Q. Who will be walking or visiting my pets?

Q. I have a variety of pets at home, what kind of animals do you visit?

A. I love ALL animals. That includes dogs, cats, birds, fish, snakes, lizards, mice & rats, ferrets, rabbits, frogs, turtles, and exotic pets. I generally charge one flat rate (based on time spent at your home) for households with more than one type of animal or with multiple animals needing care in same household.

Q. What does a typical visit include?

A. A typical visit includes walking your dog around the neighborhood or spending time with your cats or other animals. I only walk your dog(s) and will never be walking a pack of other dogs with your dog at the same time. I provide one on one attention and love for each pet. Most people notice how animals are drawn to me from the moment we meet. I love playing with them, scratching/massaging them and just showering them with love and attention. I believe all animals are beautiful souls and I treat them with the love, attention, and respect they deserve. Please see "Services & Prices" for more information and description of the services I provide.

Q. Do you provide training for dogs?

A. While I am not an official dog trainer, I do work with dogs to reinforce any training they may have already had at your request. I work with puppies and dogs, in accordance to your wishes, to guide them to good behavior. I can teach them basic commands & reinforce basic commands at each visit within the amount of time you have purchased. Basic commands are sit, stay, come, heel, down, leave it, etc... I believe in Exercise, Discipline, and Love. I Never touch any animal in a harmful way. I only correct with a firm verbal "No" unless you specify a correctional method you prefer (i.e. squirt of water from water bottle or shake a can with coins in it) but only at YOUR request.

Q. Do you provide dog walks or visits on last minute notice?

A. While I do prefer at least 24 to 48 hours notice, I am flexible and I do try to help out with emergency visits and last minute visits if I can. Please call, send a text or email me for fastest reply.

Q. What makes you different from other dog walking companies?

A. This is my personal and professional business. It is family owned (husband and wife team). While other dog walking companies may send out a different person each time to your home, you can rest assured you will receive the same dedicated service each time from either myself or my husband. I provide the highest quality of service and customer satisfaction possible. I am insured (so you and your loved ones are covered), I have 2 years professional experience as well as 19 years of personal experience (I cared for my first pet starting at 6 years old) and my husband was a professional dog walker & pet sitter before we were married. I provide dedicated one on one attention with your pet and watch them carefully on walks to prevent them from eating things off the street or stepping in/eating poop left behind by other dogs or cats. I keep a watchful eye out and open ears for stray dogs or passing cars. I provide love and care with dog massages (they love them) and play time. I have a special connection with animals that helps facilitate a better experience for them and you. I offer many services for your convenience. If you hire me just for individual dog walks but an emergency comes up and you have to leave town - you already have a pet sitter on hand to care for your loved ones while you are away. I also can provide trips to the vet and pick up pet food/supplies at the store for the cost of the items and my time. As both my husband and I provide pet sitting and dog walks full time professionally, we will help out with your needs as much as possible. While we prefer at least 24 to 48 hours notice for scheduled services, we are flexible and are prepared to help with last minute or emergency needs if our schedule allows it.

Q. Do you provide boarding or overnight visits?

A. I do offer overnight pet sitting in the comfort of your home. I will arrive in the evening. I will feed and walk your dog in the evening (as many walks as your prefer while I am there). I will play with them and provide lots of love and attention. I will sleep in your home and leave in the morning. In the morning before I leave, I will feed and walk your pets, as well as provide more love and attention. I also can water the plants, bring in the mail & newspaper, turn a/c on or off, etc... Arrival and Departure times vary based on my schedule. If you would like one or more mid-day walks as well, that is not included in the base overnight price of $30/night but can be included at my regular rates. See Services & Prices for more information. I will contact you with email, text, or phone call to keep you updated and provide pictures.

A. I do offer boarding where your pet stays in the comfort of my home. Someone (either my husband or myself) will be at home with your pet at all times (24/7). Your pet will get the ultimate amount of love and attention. Walks, feedings, play time, loving, & attention are all included. I do ask that you provide their food (to keep their diet the same and prevent stomach upset problems), their food dishes, bedding, toys, etc... to help them feel even more at home. Boarding availability varies based on my schedule and I can only keep 3 dogs at one time. I will keep you updated to your pets status by email, text, or phone call with pictures.
