Amy and her 'A Walk In Park' crew have watched over my menagerie of animals for the past four years or so. From my small backyard flock of chickens to my dalmatian who was on medication, two cats and a fish or two. With the upmost of professionalism and great communication, I never worry while we are away to leave them all in the hands of this great group. I can totally recommend A Walk In the Park. And if you have questions, just call, they are happy to speak with you.

I have had only positive experiences with AWITP for cat sitting. The sitters send a report with photos and follow all instructions. The prices are reasonable and basically in line with other prices I've seen (and past sitters I've had). I have no reservations recommending them for your pet! They are wonderful.

We've been longtime customers of a walk in the park! They have helped us with many pets--dogs and cats. Lovely to work with, always pleasant, always helpful. Highly recommend! They are very skilled with animals--helping our puppy learn how to go on walks which was a true challenge! We've used daily dog walking services and overnight care--all very successfully! Your pets will be in good hands!

Four + paws review! My dog, Edison, and I love AWITP! Noelle (I hope it's spelled properly) is the kindest person we have met in the D.C. area. Edison adores Noelle and he is a difficult pooch to please. I highly recommend AWITP.
