“Victoria really goes above and beyond to take care of my dog when she’s with him. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dog walker in the area!”
“Thank you so much. The poochies were happy, fed, and calm when we got home. Erin communicated well and we got lots of pictures! Thank you!”
“Kelly did an outstanding job walking Colt for me on Thursday and Friday mornings this week while my regular dog walker Tara was out of town visiting her daughter at college in Florida. Kelly was right on time every day and she bonded quickly with Colt and she really impressed Tara also when she came over a couple of weeks ago for a meet and greet and walked the route with Tara and Colt. Kelly walked Colt over 2 miles each morning in an hour very consistent with his walks with Tara and myself when I walk him on the weekends. She responded promptly to my request when I first contacted her and Kelly definitely exceeded my expectations!! She is very friendly and courteous and made me feel confident and completely at ease with walking Colt and I’m so glad that she is very physically fit to give Colt great exercise walking in the woods and around the two horse pastures in the early mornings when Colt is feeling his best and most active. I will definitely want and need her assistance again very soon in the near future since Tara travels out of state fairly often to visit her family.”

About: I have my own dog for the last 15 years and have multiple occasions of watching, walking, and checking in on friends and families pets. Love to spend time with animals and have volunteered at animal shelters before. I am currently available at anytime during the day. I ideally would prefer mornings or afternoons as I am currently busier in the evenings but can always work around schedule In my home we have dog ramps for my dog to easily get up and down stairs. When walking I make sure that if any people or animals get close I do my best to limit exposure to keep both parties safe. I like using harnesses when available to prevent any choking if pet suddenly takes off
