Dog Walking in Maple Shade

About: I’m a natural caregiver, experienced with cat care, dog care, and senior dog care. I work in healthcare and enjoy gardening - tending to the needs of all living things brings me immense joy, whether that is through playing with cat and pup toys, going for walks, or cuddling on the floor or couch (if permitted). I’ve worked with pets with hearing and/or vision impairment and am sensitive to their needs. I will truly treat your pet as if they were my own. As a young professional with no kids or pets of my own, I’d love to make myself available to care for your pets! Please note my full time job keeps me away for 8 hour shifts Tues to Friday. I am available for morning walks (6-8am), any time after 5pm, and all day Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I’m a homebody, so if you choose me to pet sit in your home you can rest assured your pet will receive plenty of good company and TLC. It’s very important to me to follow your instructions to the T. The more you share with me about your fur babies’ needs, the better I can care for them. I appreciate written instructions in whatever level of detail you are willing to provide. I also love to share pics/videos of your pets with you while you’re traveling, if you’re comfortable with that! I’ve completed the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid Online training course.

“First 3 days of using Vanessa- lots of communication & pictures. Vito seems happy to be getting a morning walk and break out of the crate. I would recommend her”

Laura D.

“Joey is always happy when Gabrielle comes by. She puts about a mile on him each visit, and he's gotten a lot perkier. I can't recommend Gabrielle and Rover more.”

Joshua V.

“Alexandra was easy to communicate with. I was updated with pictures and details of how the walk went. I will use her for my future walks of my pups.”

Jessica V.

“This was our first time using Karen and she did a wonderful job. My anxious pup settled in nicely and was very happy in all of the pictures Karen sent. Loved the updates too. Will definitely use Karen again.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was two and love taking care of them. I had my dog for 16 years and have experience with puppies and senior dogs as a result. I have pet sit for my friends and family for many years and have experience with all ages and sizes of dogs. I am a college student in the area and go to school a few days a week. I’m available for boarding any day of the week. I have a fenced yard with no other dogs incase clients dogs have trouble with other dogs. Dogs are welcome to come inside my home as well. For pet sitting in clients homes, I will follow any rules or schedules provided to ensure the safety and health of your pets.

“Alexis is prompt, responsive and flexible. Also she is great with my reactive dog!!!”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom of 15+ years. I’ve cared for pups of all ages—from wiggly little puppies to sweet senior dogs—and I treat every furry friend like family. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or medication time, I’ve got it covered with love and experience. You can count on me for awesome care, big heart, and lots of tail wags while you’re away! I work part-time remotely, so I have the time and flexibility to meet an animal's needs. I am home for the majority of the day, including weekends. I live in a beautiful community with plenty of walking paths, your animal would be free to roam my home, or I can create your animal if or when desired. I am also open to stopping by your home to provide feeding/walking services.

About: I’m a patient and experienced dog owner who has lovingly cared for my own dogs from puppyhood through 17 years of age, gaining hands-on experience with every life stage—from energetic early years to gentle senior care. I understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and compassion, and I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, medications, and lots of affection. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve also pet sat for friends, providing reliable, attentive care tailored to each dog’s unique needs and personality. While I don't currently have any pets, I'm a recent dog parent. Our sweet pug crossed the 🌈 bridge earlier in the year. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pups. This would be a regular part of my weekly routine. When caring for a dog in their home, I would focus on keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and comfortable. I’d follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications, while making sure the dog gets plenty attention and reassurance. I would monitor their behavior and overall well-being and communicate any concerns. I'll keep their space clean and secure, and provide loving interactions so they feel safe and cared for in their home.

About: I have grown up with a house of animals and helped care for them all including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, bearded dragons, hamsters, rabbits and chickens! I’ve also pet sit for family and friends on numerous occasions. I have lived in Manayunk/roxborough for a couple years and adopted a 3 month old puppy in May 2018. Now that she’s grown up a bit, I’d love to help out with other dogs as much as possible. Most of my experience is with larger dogs (50lbs and up) but I am comfortable with smaller dogs and pets too (including cats and caged animals). I have also had experience with dogs who don’t get along well with other animals, so can accommodate your pup who just needs one on one attention for drop ins. I am also comfortable with puppies, having raised one myself, and know all the extra work that goes into it. I work from home, so can do drop ins during the day. Depending on your preference I can take them for walks, throw a ball in your yard, or just hangout with them in the house! I am very responsible, overprotective and loving. My dog is my baby, and I will treat your dog like my own! I work from home and have a flexible schedule during the work day, from 10AM to 4PM, and can care for your pet during these hours. When coming and leaving your home, I will always make sure doors and fences are secured. I will also make sure there are no hazards for your pup to get into.

“Michael was wonderful with my dog Shelby. He showed up on time each day, and was gentle and patient with her. (She was reluctant to go out sometimes). He communicated with me each day about how it went. Shelby acquainted herself quickly with Michael and started to look forward to her walks. I would highly recommend him. He's definitely a dog lover and is responsible and communicative. Thanks Mike!”

“Melissa is great! Our dog is particular and has some fearfulness but she handles him well and followed any routines and tips we gave her. She is very respectful of his needs. Highly recommend!”

“From the first moment Chase met Sarah I felt comfortable with her taking care of my furbaby. Communication was top tier, she was on time and the beat part Chase was excited ro see her. With work making me travel again I know Chase will be in great hand and I plan on using all the services she offers.”

About: As a proud pet parent to a Newfoundland and a Coonhound, I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also volunteer at my local animal shelter, where I've worked with a wide variety of dogs and cats. Whether your pet is big, small, shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, I'll provide the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. I'd be happy to care for dogs, cats, or any other furry family members! I work remotely from home so I have plenty of opportunity to stop by for a potty break or quick walk or hang out with your pet while I get some work done I always follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I have experience using a variety of harnesses, leashes, and crates, and I personally crate-trained my own dogs. I’m attentive to each pet's body language, behavior, and individual needs. As the owner of dogs with resource-guarding tendencies, I'm especially knowledgeable about recognizing stress signals, managing interactions safely, and preventing conflicts before they occur. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and loving environment while treating every pet like they're part of my own family.

“Lacie loves Erica and her walks with her. Erica is an excellent communicator, great with Lacie who can be reactive and we really appreciate her!”
