Reviews
My girls have absolutely adored Molly. I have never seen them both so excited for a walk with someone in their lives. They come back happy as ever and you can tell they fully trust her, which is so important to me as a dog mom. I’m sad to be leaving the area because it’s so refreshing to find someone your dogs trust so much. Thank you for everything 🤍
My girls absolutely love Molly and get so hyped when they see her walking up to the house now. Being dogs that are incredibly loyal and tend to not want to leave with anyone but their family, this goes to show how much they feel safe with her after just a handful of walks.
Molly is a wonderful sitter! She is definitely a keeper! She went above and beyond our expectations and we appreciate every bit of it! 🙂
Absolutely amazing! My dogs are absolute Velcro dogs and definitely can be hesitant with anyone new but Molly has handled them with grace and patience. I’m very grateful for her

From my past work, I have learned how important behavioral cues are from animals to make sure they are comfortable and happy is key! Praising good behavior, bringing water on hot days, and checking paws and ear tips on really old ones all go towards a safe and content pet. I also understand that each household often has different care regimens and schedules when it comes to the day-to-day of their pets. I think it is very important to pay attention to those differing schedules and serve the individual needs of each pet and parent's preference.
Information Molly F. would like to know about your pet
~Accommodations/Behaviors~ I love working with dogs and cats of all shapes, ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Please let me know about any unique attributes of your pet so I can best accommodate them. Things like energy level, behaviors you are working on, medications, allergies, or special needs will help me give your dog the best visit I possibly can!
A typical day
~Pet Itinerary~ We can definitely get outside to see what other furry friends have been visiting the local mailboxes and stop signs. Novel areas are also a wonderful adventure along with playtime in the backyard with tug-o-war, treat hide and seek, or just belly rubs in the sun. For feline friends, we will absolutely fit in as much playtime as you would like with their favorite toys! With attention and pets sprinkled throughout to round out a wonderful visit.

Availability
~Availability~ I have a relatively flexible schedule and open availability but peak times like holidays can often fill up quickly. I recommend trying to book a week out to secure 100% availability during those times.
