“Georgilin was fantastic. I love that she offered to meet my dog with me before walking her for the first time, it helped put me at ease. She was super responsive to any of my messages, on time for all the walks, and great about updates! She also offered to help me out when my dog was sick and I was at work which was so nice of her. I definitely recommend her!”
About: I've grown up with dogs all my life! I've been responsible for walking, feeding, petting, and loving multiple family dogs. I know how to be patient with a dog and react based on the dog's comfort level. I work remote so my schedule is extremely flexible. I can be anywhere at anytime! Let me know what your pet needs and I'll be happy to accommodate them and you :) This will depend mostly on the owner's needs, but I will have eyes on your pet at all times to make sure they're safe and sound. I make sure to listen to an animals queues.
