision, and playtime throughout the day. We have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time, potty breaks, and play, but dogs will always be supervised while outside. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, comfort level, routines, and needs to help them feel safe and relaxed while away from home. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a calm environment, I’m happy to accommodate their routine as closely as possible. I also understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attentiveness, especially for senior dogs or pets with special needs.

Hi My husband and I called on Misty many times to care for our small dogs, Penny and Coconut. She always took great care of them, and we trusted no one else! We could always count on her, very dependable and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend her, she cares for your pets like they are her own! We moved away from VA a year ago sadly and greatly miss Misty! Kym M.

We were so thankful for our dog walker, Misty, and the incredible care she gave our two dogs! From day one, she was dependable, caring, and genuinely loving toward them. It was such a comfort knowing they were getting attention, exercise, and affection from someone who truly enjoyed being with them. She always went above and beyond, whether it was making sure they got plenty of exercise, giving them extra love and attention, or keeping us updated on how they were doing. Our dogs absolutely adored her and were always so excited to see her. It’s hard to find someone you fully trust with your pets, and we felt very lucky to have found Misty. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and wonderful dog walker!
