Daily Dog Walking
Working long hours? We offer walks and outings in the middle of the day throughout the week for dogs in need of exercise and/or relief. It’s unhealthy for dogs to “hold it” all day and it can help dogs with separation anxiety who get destructive if left alone too long.
You may specify a walk, play ball in the yard, snuggle/TLC time, a combination of all etc. 30 minutes is generally adequate for moderately active dogs to less active. For highly active dogs, consider more than one walk a day, one extended walk, a Park Adventure, or an Excursion!
We want you to come home to a happy, well-exercised dog. Each visit is finished out with giving fresh water, a treat you provide if requested, and emailing you a report with a picture!
You must consistently have 2 or more days each M-F 10am-3pm scheduled to receive this discounted rate. For less often than that or outside those times, the pet sitting rate will apply.
$25.00 per 30 minute visit
$34.00 per 45 minute visit
$40.00 per one hour visit
$3 each additional dog
*If there is a dog in the home not belonging to the client and is to be included on the walk with the resident dog, an additional $10 fee will apply
In Home Pet Sitting
Do you need to leave town for vacation, business trip, or other obligations, or just need a sporadic visit to your dog or cat for a dinner out, day trip etc? We provide as many visits as are needed throughout the day up to 4. This allows for a stress free environment for your pet, enabling them to adhere to their daily routine. These visits include, first and foremost, lots of love and attention, as well as feeding, walking, administering medications, litter box maintenance, and other complimentary household tasks listed below. Whether you have a dog that wants to play fetch in the yard or a cat that wants to snuggle on the sofa, our goal is to be your pets’ 2nd best buddy after you and make them feel as comfortable as possible in your absence!
**Cats must be visited at least once every 24 hrs and dogs at least every 8-10 hrs.
$27.00 per 30 minute visit
$36.00 per 45 minute visit
$42.00 per hour visit

Park Adventures
If you’d like your dog to have a bit more exercise than the average walk along with a change of scenery, and possibly some socializing with other dogs, consider this fun outing! Transportation is included and time is 60 minutes door to door. We will choose from the following parks: Haverford College, Saunders Woods, Rolling Hills Park , Mill Creek Park , Windsor Trail, General Wayne Park, Merion Botanical Park , Cynwyd Trail, and Shortridge Memorial Park. We can only do off leash at Rolling Hills or Mill Creek & a waiver must be signed. This can be set up as a regular ongoing service, sporadic as needed, or interspersed with regular pet sitting visits while you travel. This visit is completed with fresh water, a treat provided by you if requested, and an email sent to you with a report and picture!
$48 1 hour total time
$5 for additional dog Limit 2 dogs
Discount offered if set up as an ongoing service within the daily dog walking parameters.
The Excursion
This is your active dog’s dream come true! This is a 90 minute start to finish service, including transportation time. We’ll take your pup out for a great time at one of the local trails. We’ll typically choose the one closest to home to minimize drive time but are open to specific requests. If your dog loves playing with other dogs, we’ll go for the ones with the best chance of that happening.
Is your dog a bit shy or not dog friendly? No problem! We know how to find those offbeat trails for a great hike on leash.

Small Animal/Critter visits
This service covers bunnies, guinea pigs, reptiles, aquariums, and birds. This is for up to 15 min of care. If pet and household tasks take more than 15 min and/or your pet would like more attention, you’ll be scheduled for the regular 30 minute pet sitting visit.
We will potentially approve scheduling less frequently than every 24 hrs for critter visits with the understanding that, in the event of illness or some other issue, visiting at least every 24 hrs gives a better chance of successful resolution.
