Hi, my name is Jen and I have been a dog owner for years. I love playing with them and seeing there tails wagging when I come home. I love being outside with them. I love seeing how happy dogs are when you come to someone’s house and see a dog with their tail wagging away knowing they are going for a walk. Makes me so happy to see that!

“A walk a day keeps doctors away!”
I’ve grown up w/ dogs ever since I was in diapers. Our family dogs were adopted from a shelter. I spent mornings & nights walking & training them. I moved away and will miss them endlessly. I can’t wait to provide your pet w/ the love and care they deserve while benefiting from the pure joy “man's best friend” brings to this world! I specialize in handling large breeds and dogs that pull. Ive worked with dog trainers in the past. I live in a pet friendly apartment and your dog will feel at home.

“Flippin’ Pawsome Dogs Deserve the Flippin’ Best”
Hi, I'm Jackie and I've been a dog lover since birth...seriously, recently unearthed home movies show my parents teaching me to say "dog sit" at 9-months-old. In addition to Wag, I own my own dog training business. I own three dogs: an American Pit Bull Terrier named Kid, a poodle/terrier mix named Charlie and a working-line German Shepherd named Grady. I look forward to meeting your pets and giving them the same care and love I give to my own dogs on walks.
