Choosing a dog walker is a big decision and you want someone who truly gets your busy life. For over two decades, Philadelphia families have trusted us to keep their pups happy and their days running smoothly. With a track record that is hard to match in this city, what does that mean for you? Reliable care and real peace of mind. 💚 With hundreds of thousands of walks under our belt, we have the experience and dependability that Philadelphia pet parents have learned to trust for over 21 years. We've been around the block and our clients rest assured that we provide a consistent and compassionate dog walking service. 💚 We’re a Philadelphia magazine, three-time Best of Philly® winner. (Best Dog Walkers 2013, Best Pet-Sitters 2009 & Best Urban Pet Sitter 2006). 💚 All of our dog walkers are employees (not independent contractors). Know that when you chose The Monster Minders - you’re getting more than “just a dog walker.” This isn't a "gig" to us. 💚 All of our visits are one-on-one for safety and tailored service. Your dog will not get lost in the pack with us! 💚 Our custom app makes scheduling visits, updating your pet care files and sending us messages easy and efficient. (And you'll love the photo updates!) Ready to Get Started?

The meet & greet is simply a chance for us to meet you and your dog and learn a little about your routine. We'll swing by your home, say hello to your pup, and talk through the details of your preferred routine and schedule. We’ll learn things like where the leash lives, favorite walking routes, training you might be working on, and anything else that will make for a great walk. It’s also your chance to ask questions and get to know how our service works. Most meet & greets take about 20 minutes. Think of it less like a formal meeting and more like a quick visit to make sure everyone feels comfortable before walks begin. 🐾 Want to get started?

We know everyone is busy which is why we make scheduling your Meet and Greet easy! Our interactive calendar allows you to pick the perfect time for us to come over to introduce our company. Once you select a date and a time, you'll be asked a series of questions about your dog and your preferred dog walking schedule. The more details you can give us the better so we can quickly determine that we have a Minder available in your neighborhood during the days and times you need. (If not, we will add you to our waiting list and reach out when we have an opening.) During our Meet and Greet, you can show us where you keep all of your supplies and we'll chat about your dog's preferences and quirks. Once we meet, you'll be ready to go. Easy! ➡️ Your first step?

Absolutely. Many of our clients work from home and schedule weekly walks! Even when someone is home during the day, dogs often benefit from a dedicated walk with fresh air, exercise, and a little neighborhood adventure. It breaks up their day, burns off energy, and gives you uninterrupted time to focus on work, meetings, or just getting things done.
