Because I've recently stepped away from a corporate career I am flexible with my time, which allows me the ability to care for your furry friend. Dog walking is the perfect fit for this season of life because it combines my love for dogs, being active outdoors, and building meaningful connections in my community. You can expect dependable communication, punctuality, lots of love and attention for your pup, and someone who will care for them as if they were my own.

At this time, I’m focusing exclusively on dog walking so I can provide the best possible experience and attention to each pup I care for. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I will make sure they are securely leashed, closely supervised, walked in safe areas, and cared for according to your instructions and their individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys energetic walks or a slower pace, you can expect dependable care, patience, and lots of love every step of the way.

Pet care experience

While professional dog walking for others is new for me, caring for dogs is not. I was lucky to spend 14 amazing years with my own dog, who was truly my soul dog and taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, routine, and unconditional love. After recently stepping away from my corporate career to slow down and focus on things that genuinely bring me joy - spending time with dogs, being active outdoors, creating meaningful connections. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I would care for them with the same kindness, attention, and love I gave my own. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playtime, or simply companionship, I'm excited to provide a safe, fun and loving experience for them.

Tamala has been a huge help with Lewis. She walks him when I am not able to make it home in time from work, and I trust her completely with him. Lewis is 65 pounds and can be skittish, so it usually takes him time to warm up to new people. From the moment he met Tamala, he was comfortable enough to let her walk him and dog sit him, which says a lot. He also needs extra attention on walks because he is protective and can take off quickly if he sees a cat, squirrel, or anything that catches his attention. Because of that, I cannot let just anyone walk him. Since Tamala started helping with Lewis, there has not been a single issue. She is reliable, patient, and great with dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog.

I can’t recommend Tamala enough! She genuinely loves dogs and treats every pup like her own. She’s responsible, reliable, and has a natural way with animals that puts both pets and owners at ease. If there’s one “risk” in hiring her, it’s that your dog might get a little too much love and attention! Any dog in her care will be safe, happy, and thoroughly spoiled with hugs. I would trust her with my pets without hesitation.

I can’t recommend Tamala enough! She was reliable, caring, and clearly amazing with my dog. I always felt at ease knowing my pup was in such good hands, and the communication was great too. You can tell she genuinely loves animals, and it made such a difference. Highly recommend!
