Do any of you use a dog walker? I"m going back to work next week, and we need someone to come in during lunch ish time to let her out/make sure she goes potty, etc. If you use a dog walker, please rec. them as I want someone nice

    I use PhillyPets.com. I have worked with them for about 4 years now. I don't know if they go out as far as where you live or not. They have a lot of walkers because they serve so many customers. All the walkers for Rookie have been great.

    I would make sure whoever you use bonds their employees as you are allowing someone into your home when you aren't their. I don't know of any companies for the burbs but I am sure they have them

    I mistyped the web address.....philapets.com (not phillypets.com). My friend lives in Conshy and is really happy with her service. I'll be glad to ask who she uses. I don't know where you live, but if you're close to there it may be worth checking out. Let me know!

    Call the local petsmart and see if they have any recommendations... Also, call your vet and see who they recommend. Buttons - when we move, we might switch to your vet.

    I asked over at my vet, they are looking into it. I don't know of a pet smart, but I'll look into petco.My vet was a recommendation by the lady that lives across the street (she's our adopted grandma and TOTALLY AWESOME). she said they have everything there. If your dog/cat is ever sick, they have doctors there for everything.They are all really just fantastic and I love them so much! They obsess over every animal, and they really get such great care. I was blown away the first time i went.

    I've used Fetch pet care before, and they were great. I know that they're a national company with people that work for them all over, so you may be able to find someone near you. Good luck!

    My parents just went there with their new little kitten and really liked them - is it the one near best buy? I like my vet but the drive will be too far for the boys in the future.

    I know of two who are excellent, but geography might again be an issue as you're so far from me. Noah's Bark is on the Main Line (Amy D. knows and LOOOOVES Mac), and Valerie from Waggle De Tails took care of Mac last Friday while we were busying tying the knot and getting down with our bad selves.

    Thanks heather, however yes, a bit too far :-(Sam, yeah I find the prices to be in line with what I was paying before, which I didn't think was too much at all.
