Our 15 year old dog has literally grown up with WIP. From exuberant puppy to stately middle age to (now) a senior with vision and hearing problems, Sparky has always been provided with the perfect walker by A Walk in the Park. I attribute a lot of his excellent socialization to this. And from my point of view, I appreciate WIP's ability to cope with complex and sometime shifting scheduling, and changes in the dog's diet and capabilities. I recommend A Walk in The Park whole-heartedly.

I can't thank Amy enough for matching Laura with us. Our dog Roxy took to her immediately (a total surprise!) and waits patiently at the top of the stairs when it's getting close to her walk time. Happy New Year to everyone at A Walk In The Park.

Greg walked my Corgi and gave him his dinner. My Corgi is shy but Greg apparently charmed him into the walk ... All went well. Definite;y will be using A Walk in the Park again. Amy (co-owner) is very responsible, personable and communicates effectively.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our dog walking and pet sitting visits are scheduled for 15 minutes or 30 minutes, as many times a day as you would like. If 30 minutes is not enough, we can accommodate whatever time period works best for you and your pet. We charge a standard per-visit rate for occasional services.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first step when a new customer joins the AWITP family is to schedule an in-home meeting. It's a wonderful opportunity to get to know each other, go through the daily routine, review policies, etc. Every piece of information is documented to ensure that our staff knows precisely how to care for your pet and meet your expectations.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Every employee goes through an on-the-job training exercise that ensures your pets are in capable, responsible, reliable hands.
