“Molly has been walking bowser for just over a year now and he just absolutely adores her! She’s very attentive when it comes to your dogs needs and letting you know if there’s anything out of the ordinary. She’s always been always to help out last minute if it was needed or stop by again if I had to work late. She truly makes being a pet owner so much less stressful knowing you have someone with them who cares for them as much as you do when you’re away!”
“Lauren has been fantastic! We hired her at the beginning of this year for a few days a week to walk our Weimaraner. He’s a big puppy with a lot of energy and she has been amazing with him. She communicates with us on how his visits and walks go. She has been incredibly flexible with a few times we have even had to change our schedule around. We are so thankful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone needing her services.”
