Ashley and Abbie have been amazing with our dog Magnolia! She looks forward to their visits every week and I know she is in great hands. They have been very receptive to integrating our training commands into their walks so that our pup gets consistent practice. They are always on time and give our girl endless love! If you are looking for a dog walker or sitter who will truly love and care for your pup, is reliable and who communicates well then definitely check them out!

As longtime owners of Siberian Huskies, we are VERY particular about who we allow to stay with our pups or even walk them. I don't even let me own mother walk them. If you are familiar with this breed, you know why. They are challenging at best. Ashley is trustworthy, friendly and is a true dog lover. She treats our Finny like her own and I have recommended her to our other close friends in our northern breed community. She also throws in a little training in with her care giving. Knowing we have her to take such good care of Finny gives us peace of mind to actually take a vacation and that is a huge deal.
