I am currently available everyday for the next couple weeks and then I will be available 4 days a week. Once I start work again my days vary from each week. Dog walking is a passion because I love walking and will gladly have a little companion walk beside me. I will take great care of your best friend and make sure he is well exercised. If your dog is learning commands I will uphold them and practice the tricks with him or her. Message me to find out more information and hopefully I see you soon! I have and open schedule during the week Monday through Thursday and would love to fill my time visiting you cat or dog or taking your dog on a walk. Walks are very enjoyable for me, especially with a companion. I ensure that dogs are safe on their walks. They will walk on the side furthest from the road and always remain on leash during walks. I will also make sure that their immediate environment is free from choking hazards.

This also helps so the dogs/cats are comfortable in their own space.

Raven is amazing! I use her for daily walks for my five year old fur baby Lucky. She is reliable and dependable and great with my pup.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
