Dog Walking Twig Station

About: Hi, I’m Tia! I’ve been around animals my whole life—our family had dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, and even a ferret. I started dog-sitting back in college, and I’ve been a proud pet parent ever since. My husband and I currently have three rescue dogs, including one who is deaf. I’m experienced with senior pets, special needs, and giving medications. After 20 years in healthcare, I shifted my focus to something I’ve always loved: caring for animals. I left the medical field in 2024 and started my own pet care business—and I couldn’t be happier. I’m compassionate, calm, and reliable. I understand how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every animal like family. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or special care, your pet will be in loving hands with me. I left healthcare in 2024 to follow my passion—caring for pets full time. I run my own pet care business and love focusing my days around dogs! I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and care. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing always come first, always, every single time. 🐾

“Amber is the best! I'm so happy with how it's going with my pups! My chihuahua-dachshund is impossible to walk but just a couple of weeks of walking with Amber and he's walking without pulling!!”

“Audriana is fantastic! She gives my updates of how my puppy is doing on his walks and sends me pictures. She also gave me over a months notice when she was going to be out of town and not able to walk my little guy. Would HIGHLY recommend Audriana.”

“Christina is wonderful with our 4 month old puppy Dolly. She has been very helpful in the training and socializing processes. She is very kind, patient, courteous and responsible. Christina communicates all needs or issues respectfully. Christina does her best to accommodate any changes to Dolly’s walk schedule. We feel 100% confident that Christina cares for Dolly as if she were one of her own. My husband and I can not say enough good things about Christina. If we could we would definitely give her way more than 5 stars. We would 100% recommend Christina to all of our family and friends.”

“Had such a GREAT experience with Sav! She knows exactly what she is doing and was SO adaptable her first time getting to know our dogs quirks. Truly, it means so much as we have a golden retriever who struggles on walks and is anxious! We will absolutely be using her again as our dog walker!”

About: Hi! My name is Mara, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and your home while you’re away. I have grown up with multiple dogs and have always loved being around animals. Over the years, I have also provided dog sitting and house sitting for neighbors and family members, caring for pets in their own homes, following their routines, and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship.

Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I will take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
