Walky McWalkerson
Traveling can be a stressful time, especially when you have pets to care for. Who can watch them? Will they be okay? Geoff Conklin understands that pain, as the owner of two large Great Danes that weigh a collective 295 pounds. That’s a lot of dog to care for! Conklin founded Walky McWalkerson to put residents—and their pets—at ease. He caters to pets of all kinds (this includes fish!). For interested clients, the first step is to fill out a form at walkmcwalk.com. Then, there’s a scheduled meet and greet with Conklin to ensure it’s a good match for all parties. The services can range from just one hour while the client is at work to an entire day or even overnight. The minimum time Conklin will spend is one hour, which includes a walk, feeding and some quality play time. He is also happy to do various housesitting chores as well (need the plants watered?).
Conklin wants each pet to receive the best quality attention possible. “I know how important they are, they’re members of your family,” he says. Walky McWalkerson allows pets to stay in their homes, where they are most comfortable, and ensures that owners don’t have to worry about boarding them. What’s more, clients can rest easy knowing that Conklin is canine- and cat-CPR certified. Customize each visit, with prices ranging from $25 to $150, depending on each family’s specific needs.
