Paws on Park is AMAZING! Elizabeth and her team have walked our goldendoodle for 2 years. They are reliable, trustworthy, friendly and caring. Our dog always returns from his walks happy and exercised. We receive daily updates for each walk and plenty of photos. Elizabeth and her team are also very accommodating with changes in schedule. We would absolutely recommend Paws on Park without hesitation!! Rebecca, Adam and Graham

10/10. Can’t recommend Paws on Park enough. We went through 5 dog walkers before finding Paws on Park and Elizabeth has now been walking our goldendoodle Ben daily for over two years. We honestly haven’t had to worry about him once under her care. Elizabeth has never missed a walk, is always willing to accommodate our changing schedules and sends daily updates and pictures after walking him which is all greatly appreciated. Elizabeth also goes above and beyond and has worked with him on commands, walking on the leash, etc. as well as letting us know when he isn’t acting like his normal self. We also use Paws on Park regularly for overnight stays when we go out of town. Elizabeth and Suzanne are both awesome and have made our lives much easier ! – Drew and Jessica

When my fiance and I first brought our 3-month-old labrador/retriever mix home from the shelter we interviewed a number of different dog walkers in the neighborhood. We ultimately chose Elizabeth from PawsOnPark because she was knowledgeable and truly seemed to care about what was in the best interest of our puppy Boomer. After 3 months of working with Elizabeth, we are so glad we choose PawsOnPark. Elizabeth truly cares for Boomer and goes above and beyond what we pay her for. She’s been extremely helpful in training Boomer as she’s been very willing to incorporate some of the routines we are using to train Boomer into his daily walks. Her Paws Report texts after each walk keep us in the loop and our minds at ease. The constant communication is great, especially when you have a puppy who is trying to work through new routines. In addition to our daily walks, she’s been incredibly flexible about helping us out when we need nighttime help. We truly appreciate all the help she has given to us and highly recommend PawsOnPark to anyone who is looking for a professional and caring dog walker.

Elizabeth is an amazing dog walker! She’s professional, reliable, and extremely knowledgeable about dog fitness and health. My dog Princess is always excited to be walked by her.

I’ve been using PawsOnPark for my 3 Toy Poodles since Sept 2016. Elizabeth has been extremely professional, punctual, caring, and felxible. She walks my dogs daily and the pups are happier because of it. Daily walks to the park have the dogs fit and happy when she shows up. She watches out for them as if they were her own. If she notices something is off with one of them she immediately lets me know. I highly recommend Elizabeth…she has made my life much easier when it comes to caring for my dogs!
