Dog Walking in Elmwood, Philadelphia

“Emilio was wonderful, we are so thankful for all of his help. He was a great communicator when updates happen. I loved the Rover card updates, and amazing pictures that Emilio took, during each visit. Odie the dachshund was so very happy in all of the pictures and was spoiled by Emilio! Odie, and his siblings the sleepy cat, turtles, tortoises and fish all loved Emilio visiting them!”

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. Ever since I was little my family has owned both large and small dogs. I have also cared for neighbors dogs since the age of 15: caring for them, taking them for walks, etc. I’m currently a law student, so would love to build a constant connection to care for your dog. I am reliable and want to make your life easier. I am in a two bedroom apartment with lots of room to run around and a park a short distance away to take the dog for walks. I am able to feed the dog, give it toys and water, and crate your pet if this is something that you request. In a pet owners home I will follow the directions of the owner meticulously and make sure that the dog feels comfortable.

About: Experienced and compassionate, I am a dedicated animal sitter with a passion for providing exceptional care for pets. What sets me apart from other sitters is my specialized skill set, including training puppies and expertise in senior pet care. I excel in establishing a strong foundation for good behavior through puppy training techniques and providing gentle and attentive care for senior animals, managing medications and addressing mobility issues. With a personalized approach, I tailor care routines to meet the unique needs of each animal, ensuring their well-being and happiness. Additionally, I am skilled in understanding and interpreting animal behavior, enabling effective communication and building trust. With training in pet first aid and CPR, I am prepared to handle emergencies and prioritize the safety of all animals under my care. I still have school, so it honestly just depends on after 4. After 4 I’m free for the rest if the day, and i need something to do with the rest of my time, and given i have not much better to do i’d prefer to take care and watch over animals! When caring for pets, whether in my own home or at a client's residence, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for them. In my home, I provide a designated space where pets can relax and feel at ease. I ensure that this area is clean, secure, and equipped with the necessary essentials such as bedding, toys, and food/water bowls. Additionally, I maintain a regular feeding schedule to meet their dietary needs. Exercise and playtime are also integral parts of my care routine, as I engage pets in stimulating activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences. If caring for pets in a client's home, I ensure to follow any specific instructions provided, replicating their familiar environment as closely as possible. I make it a point to provide ample affection, attention, and companionship to keep pets happy and emotionally fulfilled during my care sessions. Overall, my approach to pet care revolves around providing a nurturing and loving environment that meets the individual needs of each furry friend.

About: I’ve had cats my whole life and recently raised adopted two perfect kittens! I’ve also spent a lot of time dog-sitting a wide variety of dogs! Last summer, I refined my dog-caring abilities by pet-sitting very consistently and gained experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, rescues, dogs with differing energy levels, and have administered medications. I’m happy to give your pets all the love and special care that they need! I’m currently working from home and have very flexible availability! I am open to last-minute requests and can easily work to accommodate changes. Whatever is best for you! I strive to make sure your pets always feel comfortable and that their routine is maintained to ensure they are happy and healthy! I love to learn pet personalities and adjust my care and my approach to pet sitting based on your pets’ specific needs and preferences!

“Taylor was great! I found myself in a situation that required my attention and Taylor was able to care for my pup while I had to leave! She was very communicative, thorough, and an overall great experience!! This was my first time using Taylor and she made it very smooth.”

“Bryce was fantastic with our dogs—he handled three 30-minute walks, sometimes going a bit over without any issue or extra charge. He’s professional, easy to communicate with, and follows instructions closely. We felt completely comfortable leaving him with access to our home, and we’d gladly work with him again. Highly recommended!”

“Bah is super friendly and communicative!”

About: I’ve had pets since childhood, and I’ve been responsible for my own pets for 10 years. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter with dogs and cats of all ages and tempers for 8 years. I’ve been pet sitting and dogwalking since childhood, and I absolutely love it! I appreciate the patience and love it takes to get to know each and every new animal so I can take care of them to the best of my ability. I’m a student with a flexible schedule, so I have lots of pockets of free time to take care of your pets! I can pet sit & board on the weekends and dog walk and do short visits during the week! It is my top priority to follow all instructions provided and ensure that your pet feels safe, comfortable, and taken care of. I have a mid-sized apartment and two pet-loving roommates.

“Just got this stinker for a week. Not everybody can deal with his craziness when he has not been trained yet. I’m afraid of walking him before his trainer come. Alick walks him without a problem.”

About: Life-long dog lover and owner with over 10 years of experience dog-sitting and walking! I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, with most of my own pups in the past being larger pittie-mixes with lots of energy. I also have extensive experience with dogs that have a variety of behavioral issues and special care needs. I started with Rover over seven years ago in Washington DC and continued pet-sitting and walking when I moved to Philly in August 2021. I have lived all over the city in the past four years, doing drop-in visits and walks in Rittenhouse, Washington Square West, Point Breeze, and everywhere in between. I am deeply familiar with South Philly and love to be a safe, reliable dog walker for families in our neighborhood. I am typically available Friday through Monday for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I’m happy to provide longer walks/visits if needed for your pup. The health and safety of your pup is my top priority and I will always follow the daily routine and instructions you have for your pet. I will only take dogs to dog parks if specifically instructed by the owner. The more information you can provide me in advance about daily walks and activities, food schedule, any anxieties or triggers, etc. - the better!

“sent me lots of pictures of my fur baby while on her walk! would book again :))”

About: Growing up, I have always been around animals. In the past I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and even turtles!. I also have experience caring for bigger sized dogs as well. The bigger they are, the more to love I always say! This past year I lost one of my own fur babies. I believe pets are like family. They should be cared for, respected, cherished and loved! I am extremely easy to work with! I have a hybrid work schedule alternating my days each week, which means I am extremely flexible. I am willing and will try my best to work around my schedule to best accommodate your needs. It is important for me to be aware on how you would like for me to care for your pet at home. If there is any daily routines or dietary needs your pet is accustomed to I would love to know. My regular job allows me to be extremely flexible! I am more than willing to work with what best accommodates your needs! I am very easy to work with! Also, I do not mind discussing payment rates- I understand situations occur and I am more than willing to discuss and come to an agreement! I have a spacious apartment that does allow cats (home boarding care). If I were to care for your pet in your home I would respect your home fully! My schedule allows me to work from home, which is a huge benefit. If there is any concerns you may have I am more than willing to meet in person or speak on the phone/text!

About: I worked for Petco for a little more than four years, worked at a dog resort for over a year, and have had my Shihtzu since she was a puppy (now 14), so I am experienced working with many types of dogs. Aside from walking your dog, if needed I am willing to do basic grooming such as baths and brushing (I can also clip nails if need be, but please let me know if your dog has problems with any of that). Other than medical treatments 3 days a week, I am available days and night. The treatments are in the early morning, so it'll be fine. Your pet will stay with me in my room to relax, eat/drink, or have playtime unless we're taking walks or going to the park to play.

About: I’ve taken care of cats for years! From fostering to rescuing to TNR and everything in between! I have 6 cats of my own, I help take care of my sibling’s pets and I also take care of the neighborhood community cats. I’m part of a Philly cat Facebook group and I love to help out whenever I can! I am a Corporate Communications associate with a hybrid work schedule. I work from home 2 days a week and have weekends off. So my schedule is pretty flexible. I have a lot of experience in caring for cats and kittens. I’m also a big clean freak so not only will they get lots of play time and cuddles with me, I will help keep their litter clean and tidy!
