“She is an so amazing with both of our dogs, she makes sure both my pitties get a great mid day exercise and this is the first time I’ve come home from work and they aren’t filled with pent up energy. I whole heartedly trust her with my fur babies. She made sure she addressed concerns ahead of time which I loved.”
“Dana is AWESOME! She is very thorough and loving walker. 10/10 would recommend her to walk your pup. She met with us before she started walking my pup, and my Ollie loved her instantly, and so did we!! She took notes on everything we told her about our pupper. She’s extremely experienced and gives a full report after each walk. Thank you so much Dana! You have made our days so much easier by helping out with our little boy!!”
“Met Josh for an interview and he took his time coming through the door to make sure my dog was comfortable, that was great. We all went for a walk and chatted about what I was expecting as an owner and what was best for my dog. I hired him for a few walks to see how it went and everything was wonderful. Very respectful, sent photos and updated me when he arrived, walked and left. We are very happy to have someone so responsible and kind when we are gone from the house. Shorty says Hire Josh :)”

About: I grew up with a high-energy border collie, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to handle smart dogs! Since college, I’ve occasionally walked and sat for friends’ pets, especially during med school. I’m attentive, reliable, and always make sure pets feel safe and cared for. I’m currently between jobs and have a very flexible schedule. I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s specific needs, be it morning walks, house sitting, or anything in between. I offer pet care in your home to help your pet stay comfortable in their familiar space. I respect your home and routines, and I always prioritize your pet’s safety and well-being. I’m calm and detail oriented, whether it’s medications, feedings, or just giving them love and attention.
“Book Rebecca ASAP! I can’t recommend her enough! Rebecca’s personality is amazing. My dog loved her! She was so sweet to my dog Rain. Rebecca sent me a bunch of really good pictures and pictures of them playing. I am very hesitant with who I leave my baby girl with but I could tell with the amount of questions she asked the she had ALOT of knowledge and experience. Rebecca made sure to ask about any allergies and if she’s good with other dogs, ect. Also it make me feel a lot better knowing she is CPR certified, & could give my dog CPR if needed. Will 100% be using Rebecca again.”
