Why Are Dog Walks So Important?

Dogs love to walk and need exercise everyday! It is one of the best ways to help with common behavior problems, like anxiety, aggression, chewing and depression. Walking and play helps stimulate their senses, activate their minds, and improve their circulation. Being outdoors helps them reconnect with nature and fulfill their natural curiosity to explore. Most dog behavior problems come from dogs not being walked regularly. Dogs that don't exercise enough can become destructive with their behaviors and fearful. They need a release for all that energy they have! Regular exercise also helps your canine companion sleep better at night and be more at ease while hanging around at home.

Why Is Playtime Important For Your Kitty?

Cats need exercise and playtime too! There are
many benefits to playtime like exercise, release
of anxiety, and boredom. Playtime is also great for
socialization of your cat. It keeps their senses
stimulated. Some cats prefer to be left alone and
only have their litter box/potty area changed and 
that's  fine too.

What About Small Pets?

Creature critters such as rats and guinea pigs are social in nature and need companionship and playtime. They do prefer to live in pairs or more. Rats are extremely intelligent, can be potty trained, and are like minature doggies with a long tail. They are very loving and enjoy nice belly rubs. Rabbits are social creatures as well and they need interaction with other rabbits or their owners daily, and playtime outside of their cages/cases to be healthy. Rabbits can be litter box trained and live more than ten years!


Hamsters are nocturnal animals and enjoy sleeping during the day and being active
at night. They love their privacy and enjoy a variety of fresh veggies daily. Keeping
their aquariums/cages clean is vital to their good health.

A Little About Me

I am a happy dog parent of a beautiful Maltese named Shaggy. Being a dog parent brings me great joy and peace. Shaggy is a rare gem. I have been an animal lover for much of my life and I've had the pleasure of sharing my life with dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters (many varieties), guinea pigs, and other creature critters. I have many years of experience taking care of a variety of pets, and caring for my clients' pets is extremely rewarding. I love dog walking and I love making pets feel happy, safe and secure. According to Chinese astrology, I am the year of the dog! My first dog walking experience ever, took place when I was 6 years old, with a beautiful Chow mix named Panda. We hiked together in the lush forests of the Colorado Rockies. I loved his purple tongue and remember fondly how protective he was!

My Thoughts About Our Pets:

Pets are interesting, intelligent, funny, loving, kind, curious and compassionate. They don't speak like we do, but they sure do communicate honestly what they feel and in their own special way. Pets teach us to appreciate their individuality with a whole spectrum of temperaments very similar to ours. I completely understand how picky pets are too, just like us. We are all finicky. There is always something we can learn from them which only enriches our lives. They are our immediate family and we love them deeply.  

Quality care is extremely important to me while you are away. In taking care of multiple pets throughout my life, I understand what it feels like to worry about who will be taking care of your pets while you are on vacation or out of town. Family members and friends may not be so enthusiastic to pet sit while you are away, and you may feel uncomfortable to ask them. You may also not feel so trusting either. If you have more than one pet, it can get a bit stressful worrying about getting them the quality care they need for the time you are gone. You want to feel at ease while you're away from home.

Whether you are at work all day, out on a short trip, or a long trip, be assured that your companions will be well taken care of in the comfort of their own home. I will treat your pets as if they are my own with lots of compassion, care, patience, and love. What I offer your pets, is what I would give my own. They will get the best care!
