“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.

Special needs dog care
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!

“I love dogs!”
Hi! I’m Autumn. I have absolutely loved animals ever since I was a child. I’ve grown up around cats and dogs. For the past 18 years I have been pet sitting for family and friends. I Adopted my Australian cattle dog mix 2 years ago & she is the light of my life!! She’s very high energy so I am used to running with her every single day! Dogs put a smile on my face and I would love nothing more than to return the favor by getting them out of the house for a nice walk and keeping them company!

Hey there, I'm Carissa! I've got two lovely dogs of my own who recently took the long journey with me to start a new life in the area. One dog is from California, the other is from Washington, and we spent many years living in Oregon. With that being said, I believe my animal experience is taken with much comfort, respect, and love. Change is a challenge, but I have what it takes to cater to needs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages and absolutely love meeting new ones. I am a very active person who hikes, does yoga, and meditates daily. I will make sure your pup is taking care of and the experience is as positive as possible!
