Specializing In Private Dog Walking and Drop-In Pet Sitting
WHY CHOOSE ME?
There are many reasons to choose Feminist Dog Walker!
I have an unlimited amount of love to give to the pets in my care. I'll love and snuggle your babies like they are my own! During our initial Meet & Greet I like to ask a lot of questions. It’s important for me to have detailed notes about what each pet is used to so I can make our experience together familiar and comforting. Your pet's safety and happiness is my #1 concern!
Do you have a goal in mind when scheduling visits? Does your pet need more exercise, structure, mental stimulation, or just a friend for snuggles? Whatever those needs might be, I’m here for you. Knowing what your goal is will help me shape our time together in a way that has a lasting impact. With updates provided after each visit, you’ll always know what’s going on.
I am educated, prepared for any emergency that may arise, and I proactively avoid situations that are potentially dangerous or uncomfortable for your pet.
