Dog Walking in Academy Gardens, Philadelphia, PA

“Julie is great with Buddy! She has sat with him, given him his meds, walked and played with him. She makes sure I get photos and videos to check in. It’s nice to know there is someone reliable and caring to help with my big, goofy, neurotic dog.”

“Brian is great with our 2 beagles, although Callie is still warming up to him, it’s nice to see how he gets her to trust him more and more each visit. He’s patient and waits for her to come to him and he is always pleasant and talks and treats the dogs gently.”

About: I'm currently training for a marathon so I love running in the park frequently. If your dog is super energetic, I would love to run with him/her to tire them out so that they will be calmer at home. Back when I had my dog Archie, I would run with him everyday so that he would sleep well at night. I've also had experience with training puppies such as potty training and simple commands. I'm patient when it comes to training. I'm currently a WFH software engineer so I have plenty of time to make sure your dog gets all the attention he/she needs! I am currently a WFH software engineer so I can take care of your dog basically anytime provided a day or two notice in advance. I have a big backyard which would allow your dog plenty of space to run around. I also do have a couple of younger cousins who love dogs too and they are willing to also help make sure your dog gets all the attention that he/she needs.

About: I have two puppies of my own, that I love and adore. I have 3 years experience in healthcare, and love to take care of people and animals :) I am working part time at a hospital.

Reach out to me and we can make something work :) I have two dogs so I can not offer my own house, but am available to come and stay at your house/ stop by for however long you need me to.

“After a meet and greet and 2 walks, we know Emily is a great fit. We love that she treats our pup like she's her own. Emily is more than able to handle our squirrel- and rabbit-obsessed baby. Our fur baby is part Pitbull, part Boston Terrier, and part Boxer and from the beginning, Emily had a great rapport and there was a mutual respect between her and our dog.”

About: I treat every pet as if it were my own. I’ve owed three dogs in the past years , two of which were rescues. I worked at a greyhound shelter in the past.

My goal is to provide love and company for your pet when you can’t be with them. Whenever I go to someone’s house with pets, they instantly become my best friend!

“I am so relieved to have found someone who was able to connect with my 20 month old 110 lb white Shepard. Kimba has a traumatic history and I have worked really hard to rehab him mentally since adopting him a few months ago. He immediately took to Anthony and put his fear-based aggression aside. Anthony constantly sent me updates with photos and followed all my requests to keep Kimba on his daily routine. I highly recommend Anthony to care for your dog.”

I can adjust my availability to fit the specific needs of your pet, whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight care. This flexibility means I can provide consistent attention to your pet, ensuring they get the exercise, companionship, and care they need without any scheduling conflicts. My routine is centered around giving pets the time and focus they deserve, allowing you to have peace of mind while you're away.

About: Hi! I'm Melissa! A little bit about me. Growing up, our family always had dogs and cats. Since the moment I was born, I was raised alongside dogs and cats and at one point in my childhood we had three large breed dogs and 2 cats at once, so fun and crazy! This always nurtured my deep appreciation for animals from an early age. One of our family dogs even had three litters of puppies during my teenage years, giving me hands on experience caring for dogs and puppies of all ages and sizes. Today, I have my own dog in my own family home, a 76 pound English Coonhound rescue from Arkansas. Despite his high energy levels, strength and tendency to pull on the leash, I handle him confidently and independently. I adopted him through Philly Rescue Angels Inc., where I am also an approved foster. Family and friends have relied on me for years from a young age to let out, walk, feed, and play with their dogs whether it be when they need help on short notice or go on an extended vacation. In addition to my experience with dogs, I’ve had cats throughout my life and have fostered them as well. One of my cats even needed daily insulin injections for diabetes and I always handled that myself. My background has given me a well rounded understanding of animal care, and I take pride in my ability to provide attentive, compassionate, and responsible care for all of your pets! Since I am a nurse, I also understand most medical conditions and medication administration and precautions for pets as well, they're more similar to us than we realize! I am a registered nurse whom only works 3 days per week. I am quite flexible in my schedule and can move around my days easily if requested! I have a fenced in yard. I have a friendly dog to play with your pup! And an extra large crate if you need your pet crated at all. Pets are allowed on furniture in my house as well!

About: I have taken care of animals my entire life, primarily cats but dogs and fish as well. Most other animals I put extensive research into the care of when considering owning them, and I would be more than happy to use that knowledge to give your animals the best care possible. I am currently working on continuing my education, so having a way to cover my bills that allows me a flexible schedule doing something I love seemed the perfect fit. Raising my own cat, Tabitha, from a kitten to be a very social, outgoing, sweet girl who loves going for harness walks has left me with a healthy appreciation of how well it works if you treat an animal with respect and expect the same. That being said, house rules come first, and I will make sure to enforce them in your absence.

“Jennifer was very accommodating. She sent pictures and updated me before and after Samson's walk. She even squeezed me in for a last minute walk while my trip was delayed. We will definitely be using Jennifer again”
