I had a great experience with Amanda walking my dog Elio. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly very comfortable with dogs. Elio came back happy, calm, and well cared for, which always says a lot. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave him and would absolutely feel confident having her walk him again. Thank you for taking such good care of Elio!

This trail goes all the way into downtown Rochester, so go as long as your pup’s paws will allow.
