About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, of all shapes and sizes. I love all animals. I’ve grown up with hunting dogs, big dogs, farm animals, and cats. I am always willing to go for midday lunch walks or weekend check ins while you are out and about being social (in the Ankeny/Polk City area). My boyfriend works blue collar, so sometimes I have a lot of time to myself while he’s working, I’d love to fill in with walks at night or weekends in the Highland Park/Saylor/Beaverdale areas. Some nights he may even join if he’s home. We have a two dogs of our own that could join, pending your permission of course. I am always very cautious when going in for my furry friends for walks, making sure they are safe. I’m full of love and attention and energy to burn so I’d love a buddy. I’ve worked with highly trained dogs, and will honor any and all training your dogs follows.
“Brianna is very responsive and on time. I requested to change the time from what I originally requested and she was able to. Which was an earlier time then requested. I received pictures of my dog from her after the walk was completed. Zox seemed to enjoy getting the attention from someone other then me.”

Rebecca G.
“Rebecca is without a doubt one of the most quality individuals i'm lucky enough to know. She's also top five one of the smartest persons i've ever met. She radiates charisma and commands respect, which i think are two important traits for working with animals. I fully vouch for her being good with dogs as i've been around her leading a pack of three very high energy dogs. They listen to her and get really excited when she comes around.”
Kamrin D.
“Kamrin, is a very reliable dog walker. We have 5 dogs, all of different breeds. He did very well with managing the different dog personalities and keeping them in control. I would definitely recommend him to customers because it can be hard to find someone who manages the different behaviors we see in dogs”
