Pet Services and Rates
I
offer mid-day walks for people who work long hours, and also morning or late afternoon
\ early evening walks to accommodate your schedule. Crated dogs especially need
walks throughout the day, because a lack of exercise can result in a hyperactive
dog in need of socialization. I offer 20, 30, 45 or 60-minute walks which provide
regular exercise and companionship. I also can visit 2x's a day or more for puppies
who need more than 1 visit per day. My rates are competitive with, if not better
than, other dog walking companies. My main service area is zip 19130, 19102 &
19103.

2 Recurring walks means the same time for 5 days per week, every
week. Up to a $60 saving per month.
I
also offer pet sitting. This is a better option for dogs than staying at a dog
kennel, or moving your cats to new surroundings or leaving them alone for a long
period of time. Your pets stay where they are most comfortable with familiar sights
and smells. I can visit up to 4 x’s a day for dogs. I can also make your
place looked lived-in by leaving lights on, taking out trash, getting mail, or
turning on the TV for those pets who are TV-viewing "floor potatoes".
My service area is all of zips 19102, 19103, & 19130, and the Poplar section
of 19123 East to 10th St., 19107 East to 10th St., and 19146 south to Christian
St. Payment up front is required for new clients.

I
offer cat boarding since I own two cats, but can also provide dog boarding, especially
for small or cat-friendly dogs. I have a yard and a separate back room for bigger
dogs, or dogs that do not get along with cats. Your pets will receive personal
attention, feeding, 3 walks per day, litter cleaning, etc. I do request that you
provide food, unless it is a single night.

or last-minute changes. I do charge $2 for each key if I need to make a copy of
your key(s).
4. I leave a business card after every visit detailing how the walk\visit went,
and I will alert you by phone or text if your pet is acting different and may
be sick.

updates.
