Maya D.

Founder/ Lead Dog Walker

Hi, I’m Maya, one half of Desert Duo Walkers! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with six pets : a Golden Retriever, Aussie, Husky, Basset Hound, Lab, an orange tabby cat, and a tuxedo cat. each one teaching me patience, responsibility, and a deep understanding of different breeds and personalities.

I’m outdoorsy, active, and truly passionate about giving dogs the love, attention, and exercise they deserve. Whether I’m walking high-energy pups or comforting gentle souls, I always bring care, calmness, and reliability to every visit.

I treat every dog like family, and I can’t wait to meet your furry friend!

Halle C.

Administrative Coordinator

Hi, I’m Halle, Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up on a farm with horses, cows, chickens, and was raised alongside two sweet cats and a police-trained Belgian Malinois. Now I have six cats of my own who fill my home with love (and plenty of fur!).

I’m patient, compassionate, and dedicated to giving every pet the same comfort, consistency, and affection I give my own. Whether your pet is high-energy or laid-back, I’ll make sure they feel safe, understood, and cared for like family.

Anthony O.

Co-Founder/ Dog walker

Hi, I’m Anthony, one half of Desert Duo Walkers. Caring for pets has always been a passion of mine, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. Whether it’s taking dogs for energizing walks, or providing in-home pet sitting, my goal is always to make pets feel happy, safe, and loved.

Hi everyone! I’m Taylor, the creative designer behind Desert Duo Walkers. I’m the one who brings our brand to life—designing our shirts, creating our visuals, and making sure everything looks fun, welcoming, and full of personality.

I’ve always loved dogs. They’ve been a part of my life since I was little, and I adore how each one has its own charm, energy, and heart. Being able to use my creativity to help a business centered around dogs is truly a dream for me. Every design I make comes from a place of love for animals.

Booking consultant

Hi, I’m Mia!

I’m the Booking Consultant here at Desert Duo Walkers. My background is in communication, staying organized, and helping people feel understood and supported. I’m the person who makes scheduling easy, answers questions, and ensures your pet is matched with the perfect care.

Animals have always been part of my world — I grew up surrounded by all kinds of pets: dogs, cats, turtles, lizards, snakes, spiders, and fish. So even though I haven’t had a zoo of my own, I’ve always been comfortable with animals of every shape, size, and personality.

I’m excited to be part of this team and to help make your experience seamless from the very first message!
