What Sets Us Apart:

 
 
Reputation is everything:  
We are the recognized leader in professional pet care in Philly.   
We have years of experience as both pet sitters and pet parents (See below).   With almost 100,000 visits under our belts, to say that we’re experienced is an understatement!   Hundreds of Center City pet parents turn to us for their pet care needs.  Our primary goal is to make Monster Minding visits safe, fun and rewarding for your best friend.   In meeting that goal, we offer our clients an unrivaled level of service.   (Testimonials) 
We’re honored by our various awards and titles, and we make sure we live up to our reputation.   As a two-time Best of Philly® winner (Best Pet-Sitters 2009, Best Urban Pet Sitter 2006) and a HotList 2010 winner (Philadelphia Style), you can expect the best pet care Philadelphia has to offer.  It’s what we’re known for. (View our Awards and Press)  

It’s an experience thing.  It’s a trust thing.  
We know every monster is different, and through our personalized service, we’ll get to know your best friend, really well!  We’re there when you can’t be, and we take that responsibility to heart. Our Minders understand your pets a part of your family, because ALL of us here at The Monster Minders are pet parents too - it’s a job requirement.  We have more than just dog walking or pet sitting experience - we have pet parenting experience.  We strongly believe in professional pet care for pet parents, by pet parents.  It’s an experience thing!   There are certified PetTech Minders on staff & trained Minders are available for subcutaneous fluid administration and injections for our more special needs monsters.  After all, it’s a trust thing! (Meet the Minders)

A best-friend back-up, 365 days a year:  
Whether you have a frisky feline, a perky pooch, or an ornery  turtle, we can relate to the bond you feel with your pet.  And we know how much it stinks to be away from them!  But no worries - that’s where we come in. Whether you’re in Tokyo on business, snorkeling in Belize, or a few blocks away at work, we’re here for you when your monster needs a best-friend back-up.  (7 days a week, 365 days a year.  Rain, snow, or shine.) We know that life doesn’t stop on the weekends and holidays.  That’s when it gets fun! 


Client-Focused Customer Service & Technology:  
But let’s face it - we have to keep our human clients happy too!  Part of how we do this is through our state-of-the-art website for scheduling and payment.   Clients can even check in on their pets in real time from work or play!   (Ask for more details about our complimentary online notes.)  We know our clients are busy, and we make both booking, paying, and keeping track of pet care visits a snap!  Our unbeatable customer service means that you’ll rest assured knowing your pet is in the hands of responsible & punctual caregivers.   
Our focus is on you.  (and your monster, but we think that goes without saying...)  You can expect timely and prompt returned phone calls and emails, seven days a week, 365 days a year.  

Safety & Personalized Service - Core Concepts of our Dog Walking Philosophy:  
Everyone who has spent a lot of time with dogs can attest to how unpredictable they are.  Due to this fact, and the fast-paced nature of our urban environment, The Monster Minders do not engage in “pack” or “group” walks.   You’re placing your best friend in our hands & we take that trust seriously.  We offer 100% of our attention and affection, at all times.  Our services are taylor-made to fit your unique monster’s needs & insures a safe (and fun!) dog walking adventure.   Sure we could take on more clients by offering “group” walks, but it would hinder the service we are so well known for.  Your monster is #1 with us.

Gaining, by Giving Back:
Here at The Monster Minders, we realize that not all monsters are as lucky as those under our care.  Each year in Philadelphia tens of thousands of pets find their way into local shelters, and sadly, many do not make it out.  We are a proud PAWS Partner.  We are active in fundraising, volunteering, fostering/adoption, and awareness for our friends at PAWS.  We have raised thousands of dollars for PAWS and fostered many homeless monsters along the way.  Through our Bubble Trouble program, we have donated hundreds of bottles of detergent to assure homeless monsters are given a warm and fresh blanket to snuggle up to while they wait to be adopted.  We’ve even organized yoga benefit nights!  (Downward dog anyone?)  
Many of our staff are active in fostering activities share their lives with rescued monsters.  We gain so much, by giving back to our community, which is why we’re proud of our record of service to monsters in need.

Reducing our Carbon Paw Print:
Before starting The Monster Minders, we both worked for an environmental non-profit in the city.  When we became business owners, we knew we couldn’t let go of that youthful idealism that tells us that everyone can make a difference.  Everyone and every company, that is.   In 2006 we launched our Wind Energy Challenge, in which  we encourage clients to sign up for Wind Energy through PECO, in exchange for discounts and a matching donation to PAWS.  (Bringing it back to pets!)  We feel that local, clean energy is an investment in our future, and through our program our clients keep over 50,000 lbs of Carbon Dioxide out of the atmosphere annually.   This has been so successful, that it was highlighted on TreeHugger.com We also proudly print all of our promotional materials on 100% recycled paper.  You’ll find most of our Minders traveling between clients on bike or scooter for daily visits, minimizing their fuel usage.  It’s all the little things that help us lessen our Carbon Paw Print.

“I cannot thank you enough for doing such a beautiful job with Bunnard!  His coat was nicely brushed and he was almost a bit surprised when I walked in last night. He was like, "Oh man. It's just you? Where are my friends?" ...  His calm demeanor was a total 180 from how stressed he was after my neighbor watched him back in April. He's off the list - I'm putting you on speed dial!”
