Fitler Square Petcare :)

Pet care experience

Hello Rover! My name is Darcy, and I am a long time animal lover. My breadth of pet care experience spans from raising my late Yorkie terrier, Teddy, and growing up with my family Cocker Spaniel-Terrier mix, Tootsie. I have always had a profound appreciation for all four legged friends and look to adopt another pup in the coming months, but until then - I figured I would help me help you, seems like the best of both! In addition to my own personal pet ownership, since living in Philadelphia, I have taken to pet sitting and dog walking in my spare time! I have had the pleasure of walking my neighbor's Boston Terrier named Hank for the last two years, my sister's Portuguese Water dog named Marston, my prior roommate's Westie Terrior Camie, and my college pal's Shar-pei named Lily! Now that I have a home of my own, I'd love to help you watch over your beloved pups! I am located in a perfect location, accessible to any Philadelphia residences as well as Fitler and Rittenhouse Square if you so chose to have them stay with me. Let the fun begin!

Darcy was great. She responded to my last-minute request in a very short time and was very accommodating. She also provided plenty of updates and pictures. I was 100% confident that Minnie was in good hands. I would not hesitate to reach out to Darcy again! Highly recommended!

I would highly recommend Darcy for her excellent work with animals, she truly embodies the heart of a dog lover! Our Teddy and Tootsie have enjoyed her company on many occasions as she exercises, cares for, and spoils them rotten! It's evident how much they love her when their tails get to waggin' whenever they see her. Without a doubt she is our favorite dog walker!

Darcy is a godsend! I work long hours and have two little monsters that need to get their exercise. She is extremely flexible with my crazy hours and is always there to keep Cooper and Marston happy as I'm away for the day. I would recommend Darcy to any of my family or friends, even with the most difficult fur children, she has a way of getting the job done! Thanks so much for all you do, I don't know what I (or Cooper and Marston), would do without you!!!!

Darcy has always been such a reliable, dependable, and caring friend of both animals and humans! I can always trust that Darcy will have everything under control and taken care of 100%. You heard it here, folks, you'd be crazy to not have Darcy at your service taking care of your favorite furry sidekick!

Information Darcy S. would like to know about your pet

As much information you can disclose about your pet the better! In addition to pet sitting, I have 6 years of consistent childcare experience and I approach new families the same way - a simple list of scheduling/recommended food/bed & walk times are most appreciated. Favorite activities, any health related concerns I should be aware of, as well as key behavioral call-outs (has an aversion to strangers, other dogs etc).

A typical day

My residence is located just steps away from the beautifully maintained Filter Square, 3 blocks from the Schuylkill river trail, and a little less than 4 blocks from Rittenhouse Square. When your pups board with me, we will go exploring through all the walks of what my neighborhood has to offer! Maybe even stop by Twenty Manning for a sip from their complimentary Dog bowls :) All trees are up for sniffing, and sticks for playing fetch! I love to stay active, and if approved will take your dog on a nice long walk or run down the riverwalk.
