Dog Walker and Pet Care Services in Philadelphia

Brief Intro to Fairmount Pet Service

My name is Jim Kernicky I have been living in Philadelphia since March 2003, the last two years in the Fairmount area. I am originally from Delaware County, but I also lived in University City when I went to Drexel back in 1985. I started Fairmount Pet Service late last Summer (2008).

I offer standard rates, have a dog walker \ pet sitting bond and insurance, and have my Pet CPR and First Aid certification. Although my main pet service is dog walking, I also offer pet sitting & boarding services, and pet portraits.

Take a look at the rest of the site and feel free to send an email from the contact page, or call me directly. Note: The photos in the collage on this page are of my own cats and my clients' pets.

~ Thanks, Jim!

Benefits:

I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. I am a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter, as well as a cat owner and animal lover. I offer personalized dog walking \ pet sitting in accordance with you pets needs and any requests that you have, so that your pets are as comfortable as possible, and to give them companionship and social time. That can include anything from cleaning up a “mess”, to exercise through jogging with your dog while on a walk, to giving medication, or even watering indoor plants, mail/newspaper retrieval, security checks of windows and doors, and turning on/off lights, radio or TV so as to appear your place is occupied. I also offer professional-quality pet portraits.

Services & Service Area:

I offer dog walking throughout the day while you are at work, as well as pet sitting while on vacation. In addition to dogs and cats, I can also pet sit for many other domesticated animals. Since I own cats, I also can board your kitties at my place while you are away. And I’ll take care of any special instructions that you have when it comes to taking care of your pets. As I mentioned above, I also offer professional pet portraits and will deliver high-resolution digital files. You won't find more affordable services, and I do not charge for consultations or have hidden fees. My areas of service for dog walking are:
