Dog Walking Rittenhouse

About: I just adore dogs! I grew up with them; at one point, we had four at once. As an adult, I’ve dog-sit for many people in my life. Some even say they’ve never seen their dog connect with somebody like they have with me! I’d be happy to help out with any size, any breed, any age, and any energy level. Feel free to reach out with any questions, I’d love to get to know your pup! Currently, I’m working part-time and primarily remote. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m able for dog walking and drop-ins most days of the week and most times of the day. Would be happy to chat more about how our schedules can compliment each other’s! I’ll be incredibly respectful of your space, it’ll be as if I was never there. I’ll be sure to keep your space clean, organized, and ensure you come home to a happy pet. I’m glad to accommodate to you and your pet’s needs/desires, whatever those may be.

About: I'm currently a grad student with a flexible schedule, and honestly, time outdoors with a dog is my favorite way to recharge and get away from the screen. A good walk or an afternoon of play doesn't feel like a chore to me — it's the part of my day I look forward to. That means your dog gets someone with the energy and genuine enthusiasm to keep up with them, not just clock in and out. I grew up with a golden retriever and was the one taking care of him solo whenever my parents traveled for work, so I've been the trusted "person in charge" since I was a kid. I offer dog walking, doggy day care, and drop-in visits & house sitting, and I'm comfortable with everyone from high-energy pups to laid-back loungers. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some company, or a full day of play, I'll treat them like my own. Can't wait to meet you both! As a grad student with a flexible, largely home-based schedule, I can give your pet real attention and keep to their routine. Through the summer I'm generally free all day, every day, except Sunday mornings. Because I'm home and around for most of the day, I can stick to your pet's normal routine — feedings, walks, meds, and play at the times they're used to — and send you updates and photos so you always know how they're doing. If you have a specific schedule you'd like me to follow, just let me know and I'll build my day around it. Doggy day care: I'm in a comfortable 750 sq ft one-bedroom apartment with easy access to Rittenhouse Square, so your dog gets a cozy home base plus plenty of nearby green space for walks, play, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. They'll have my attention, a steady routine, and regular trips outside rather than being left to lounge alone. Dog drop-in visits: I like to be thorough so your dog's day feels exactly like it does when you're home. Before your first visit, I'll ask where to find the spare leash, poop bags, water, and treats, and I'll want to know your usual walking route and routine. The more detail you can share, the better — I'd genuinely rather have too many instructions than too few, so your pup gets the same care and rhythm they're used to. Cat drop-in visits: For cats, I pay close attention to the details that keep them comfortable while you're away. I'll ask where the litter box is, whether it needs refilling, and exactly how you'd like it cleaned, plus where to find food, water, and treats. I also like to know their favorite toy and how they usually like to play or spend their day, so I can match their normal routine rather than disrupt it. Clear instructions are always welcome — I'd rather follow your way of doing things to the letter.

“Pamela was patient and accommodating when the logistics of our trip made her job more difficult than expected. She is easy to communicate with, very responsive, friendly, and easy going. She came to our resort and walked our dog so we could enjoy longer days in the parks. Thanks Pamela!”

Anna B.

“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!”

Khaled I.

“Punctual, polite and pleasant are all words that describe Megha’s visits. She was careful and considerate in handling my young and rambunctious puppy. Overall I would highly recommend Meghan to walk your dog!”

Cory D.

“Brenna was great. Usually a little tentative with new people, it only took one time walking together before Scout warmed up to Brenna and really looked forward to their walks together.”

Melissa L.

“Nicholas is great. He has been great with both my dogs. One of my dogs is reactive and just got back from a month long board and train and has been great helping me keep her on her training. They are always in great moods when I come home.”

About: I have experience dog sitting and walking dogs for the past 7 years. I used to compete in dog shows so I have experience training many different types of dogs. As a dog owner myself I understand that a pet is family and will treat your pets like one of my own! I am a medical student who has the summer off so I am free all days of the week until August to care for your pets. I treat my clients home with the utmost respect and abide by the rules of the house. I ensure your pet feels comfortable with someone unfamiliar and create a safe environment for them.

“Paige was a great dog walker—prompt and communicative! She followed our instructions and Mimi loved her. Definitely cannot recommend her enough for your next Rover, as we’ll definitely book her again ☺️”

Angela H.

“Nicole was very communicative about scheduling and was great with Izzy! I felt comfortable leaving him in her care for walks, even though he can be quite the handful. Thank you so much Nicole!!”

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for as long as I can remember—starting from age six, I grew up surrounded by pets and can’t imagine life without them. I currently have three cats and one dog of my own, so daily pet care is already a natural part of my routine. Over the years, I’ve learned to understand animals’ different personalities, needs, and signals. I’m patient, loving, and attentive, and I treat every pet like family. I’m also comfortable with bathing and grooming, including giving basic haircuts for dogs. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy senior, or a curious kitty, I always adapt my care to make each pet feel safe, happy, and loved.

I’m located near beautiful state parks and reservoirs—perfect for peaceful, enriching walks in nature. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your pet’s routine closely and offer lots of love, attention, and care as if they were my own.
