ms. Kelsey, Professional Pet Care Specialist

Hello! I'm Kelsey, I’m a Pet Care Specialist at Walk This Way Pet Care!

I have been taking care of pets and animals for 5 years! It started when I was young, my parents friends and customers trusted me and would often ask me to pet sit or walk their dogs. I have experience with a lot of different types of animals, from farm animals, to dogs and cats, to reptiles and birds! I have always had a deep and genuine passion for animals and caring for them brings me so much joy. On top of that, being able to bring comfort and joy to pet parents warms my heart because I know I’d want someone to do it for my pets too. On the topic of pets I have three, two cats and one dog!"

ms. Jessica, Professional Pet Care Specialist

Hi, I’m Jessica! I’m so excited to be part of the Walk This Way family. I’ve always had a huge love for animals and I really enjoy getting to know all the different personalities—both the pets and their amazing owners! My experience with overnight pet sitting has been such a rewarding journey, and it’s what brought me here. I can’t wait to meet you and your beloved furry friends!

Judy Hutchison

I have used Walk This Way Pet Care on several occasions. Christie is great and very caring! My little poodle is picky who she likes, but Christie won her over. I have / would recommend this service to everyone! It is so satisfying to have someone you trust to take care of your fur baby!!!

Sandra Ezell

Christie is the love of my dogs’ lives. She makes them so happy and she takes the best pictures of their happy faces.

Cindy Young

Christie is a phenomenal dog walker and truly goes above and beyond! Not only is she always punctual and professional, but she also takes the time to engage with the dogs during their walks. Christie’s communication is excellent; she sends photos and updates, which reassures our pets are safe and having a great time! I’ve also used them for my cat sitting! I can’t recommend “Walk This Way” enough!” Thank you Christie, and team!

Melanie Johnson

I feel confident knowing my pup is in good hands with Christie! I never worry! She sends daily updates with pictures that I look forward to reading daily! I trust her judgement and experience with dogs. I love her enthusiasm with my pup. Not only does she care about my pup but she has left little random thoughts of kindness for me 🥹 she is a gem and I am truly grateful as a first time dog mom! She responded quickly when I needed help asap and have watched (and continues) to watch my pup grow! Thank you Christie for all that you do for us! From our heart to yours! 🐶💙🐾

Maggie Castor

Christie is the best! She’s friendly, professional, and timely. We have been using her dog walking and training service “Walk this Way” as a part-time caregiver for our Labrador, Spirit, when we travel out of town. Its been a perfect solution for us – instead of boarding him at a local Pet boarding provider. Thanks Christie!

Alex Rife

Look no further if you are in search of someone trustworthy, kind and professional to watch your fur babies! Christie Ann has been amazing taking care of my two dogs! I appreciate clear communication and updates when she is with them, and cute photo updates through out their day! I can’t thank you enough Christie Ann, for the time and patience you always have with the dogs! She is your go to 🙂

Christi does a great job with our dog Finn!
Would recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and caring dog walker

I can tell Finn looks forwards to visit from her as well!

Andrew Shomette

I have had nothing but good experiences with Christie. My dogs love her, and she has been very accommodating when something comes up and I need help with my dogs on short notice.

Charles Adkins

We have found the service to be easy to book, reliable and we are provided with the peace of mind knowing our doggies are well cared for. We receive updates as soon as their walk is done, complete with pictures of their cute post-walk faces. The service’s understanding and handling of special needs is excellent (we have a dog that thinks everyone is trying to kill her). I would highly recommend over other services and most certainly over boarding facilities.

Emily Hobby

Christie Ann takes such good care of our cats! We were out of the country for almost a month and I had no worries whatsoever. She’s the best!

Deanna Klimas

I found Christie after using rover for months and I’m so happy with everything! Scheduling is so easy and the reports/photos are detailed. I highly recommend!!

Ben Kaufman

Christie Ann, Sierra & Cari of Walk This Way Petcare take excellent care of my girls. The booking system is super easy to use. I get an alert and love knowing when my Petsitter is on their way. After their visit I get a quick recap of what my furkids did & how the visit went. I am so happy I found them for help with my pets’ care.

Timothy Dixon

Ross and I have had the privilege of Walk This Way Pet Care for quite some time. I really would like to smear them cause we want them to ourselves lol

Hands down the best service I’ve seen! Personalized communication and readily available. The recap after a visit…. top tier! The pic is how Ross looks every time he knows he’s getting a visit

Ashley Hall

The caregivers with Time to Pet give me so much peace of mind!! My dog, Harley, a rambunctious six year old mix breed loves her sitters and they love her. They play and take time with her when I cannot be at home. I really cannot say enough nice things about this wonderful service. I feel fortunate to have found them!
