“Always happy to see your pup!”
Hello! I'm Chris, a recent Temple graduate and pro dog-walker. My friends and relatives always call on me to sit their furry companions because I'm friendly, reliable and great with their dogs! I know that each dog and their owners have their own specialized needs, and I'm here to be attentive to those needs. In addition, with my degree in psychology, I can help your animal to maintain healthy behaviors to increase their wellness and happiness. Thanks for your patronage!

Hi, I'm Becky! I have lived in Philadelphia for over 15 years. One of my favorite things to do is to explore this awesome city with a dog by my side. I've had dogs and cats my whole life, and don't think I could have it any other way. My current best friend/roommate is George, a 5 year old pit bull/lab mix. I understand that all dogs need discipline and respect, with lots of love and exercise. I'll make sure to always keep all dogs super safe and happy.

I have been walking dogs for 3 years and have been a dog lover my entire life. I grew up with a Standard Poodle named Collette. As an adult, I lived in a house with a lovely brown anxious Aussie. I helped to care for the dog- feeding her, walking her, giving medications, and keeping an eye on her to make sure she stayed out of mischief. We also regularly took in foster dogs of all shapes and sizes. I love getting outside and moving around, so I look forward to meeting and caring for your dog!

Dog Walking in Newtown Square
A cozy little town nestled in the heart of Pennsylvania, Newtown Square is a peaceful reprieve that manages to be just close enough to Philadelphia to make a doggy day trip perfectly doable. However, all the excitement doesn’t have to be found outside the bounds of Newtown Square proper! With two dog-friendly restaurants to choose from, as well as a beautiful state park to spend the day hiking through, you and your pup certainly won’t be left wanting for activities.
As a matter of fact, Ridley Creek State Park, centered in Newtown Square, is a location you just can’t miss -- a definite spot on your doggy to-do list. Dogs are welcome in designated areas, and although your pup will need to remain leashed, that’s not going to limit your pup’s sense of adventure. Make your way across the numerous trails available to you, and enjoy the sights and smells of the fresh Pennsylvania wildlife. You’ll need to bring clean drinking water for both you and your pup, as well as doggy waste bags to keep this park nice and clean. Maybe even bring some treats, both for you and Fido, and you all can have a regular puppy picnic!
