This was my first time working with Meredith and I was very impressed with her professionalism and communication. Although she experienced an emergency and had to postpone, she notified me right away, which allowed me to make alternate arrangements without issue. Her responsiveness and reliability gave me confidence, and I would not hesitate to book her again.

We’ve had a wonderful experience working with Lucy. She is consistently punctual and professional, which gives us great peace of mind. One of the things we appreciate most is the care and thoughtfulness she shows during each visit. She often brings her dog, Finn, along to play with our dog, Hazel, and the two of them have become great friends. It’s clear that Hazel looks forward to their time together—she gets so excited every time Lucy arrives. Lucy goes above and beyond in making sure Hazel is happy, exercised, and well cared for. Her reliability, kindness, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional dog walker. We’re truly grateful to have found her and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl I’ve raised 4 puppies into grown adults and now I have my own puppy that I am currently reading and training in my own home. I currently devote my time to my pup and have more than enough availability for dogs small and medium in size for over nights and doggy daycare There is not much yard where I live but tons of sidewalks and patches of grass any dog or pup could have a good playful time in.

About: I’m a caring and attentive dog mom with 6 years of experience and a lifelong love for animals. I’ve cared for family pets over the years and now have two sweet, friendly Shih Tzu mixes of my own. I treat every fur baby like part of my family, giving them plenty of affection, attention, and comfort while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priority! I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide 24-hour care and attention throughout the week and on weekends. My flexible schedule means your pup will always have company, playtime, and plenty of love. I have a spacious home with lots of room to roam, tons of dog toys and treats, and a fully fenced backyard for safe playtime. My two friendly dogs love making new friends, and I can easily crate your dog if needed for comfort or safety.

Kristen was a lifesaver, helping me at short notice and jumping in to support Louie. She also gerry rigged a warmer coat option for him when the one I had was defective. Creative thinking at its best. Louie is thrilled with his new friend.
