Our Story
The Monster Minders was founded in 2005 in Bella Vista, Philadelphia by a husband-and-wife team who turned a lifelong love of dogs into a career. After years of traveling the world—often borrowing locals’ dogs for walks—we realized we were meant to do this for a living.
Since then, we’ve helped our clients enjoy hundreds of thousands of worry-free workdays. Along the way, we’ve been honored with multiple “Best of Philly®” awards and even served on the Mayor’s Animal Advisory Committee. But the best recognition? Hearing our clients say, “You take all the stress away!” We are proud that we have built a company people and pets genuinely trust.
At home, we’re proud pet parents to Tui, our lovable, rescue mutt. Every Minder on our team is carefully chosen with one key question in mind: Would we trust them with Tui? If the answer is yes, we know they’re someone you can trust, too. Because Tui is our world.
Our promise to you:
Exceptional, dependable care—so good, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without us.
