“Jessica takes excellent care of walking our Axel! She sends the best updates and pictures too. :) She is very understanding of his routine and his anxieties.”


About: We have been around so many animals since we were little girls (dogs, cats, bunnies, lizards, snakes, hamsters, fish, … the list goes on lol), but dogs are the pet we’re most familiar with. We have always helped out with walking/taking care of dogs since we grew up with almost all our friends and family having dogs. They’re family :) We are available anytime (Tuesdays through Saturday) during the summer! We will be starting a Dental Assisting Program in September so our schedule will be tighter by then. For now, we can do daily/weekly (with the exceptions of Mondays and Sundays) :) We will always make sure the dog is comfortable and at ease in its environment. Whether thats outside being walked or even inside when they are getting to know us. It is important to have a mutual trust.

“Flaca had so much fun with Stephanie on her walk. Stephanie made sure to accommodate the walk according to Flaca’s needs. A fun combination of exercise, hanging out by the shade, and playing with pinecones! Stephanie kept me updated with pictures and asked me questions about how best to take care and walk Flaca. Flaca is very excited to walk with her every week!”

About: I’m currently studying to be a dog trainer, I’ve been around many pets my whole life, I love animals. I’ve taken care of family and friends pets, I love all breeds and I’m ready for any challenge! I’m only studying at the moment so I have a lot of time to spend with your pets. Being around pets it’s an important part of my learning process as a trainer. I have a big fenced yard and a dog full of energy that would love to have a friend to play with so your dog would be well entertained. If I’m in another home I’ll follow your schedule and your dogs will have all their needs fulfilled.

About: I live with a Great Dane and a Mini Pitcher/Chihuahua mix. I have walked my neighbors dogs when they were out of town and played with them in their yard for a while. I watched my neighbors cats for a while until they moved, this involved feeding, changing water, loving on them, and changing their litter boxes, also cleaning the occasional puke. I currently am unemployed and looking for something to do with my time so I am very flexible and open. I am willing to make things work for you. Having a big dog and a small dog I am very comfortable around dogs and understand that these are your children. Also having experiences with cats lets me know how to treat them as well. Walking the dogs especially in the summer can be tough because of the heat so if I think it’s to hot I will not walk your dog, but would love to reschedule a different time.

I find comfort in knowing a truly experienced pet owner is walking my dog. With Koda being in good hands, I have even found less stress at work and I’m sure he feels the same. Value is more than I can ask for👍👍 Thank you!”
