Dog Walking

There’s no denying that exercise is just as important to man’s best friend as it is to humans. Our private dog walks provide important health benefits and lots of fun for your pooch while ensuring their safety.

I was super nervous leaving my dog while going on vacation, he gets anxious if we leave and we've never left him home before. Cherie has always been highly recommended and it fits!!! if I could rate her 100 stars I would!! she took amazing care of my pup and mom's cats while we were on vacation! Cherie sent us daily updates, with pics and a little blurb about how they were doing! love her!! ❤️❤️❤️

We are so happy and thankful to have found Cherie to take care of our dog, Chanclas, during our vacations. Cherie is so caring and has provided us with updates and pictures of Chanclas while we are away. She is very responsive and easy to communicate with. I love that my kids know her by name now, so when we are away from our pet they know Cherie is taking excellent care of him! Thank you for all that you do!

Nova loved the visits from Jess & Cherie... They came everyday played with Nova and made sure he had water and did his “business” before he came back in. Now Nova can’t wait for them to come back‼️ Thanks ladies~ you made me feel better too! Thanks for the text each day filling me in. 🐾

Thank goodness for Cherie and Wags, Walks n Whiskers!!!! Cherie has had the key to our house and our hearts for several years! We rely on her every weekend Dec-March and during family vacations to "dog-sit" for us, but she is so much more than a sitter. She plays with them, loves them, and watches over our house while we are away. I have always been apprehensive to give out our key, but never thought twice about it with Cherie. Very grateful for a trustworthy provider, professional business (with easy PayPal payment options), and companionship for our furry family members. Thank you!

Cherie is awesome. My dogs were happy and well cared for and I was able to leave them in our house rather than put them somewhere for boarding, which is more traumatic and expensive. She's trustworthy and loves the dogs. I can't wait till use her again!

Yes, I definitely recommend Wags Walks n Whiskers ! Cherie helped us out when we went away for a day - she first came to my home and met Cissy, our beagle / border collie fur baby, took many notes on her care feeding & walking habits - then came back 2 times to walk feed her and take her out ! Cissy loved her, she was very content, calm and relaxed when we got back ! Cherie is very efficient, very caring, and extremely competent in taking care of your puppy, dog, cat or kitten - you can trust her in your home taking good care of your forever fur baby ! Call her today ! You will be happy you did !
