Dog Walking Fairmount-Spring Garden

About: Growing up with four dogs, I absolutely love spending time with animals of all ages and sizes! I can’t wait to get to know your furry friend. I’m currently applying for graduate school so I have a very flexible schedule! I can walk your dog, feed, or just hangout with short notice. I am very attentive and will make the safety of your pet my absolute top priority. I can accommodate to any needs your pet might have and will be respectful of your home!

“I’m glad that I found Sabin! Rocco is high energy dog and requires lot of exercise. Sabin is just perfect for Rocco, he knows how to handle Rocco and takes him for long walks. At end of the day all I know my fur-baby is happy being around Sabin and he gets to funtime🐶 If you have large breed and bully dog, just call Sabin!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for 15 years, including my own, neighbors, and friends. I am experienced in dog walking, overnight and day time pet sitting, etc. I live walking distance to Rittenhouse Square and the Schuylkill River trail/dog park. “Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong.” I have a flexible work schedule and can be available as needed. I am available to dog walk during the day or care for your pet as needed! I am happy to follow the lead of the owners preferences when it comes to giving treats, stimulating activities, frequency of walks, amount of playtime, etc.

About: I’ve spent my life around big dogs I’ve owned both a Golden Retriever and a German Shepherd, so I’m definitely used to the 'velcro dog' energy and the constant shedding! I love their personalities and know exactly how much exercise and mental stimulation they need to stay happy. Whether it's a long walk or just some quality couch time, I’ll make sure your pups feel right at home with me. I’m currently a student at CCP, so my weekdays are pretty flexible around my class schedule. I do have another job on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, but from Monday through Thursday, I have plenty of time to dedicated to walking and hanging out with your pets. I’m great at managing my time between school and work, so your pup will always be my main focus during our scheduled time. I’m big on safety because I know how quickly things can happen. Having owned a German Shepherd and a Golden, I’m very used to handling strong dogs and staying alert on walks. I always double check that leashes are secure and that gates are locked tight before letting a dog out. I’ll treat your pup with the same care I gave my own and make sure your home stays totally secure while I’m there.

About: I’ve been able to care for dogs (both young and old) for extended periods of time and have always been able to ensure their safety and comfort This is my full-time job for now, so I am happy to tailor my schedule to the needs of you and your adorable dogs :) I’m very flexible when it comes to a dog’s needs.

About: I grew up with multiple dogs and so have had experience since youth walking, feeding, and caring for them. In my adult life I have co-owned one dog for around 6 years and worked to house-train him and correct some behavior issues via positive reinforcement. I have also owned multiple cats over the past 16 years including raising one from kittenhood to adulthood. For the past 2.5 years I have been volunteering regularly with the in-house dogs at the PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) Gray's Ferry clinic. My responsibilities include giving the dogs ample enrichment time outside by playing with them and positively reinforcing good behaviors, as well as feeding and cleaning up after them. I have worked there with all different dog sizes and age ranges, including puppies and seniors. I am available for check-ins mornings, mid afternoon, and evenings as well as overnight care as needed. I am not currently available for boarding dogs at my home. I do not accept sitting requests for unspayed/unneutered dogs. I currently do not own any dogs but I do own one high-anxiety cat whose behavior is being managed well with daily medications mixed in with his food. I'm very patient with both cats and dogs and am always ready to give them plenty of space to approach me and begin to feel comfortable with me in their own time. I am comfortable caring for dogs via feeding, walks, playtime, and medicating as needed. For cats I can provide feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime or just hanging out, and medicating as necessary. I have experience pilling cats if the cat's personality allows for this.

“Basil can back happy and tired! Reno was promptly and my dog immediately went up to say hi. He made sure to walk Basil as far as he could so she could get her steps in! Definitely recommend”

“Paulina is the first dog walker that my anxious doggie would leave the house with without my encouragement! We weren’t sure that this could happen and we are very grateful. Thank you so much for your patience and persistence Paulina!”

About: I have cared for pets for a majority of my life, both for my own and for others. I love animals and have an extensive knowledge on the proper training and care for them. I have done everything from the typical sitting, to bottle feeding, and even animal diapers. I am more than happy to cater to the specific needs of the animal I am taking care of, and always make sure to carefully follow any defined instructions provided by the owner. My house has a gated deck as well as a fenced in back yard for added security. I have a car for any needed transportation or for the event of an emergency. I work full time in center city and live in Manayunk. looking to earn some extra cash on the side.

“Liz was great! She’s was easy to communicate with and did a wonderful job walking my dog while I was at work! He loved her! I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Jasmin is an outstanding caregiver for your pet, and a highly responsible service provider. Her communication and responses are very timely, and very thorough. She is clearly committed to ensuring the timing and logistics of handling your and your pet's needs are fully vetted. Our dog has taken to her like a long lost friend.”
