The Jolly Walker

25/08/2024

It’s time 🕰️ for a Jolly Walker weekly 🗓️ update!

This week I was reunited with many old faces which was very special. A lot of smiles and tail wags! And of course, there were the usual suspects too!

Back on the radar was Olive who was sporting her colorful raincoat as we got caught in a summer downpour ☔️ and Gracie 🩶 who enjoyed a couple of check ins!
I was very happy to have Scout and Peanut this week too for a midday walk- I haven’t seen these two since the wintertime!

Continuing onto on leash walks and check ins were Blue, Yaz, Ivy, Moose and Tazzy!

Off leash adventurers included Bodhi and Shelby, both of whom enjoyed their walks with Jolly Walker friend

Ended the week with dog sitting Leroy, who was showing me how he likes to relax 🤣
It was certainly a busy week but having all these wonderful animals makes it all worth it!

10/08/2024

Since the Jolly Walker will be out for a couple days the weekly review is coming to you a day earlier!

Monday I wrapped up with donkeys Mars and Jupiter (caught snoozing!), horses Mozart and Emma who are pictured sharing a drink of water in their paddock!

Visited with doggie siblings Hank, Addie and Beau for their on leash walks! Had the pleasure of taking Blue for a few spins on the leash as well 🩵

Off leashers this week were Shelby, Bodhi and Leroy for their weekly hikes!

I am out of pawffice for the next week but will resume all walks, check ins and dog sitting 🔜

05/08/2024

Time for another Jolly Walker week in review!

Continued this week cat sitting the very cuddly and talkative Mika while her pawrents were on vacation!

In the barn I had the pleasure of continuing care for donkeys Mars and Jupiter, along with horses Emma and Mozart- such kind and gentle souls 🤎 I also cannot forgot their canine siblings Koko and Cardi 🐾

Beating the heat for their off leash walks this week were Bodhi and Shelby!

Looking forward to a drop in this heat and humidity for the upcoming week with more walks on the docket!

29/07/2024

Because I couldn’t fit all my four legged friends into one post, here are the remaining pictures of the off leashers- familiar faces of Bodhi, Leroy and Shelby all enjoyed exploring the woods and fields in beautiful weather after many weeks of grueling heat and humidity! Another busy week is coming up but with such great animals, I am looking forward to all the adventures!

29/07/2024

Back in full gear this past week with many walks, dog sitting and equine sitting! With so much going on this past week this will be a double post!

Geordie and I had a couple more nights together before his pawrents arrived back home from vacation!

Then it was on to dog and equine sitting the crew of canines Cardi B and Koko along with their equine siblings Mozart 🎼, Emma 👅, and miniature donkeys 🫏 Jupiter and Mars who love to provide entertainment!

Alongside the dogs and equines, I have the absolute pleasure of caring for one of the friendliest house cats named Mika 🍣— she loves pets and is always running up to me as I walk through the door 💚

Other equine friends I spent some time with this week included Thomas (pictured) and his barn mates Calvin, Bea and Brando 🐴

On leash walks for this week included Beau, Hank and Addie who posed so beautifully for the camera 📷, & brother and sister Yaz and Ivy ❤️💜

That’s all I can fit into this post but will shortly upload the off leash gang!

22/07/2024

Reporting that it was a very rare, quiet week for the Jolly Walker! Heat related cancellations and vacations made for a less busy week than normal! Starting the week overnight dog sitting the very precious Geordie— Geordie loves playing fetch and chasing bunnies in the yard 🐰

For walks this week was Olive, Leroy and Blue (not pictured). This week will be picking right back up with dog sitting, horse sitting (even cat sitting) and more scheduled walks on the books! Certainly welcomed the down time time but always eager to get back with old and new four legged friends!

15/07/2024

Due to some more technical difficulties this is a repost of the Jolly Walker weekly review! Maybe someday I will get the hang of instagram! Anyway without further ado, here is the correct format of photos! This past week was a VERY hot 🥵 and muggy week—because of this, many walks were shortened in order to keep all friends safe and happy! 🐾

Started the week off with Bella, who I had the pleasure of overnight dog sitting while her family was away on vacation this past week! She was a model in front of the stunning hydrangeas!

On leash, beating the heat this week was Jo, Olive & Blue

Off leash explorers included Bodhi, Leroy and Shelby

It was more of a quieter week but things will be picking up with more adventures come the rest of the month! Hoping everyone is staying cool the best they can, and making sure their four legged friends are too! ☀️

07/07/2024

After a hiatus, it’s back to regularly scheduled programming! The Jolly Walker week in review- and this past holiday week was a busy one! Hope everyone had a safe and fun Fourth of July 🇺🇸

Reunited with equine pals Metro and Sexxy and their canine siblings Piper and Tazman (and I CANNOT forget Chewy the best barn kitty ever, pictured taking a snooze in the tack trunk!) while their family was traveling!

Also had the pleasure of overnight sitting doggie brothers Henry and Barkley this week!

On leash walkers included Blue 💙& Olive 🫒
Off the leash this week were regulars Bodhi, Leroy and Shelby who had a grand time exploring again in the woods and fields!

Happy to be back and in the swing of things! This upcoming week looks like another hot one and I will be taking precautions to make sure all canine friends stay comfortable when walking in this oppressive heat ☀️🌡️

20/06/2024

This week there’s a short weekly update! I hope everyone has been staying COOL 😎 these past couple of days and taking precautions to keep furry friends happy and healthy! Due to the weather many walks were cancelled or shortened.

Starting off this week I had the pleasure of overnight sitting Simon the Airedale terrier, pictured waiting for me to throw his toy!

Surviving the heat this week on leash were Jo, Addie, Beau, Hank, Bella and Olive! Bodhi and Shelby also got one last off leash walk in before I head out of pawffice today!

Just a reminder to all that I will be away until 6/27. Starting 6/28 all scheduled walks and check ins will resume. A lot coming in the future, this summer is going to packed with adventures ☀️🐾🐴

16/06/2024

Second post! For check ins/feedings this week I visited with old friend Ms. Maia, dog siblings Quissett, Toulouse and Zuzu and the very expressive Blue!!

Next week will be a bit quieter as I will be out of the “pawffice” starting June 20th through the 27th!

16/06/2024

It’s a beautiful Sunday and I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend! It’s time for the Jolly Walker week in review! This will be a double post as I can’t fit all my furry friends into one post!

Started the week off dog sitting a new friend, Simon, the very playful and sweet Airedale Terrier! Excited to hang out with him again next week!

Weekly walks were had with friends Bella, Jo, Olive, Yaz and Ivy! Shelby, Bodhi and Leroy enjoyed their off leash hikes! Second post coming soon!

10/06/2024

Second post!
Off the leash was Bodhi, Leroy and Shelby who never miss an opportunity for adventure, rain 🌧️ or shine ☀️!

This week was chock-full of check ins/walks/feedings. Started with handsome Mr Blue who I saw a few times, my old friend Gracie who I saw Wednesday, “the pack” which consists of Peeyo, Gus, Gracie and Juma, saw me a handful of times while their owner was away, along with their equine siblings not pictured. Friday I stopped in a couple times for the darling Tazzy and Moose. I also want to introduce another new group of canine friends who I stopped in for a check in—their names are Zuzu, Toulouse, and Quiesett!

If my math is right, this will be the new record of animals serviced in a week— 21 canines and four equines not pictured!

09/06/2024

It was a BIG week for the Jolly Walker. So big it will require two posts! 🐶

On leash for their weekly walks were Olive 🫒, Bella 🎀, Hazel 🌰 and Willard 🩵. I cannot forgot the three new faces of Addie, Beau and Hank! So happy to be adding these beautiful dogs to the roster! Part two of the weekly update coming next!

03/06/2024

It’s Sunday which means it’s time for the Jolly Walker week in review!

Started the week off with my new pals Baloo and Maverick who I continued to dog sit for at the beginning of the week!

A lot of on leash adventures were had this week. Starting with Bella, who I haven’t seen in a couple of weeks! Hazel the pup, Willard the golden retriever and Xingu the Shiba Inu also enjoyed their on leash walks around their neighborhoods! (The rhododendrons created a pretty backdrop for many of the dogs photos this week!)

Both Blue and Jo got stop in feedings and walks this week!

Lastly, the usual off leash crew (Bodhi, Leroy and Shelby) enjoyed their time exploring the woods multiple times this week! 🌲

Looking forward to next week- I will be reunited with some old faces along with meeting some new friends 🐾

27/05/2024

After a week off, The Jolly Walker is now back in full swing! Plenty of off and on leash walks, check ins and dog sitting!

This week I get the absolute pleasure of dog sitting canine brothers Baloo and Maverick who are total love bugs 💕

The off leash crew this week included Bodhi, Leroy and Shelby who got to explore in perfect weather! ☀️

Spent some more time with Hazel the puppy and Willard the golden retriever who both enjoyed their on leash walks around their neighborhoods!

Sweet Maia got a check in this weekend, she was putting on the cutest “please give me a cookie” face 🥹

Last but not least, checked in on the newest member of the pack, who’s aptly named Blue 💙! His beautiful eyes just melt you! Looking forward to spending more time with Blue periodically while his owner is at work!

Summer is practically here which means The Jolly Walker has a pretty full schedule for the next couple of months! Thank you to all clients and supporters— almost six months of business and I am so grateful seeing it take off! Eager for a summer full of fun with all my four legged friends! ☀️🐾🐴

13/05/2024

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mothers out there (including all the pet moms of course!!) This week was loaded with leash walks, off leash walks, check ins as well as dog and horse sitting!

On the leash for multiple walks this week was Olive, Gracie, brothers Moose and Tazzy, Willard, and the adorable new face of Hazel the puppy!

Off leashers Bodhi, Shelby and Leroy enjoyed the forests 🌳 and fields 🌾 alike this week!

Towards the end of the week I had the pleasure of caring for Thomas (pictured enjoying his lush paddock!) Calvin, and ponies Bea and Brando. I can’t forgot about their four canine siblings Juma, Gus, Peeyo and Gracie!

This will be it for posting for a week as I will be away 5/15-5/22! Looking forward to the upcoming adventures! 🐴🐾

06/05/2024

Another week in the books for The Jolly Walker!

Many good boys and girls this week 🐾 spend the last week with Bella while her family was away on vacation!

On leash crew this week consisted of Olive 🫒 and our newer friend Willard the golden retriever! For off leash hikes Shelby, Bodhi and Leroy all thoroughly
enjoyed exploring in these warmer temps! ☀️🌷

Both Gracie and Jo got check ins and walks as well this week. There’s only a couple weeks of quiet before a very packed summer! So grateful for all these amazing dogs 🐶 and their pawrents!

29/04/2024

Second post for this week! The off leashers of the week were Bodhi, who had his usual walks at Elm Bank, along with Leroy and Shelby who enjoyed running around and exploring the lush fields!

This weekend ended with stopping in to play with Maia along with overnight dog sitting Bella, who I’ll have the pleasure of staying with throughout the week!

👯‍♂️

Due to some technical difficulties, posting the Jolly Walker weekly update a day late…. Wow! The Jolly Walker just put in the busiest week of the year so far! 18 dogs in total were cared for this past week! So many faces that this will be a two part post!

The week started out with friends Gracie, Maui and Boss who I spent the week with while their family is on vacation!

The off leashers of the week, Bodhi, Shelby and Leroy got right down to exploring and playing with friends in the woods!

Semi new faces, Yaz and Ivy enjoyed daily walks through their neighborhood.

Cannot forget about Ms. Olive who also got a couple walks in, both of which were enjoyed under the warmth of the spring sun! ☀️

A few stop ins were made as well at Maia’s house, where she has the happiest face on, playing with her bee 🐝 toy in the yard! Stopped in a few times to feed and watch “the pack” —Bear, Tucker, Sunny and Bourbon, who all so beautifully pose for their pictures!

15/04/2024

The Jolly Walker had a full week of adventure!

Monday started out with brothers Moose & Taz who enjoyed a morning stop in followed by an afternoon walk- we all happily welcomed the 60° weather 😎

Bella 🎀 and Olive 🫒 merrily took their weekly strolls around their neighborhoods in the sunshine before the wet weather started!

Wednesday I was reunited with Gracie for her daily check ins, where she was so perfectly demonstrating “paw”! 🐾

The off leashers of the week included Bodhi, Shelby & Leroy, who all got in a couple of hikes despite the not so favorable weather!

On Thursday I met with Geordie, the newest face of the Jolly Walker- I am very excited to see his sweet little face again in a few months for overnight dog sitting!

Paid a couple visits to Sunny, Bourbon, Bear and Tucker for a mid afternoon check in and dinner feeding- it takes a bit of skill to get everyone in one photo (and looking at the camera!) but nothings too hard when you’re holding the cookies 🤣

This week ends with watching old friends Boss, Gracie and Maui. Eager to have them in my care for the next week as their family is away traveling!

As spring break starts this week for many, The Jolly Walker will continue to be very busy so check back in next Sunday for another weekly recap!

05/04/2024

It was a short week for the Jolly Walker but that doesn’t mean there was any shortage of adventure!

The week began with Bodhi’s weekly off leash walk at elm bank!

Had the chance to catch up with beautiful Maia for a stop in, where we played outside with her favorite toy!

Olive 🫒 and Rosie 🌹 (a newer face to the pack!) braved the rain during their weekly walks around their neighborhoods! Certainly hoping these April showers 🌧️ will bring May flowers 💐

Ended this short week with Shelby and Leroy who were thrilled to get to play and explore in the woods right before the huge storm!

01/04/2024

It’s Sunday, which means it’s time for the Jolly Walker week in review! It was a very rainy ☔️ start to the week but the adventures never stopped!

Had a few great off leash walks with Bodhi this week!

The ladies of the week included Olive, Bella and Jo who enjoyed their walks around their neighborhoods. And can’t forget about Shelby who was giving such a goofy expression for the camera 🤣 during her off leash adventure!

Continued to see sweet Xingu daily, as his owner is away traveling- he is such a gentle little guy ❤️

Leroy made the best of the rain this week— I caught him mid catching a treat, one of his greatest talents!

Very fortunate the bad weather has stopped (for now, I know it won’t last 😅) and hoping everyone had a special weekend, and happy Easter to those who celebrate 🐰

The Jolly Walker is now on Google and that means I am looking for customers to spare a few minutes to write reviews for The Jolly Walker! I am so grateful for all the wonderful pets I am trusted with and being able to watch this little passion of mine take off is so rewarding! Thank you to all who make The Jolly Walker a reality!

It’s time again for The Jolly Walker Weekly updates!

The week began with Bodhi, Bella, and a new friend, Xingu, an 11 year old Shibu Inu who is such a love bug ♥️

Friday I saw an old friend, Jo, who enjoyed an adventurous walk at the race course 🐎 and as usual, Leroy enjoyed his off leash walks!

The rain on Saturday didn’t stop Shelby’s off leash walk, Jolly Walker friend even joined us which made the rain not so bad ☔️

17/03/2024

It’s time for The Jolly Walker weekly review! Happy St. Patrick’s day 🍀!

Throughout the week I got to hang out with Bella and her bunny brother, Armando! 🐰

Also was fortunate enough to have Leroy in my care this week while his family was on vacation! Pictured is Leroy intently watching the geese float down the river, thankfully he didn’t join them🪿!

Monday Bodhi enjoyed his weekly walk at elm bank 🌳

The other Ms. Bella had a couple walks around her neighborhood this week! Wednesday, Gracie got a few stop ins during the very springlike day 🌷☀️

There’s a new, adorable face joining The Jolly Walker, Willard, the golden retriever, who I am very excited to continue weekly walks with!

Pretty busy week full of sweet faces!! Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the weekend!

Part two of The Jolly Walker weekly updates:

This weekend I visited with equine friends Sexxy and Metro along with their canine siblings Tazman and Piper! (Also can’t forget Chewey the barn kitty who keeps a watchful eye on everything!)

And lastly, to end the week, dog sitting another Bella, and her little rabbit brother, Armando 🐰 for the coming week! I don’t have too much experience with rabbits but I will say Armando is one of the more cuddly bunnies I’ve spent time with!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and stayed relatively dry, hope the sun ☀️ can stay out a little longer this week- it’s gonna be another packed week!

10/03/2024

It’s Sunday which means it’s time for The Jolly Walker week in review! This week was a crazy one full of on and off leash adventures, dog sitting and horse care!

To start, Bodhi and I had a handful of off leash walks at elm bank, where he even snuck into the river! 🦦

Miss Bella got her usual morning walks around her neighborhood 🦮

Wednesday saw Gracie girl again who had a couple of stop ins, all of which happened during a break in the rain! (for once!)

Friday I got to spend the morning at a retired horse farm! All these sweet old timers made my morning! Names in order of photos: Will, Gizmo, Lacey, Joseph and Gilly!

Leroy was all about getting comfortable Friday night, as he showed me his spot on the couch! 🤣 I will be seeing him throughout the week as his owners are away on vacation!

I can’t forgot about Shelby who was a firecracker 🧨 this weekend on her off leash walk in the woods where she was running, making friends and catching sticks, and posed so adorably on this log

There’s still many photos to share, so keep an eye out for part two of the weekly update!!

03/03/2024

The Jolly walker weekly updates! This week was much quieter than the previous! Monday saw usual faces, Bella and Bodhi who enjoyed the slightly warmer weather we are experiencing! Shelby and Leroy got multiple off leash walks too this week! The quiet won’t last for long - stay tuned for more dogs and equine friends! 🐕🌸🐾
