Dog Walker Recommendations

Forgive me if I'm rehashing old ground; I ran a quick search but didn't see any super-recent posts...

I'm looking for a dog walker for one half-hour walk every weekday afternoon. Can others share their experiences with particular services or people? (Negative and positive!) If so, definitely include rates, as well as whether it's pack/solo walking...

I would probably prefer that they be licensed/insured, and I'm a little nervous about going with a free agent (vs. a service). Am I just a nervous parent about these things, for no reason?

Thanks!

While I do not have a dog I do know that many people love Housebroken's service and all her information is here http://brooklynian.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=33416

I can say that I do know Vivian personally and she is a wonderful caring, animal lover. If she cannot help you she may be able to provide you with some names. Good luck

PM me if you are still looking for a dog walker. I love my walker and think she may be a better parent than I am... she is choosey about the dogs she walks though..

I use Melissa (www.awalkaroundthecorner.com) and she is very reliable and friendly. I have not had any problems.

Anthony ([email hidden]) walks our dog. Anthony is very conscientious and reliable. We're happy with him -- especially our dog.
