“Experienced, reliable & excited to meet your pup!”
I’m so excited to be able to share my passion for being outside with all the new and old doggos in my life! I have 10 years of experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. I spent the last year working at an animal sanctuary in South America where I was responsible for the care, management and enrichment of 21 wild felines, which included taking them on daily walks in the jungle. I’m thrilled to now offer my care, love and time for more people’s best friends!

“4.97 Star Rated - Top Walker - Thank You!”
Hello, I am Cindy and I love dogs. All kinds of dogs. I am retired and decided I want to walk other peoples dogs since both my lovers died this year of old age. I miss having a dog around very much but want to do some travelling right now. I would love the chance to spoil your dogs rotten just like I used to do mine. For the past 6 years, I have spent many hours a day helping shelter dogs get relocated out of Kentucky (where the animal protection laws are the worst in the nation).

“I love animals and I can't wait to meet your pet!”
Hi, I'm Kenzie! To me, pets count as additional family members. I have lived with cats and dogs for my entire life. I'm familiar with all sizes and breeds. I've worked with many families for years, house- and pet-sitting and then I started walking for Wag in March of 2018. I love getting to know the pets I work with, because I think that each and every animal has their own quirks and personality. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I can't wait to do the same with your furry friend!

“DOG LOVER EXTRAORDINAIRE AT YOUR SERVICE”
Hi there! My name is Amber and I am the lucky furmom of 5 absolutely spoiled rotten kids. I have 3 medium sized mixed breeds, a 10 pound Shih Tzu and a 5 pound Chihuahua…all rescues! We make a big happy family. I don't remember a time when a dog was not apart of my life. Dogs hold a special place in my heart. I'd love to help your babies get some much needed exercise. I love to take pictures and videos. Plan on seeing lots of smiles from our walks!

“Best walking partner for your furry friend!”
Hello, I'm Sasha and I've grown up with dogs all my life. I've had large dogs and small dogs; I love them all equally! I've also taken care of neighbors and friends dogs when they had been out of town. Dogs make exercising more exciting! Playing ball and tug-o-war is just as fun!

I grew up with a rotating cast of cats and a dog, all of whom I helped to feed, walk, and play with. Furthermore, my childhood neighborhood was full of families with dogs, giving me extra opportunities to socialize and help care for some canine friends. Since the summer of 2016, I have been volunteering with a local animal shelter, where I walk dogs and help to socialize them. I am excited to be a part of Wag! and I can't wait to get to know you and your furry pal.
