About Our Business
My life has gone to the dogs. After 20 years as a television
reporter and anchor, I turned my passion for pets into a
profession in 2008. You might've seen my stories on NBC,
CBS, or most recently, FOX 9 News. My favorite stories involved
working as an animal advocate on television. Hot Dog Walking
is named after you guessed it Saylor and Simpson, my
dachshunds and beloved sidekicks. I am a lifelong dog owner,
animal lover and friend/caretaker to countless pets over the
years.  I am a Certified Dog Handler with the National
Association of Professional Pet Sitter's.  H.D.W. is locally owned.
