Dog Walking in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, PA

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I have experience with high-energy breeds, senior dogs needing gentle care, and even pups with anxiety. I always tailor my approach to each pet’s personality and needs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. My calm, intuitive nature helps me build trust quickly with animals, even shy or reactive ones. I’ve volunteered at shelters and have experience with puppy training basics, senior care, administering medications, and leash reactivity. I approach each pet with patience and respect, and I take pride in providing care that feels like home. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and for drop-in visits or walks on weekdays after 3 PM. My flexible schedule allows me to give your pet the attention and companionship they deserve while you're away. Whether I’m in your home or mine, safety and comfort come first. I keep environments clean, secure, and pet-friendly, free from hazards. I follow feeding routines, exercise guidelines, and any medical or behavioral instructions to the letter. I also give regular updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you're away.

About: I love to pet sit for my friends and family. I treat the dogs like my own and keep them company until the owner is ready to pick the dog up. I am home 24/7! Free to walk your dog whenever the dog needs a walk or is bored in the apartment! I am flexible with pickup time / drop off as I do know that life happens, and I’m here and happy to help! I live in a quiet neighborhood, townhome with a big shared back space. Spacious living room for dogs to move around in the house. Easy to park

“Ryan was extremely professional and a great communicator. I have a very sensitive/anxious dog, but I felt at ease knowing she was getting great long walks with a calm confidant walker. I will definitely hire Ryan again next time I leave town! Thanks again!”

About: I've had many different types of animals as pets my whole life. One of my first jobs was working at a doggie day care and kennel. I worked with a broad range of dogs. I got to work with their trainer and groomer. I bathed the dogs often to prepare them for the groomer. I cared for the dogs in the kennel and worked the day shifts at the day care. Then I moved to South Korea and worked at a cat shelter there for about a year. I cared for the cats there as well as worked with potential adopters. We had many types of cats. I fostered some of the elderly and special needs cats. I gave the cats their medication and worked with the more aggressive cats to get them socialized. I also have experience with bottle baby kittens. I fostered two separate litters. I am comfortable with all types of cats, from kittens to elderly cats. I have a turtle and grew up with a pet newt and guinea pigs, so I don't discriminate when it comes to pet care. I love many different types of animals. I work part time and have a flexible schedule. I can come to your home for pet or house sitting and stay overnights if needed. I'm detail oriented and thorough. I will treat your pet as if they are my own and offer the best care. I keep open communication and am available to discuss safety concerns or special needs for your pets.

“Nikki was fantastic with our enthusiastic dog from the very beginning! She is very calming and responsible with him and communicative with us. We look forward to more walks with her!”

“Aurea, is amazing!! We needed someone to walk Chica every afternoon at 2:30. Aurea, is the most punctual person I’ve ever met. Because every day at 2:30 she was letting herself into our house to walk Chica. After every walk she would take a great picture of Chica and send it to us. A few times I was even home and I could see how excited Chica was to spend the half hour with Aurea. Aurea has great communication and always quickly responded to my texts. I only needed Aurea’s services for one month because Chica is now living her furry best life with my daughter in Colorado. But for that month Aurea was a lifesaver. I highly recommend her with absolutely no reservations.”

About: I’ve cared for pets all age ranges from Neo Natal Kittens and Puppies as well as Elderly animals with health conditions, I’ve trained all types of dogs such as Huskies as well as Pits and taken care of Bunnies, Parrots and Aquatic Animals Axolatls & Turtles 🐢! I have fostered and baby sat animals since I was technically 15 years old and then began doing it seriously as an adult when I was 18. I am open availability until after Halloween I will be on campus twice a week which will be updated in my profile, how does pet care fit into my daily routine at this time?? When I have clients I try to organize my drop ins in an approach that every pet has my undivided attention and all of their needs met 100% and feel happy and safe when I leave! I do not have pets in my home due to my apartment not allowing pets unfortunately, but I have fostered, I have been a pet sitter since I was technically 15 years old and continued in my adulthood to support college!

“Danielle was communicative and really great with our dog Rogue! She asked questions when needed and Rogue was nice and tired after their walks.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine care and attention I bring to every pet I look after. I don’t just “watch” pets. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their people are away. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable with all ages, from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime to senior pets who require gentler care and a watchful eye. I pride myself on noticing the little things such as changes in behavior, eating habits, or comfort so you can trust that your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to help you out! Just let me know when assistance is needed and I can more than likely be there. I have a small fenced in yard, and I live in a house with no roommates. We don’t have any animals living with us. In my home, I make sure pets have a comfortable and safe space to relax, with plenty of attention and outdoor breaks (for dogs). I keep routines consistent with what they’re used to so they feel at ease and cared for.

About: Hi there! I’m Jay/Jada, a lifelong animal lover based in Philadelphia. I have over two years of hands‑on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes — from playful puppies to seniors needing extra care. I’m patient, responsible, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I offer walks, drop‑ins, overnight stays, and will happily give meds if needed. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, a cozy overnight stay, or just a friendly check‑in while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. I’m flexible with scheduling and always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and the comfort of your pet. I live in Philly and know the best local parks for walks and playtime. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! 🐾 Although I work full-time from 8:30–5, I’m off on Fridays and weekends, which gives me plenty of time to focus on pets. During workdays, I make sure pets are cared for through planned visits, walks, feeding, and lots of attention to keep them happy and comfortable. I provide a safe and loving environment for pets in my care. While I work 8:30–5, I make sure pets are cared for before and after work.

“Brittany was really awesome with my two pups while I was out of the country! She did twice daily walks (since my partner was still home with them in the evenings) and was in great communication with me as well as with my partner the whole time. Thank you Brittany!”

“Colette was an amazing dog walker, my dogs absolutely loved her and we will definitely miss her. She was communicative, prompt, and so sweet with our girls. They got to know her car and would get so excited when they saw it coming down our street!”

“Amanda was great! Walked my little chihuahua whippet mix dog 2X’s daily for 5 days. She was on time and walked him for full 30 minutes. She sent pictures of their walk showing his walk throughout the neighborhood. She jogged with him for a portion of each walk to give him a good workout. My dog was so happy to see her each time she arrived. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have taken care of multiple dogs of varying breeds my whole life. From French poodles to Shiba Inus. I currently have a two year old Shiba Inu and because of that I understand the importance of one on one care to make sure they are comfortable in a new environment. My current job is hybrid but I have the ability to adjust my schedule as needed so it fits your needs as well as the needs of your pet. I can tailor their care based on your dog's needs. If staying with me then they will have access to an array of toys for and a play mate for all of their stay. I only take one dog at a time to ensure you pet is well taken care of during their stay and I will update you as often as needed with a summary of their day and photos/videos.
