Dog Walking Point Breeze

About: I am a dog mom myself and I grew up with a poodle for 16 years. I’ve lived with and cared for a cat for 2 years and am the go-to pet sitter for friends when needed! I have experience with city dog walking, overnight or drop-in pet sitting, and medication administration. I have significant experience with senior dogs, am active and resilient in keeping up with younger dogs, and I'm game to help train. While my "expertise" and experience is with dogs, I love and have been a cat sitter for friends and neighbors and am not a novice. Because I’m a dog mom myself in an apartment I am unable to offer boarding, but I would love to help you out with drop-ins, walks, or house sittings this spring and summer! I’m lucky to have the time to offer my services and I understand the expectations and care an owner has when booking accommodations for their pet and I strive to provide that in return! I work part time during nights so I am flexible through the daytime and most nights a week/end. Happy to be of service for your last minute drop ins/walks in a pinch too! I have experience with drop-in/walking, house sitting, and overnight pet sitting. It’s important to me that your pet is comfortable, safe, happy and in as familiar and safe an environment as I can provide for them. As a pet owner myself, I understand the anxiety and occasional frustrations with securing pet care when you’re away and I feel strongly about providing a loving and hospitable service to a client. I’m fortunate to have the availability for pet care right now and want to be available in any capacity I can for Philadelphia dog parents as the weather warms up.

“Elizabeth is so attentive and great with our dog Beau. He can sometimes be reactive towards other dogs but she handles him great 👍 Will definitely be booking future walks!!”

“Theo is awesome! He is really good with my dog and communicates really well.”

“Zack is the best dog walker ever. The girls love him, he’s always reliable, and he’s a great communicator. What else could you ask for! We’re sad that he’s moving away from our neighbourhood, but we wish him all the best with the move!”

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life, as far back as my grandma's farm cats! For the past five years, I have had two cats of my own :) One of my cats was previously feral and found by my fiance; as such, I have plenty of experience building trust and developing meaningful connections with animals. Furthermore, she has asthma and feline hyperthyroidism. I have had to administer medications in many forms and am prepared to cater to any needs of your fur baby! Over the past few years, I have also cared for several dogs and have experience with pets of all shapes and sizes. I am currently in a PhD program at Penn and have a flexible schedule, so I can adjust my schedule around the needs of your pet's care! I treat any pet with the same level of attention and compassion as my own. I hold trustworthiness, communication, and timeliness in the highest regard. Furthermore, your home will be respected and left as it was found.

“Taylor was great! I found myself in a situation that required my attention and Taylor was able to care for my pup while I had to leave! She was very communicative, thorough, and an overall great experience!! This was my first time using Taylor and she made it very smooth.”

“My dog Winnie loved her walks with Siobhan! She is very reliable and always gives Winnie lots of love and attention during their walks together!”

“Julie has been very patient with my senior babe who needs some time warming up to new people. She took the time to give her treats and helping her feel safe enough to go for walks with a new person. I’m grateful for people like Julie who make my precious furbaby feel safe and taken care of. I will be using Julie in future! Thanks Julie!”

“Alex was great with walking Bodhi. He communicated well, was always prompt and was super flexible. Look forward to having him take care of and walk Bodhi again!”

“Kaydee deserves more then the 5 stars alotted. She has made our family feel safe and at ease in taking care of our pup. He’s a large German Shepherd with a lot of energy and you can tell he loves her. I get a picture, update and message each day when she walks him. We are so happy and so is our boy!”

About: Caregiving is one of my favorite things to do. I try to value and nurture all relationships and interactions I have; including those with animals. On a daily basis, you could find me like a balance beam. Actively utilizing both a quick to move mentality and a one that likes to observe details. I’m an involved and hands on person. No matter the environment I’d like to make everyday enriching. Give me a challenge and you’ll have a player.

About: Taken care of cats since my first at 7 years old; also cared for her many kittens in the years following. Super comfortable with kittens, senior cats, and everything in between. You name it, I've taken care of it. My first pet was a tomato frog and since then I've kept snakes, geckos, and insects. I'm happy to care for your non-furry critters, too! Also a biologist :) I just recently moved to Philly where I'm looking for work, so I'll do my absolute best to work with most any time you suggest. I try to operate on a "no trace left behind" system. I'll keep your critters safe and happy with your space left totally clean.

“Quick and great communication! I appreciate the amount of pics!”
