Dog lover serving Center City
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Tarik and I live in Center City with my partner and our beautiful black cat. I have spent most of my life living with and caring for a variety of dogs, from tiny Chi’s, senior Dachshunds, rambunctious Great Danes, and newborn Lab pups. When I was young I took classes where I learned how to properly walk dogs, including use of various harnesses, correct leashing techniques, and how to work with dogs who tend to pull or who are less cooperative. I am a total hands-on affection giver with animals. Hugs, kisses, and furniture sharing are all fine and good by me. I grew up with two doxies and played an active role in their care until leaving home. I can’t wait to get to know your furry companions! Please note I only serve the Center City area, river-to-river between Race and Washington.
Reviews
Tarik checked on my cat while I was gone twice and updated me with photos. Would use his services anytime!
Great communicator.

Tarik is excellent. He’s been watching our dog for 1.5 years and is kind, reliable, and easy to deal with. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment
With regards to my care, I am an a seasoned expert at providing love, attention, and play for dogs and cats. I'm quite a tree of a person so I'm able to keep big dogs in tow on walks. I always keep a short lead when walking dogs for safety's sake and pay close attention to make sure nobody eats anything they shouldn't.
Information Tarik I. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting a dog I would like to know anything that is important to the owner, such as any special medical needs or physical limitations that their dog my have. I also appreciate instructions on where to find leashes/harnesses/bags. I look forward to meeting your baby!
A typical day
I love taking advantage of Philly's many beautiful parks. I love getting my steps in so my walks tend to be pretty far-reaching. If your pup needs a lot of exercise feel free to request a one-hour service. I also love a good fetch, something I miss as a cat owner. And, of course, cuddles at home on the couch after a long walk!
