What We Offer
It’s 5:30 PM. You’re exhausted from a long day, but your dog is bouncing off the walls after hours inside. That’s where I step in.
Whether you're stuck in back-to-back meetings, recovering from an injury, or heading out for a day trip, a structured walk gives your pup the movement and mental decompression they crave — so you can both actually relax when you reunite.
No guilt, no stress. I’ve got you.

I will come to your home and let your dog out, making sure they’re emotionally and physically ready to take on the big world. After safely leashing them up, I’ll take them on a ~20-30 min walk around the neighborhood while closely monitoring their comfort level. Finally I’ll settle them safely and comfortably at home eagerly waiting your return.
This is ideal for dogs who need stimulation, and in some cases practice being in the world. They don’t have to be the most active (everyone loves a stroll!) or the most well-behaved! This is their time and I’m here to listen to what they need.
PLEASE NOTE: Applicable add-ons — such as additional dogs ($15 per dog per 30 minutes) and puppies <1 year ($5 per puppy per 30 minutes) — or surcharges like holiday and travel are billed separately.

I will come to your home and let your dog out, making sure they’re emotionally and physically ready to take on the big world. After safely leashing them up, I’ll take them on a ~45-60 min walk around the neighborhood while closely monitoring their comfort level. Finally I’ll settle them safely and comfortably at home eagerly waiting your return.
This is ideal for super active dogs who need stimulation and physical exertion. This is a long time out and about, so this service is best for a pup who isn’t super stressed in unpredictable settings.
As always, I pay attention to body language to monitor physical and mental state to ensure we do what they need in that hour.
PLEASE NOTE: Applicable add-ons — such as additional dogs ($15 per dog per 30 minutes) and puppies <1 year ($5 per puppy per 30 minutes) — or surcharges like holiday and travel are billed separately.

I will come to your home and let your dogs out, making sure they’re emotionally and physically ready to take on the big world. After safely leashing them up, I’ll take them on a either a 20-30 min OR a 45-60 min walk around the neighborhood while closely monitoring their comfort level. Finally I’ll settle them safely and comfortably at home eagerly waiting your return.
This is ideal for two dogs that are either used to walking together or do well enough on leashes that they can be managed by one person. If that isn’t the case, neither pup may end up not getting what they need out of the walk.
As always safety is my priority, so I ensure no one is chasing that squirrel all the way into the woods or following the UPS truck up the road. That is why this service is currently capped at 2 dogs.
PLEASE NOTE: Additional dogs are considered an add-on and cost $15 per dog per 30 minutes. Other add-ons — like puppies <1 year ($5 per puppy per 30 minutes) — or surcharges like holiday and travel are billed separately.

Keep your dog on a predictable routine—and save some cash while you're at it. I’ll come to your home on set days each week to handle your pup's walks or visits, providing consistent, science-backed care that keeps their nervous system (and your calendar) perfectly balanced.
This is ideal for busy office-goers, regular WFH pros, and routine-loving pups who thrive on predictability. You get a locked-in schedule, a fixed monthly rate, and built-in savings without the hassle of rebooking every week.
As always, care is tailored to your pet's specific body language and energy levels, ensuring they get the exact mental and physical outlet they need.
PLEASE NOTE: Subscriptions are billed on the 1st of each month (with no long-term contracts, just 15 days' notice to change or cancel). Surcharges and add-ons apply separately.

Need high-quality pet care that flexes around a unpredictable schedule? Grab a discounted credit bundle and use your visits whenever you need them — whether that’s three times one week or once the next.
This is ideal for hybrid workers, shift workers, or anyone whose calendar changes week-to-week. You get discounted per-visit pricing without committing to the exact same days every single month.
As always, every visit or walk redeemed with your credits includes our signature hyper-detailed care, customized decompression time, and real-time photo updates.
PLEASE NOTE: All credit bundles must be used within 60 days of purchase and are non-refundable. Standard scheduling availability applies. Surcharges and add-ons apply separately.

What Makes Us Different
Structured & Customized
A walk should fit the dog, not the other way around. Whether your pup needs a high-energy jog, an observation session to build confidence, or a rich "sniffari" where their nose does the heavy lifting, we customize every outing to what their mind and body actually need that day.
Judgment-Free Dog Care
I specialize in the sensitive souls, the big barkers, and the easily overwhelmed. As a fellow anxious pup mama, I offer a 100% judgment-free leash handling experience. Using positive, force-free management and subtle behavioral techniques, I help reactive dogs feel safe in their surroundings — reducing stress on their end, and adding relief to yours.
Decompression Over Perfection
I don't demand robotic obedience on a leash. My goal is decompression, confidence-building, and safety. By giving dogs appropriate choices and room to explore we burn off mental energy and help regulate their nervous system, leaving you with a calmer, happier pup when you get home.
Hyper-Detailed Safety & Routing
From checking gear fits before stepping out the door to mapping out low-trigger routes in Durham, safety is non-negotiable. As a self-proclaimed perfectionist, I take detailed notes on your pup's specific triggers, route preferences, and post-walk cool-down routines so every walk is seamless, secure, and stress-free for all.
