“Gracie loves Blaize and gets so excited to see them every day. Keeps me well informed and takes great pictures of Gracie while they're out. They've been an amazing person to work with.”

About: Hello! My name is Ava, i’m 19, and i’m a HUGE dog person. I’ve had dogs my whole life, big and small, lazy and crazy, girls and boys. I also have tonsssss of experience with reactive pups. I’m the main dog walker in the family. I’ve also dog sat for many families and I’ve worked for a doggy daycare/boarding facility. I know how to read body language and how to approach nervous pups. I can also handle leash pullers of any size. My current obsession is fostering. I foster for Journey Home Animal Rescue with my roommates and we are LOVING it. Your dog will be so loved under my care. I seriously treat them like children. All dogs are good dogs!:) I currently work part time as a lifeguard and my schedule is usually all over the place and never really consistent so my plan is to take clients when i know ill be available. I treat all dogs like they’re my own! I’ve always had a deep connection with animals and i’ve been told it’s because i treat them as if they’re a human. I like to spoil pups any way that i can (walks, treats, playtime, nap time, cuddles, etc.) depending on their preferences because all dogs are different!
About: Since 2011, I’ve had amazing pet experiences with dogs, from loyal companionship to joyful adventures, shaping my life with love and trust. With that being said I’d love to be given the opportunities on this platform to help others! Weekends are completely open for me, making them an ideal time for drop-in visits and dog walks. I naturally start my mornings early with outdoor activity, so fitting in a walk or check-in visit is a seamless part of my routine rather than an afterthought. Throughout the day I'm out and about running errands, which means I'm already on the move and happy to swing by for a midday visit. While I do have social plans some evenings, mornings and afternoons are consistently available and I'm always happy to work around your pet's schedule. Dogs have been a central part of my life from day one — I grew up surrounded by them and currently share my home with two dogs of my own. This lifelong experience means I genuinely understand canine behavior, body language, and what it takes to keep a pup happy, comfortable, and safe. As a drop-in visit and dog walking provider, my focus is entirely on your dog in their own familiar environment — the place they feel most secure. Every visit is attentive and personalized, ensuring your pet receives dedicated one-on-one care, a reliable routine, and plenty of love while you're away. You can trust that your dog is in experienced, caring hands. I treat every client's pet with the same commitment and affection I show my own — because to me, it's never just a job.
“I’ve never meet Isabella, but she had great communication and was even willing to still walk my dog even though the weather was a little rainy. This was my first time using the app so I was a little worried but she was so nice and made me feel at ease. I would book with her again if I needed someone to walk my dog.”

About: I have had multiple animals under my care from dogs and cats to raccoons and squirrels! I have been in animal care of different aspects for my entire adult life. I want to have flexibility, gain more experience, all while getting my degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I am currently working part time and doing school online! I am very flexible with care schedules but am most available in the evenings after 3:30pm. Depending on the day, I could do different times but it would need to be discussed since I don’t have the same schedule every week. My cat is very friendly with humans but he is very territorial over his home with other animals and I don’t feel comfortable having other pets in my home at this time. With your fur babies, I want to try and keep them in their routine in your home as much as possible to ease possible stress with separation from you. Whether that means play time, training/mentally stimulating activities, or just tv on the couch, Im here for it! I am also willing to take your dogs for walks around your neighborhood, at a park, etc. i would love to discuss what your dogs comfortable with and loves!

Depending on the day I can do a mid day walk or check in. Please reach out if you have any questions and I can see if the time you are needing a service works for me.
