Tail Wags Are My Specialty
🐾 After 18 years with my own dog, I learned that the best way to care for someone’s dog is to get to know the dog—not just the breed. Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience walking, boarding, and pet sitting throughout Philadelphia — including experience on Wag! I’m a big believer that every dog has their own personality, so I like to make walks and visits fit the pup rather than take a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your dog is a high-energy explorer who needs to burn off some zoomies, a professional sniff inspector who wants to investigate every blade of grass, or a little homebody who just wants some company, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. 🐶 My own dog, Sandie, was my best friend for 18 wonderful years, so I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. After losing her, I realized how much I missed having a dog around — and getting to spend time with other people’s pups has been one of my favorite ways to fill that gap. I’m based in Manayunk, surrounded by great walking trails, parks, and dog-friendly spots, with a dog park right at my apartment complex. My goal is simple: a happy, tired pup and a pet parent who feels completely at ease. I’ll give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and, of course, a few adorable photo updates along the way. 📸🐾

Schedule
Since I work from home, your dog won't be spending the day waiting for someone to come back from the office. I'm able to take frequent potty breaks, go for walks, and spend quality time with them throughout the day. I live in Manayunk with a dog park at my apartment and a walking trail right across the street, so there are plenty of opportunities for adventure, exercise, and meeting new furry friends. My goal is simple: make sure your dog has such a great time that they can't wait to come back!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home is a calm, comfortable environment where your dog will get plenty of one-on-one attention. I don't have any pets or roommates, so your pup won't be competing for affection, space, or playtime. Unless your dog is accustomed to using a crate and you'd prefer they continue that routine, they're welcome to relax and roam freely throughout my apartment. My goal is to make them feel as comfortable and loved as they do at home.
