Dog Walking Grays Ferry

About: I am a dog mom myself and I grew up with a poodle for 16 years. I’ve lived with and cared for a cat for 2 years and am the go-to pet sitter for friends when needed! I have experience with city dog walking, overnight or drop-in pet sitting, and medication administration. I have significant experience with senior dogs, am active and resilient in keeping up with younger dogs, and I'm game to help train. While my "expertise" and experience is with dogs, I love and have been a cat sitter for friends and neighbors and am not a novice. Because I’m a dog mom myself in an apartment I am unable to offer boarding, but I would love to help you out with drop-ins, walks, or house sittings this spring and summer! I’m lucky to have the time to offer my services and I understand the expectations and care an owner has when booking accommodations for their pet and I strive to provide that in return! I work part time during nights so I am flexible through the daytime and most nights a week/end. Happy to be of service for your last minute drop ins/walks in a pinch too! I have experience with drop-in/walking, house sitting, and overnight pet sitting. It’s important to me that your pet is comfortable, safe, happy and in as familiar and safe an environment as I can provide for them. As a pet owner myself, I understand the anxiety and occasional frustrations with securing pet care when you’re away and I feel strongly about providing a loving and hospitable service to a client. I’m fortunate to have the availability for pet care right now and want to be available in any capacity I can for Philadelphia dog parents as the weather warms up.

About: Hi everyone! my name is Rhyeshona but I prefer Shona a 24-year-old part time child care assist that also happens to love the second kind of children, animals. Unofficially I have 10+ years of experience taking care of an assortment of pet’s due to growing up in a “zoo”. Growing up my family would get a new pet every month of the year and each one demanded different requirements. Believe me I know about giving quality time around the clock. When it comes to activeness as well as my communication I take great pride in it, that’s why I’ll have no problem updating you on your pet’s with handfuls of pictures included. Being able to spend time with animals that’s suppose to act like animals gives me peace of mind and I look forward to meeting them. Around last year I graduated with my associate’s degree in Culinary Arts. After graduation however I found myself bouncing around jobs before working in childcare until I can become my on boss. I’m looking forward to meeting both you and your beloved pet. Boardings and Drop In’s I’m always around to help. ANY QUESTIONS IN MIND? GOT A PET THAT’S NOT A CAT OR DOG BUT STILL REQUIRES CARE? DON’T HESITATE TO REACH OUT! Though I work from Monday-Friday I’m most likely always home. However when Im out I’m not the only one caring for your pet it’s a family effort. I’m available from 7am to hours late into the night during the week and weekend. My home is available for care as well as your own to broaden your options. Though I don’t have my own vehicle my communication skills and experience with public transportation allows me to stay punctual. Any size cat is in my comfort zone, for dog’s I’ll be sticking with small-medium. If your pet has a routine you’d like to keep intact I’m more then willing to stick to it to provide normalcy and training to them

About: I love dogs and cats but am unfortunately not allowed to have them at the building where I live, so I get my fill of wags and purrs taking care of other people's pets. I'm extremely reliable and have a very flexible schedule. I have lots of experience including with large and active dogs. I live in the South Philly area. I do not drive but I have no problem traveling via Septa or regional rail. I'm flexible and available most days or evenings with a little notice. I am available for overnight stays with some notice. Last minute pop ins or walkings are usually not a problem, either. I can visit your home to take your dog for a walk, or pop in to feed the cats and clean the litter box, whatever works best for youband your furry friends. I can house sit reliably, and have plenty of experience.

“Theo is awesome! He is really good with my dog and communicates really well.”

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life, as far back as my grandma's farm cats! For the past five years, I have had two cats of my own :) One of my cats was previously feral and found by my fiance; as such, I have plenty of experience building trust and developing meaningful connections with animals. Furthermore, she has asthma and feline hyperthyroidism. I have had to administer medications in many forms and am prepared to cater to any needs of your fur baby! Over the past few years, I have also cared for several dogs and have experience with pets of all shapes and sizes. I am currently in a PhD program at Penn and have a flexible schedule, so I can adjust my schedule around the needs of your pet's care! I treat any pet with the same level of attention and compassion as my own. I hold trustworthiness, communication, and timeliness in the highest regard. Furthermore, your home will be respected and left as it was found.

About: I grew up with all kinds of dogs all my life and always enjoyed the company of animals. I house sit for my dad a lot of the time. Sometimes staying as much as two weeks at a time. I would watch Rocco(the Boston terroir in the photos) for years. Now I watch Phinn and Fern(The Frenchie and chihuahua ) for him and my step mom when ever they need it. I have a pet cat of my own named AK, he is the maine coon cat. We live with two other cats I help take care of as well as dog I help walk around who is a black lab named Konan after Konan coffee. Please shoot me a message! I love big dogs little dogs all kinds as well as all kinds of cats! Will be happy to answer any questions. I'm only working part time right now and my schedule is super flexible. I am available whenever is needed. Shoot me a message and we can discuss! I have a small fenced in backyard for Konan. Most of the time i just let her go to the bathroom out there but we go for walks at least once a day. The cats will also hang out in our little backyard. Would be more then willing to walk clients dogs of course.

“Julie has been very patient with my senior babe who needs some time warming up to new people. She took the time to give her treats and helping her feel safe enough to go for walks with a new person. I’m grateful for people like Julie who make my precious furbaby feel safe and taken care of. I will be using Julie in future! Thanks Julie!”

About: Hey! I’m Khy, a 24-year-old Temple University graduate. I knew from a young age that I would grow up caring for animals, as my mom got my first cat, Simba, when I was just 3 years old. At first, I was scared of him, but we eventually became the best of friends. Currently, I have 2 dogs and several cats. Michi, my border collie, loves to play fetch, it’s one of my favorite ways to pass the time! I know how important your fur babies are to you and entrusting them to me means that I will treat them as if they were my own. Providing top notch care is my specialty and communication is key for a healthy relationship between you, your pet and I so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! I’m looking forward to getting to know you and your baby(ies)! <3 I am currently available for drop in visits and house sitting throughout the day, every day of the week excluding Friday. On Friday, I am unavailable until 7:00 PM. Just let me know what days and times you need me, and we can figure something out! As long as your house has all of the things your pet needs, we should be good! Your fur baby will be under my supervision, so I’ll make sure to take good care of it care of them. I will be sure to keep them leashed at all times when we go out for a walk.

“Kaydee deserves more then the 5 stars alotted. She has made our family feel safe and at ease in taking care of our pup. He’s a large German Shepherd with a lot of energy and you can tell he loves her. I get a picture, update and message each day when she walks him. We are so happy and so is our boy!”
