“Julie has been very professional and kind and very quick to respond to messages, which I greatly appreciate. I know Cooper's in good hands getting a walk while I'm at work.”
About: My 5yo Boston Terrier has special needs-it’s made me more attentive, adaptable, sensitive and patient to dog needs. I had a dog prior that I helped care for, as well as a friend’s anxious dog that I’ve done weekends with while they’re away. I work from home and do real estate, I make my own schedule so I am flexible. I’m generally available after 11am mon-fri, after noon on Sundays and am available some Saturdays. I can do occasional morning appointments. I have a back yard that’s partially fenced, I have my dog and the neighbors dog (another boston terrier) that often play together in the yard. I have a crate available if necessary. As long as they get along with other dogs I am happy to take a dog to my house for some playtime or a few hours. I’m mainly available for walking in general!
“Sabrina is wonderful with dogs and clearly has a lot of experience. She is very accommodating as well as responsive. I feel completely comfortable and confident having her looking after my snarky (but lovable) pup!”
“Mary has done an excellent job. She shows up on time and gives our dog a nice walk. He seems glad to see her on those occasions when my wife was home at walk time. Happy to suggest her to others.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Victoria! From day one, her communication has been clear, timely, and thoughtful—keeping us updated with photos and messages every walk. Her professionalism truly stands out, and it’s clear how much she cares. As a sweet bonus, she even made homemade treats and gave us a special doggy bag as a thank-you for trusting her with our pup. It’s rare to find someone so reliable and kind—we highly recommend her!”
“Kristen has just started walking Lili and has been great! Lili has warmed right up to her. We love the photo updates! They make us laugh and "aw" when we cant be with our girl! Thank you Kristen for helping us and getting Lili out for fresh air and cuddle time during the day!”
