Jerry Monster
“Jerry is a rescue dog who was found in Camden with a broken leg and cigarette burns all over his body when he was 9 months old As a result, he is very timid around people he doesn’t know, even now as an old man of 11 years. When Lindsay and Carrie came over for the first time, they were very patient with him, knowing his history. By the end of the visit, he had them giving him belly rubs - his favorite! The Monster Minders have a keen understanding of dogs and cats, and don’t mind getting on all fours to romp, play and get covered in animal hair. In fact, they seem to thrive on it! We are very grateful to have found them when we did. Jerry loves it when they come over to play”

Sophie Monster
“Thank you for being Sophie’s new best friend! My husband and I look forward to coming home and spending time with our ‘bundle of energy’ knowing that she’s had a good time on her walk with you. Thank you also for being so accommodating when it comes to our crazy and last minute schedule. We are so exited to have found you and it sets our mind at ease knowing she’s in such good hands. As I type this she’s snoozing (and snoring) at my feet...Thanks to you!”
Liz and Chris, South Philly
Starti Monster (AKA Starti Pants or The Pants)
“Starti has never been happier now that he’s being taken care of daily by The Monster Minders. A nice note is left every day describing his adventures with The Minders. This is much more pleasant than what we would sometimes come home to before Lindsay and Carrie came into Starti’s world!”
Seth and Shari, Bella Vista
Wiley Monster
“Carrie and Lindsay have been so incredibly accommodating, reliable and sweet when it comes to working with them. My dog Wiley is incredibly fearful of strangers, especially men. They took as much time was needed to work with Wiley and allow him to get used to them. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a dog walker or cat sitter!”

Leo and Georgia Monster
“I’m so happy with your service! Jessica and her notes are great! It’s totally in line with what drew me in to hooking up with you guys -- the style, care and professionalism that you have crafted into The Monster Minders.”
Dan, Bella Vista
Zarah Monster
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Zarah. I feel confident leaving her in your hands. I always know she is safe and happy during the day. And I LOVE reading your notes each evening!”
UPDATE: Zarah and Carly moved to the West Coast.
This is what she sent us: “It will be so hard not to have The Monster Minders with us in Seattle. I wish we could take you with us. Zarah loves you. Knowing she was with you made leaving her everyday so much easier. I seriously don’t know what we are going to do without you. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the wonderful care you have taken with Zarah. We will miss you!”
We miss you too Zarah!

Jade & Pearl Monsters
“ You really are the best service around -- dog walking or anything else. Your dependability and trustworthiness is amazing, not to mention that you are such fantastic caregivers. I really appreciate all that you do for us, and I know my girls love you too. You guys do an excellent job. In fact, I wish everyone as as reliable and easy to work with as you! “

Maverick and Dexter Monsters
“Mav’ and Dex’ are two happy, rambunctious and outgoing cats who need a LOT of attention. Once or twice a month, I am out of town for days at a time. I used to get stressed about traveling and the need to coordinate with friend to take care of them. However, now that I have The Monster Minders, I stress no more. They provide wonderful and reliable care for my crazy guys and take time to play with them while at my house. I come home to find two happy and relaxed cats. And that’s always a good thing!”

STILL need more proof?
Bruno Monster
“I just wanted you to know I was really pleased with your service. My Minder left little notes about Bruno's day which I thought was cute. She also seems to have found a bunch of his toys that he loves to hide. He was really good when I got back, what a difference! He wasn't as needy and clingy as he usually is when I've been away (he didn't even follow me around), and his food bowl and litter box was cleaner than I keep it! I didn't feel as guilty! Tell Jessica I said thank you and I look forward to her visit next weekend!”

Derfel Monster
“We discovered The Monster Minders last summer (2006). We had only recently moved to Center City when my husband had emergency lung surgery and complications, and ended up spending six weeks in the hospital. I was desperate for help with our rambunctious but lovable Border Collie; I work full-time and between my commute and needing to be at the hospital with Bob, I truly think I'd have lost my mind had I not lucked out and found Carrie and Lindsay's card at the dog park. They are now like members of our family and two of Derfel's favorite people in the whole world. Although Bob is now recovered and retired, they help us out whenever we travel, and knowing they are there if he gets ill again is an enormous comfort. They are so completely reliable and yet so relaxed and pleasant! It's fun to read the little notes they leave about Derfel's adventures, and sharing them with Bob while he was in the hospital last summer cheered him up and helped him relax and heal more quickly.”

Bud and Cooper Monsters
"The Monster Minders are so conscientious, caring and professional. I completely trust my Minder and wouldn't trade her for anyone. I know my dogs are safe and are having lots of fun when they are being cared for. A highly recommended company.”
Janet, Pennsport
Maxie Monster
“ Thanks guys, I can't tell you what a major support you have been during my new job and school. It has allowed me to take on these new responsibilities knowing that Maxie is getting the walks and attention! You have always been flexible with my schedule. It’s great knowing that someone I can trust and who knows Maxie’s routine is nearby. I can call you if needed for additional walking or sitting anytime! The Monster Minders allows me to have Maxie here in the city, and she gets the exercise she needs to be happy!”

Lucy Monster
“I just wanted to let you know how happy I have been with your services! I feel like Alicia is my invisible partner in learning
about and training my new baby, Lucy. I love coming home to her notes and I feel like Lucy is progressing by leaps and bounds with Alicia's additional thoughts, work and reinforcement. It's so good to know that Lucy is in kind & wise hands when I am not around.”
