I know I post a lot of grooming stuff, but i promise 3 days a week I do mobile nail trims. Ms ripple was a nail trim client turned grooming client. Her and brother (Ollie) have helped me fine tune my skills with such patience. Their mom also really takes care of their coats. Lots of brushing, barely any matting… a true dream to groom. ❤️

Update for booking! I am sure everyone is feeling the effects of rising gas prices. With that said I am trying hard to hold off on any sort of surcharge that I see other companies implementing. With that, I will be rearranging my booked days based on areas. The app I use does not filter people based on area, so if you absolutely need a specific time please message me and I can try to accommodate. Thank you very much.

I am all for children learning responsibility and having a job. Please, I beg you, do not allow your children to have a “dog walking” business or pet sitting. So so many things can go wrong. As a professional, I have 2 decades of experience, insurance, I have my own animals I have trained and worked with. I understand dog behavior, and have the problem solving skills if something were to go wrong.

Maybe have your child volunteer at an animal shelter, do a camp at a local zoo, other enrichment classes around animals. Encourage them to get some library books on their favorite animals… so many ways to educate your kids without the responsibility of a job.

The dangers of dog walking… and why insurance isn’t optional 🐾⚠️
I keep seeing kids advertising dog walking for a bit of pocket money…
Cute? Yes.
A good idea? Not always 👀
Because this isn’t just “walking a dog”…
This is responsibility for a living, breathing animal that can run, react, panic, fight, bolt… in seconds.
So ask yourself 👇
❓ Are they insured?
❓ Do they understand dog behaviour?
❓ Do they know what to do in an emergency?
Because when things go wrong… they go wrong FAST.
🚶‍♀️ Leads slip
🚗 Dogs run into roads
🐕 Aggressive dogs appear out of nowhere
🤕 Injuries happen
🤢 Dogs eat things they shouldn’t
And in that moment… it’s not about pocket money anymore.
It’s about experience, control, and knowing exactly what to do under pressure.
That’s the difference between
“someone who walks dogs”…
and a professional dog walker.
You’re not just paying for a walk…
you’re paying for safety, knowledge, and peace of mind. 🐶

In such a progressive state I cannot believe this happens. She should be in jail.

In such a progressive state I cannot believe this happens. She should be in jail.

A Middleboro woman has plead guilty to 26 counts of animal cruelty after dozens of animals were found neglected in her home. She will serve no jail time… imagine that.

Kimberly Savino, 44, was sentenced to probation through 2032, banned from owning animals, and ordered to undergo treatment and community service. Authorities found multiple animals living in poor conditions, including guinea pigs, dogs and horses; several deceased dogs were stored in a freezer. All the surviving animals were rescued fortunately.

She has a prior conviction in 2014 from when she was living in Michigan.

During the investigation the home was condemned as a health hazard and declared a fire hazard. It was later revealed that no one regularly lived at the house of horrors and Savino visited the animals only once a week which obviously contributed to the gross neglect.
