Julie has been our dog sitter and/or dog walker since 2002. We started out using Julie’s services to sit our two pugs in our home and walk them, and we’ve never looked back! Luckily (and embarrassingly!) for us, Julie would leave our house cleaner than when she got there, which was NOT part of the deal, but nonetheless shows how considerate and professional she is. Our pugs missed her from the moment she left. Over time, the pugs passed on and we welcomed our lab/border x, Peakabo, into our home and Julie became her absolute favourite dog walker! Professional, enormously kind hearted, intelligent, and dedicated, are just a few words we would use to describe Julie and her work ethic, and we’re not even touching on her vast knowledge of dog handling. If you want someone who will love your dog(s) as much as you do, we recommend you hire Julie for all your dog walking needs! Jude Allen and Pete Errington (clients since 2002) |

We have been using A Walk In the Park for over 5 years to walk our big, goofy dog, Bowe. I have known Julie personally for over 20 years and she is full of integrity, honesty and caring, and puts all of the animals' needs and safety first. We appreciate this so much as we love our dog so much! We would proudly recommend Julie and A Walk In The Park to anyone who is looking for excellent, attentive and responsible care for their dog.

Julie has been caring for our Golden Retriever for seven years (since he was 12 weeks old). She has had him on regular weekly walks and overnight for extended periods of time. Julie is part of our dog’s family and has proven to be extremely responsible and caring. His eyes light up when he sees her pull up in front of the house. Julie is well versed in the handling and management of dogs and their different personalities. Thanks for everything Julie – we could not have had him without you!

Julie has been a part of our lives for over 2 years now. She’s a member of our family! Her walks with our dog Guinness are like “kids’ day at Science World” – fun but with structure and learning. They are the highlight of Guinness’ week and a recess for us too. Being an owner-operated business means peace of mind. Julie knows and cares about her clients and they return their love for her in spades. Three cheers for “Fun Girl”! Jennifer and Joanne (clients since 2009) |

Julie has been caring for Buddy since 2006 and I don't know what we'd do without her. She carries out her business with the highest degree of professionalism – always delivering the care and service she promises. She is caring, knowledgable, reliable and deeply trustworthy. Her sensitivity and compassion towards animals knows no equal and I always feel confident knowing that my pet – my dear friend - is in good hands. Over the years, Julie has gone far and beyond what is expected and because of that she has become a dear and trusted friend to me and Buddy. I feel truly grateful to know her and have her care for my pet.

We have had the pleasure of being with A Walk in the Park since September 2005! I honestly think Abbey prefers being on their walks and staying in Julie and Colin's house more than being in her own home! The excitement to see Julie and all her walking pals is really heart warming. Abbey is so important to our family - it is comforting to know she is in such good hands - Julie has a wonderful way with all the dogs and is very professional. We feel really blessed to have her.

Julie and her pack have been caring for our family for 12 years , maybe more, we are no longer sure. Our first dog, a chocolate lab named Sadie, had a condition called Megaesophagus which meant she had to be fed sitting up, and sometimes by hand, so that the food would go down. Sadie would bring up her food regularly and often in Julie's truck. It would be a huge mess. Julie walked and housesat our wonderful, lively Sadie for 5 years. Twelve years ago we got Radar, a black lab pup, to keep Sadie occupied. Now we had two dogs in Julie's care. When Sadie passed away we found a very tiny golden lab called Birdie. She was so small that, at first, Julie carried her in a back pack when walking her crew. When the pack was full Colin, Julie's husband, took Birdie to work with him. We know Julie and her pack of dogs have taught our dogs necessary manners, they are healthy animals that behave well in all social situations--thanks to Julie. Julie and Colin have house sat for us many times and we have always returned to a house that looked a whole lot nicer than we left it. I'm afraid this testimonial will be turning into a book, so I'll just say that our whole family, 2 sons, 3 dogs, Jim and I, know how lucky we are to have found "A Walk in The Park". Very Sincerely Rojeanne and Jim Allworth (clients since 2000) |
