Dog Walking Fairmount-Spring Garden

“Kelsey was so great! She left a detailed description of her time walking Henley and was very responsive! Henley was very well cared for during his walk with her.”

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for the past 4 years, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine! I’m comfortable caring for pets of all different personalities and enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I also work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some playtime, or your cat just wants some extra cuddles, I’m happy to give them the care and attention they deserve. 🐾 Since I work from home, my routine is naturally flexible and pet-friendly! I’m home for most of the day, which means your pet gets plenty of companionship, attention, and care rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I like to start my day with some fresh air and a walk, and I’m happy to build in additional walks, playtime, potty breaks, or cuddle time throughout the day depending on your pet’s needs. I also enjoy keeping a calm, comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedule, walks, medications, and any special instructions. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! 🐾 I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where your pet can feel right at home. Since I work from home, I’m able to offer plenty of supervision, attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for! 🐾

About: My experience is primarily with dogs. My family’s dog lived to be 16 who developed blindness and needed many oral and topical medications. I have dog sat for neighborhood families, family members, and friends with dogs of all shapes and sizes and energy levels. I also lived with and helped care for a roommates cat for part of college. I am a nurse rotating between day and night shift so my schedule varies but allows for flexibility! I love to go on walks so I would love for your pet to join my routine! I will ensure your pet is comfortable and happy in its surroundings through establishing clear and consistent communication with you to better understand their needs.

“Reno was great! Very responsive and did an awesome job with our senior dog Tyson, ensuring he wasn't overextended on their walk in the extreme heat.”

“Niki is amazing! She provides photos and detailed message updates throughout her dog-walking visits. She lets me know when she arrives, how the walk is going, and when she’s done for the day. This stops me from having to worry about my dog at all while I’m at work! Before the first visit, she took her time to ask tons of important questions about my dog’s care and preferences. Charlie takes a bit of time to warm up to people, but Niki has been patient and has definitely won him over. She’s also flexible and has been able to work around any changes in my schedule. Overall, she’s a great pick! 10/10 recommend.”

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.

“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.”

Michael G.

“So grateful for Paulina coming through for us last minute again. She's also so patient with our rowdy large puppy. I would definitely recommend her service!”

About: Being the oldest, my siblings and pets were always my responsibility. Now that I’m grown I don’t have any kids however I have 5 dogs. I love the fur babies. People think I’m crazy for loving dogs so much. I think they’re crazy for not understanding. I do media coverage for events so my schedule is super flexible as the events aren’t every day. I shoot for a few hours then I have the rest of the day free. I treat pets and property with utmost respect and care. I don’t just do what I’m being paid to do. If something needs to be done I’ll do it as long as it’s approved. If your dog went to the bathroom, I’ll clean it up. Things like that.

“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!”

Taylor B.

“Good communication with me about the visit and questions prior to the visit.”

Margie M.

“I needed someone last minute to help walk Buster and Jenny was so quick to respond and help out. Our boy looked happy and even our cats got some attention while she dropped in. She’s easy to work with and very communicative. Thank you Jenny!!!”

About: Hi! My name’s Eliza. I’ve been dog/cat sitting and walking for many years, but I’ve been an enthusiastic animal lover for my entire life. Growing up, we always had at least two dogs in the family and many cats. I love being around animals, going for walks and making some extra cash! My experience ranges from walking and sitting small dogs (toy poodles) to large ones (pit bulls and bloodhounds). I also have experience in caring for older animals and animals with health problems and medications. I am very comfortable and confident around all dogs. My biggest goal is making sure your pets are cared for and happy. I generally work in the evenings so I am free during the day to give your dog a bathroom break, a nice walk, dedicated play time or whatever you’re looking for! I am unable to house pets in my apartment, but will treat your home with the utmost respect. I will always clean up after your pet and make sure everything is safe and sound when I leave.
