Dog Walking in Paradise

“Val is not just your average pet sitter or dog walker, she's a true animal lover I have witnessed her interactions with my own dog, I can attest to her genuine affection and deep understanding for dogs. Val makes dogs feel safe and comfortable, even in unfamiliar environments. When I was away from my dog, she took care of him with such warmth and attentiveness. What impressed me the most was how she effortlessly picked up on his signals and cues, responding to his needs with care and sensitivity. Not only does Val provide the necessary care, but she also goes above and beyond to engage with dogs on a personal level. She's not just someone who walks dogs , she's a playmate, a companion, and a source of joy for them. I've seen her playing with my blind dog and showering him with affection, making sure he was safe, which speaks volumes about her genuine love for animals. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets with the same love and attention as you do, look no further than Val. She's a trusted friend who will go the extra mile to ensure that your pet is happy, loved, and cherished”

“Danielle is the best! She watched all 5 of my dogs and did a fantastic job! She even swept and mopped my house for me!!! She was fast to respond and get me booked and my dogs love her , I chose to add a bath to the service, and she had all my dogs smelling and looking wonderful, I highly recommend her to anyone!!!!!”

“Super Cooper seems to really like her. She gets a warm greeting and I appreciate that she runs and walks with him! it was raining and Lucy still took him out and he seems very relaxed like he's ready for a nice nap”

“Alisa does a great job with our pup. Would highly recommend!”

About: Growing up we had goats,chickens,dogs,fish. My dream to work with animals started when I was around 14 years old. I participated in the FFA (Future Farmers of America) program in high school and obtained A Greenhand Degree as well as a Chapter Degree. When I was 17 I adopted a beagle/pit mix from my local SPCA shelter and my love for animals grew even stronger. If you have a certain way you interact with your dog please tell me. I will always follow owners guidelines. Potty breaks are every 2-3 hours and lots of play in between. My goal is to keep the dogs I work with as close to their home environments as possible. I am currently a stay home mom/online entrepreneur. Animals are my passion I currently have 2 ESA, 2 cats and a Bearded Dragon. Caring for animals is in my daily routines. Safety is my first thought when it comes our pets, I have a fenced yard as well as medium sized kennel with shade in the back yard. I have 2 ESA dogs whom are very friendly to keep him/her company. I also allow animals inside if they prefer to be inside as long as they are fully potty trained, puppies are exceptions (ask for details).

“Kena was great! Definitely would work with her again!”

“Always the absolute best!”

“We've had the pleasure of Kadin hanging out and walking our Frenchie while we were out of town on vacation. Kadin exceeded our expectations! He listened to our instructions and came over to walk our boy several times, provided food, water, and treats on the time schedule and he played with and loved on our boy! Overall Kadin was a great fit for our family and we'll be keeping him on speed dial.”

About: I've looked after pets of all kinds including, cats, dogs, pigs, chickens and ducks to name a few. I have a good 7.5 years of experience under my belt and I have a high attention to detail to make sure that your fuzzy member of the family is getting top quality care. I am available Saturday through Tuesday, as those are my current days off. A typical day with your pet would include walks as many times a day as necessary, meals whenever they are typically had and plenty of play and relaxation throughout the day. If I have a meeting/appointment or need to leave the house for a bit, your pet won't be left alone for more than four hours. When I come to stay with your pet, I'll make it seem as though you never left. I'll do my absolute best to ensure they can continue their daily routines as they always do without skipping a beat. They will receive all the love and care I can muster, including snuggles and hugs a plenty. Making sure they are fed and clean so you can come home to a healthy pet.

“Yvonne is awesome. My pup got the exercise he needs, and he took such a contented nap afterwards. She bent over backwards to help us. I will definitely be booking her in the future.”

“Lauren watches our sweet Doodle every week and she is amazing! Always reliable and great with him to the point I think he’s more excited when he sees here compared to me haha. I think she would work well for anyone.”

“Giovanna did an excellent job caring for my dog, Brooks. She was in constant communication with me and I felt completely at ease and comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. She followed all of my instructions about the care of my dog. He was clean and happy when I picked him up! I would recommend Giovanna and I will definitely be using her again!!”

“Lavonniee was a super friendly and responsive dog walker. She walked our energetic puppy for an hour five days a week and it was glorious--best hour of my day! She even got into a little routine of greeting my other two dogs and giving them treats. Everyone looked forward to seeing her every morning!”

“Jessica has been an animal lover for as long as I’ve known her. She watches my dog when I go out of town occasionally & is always jumping for joy when she gets to pet-sit. She was our bosses first choice to pet sit back in the day, and I understand why :) I would definitely recommend boarding with Jess!”

“Sarah was many years of experience working and caring for dogs and cats thru our family business. She is a very responsible, and reliable individual. One you can fully trust to take care of your beloved pets.”

“She is pure joy! Never late, never an issue. Could not ask for more. Super dependable.”

“Julie has been watching our four animals for years now. We find it hard to find someone who will care for our two cats and two dogs as if they were their own like she does. Our nervous older dog is rarely comfortable with strangers but has grown to really love Julie. We return from trips and discover new toys and treats she’s bought for our pets. I especially love how she sends us pictures of our animals while we are away! We feel very lucky to have Julie care for our pets. :)”
