I base my dog on client's request and breed of the dog. I am an active guy so I'm willing to make the walks as active as possible! If your dog likes to take it easy, we will take a leisurely stroll through town. Whatever you find works best for your dog is the exact way that I will structure his/her walk!

Depending on the dog's age, disabilities, etc. we can walk leisurely or at a comfortable pace for the dog. I am comfortable with walking up to 2 dogs at once as I have 2 dogs of my own back at home. I am comfortable with dogs that tug on leashes and need some help staying focused, I'm also comfortable with them making frequent stops as all dogs and animals are curious!

The walks all depend on your dog! Once I get to know your dog I can access if they are a dog that likes to take an active long walk or a leisurely stroll. Depending on your dog as well I can walk multiple dogs, but if your dog doesn't like that than I won't.

My walks can be catered to your doggie! If the dog is older and moving slower we can take leisurely stroll to do some sniffing and bathroom breaks! If your dog is more active and playful we can go a faster pace, visit with other dogs at the park, and even jog a little together! Dog walks will be done solo, only one dog at a time.

I only walk one dog at a time. We can go for a long walk, short walk or play catch at the park. It's all up to what your dog prefers. I can also feed them after the walk upon request. Must provide leash, poop bags, and everything that your dog need during the walk.

I love Philadelphia, and walking with dogs in Center City gives me peace of mind and inspiration. I believe dogs have different characters, so I like to provide what works best for each pet. I am happy to run with dogs as well! I am physically fit and like to spend time with animals in general. I am very patient and am interested in all types of anti-violent behavior, and that includes my techniques in training dogs to be calm and feel safe. I am clean and always carry treats as well as poop-bags with me. I can do solo-dog walking or multiple dogs as well.

I can walk with your dog leisurely, actively, multiple dogs, and solo. My hobby is jogging, so your dogs can run with me if necessary. My neighborhood has beautiful trail along the river as well as a dog run, so I also can take your dog to the river and the dog run!

**Please note that I can only accommodate walks after 6:00PM on weeknights; anytime on weekends**. I am available to provide walks at a leisurely pace for older dogs or dogs with special needs, as well as walks at a regular walking pace around the neighborhood. Being a runner, I can also take more active dogs along for a run. I prefer to walk dogs one-on-one (depending on the size and temperament), but I would be willing to walk multiple dogs if they are familiar with walking together.

Walks will normally be one on one unless I am boarding a dog at that time. If you would also rather me walk the dog one on one, that's fine too! Walks can be leisurely or active. I am an active young adult female so I am here to care for your dog's needs!

All depends on the dog and their needs! I like taking leisurely walks mostly with a solo dog, but if I'm watching other pets at the time I will bring them along as well. I also like active walks/runs with one solo dog. There is a park just a block away from my apartment where we can run around and play!

Top tips for getting started with a dog walker in Philadelphia

  1. Look for a dog walker who has passed a background check.
  2. Ask a DogVacay dog walker for a free Meet-n-Greet. Take your pet for a short stroll in Philadelphia, letting the dog walker hold the leash. You’ll know quickly if this is the right person for your pet.
  3. Then visit your home with the dog walker, so your pet becomes comfortable with this person in the dog’s territory.
  4. Make plans for letting the DogVacay dog walker into your home. Some people may feel comfortable providing a key. Others keep a key in a combination lockbox. Many people use smart locks and programmable key codes.
  5. Discuss the length and route of the walk in your neighborhood in Philadelphia. Cover what kind of updates you want (such as a “bathroom” log or behavior notes).
  6. Explain what your treat policy is after a walk. Keep treats safely stored, and let the dog walker know where to find them.
  7. Make sure your pet has the right harnesses, collars, leashes and equipment for a safe and fun walk.
