About Wag 4 Tails
A Wagging Welcome!

For over 18 years, we’ve been proudly serving pets and their humans with integrity, transparency, and a heartfelt passion for what we do.

Community, Care & Connection
We believe in building connections through community – between neighbors, pets, and people. That’s why most of our team members are moms, dads, aunties, uncles, and friendly faces you might already know from your neighborhood. We’re not just dog walkers and pet carers; we’re family, connected by a shared love for animals and our community.

At Wag 4 Tails, we always treat your pets like family. With nearly two decades of experience, we’ve built a legacy of trust, care, and personalized service. Every walk, every visit, and every moment are tailored to bring joy to your pets and peace of mind to you.
Let’s create happy moments together, one wag, one purr, and one step at a time.
Meet the Wag 4 Tails Team!
Maria
Founder and Chief Pet Lover, Mom, Organizer, Coordinator, Problem Solver
Growing up in the country where stray dogs walk freely on the streets I have developed an early love for animals in need of care and affection. After years of growing career in accounting and then programming, raising two beautiful girls in between, I have found true passions unfold when started a dog walking with my best friend Toba in 2007.
Knowing that my job makes a difference in so many pet lives as well as “human” makes every work day fun and filled with gratitude for all the trust we are given.
