“Rachel is awesome! Reliable, trustworthy, prompt, professional, detail oriented, and just overall sweet! My dog Remi absolutely loves her and after I got home I noticed she was much happier than usual. I am very picky when it comes to who cares for my animals and I have absolutely no worries about Rachel, would highly recommend!”
“Christina was amazing! So friendly and responsive via text. She came for a pre-walk visit to meet our dog and you could tell she really cares for animals. We would happily have her walk Ziggy again anytime! Thanks Christina!”
“Jordan is the best - so flexible & communicative. We always feel (slightly) less guilty leaving our baby with her knowing that he’s totally obsessed with her. 12/10 would recommend.”
“Jill was fantastic! I reached out at the last minute right before Thanksgiving when other accommodations feel through. She was so great when she met our poodle, who immediately was comfortable. Jill was very communicative on the walk day, and sent some great pics of their walk around the neighborhood. Can’t wait to book with Jill again. Thank you!!!”
“I would 100% recommend Hunter for all of your pet care needs. I love that he has the energy to keep up with my very active Pomeranian. He spends quality time with him while I am at work all day which brings a huge sense of comfort. He responds quickly to any question I might have, and I also love that he sends me extra photos of my pup.”
“Taüs is incredibly great with our high needs and sometimes reactive high energy rescue pup. His sense of calm and caring nature ensure Troy always feels safe and secure during their time together. Taüs is always prompt and professional during pick up and drop off which is important as we work from home and often are in meetings during these times. Couldn’t ask for a better fit.”
“Rebecca was fantastic with my pup! He took to her immediately and got excited whenever she came. My dog is a rescue, so he often struggles to trust. Rebecca had great communication and very flexible. I will definitely be using her for my dog walking needs in the future.”
About: Hello! I have lived with at least one pet in my house my whole life so animals are very important to me. I have taken care of a lot of different cats and dogs both small and large. I use to volunteer at a no-kill shelter specifically in the cat section so I understand a lot about caring for cats. I have dog sat all my family and friends dogs at least once when they needed me to so having more than one dog in the house is something I am used to. I adore animals to say the least and that means they will always be priority to me. Dogs cats bunnies birds you name it I will take care of them! My approach to each pet is unique and based specifically for them. I promise your fur baby will be loved a million in my care💞 I currently work full-time however before or after work and on weekends I tend to take up pet jobs. However everyday I personally live with 3 cats and 9 chickens who are always top priority. I work my schedule around them and work but always do my best to have availability for all of you. No matter the pet I always make sure everything needed to them is easily accessible. There is a lot to do for any animal so laziness is never an option for me! I tend to adjust my form of care depending on the pets needs. Some want more lay back days and i’m all for it. Others need to get energy out so we go and do that. Some need to work on social skills and if they aren’t my personal pets I ask for permission before offering some sort of socialization training. Training in general is always offered when needed.
