Some of the lovely pets we’ve cared for

Who we are…

We’re a team of college students who share a lifelong love for animals. Each of us grew up with pets in our homes, and we know just how much they mean to family life. That’s why we started Pawsitive Strides, to give your furry friends the same care, attention, and affection we give our own. From walks to overnight stays, we bring energy, responsibility, and genuine passion to every visit.
