About: Since a young age, I've taken care of many different kinds of dogs, big or small, puppies or elderly, and rescues. I've always had a genuine love for animals, especially dogs, and I can tell dogs feel my energy! I like to play and care for dogs, feeding them, throwing toys, running around, walking them, or just sitting with them. I can handle any type of dog, whether that be needy, high energy, timid rescue, or laid back dogs. I've never met a dog who hasn't warmed up to me fast. I'm currently not working, so I'm practically free almost everyday. Even when I have a lot of stuff in my schedule, I'm still very flexible. I can feed them easily if they have a schedule or specific eating habits. I can make sure they go to the bathroom regularly and stay hydrated. I'll always make them feel safe and secure when I'm caring for them, and help them whenever I can. I pay attention to needs and am quick to act. Walking them is not a problem, and I can go pretty long distances or run to get in some exercise for them.

“Hayley was incredibly professional and knowledgeable about handling my overbearing horse of a dog. I have a massive Great Dane/Bull Mastiff mix and she was totally up to the challenge of walking Gerald. Gerald can be a bit much and scare off people but she did not back down! Would highly recommend her to anyone!”
