The Pawfectionist was created with a dream in mind. To help dog owners live harmonious lives with their four-legged companions. To allow them the peace of mind to leave for work knowing that someone would be by to exercise and relax their dog while they are gone, the joy and relief  to have someone to help explore avenues to prevent and/or modify problem behaviours their dog is exhibiting, and to be a source of whatever one might physically need in the process.
