Perry is a very thorough and caring walker. We enjoy getting his report cards and seeing how our pup does.

Perry was very caring with Nalu. Since Nalu is still a puppy, he is still learning to potty on leash. Perry spent the time to help Nalu use our astroturf on the patio in case he still needed to go after his walk. Would definitely recommend!

My dogs immediately loved Joseph and I got updates throughout their walk. Will definitely book him again.
