Dog Walking Fairmount-Spring Garden

About: Having grown up with a dog in the home, I love the little moments of joy with our canine friends but also understand the attention and care each dog needs. Whether your pet is rambunctious and playful or needs more gentle care, let me know how I can best make them comfortable and happy. My availability varies seasonally; I'm an educator, so normally my weekday availability is limited to late afternoons and evenings. Weekends are very clear and flexible for me. In the summer, my schedule is wide open, so feel free to book me for those much-needed summer vacations! When I am dropping in to your place or staying to house sit, I approach your pet -- especially one who's new to me -- with care and gentleness. I double-check instructions each day to make sure I provide top-quality care.

“Sabin was absolutely great in walking my Ellie. I had an odd situation where I needed a walker while Ellie stayed with my elderly Dad who could not walk her easily. Sabin was very accomodating and left a very positive impression on both me and my Dad. He was professional, kind and trustworthy. I will definitely contact him again in the future.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for 6 years now, most of which have been around 10 years old or older all loved with extreme care. I am currently on summer break from college and am able to care for pets on most weekdays and some weekends depending on my availability. I have my own dog in the city and am very comfortable walking and taking care of her. I would care for your dog the same way you would both in and out of the home.

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.

About: I am a full-time cat sitter, so I can easily accommodate your cat’s schedule. I’m available most days for playtime, feeding, and cuddles :) From one cat owner to another, I take this role and its responsibilities very seriously. I prioritize your cat’s well-being while respecting the space and privacy. I follow instructions closely, ensuring feeding, exercise, and medication needs are met. I maintain cleanliness and tidiness, and will write notes/updates for you throughout📝 I'll make sure your cat feels right at home while you're away. You can rest easy knowing they're in good hands with me!

About: I have been dog sitting for over a year and take pride in providing attentive, reliable care to dogs. I have experience with puppies and dogs who experience small anxiety.I always give frequent updates while sitting, as I believe reassurance is one of the most important things an owner can receive. Before each house sit or drop-in visit, I make sure to ask about any specific rules, routines, or personality traits so I can provide the best possible care and ensure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am currently working part-time, which allows me to have ample time to provide attentive and reliable care for your dog or dogs. I offer full-week house sitting services, as well as drop-in visits and dog walks Monday through Friday. I provide in-home pet care tailored to each client’s established routine, following all guidelines and preferences provided by the owner prior to the booking. I place a strong emphasis on clear communication and will promptly inform owners of any changes to their pet’s normal behavior or routine while in my care, such as hesitation during daily walks or a decrease in appetite. Consistent and frequent updates are always guaranteed throughout each booking.nt of food. Frequent updates to owners is a guarantee when I am booked.

I currently have three cats and one dog of my own, so daily pet care is already a natural part of my routine. Over the years, I’ve learned to understand animals’ different personalities, needs, and signals. I’m patient, loving, and attentive, and I treat every pet like family. I’m also comfortable with bathing and grooming, including giving basic haircuts for dogs. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy senior, or a curious kitty, I always adapt my care to make each pet feel safe, happy, and loved.
