Kalamazoo Barks & Recreation

Lily Rose & I have an announcement to make!! 🥳🐾

I got my X-ray results back on Monday, and it turns out my foot isn’t broken after all! 🙌🏼 I’ve been walking pretty well the past few days, and hopefully within the next week or so, I’ll be back to offering dog walking services! 🐕💗

Thank you all for your patience while I’ve been recovering! I can’t wait to get back out there walking miles with my furry friends again! 🐾💕

🚨 OUT OF COMMISSION 🚨

Unfortunately, your girl has officially lost a fight with the sidewalk and broken her foot.

Effective immediately, I will be retiring from my professional dog walking career until further notice. The dogs have legs, I apparently do not.

All jokes aside, I’ll be temporarily suspending dog walking services while I recover. Thank you for your patience and understanding while I work on becoming a functioning member of society again. 😂❤️

Please keep me and my orthopedic boot in your thoughts. ☠️

6 months of Barks & Rec being full time, and what better way to celebrate than surpassing 50 repeat clients! 🐾

Huge shoutout to my amazing clients for all of their support and for helping turn my dream into a reality. Without this community, I’m not sure where I’d be, and I’m eternally grateful for all of you and your pets! 🐱🐶

Now enjoy a photo dump of some of my September pups! 😍

The “mellow” yellows of the day! 💛🐶

Don’t be fooled! Fisher & Mina are NOT siblings. They just met today! 😂 And honestly, “love at first woof” would be an understatement. These two hit it off instantly and have been the sweetest little duo!
