Kimberly runs a great company. Josh, our walker provides nice long walks that my dogs love and has trained my dog, Dakota, to stop being reactive to other dogs! I wasnt expecting this added bonus. Hes now much easier for me to walk.

It is hard to believe that Kim has been taking care of our Artie for 5 years! I really don't have a single complaint. During the pandemic, every precaution has been taken to keep families, walkers, and of course, the dogs safe. At the same time, Wags 4 Walks has maintained a consistent schedule of walks that keeps Artie physically and socially stimulated. Kim is an amazing resource when you need advice about anything dog-related. I love how she passes on funny stories and information about Artie's walks. He has had a variety of walkers over the past five years, and they have all been

Kim & Wags have been helping me with my dog walking/sitting needs for close to 15 years. Over that time some of the the walker's faces have changed but the commitment to her clients happiness, both 2 legged and 4, has remained Kim's number one priority. Dog owners are a particular breed of folk and often view their pooches as members of the family. Whether it be dietary & health needs or extra layers to combat the changing seasons, they often put their pets needs ahead of their own. I used to laugh at such people...and then I became one. I was extremely selective of who I could trust my dog, Wyatt
