Adabelle was the best dog walker I could have hoped for! I’ve never used a service like this before so I was a little nervous. I met her and kneww I made the right choice. She’s walked my dogs for the last two weeks and I’ve been very pleased with the job she’s done. Consistently sending pictures and updates about my dogs . One of my dogs even got a really bad inner ear infection while I was on a business trip and couldn’t walk since she lost her balance while she was sick. Adabelle gave me updates and even carried my sick dog up and down three flights of stairs to take her out to do her business. I don’t know what I would have done without her help. Thanks Adabelle

Julianne is the best! She was so communicative from the onset and made sure she had all information caring for our English cream golden retrievers. So grateful for her photos, her care and loving our pups as her own!🐶❤️

About: Hi! I’m a lover of all pets! Over the years I’ve had dogs, cats, horses, chickens, sheep, pigs and rabbits! ... I know how much people love and worry about their pets when they’re not home and I’d love to help out, I can’t have a dog of my own because of my job but I love getting to hang out with them. I’m an avid runner and supper active so I love pets who love to play fetch outside or snuggle on the couch. I’ve been the go to pet sitter to my friends and family for years. I have also read lots of books on animals and training and love to try to keep the owners rules for their pets so the experience is great for all involved! I want your pet to be on vacation too while you’re away, so there will be lots of adventures, attention and love. I work from home for the winter season and don’t have any pets myself because of my travel arrangements with my job. But I love dogs and cats and this is the best way for me to get the best of both worlds!! I think that mental stimulation is the key to happy animals. They’re so smart! I love to play games, go for adventures and take them everywhere with me if I can!
