Safety, trust & environment

I specialize in walk training and helping your dog get as comfortable as they can be. I have my own leashes and harness if needed, but can use yours if your furry friend prefers. I love to play with toys and can help them get the exercise their body craves.

Information Sierra "Rissa" W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you need me to bring walking supplies (i.e a leash, harness, etc.) as well as if your dog is afraid of anything we may encounter (i.e loud cars, grates, other dogs) so I can assure they have the best experience. It will also be helpful to know if they have a favorite toy for when we're at the house.

A typical day

I love enrichment toys and playing fetch. On walks they will get the opportunity to explore new environments and feel safe and cared for in any situation. I think all dogs deserve love and attention so with me you can trust that your furry friend will receive lots of care and love while we're together. I want to be more than just a dog walker for them, but a friend, someone they are excited to spend time with each visit.

Pets

Your pet's favorite play companion.

Pet care experience

I have had dogs since I was 2 years old and started caring for others pets since I was a teenager. I have worked with children and training service animals as well as fostering pets for a few years. I am an animal person more so than I am a people person, which makes me the ideal companion for your furry pal and all of their needs.

Rissa was amazing with Zoey!! This was our first experience with leaving our 7 month old puppy and Rissa helped us feel comfortable leaving our precious baby girl. She loved on Zoey and kept us updated with pics while we were out!!! ☺️

Rissa was great with our pup Charlie. He is normally shy but warmed up quickly to her! She has excellent communication skills and so the updates were spot on. It really made us comfortable while we were away knowing Charlie was being well cared for by Rissa with snuggles, nice walks, and playtime. 😊 We would definitely have her again and recommend her care.

I have had Sierra come and take care of my fur babies a bunch of times now. She is reliable, trustworthy and I know she cares about my pups as much as I do.
