Servicing West Philly/University City/Center City/South Philly **Disclaimer: For those worried about photo/video updates, I typically send them outside of the Rover app since the app is known to have issues uploading from the sitter’s end or loading on the owner’s end. Picture updates are usually sent 2-3 times a day via WhatsApp or text.** I have been taking care of dogs for nearly 15 years now and have 7 years of specialized experience training both puppies and adult dogs, particularly anxious and/or reactive dogs. My experience includes, but is not limited to: potty training, loose leash walking/heeling, human & dog reactivity, anxious dogs, resource guarding. I can also administer medications and bathe dogs. Summary: I am generally available for dog sitting throughout the week. I am available for walks anytime between 8am-2pm during the week and anytime after 1pm on weekends (unless discussed beforehand). Additional fees may apply for last minute bookings (especially around holidays), and for late night walks/drop-ins (after 8pm). **Meet & Greets cost $20 for 1/2 hour. This is to accommodate for travel time & cost. Meet & Greets would be booked as a dog walking service and I will adjust the price accordingly. Thank you for your understanding.** **Last minute bookings (Less than 36 hours notice) will incur a one-time extra fee between $25-40 for walks/drop-ins, or between $50-100 for pet sitting, depending on length of stay. **Dogs and puppies that need to be constantly watched or cannot be left alone for at least 2-3 hours will be charged extra ($30-35/day). If this is found to be the case after the service has already begun, the price will be modified to reflect this. Walks & hikes: I have personally and professionally raised and trained puppies, adult and senior dogs (including reactive and anxious ones) for 7+ years. I understand the anxiety and stress when leaving your pup in the care of another, so I always treat my clients pups the same way I would treat my own. This includes no meeting strange or unknown dogs during walks, high vigilance when walking around the city, and constant check-ins with your pup (ie. observing body language) to ensure they are feeling at ease and comfortable with their surroundings and interactions. As always, your pups’ safety is my priority. I go on hikes with my own pup every weekend morning (Saturday and Sunday), so walks during the weekend will start after 2-3pm, unless you have specifically requested for your pup to join in on the hiking adventures (~5-7 mile hikes; additional fees apply). Additional fees/charges may be applied for extra services performed during my stay. These can include, but are not limited to: bathing pets, excessive accidents in the house, dogs needing 2+ hours per day of exercise and/or 3+ miles per day, hikes, buying and/or making food for pets, gas/transportation compensation.
