Hi, I'm Demetrius! What can I say, I LOVE DOGS...I mean I love all animals but dogs are just the top! I've had dogs my entire life, from little fluffy white dogs to muscle bound pit-bulls. My most recent, an English Bulldog named Hollywood, unfortunately passed after 11 amazing years and I'm without a pooch for the moment. I hope you allow me the pleasure of taking care of your important family member while you are at work or away and I will treat him or her as if they were my own!

I love animals and especially dogs! I grew up with a beagle and have been walking dogs for neighbors and family friends since I was in middle school. I have also done pet sitting where I stayed at an owner's house and was completely responsible for their pet's care while they were away. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make sure you and your dog are satisfied!

Whether it's a walk around the neighborhood or taking a trip to the dog park, I'm always looking forward to my walks. I have experience with walking 50 different breeds of all sizes, and it's a pleasure meeting new pups. The more the merrier. The time I get to spend with a dog, young or not so young, small or not so small, makes the day that much better.

Hi! My name is Jessyka. I have worked with dogs in various capacities my whole life, and professionally since June of 2017. For six years I cared for Lily, a Boxer/Pit mix with a TON of energy. She had severe separation anxiety and stranger aggression so I specialize in dogs with difficult behaviors. I look forward to meeting you and your puppy!

Hi my name is Hunter! I'm an animal lover and pet owner myself. I know our pets are family and how important it is to make sure they're taken care of. I've had dogs in my home since as long as I can remember and know how to give them the love and respect they deserve. I've worked office jobs and long hour days, so I understand the need for a reliable person to be there. I would be happy and honored to get to care for your pup, big or small, old or young!

“They call me the dog whisperer all dogs welcome”
I am a responsible caring dog walker and sitter with 15+ years of experience. I will treat all dogs as if they were my own and give them all the love and cuddles they can handle while also being stern when neccesary. I have been called a dog whisperer because i havent really met a dog that didnt like me and most warm up to me almost immediately. If you choose me as your walker i will give your dog the best experience possible and i look forward to meeting and bonding with your companions.
