“Mollay went above and beyond this time for me! Starting with the booking, this was super last minute, but she was flexible and worked with me to get my dog walked. After that, she got some really cute pictures! When she made it back to my house, she even watered my plants and said hello to my rabbit for me! What a great experience all around. She is my go to!”

“When Georgie sees Ashlee, she looses her mind because she knows walks with Ashlee are amazing. Two days a week we are on the go all day, and have no time to walk her. Ashlee coming in to help us walk those two days, relives so much stress and anxiety for us!!!! You won’t regret booking with Ashlee.”



“Kristen was great! My pups liked her immediately and she did a great job caring for them. :)”

She has her boyfriend come help her sometimes and it has caused zero issues or quality issues, he has also been respectful of my property and my dogs. I always get a picture of the walk walk and my puppies are happy. I have two great dogs, but one is a puller and haven’t heard any issues. I couldn’t be more happy.”

“Thank you for taking such good care of Maple!”


About: I’m the definition of an animal lover. I’ve had, and taken care of, a variety of animals throughout my life. I have taken care of it all, from puppies to senior dogs and everything in between. As of now, I have a cat that I’ve had since I was 10 years old and I help my parents with their two pit bulls. I even babysit my sister’s pomeranian here and there. I know our animals aren’t just pets, but a family member, and I ensure you they’re in good hands with me. I work fully remote which allows me to give a pet the well deserved attention it needs during the day. I love having a reason to get outside to take a dog on a walk or just play inside the house. I am free most weekends and have a pretty flexible schedule. I treat every animal as if it were my own. I constantly ensure there is nothing hazardous or dangerous for our fur babies to get into. I try to make sure the animal is just as happy as if they were at home with their family. And of course, a home isn’t a home without lots of toys and attention.

“Dean was great with my energetic pup! I've never left her with someone outside of my circle & Dean made me feel so comfortable. It was clear he had a great energy with her & I loved the photos included! We'll be scheduling regular walks moving forward. ☺️🐶”
