Dog Mom for Hire!

Pet care experience

Hi I’m very happy to care for your pet as if they were my own! We like to provide a home away from home for your pet while they are in our care. My partner and I have flexible schedules and time to care for your pet's specific needs. We also have a huge (for Philly) fenced in pet friendly backyard for your pup to enjoy! We are big time dog lovers and can't wait to meet your fur baby! Before moving to Philly, I fulfilled a long time dream of mine to become a dog mom! My pup is now almost 2 year old boodle named Tommy, and I've raised him since he was 2 months. I would love to be able to bring him along on any dog walks/ house visits. We've hosted many dogs in our home and Tommy loves the company and has a calming presence for other pups as they spend their time here. He likes to teach them the ropes when they get here and takes his job seriously of helping to care for your pet! He also just loves a good playtime companion! I do not shy away from any size, breed or age of dogs, we love all pets from couch potatoes to high energy wackos! I grew up with cats and dogs (German Shepherds and a Cocker Spaniel mix) and have shared homes with pets for years. Having raised my own puppy, I understand the importance of training and will keep up with routines or training activities as needed. I can also accommodate most special pet needs such as medications, dietary or physical restrictions. Please feel free to shoot us a message with any questions you may have, I am an open book and Tommy and I cannot wait to meet and care for your pet!

Colleen was great! Oreo seemed to get along well with her dog and he came back tired and happy. Would definitely book again in the future

Information Colleen M. would like to know about your pet

Your pup will need to be friendly with other dogs. My pup is incredibly friendly and gentle and gets along with all other dogs and I trust that owners will not book with me unless their pup will enjoy that environment as well.

A typical day

Dogs have free roam of our fenced in backyard. My partner often works in the living room or kitchen and will supervise the pups during the day. In the evening, dog parks, long or short walks depending on your pup's needs. We typically make a visit to Fishtown dog hot spot, Palmer Doggie Depot and also take the pups on any other outings.
