Dog Walker and Pet Sitter 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 four 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 in the summer of 2008.

I offer standard rates, have a dog walker \ pet sitter 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, as well as professional pet portraits (FREE for clients!)

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 7:30 am to 8:30 pm (except 4:00-7:00 PM), 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 your pets needs and any requests that you may 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 - FREE for clients!
