“Kristina was prompt, and Little Ron adored walking with her. A+++ communication. I forgot to tell her he's getting resistant about walking at night (eyesight?) and she picked that up immediately and texted to find out what to do, which was great. 10/10 would hire again!”
“Alex is the best! I hurt my knee and needed someone to walk my large pittie last minute. Alex was nice enough to work him into his schedule even though we have not worked with him before. My dog Alfie tends to pull in a leash and while he loves people, he can sometimes be picky about who walks him. However, he LOVES Alex and Alex does a great job of controlling Alfie on a leash. Thank you so much for your help!”

“Hired Emily to walk my dog for the week and she was great. She was very communicative and timely. My dog can be very overwhelming with how excited she gets but Emily handled her with no issues.

About: I have taken care of my cats and dog since they were little. I have had to pill them, feed and bathe them. I know my cats love it, as the most recent one we adopted was a bit older and was an outdoor/indoor cat. She now has no interest outside (she has it too good). As for my dog, she knows and listens to all the basic commands and does some other fun tricks that I have taught her. She is also an agility dog who is very well behaved. I work 8am to 5pm but in the evening you will find me and our pup out in the yard throwing ball, at a park or working on tricks. On the weekends we always spend time at one park or another/are out in the yard. My husband and I both are big believers that dogs need both mental and physical stimulation. For walks and drop ins please keep in mind I work a full time job 8am to 5pm. I can absolutely accommodate you before 8am and after 5pm. If you live in the Hatboro area I might even be able to stop by for a potty break on my lunch hour. Unfortunately if you are looking for someone to take your lovely doggo to the park say at 2pm in the afternoon on a weekday. I would not be the sitter for you. I would however be 100% devoted to your animal before or after work and completely on weekends. I will also be 100% honest about this upfront when contacted as we all want the best for your fur babies. I have build my schedule on here to ensure that I am home with your pup to be able to give them the attention they deserve. I will make sure that they are having a good time. I do have a small yard that is fenced in on three sides. However if this is an issue, I also have a 50foot lead I can put them on so they can still run and have fun. I also have no problem taking them to a dog park or for a nice like hike. I do have a small dog that is very friendly for them to play with as well.
About: About Me Having grown up with dogs for most of my life, I understand that a pet is a family member who deserves undivided attention and care. In my professional life, I am a Special Education Teacher, a role that has gifted me with immense patience, a calm demeanor, and the ability to follow strict routines to the letter.

The Benefit of Undivided Attention Since my home is currently pet-free, your dog or cat receives my 100% devotion without any distractions. I have extensive experience with multi-pet households, managing everything from high-energy play sessions for large dogs to the specific, quieter needs of independent cats. Whether it’s maintaining a strict feeding schedule or providing extra cuddles, I treat every pet with the same love and respect I gave my own for years.

“Ally was absolutely wonderful! She recognized that our puppy was a tad nervous on her first stroll with a new-to-her person, so she allowed her time to do her thing and get comfortable, which paid dividends, as she eventually warmed up and I’m sure will look forward to her next jaunt with Ally.”

I had a great experience from start! The introduction process was smooth, and she took the time to get to know my dog and make him feel comfortable. Communication was excellent, she was reliable, and I felt confident knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again!
Brenda, was fantastic with Cooper. She stayed and played with him for about 30 minutes after he was walked. I highly recommend Brenda for anyone who wants that extra special care for their pet whenever they can’t be present. Thx Brenda! I’ll definitely ask you for help anytime I can’t be home for Cooper!😊

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
