Dog Walking Cobbs Creek

About: Starting local to Philadelphia. I have been taking care of other people's strays and rescuing feral and street animals for several years. I can manage several animals simultaneously and accommodate all of their psychological and physical needs. I have provided care for Chinchillas, Ferrets, Rabbits, cats, and dogs. Dog walking was something I did for two years for my neighbors. I am currently a cat sitter, and provide drop-in visits. In the morning I will check on the needs of any animals ie food and water. I will play and walk with them for about an hour. I will have dogs with similar temperaments play with one another. After playing and walking I will make sure they eat and rest. Throughout the day I will provide activities and enrichment for the pets. At the end of the day i will walk dogs for another hour. I care for pets in my home based on their individualized needs. Certain cats are independent and would prefer not to be touched. I will foster a positive relationship with the pet slowly, and individualize their affection based on their personalities and needs.

“Five stars, without hesitation. Shashank has been a wonderful find for our family. He walks our dog Leon regularly, and Leon gets genuinely excited every time he sees him, which tells you everything you need to know. What really cemented our trust happened when I was unexpectedly told during a routine appointment that I needed to deliver my baby the same day. With no time to make arrangements, Shashank stepped up immediately, checking on Leon, feeding, exercising him, and taking him in to board as soon as he could with little notice. That kind of reliability in an emergency is rare. What sets Shashank apart is his genuine knowledge of canine behavior. Leon was understandably stressed by all the changes, and Shashank recognized it, communicated clearly with us, and worked patiently with him until he was in a much better place. Leon came home from boarding with Shashank calm and fulfilled. We plan on continuing to work with Shashank as Leon adjusts to life with a new baby, so the transition continues to go smoothly. Communicative, reliable, kind, and deeply knowledgeable about dogs. If you're looking for someone who will truly care for your beloved pet, Shashank is your person.”

“Richard is great with my dog Nugget (corgi). He always shows up on time. Nugget loves him and she gets so excited for her walks. He’s very mindful of her older age and making sure she is going slower, stopping she needed, etc. Nugget loves her walks and we are so grateful Richard is able to help us out with her care!”

“This was our pups first time being walked by a stranger lol and he was so scared but somehow Tamika got him to go. She did really well managing him.”

About: I grew up with dogs, so I have plenty of exposure to their care and needs. When my sister leaves for work trips, I have been the primary caretaker for her dog. I have experience feeding, cleaning, walking, and administering medications. Currently, I have two cats that I rescued from the street. Also, for the past few years, I have been caring for a feral cat colony. I am a university student, so I have the most flexibility before 11 AM and after 5 PM on the weekdays. This does vary by days, as on Monday and Wednesday, I am also free between 12PM-3PM. I am free all-day Saturday and Sunday for most weekends. I live in a dorm, so I am unable to care for your furry family outside of your home. As for caring for them at your home, I will follow all given guidelines to ensure proper care (i.e. the care YOU want).

“Nicole is the absolute best. I trust her completely with my anxious pup, who is obsessed with her. She’s very reliable and quick with replies, and understanding about my dog Sasha and her quirks. Wish I could give her 10000 stars.”

“Thank you so much!”

About: Having grown up with dogs and cats (...and a couple birds and a hedgehog), and working in pet care/pet sitting on and off for about 12 years I've seen and known a lot of weird, wonderful, sweet, and silly pets. I think my attention to detail sets me apart. I want to know what keeps your fur babies calm & happy. I want to know what stresses them out so we can steer clear: whether it's the sound of skateboards or rolling suitcases, fellow wildlife, or even people. I'm ready to redirect your nearly perfect pet away from their favorite forbidden roadside snack. I also have experience administering medications. I look forward to working with you! I currently do pet care and pet sitting part time and some other gig work (varies from week to week) while I look for other full-time work. I aim to mimic your pets lifestyle when they're in my care to make things as comfortable as possible for them. We're gonna cuddle, we're gonna play!

“Great and responsible!”

“We are so blessed to have Christopher! He’s the best! My pup, Latte, is always so happy to see him. Christopher is always communicative, responsive, and responsible. He always follows up to make sure everything is okay with your pup before and after his visits. You can truly feel that Chris cares about your baby as much as you do. Thank you, Chris! ❤️”

“Indigo took such great care of my animals while I was away! I got lots of photos and videos of Indigo's walks with my little old lady pup and play time with my cats. They were all in great moods when I got home. I would 100% love to have Indigo's care again in the future.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and with a variety of needs. Volunteer with humane rescue alliance in DC since 2024 (can provide verification upon request) and certified to work with “blue” dogs. I regularly interact and sit for my brother and friends’ cats! Lots of references available! I’m a grad student at Penn with a flexible schedule during the day! I will be proactive, communicative, and honest with you about my schedule. I will take care of your pet as if they are my own. You can expect lots of cute photos and check ins (if desired), and a happy & healthy dog or cat when you reunite. :)

“Leanna is the best! She always takes care of my dog, Cody, on their weekly walks. She makes sure to give him water after each walk and gives him cuddles. I highly recommend her!!”

About: I’ve had cats my whole life but I love dogs just as much! I have years of pet care experience and I have volunteered at an animal rescue for several years. I’m currently a remote worker and student so my schedule is very flexible. I have a car and I am Willing to drive to you. I have experience with all sorts of animal needs. My resume includes a cat with diabetes, two elderly pugs with a variety of health issues, a grumpy rabbit, and many more. I have no problems caring for high need pets or low need pets!

“Webb was trustworthy and accommodating with my last minute request! Webb also took lots of pictures and responded well to the somewhat complicated details/instructions I gave for accessing my house. It was great!”

About: I grew up with cats, dogs and lizards since i was born and i love animals of all kinds. I’ve been a trusted, patient pet sitter for animals of all ages for 14 years and counting! I have experience with shy animals as well as some who take medication. I have lots of availability on weekends. On week days i have availability mornings, evenings, and some friday afternoons. Feel free to reach out about any scheduling questions. I would love to schedule a meet and greet to learn about any expectations so i can best respect your space while caring for your pet.

About: I have been around animals for most of my life and I cant imagine not being around them. From tiny lap dogs to gentle giants, shy kitty cats to energetic pups. I love getting to know them all and learning their individual personalities. Im ready for all day cuddles, laser pointer marathons, and fun adventures. I treat every furry friend like they're my own, making sure they are safe, loved, and spoiled while in my care. My goal is simple. Lots of tail wags and purrs for them and peace of mind for you. I work full time during the week (regular 8-4:30) but my job is a 5 minute drive away if I need to get home quickly for an emergency or mid day walk. Besides work, i am mostly a homebody in my free time. I dont currently have any pets of my own living with me so your fur baby will have all my undivided attention. I live in an apartment building where many tenants have pets. The building has a fenced in dog park that I am sure any furry little pup would love. My area is also very lovely to walk around for potty breaks.
