“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!

Dog Walking in Norristown

Norristown is a small borough city that sits on the north side of the Schuylkill River, just 20 miles northwest of Philadelphia.

The state park is dog-friendly, and brings in plenty of people and pups to the area thanks to activities like hiking, jogging, biking, picnicking, wildlife viewing, fishing, and fetch! Dogs must remain on a leash, but can enjoy the 7+ mile trail system or relax in the shaded sitting areas, with access to water fountains, clean-up stations, and trash bins.
