What our Clients Say...
"I cannot say enough positives about them — they are communicative, conscientious, responsible and trustworthy. As a true “helicopter” dog mom of a then medically challenging elderly dog, I was very scared of having to transition to a new walker following our move from NYC but from day one my experience with the whole Monster Minders team made me feel comfortable and like my boy was getting the very best care You will not find anyone better."

"Monster Minders have been such a great addition to our lives. They are timely, consistent, reliable and most of all love our furbaby as much as we do. Cannot say enough positive things and so grateful for the help they have provided our family."

"It's hard to express how much we love the Monster Minders and I'd give 10 stars if I could. We've worked with them for nearly 9 years. If we hadn't moved, we would still be working with them. The whole team often went above and beyond, helping us in the day to day and in emergency situations. In particular, I will highlight how easy they make everything, from scheduling walks to communicating last minute requests. Further, they take security very seriously. Lastly, they are very committed to their employees' wellbeing and take many steps to make sure both employees and our pets are well taken care of. Overall, they are one of a kind and we will miss them dearly."

"I have had the Monster Minders help me with midday walks for my dog Luna since she was about 8 months old and she is turning 13 later this year. I have found them to be absolutely wonderful for over a decade. Luna loves her and her daily walk time. I also get a daily note with a photo about Luna's walk and it is the absolute highlight of my day. I cannot recommend the Monster Minders enough. I truly have peace of mind and complete trust in their care."

Dog Walking FAQs
Is dog walking worth it for dogs in Philadelphia?
Dog walking is a great fit for most dogs, especially in a busy city like Philadelphia. We work with the full range of dogs. Energetic puppies who need structure, potty training, and an outlet for all that chaos. Older dogs who prefer a slower pace and a familiar route. And everything in between.
In a city environment, walks are not just about exercise. They provide mental stimulation, routine, and exposure to the world outside your front door. The reality is that most dogs benefit from regular, predictable walks during the day. It turns a long stretch at home into something they actually enjoy.
What happens during a dog walking visit?
Every visit is built around your dog and your routine.
We do not do pack walks, so your dog gets one-on-one attention every time. Some dogs head out for a fast-paced neighborhood walk. Some get a potty break, lunch, and a little couch time. Others are all about fetch at a local dog park or a longer adventure. Dogs all have different needs depending on their age, energy level, and home setup. We adjust accordingly.
Every visit includes exercise, a bathroom break, and focused attention from your Minder. Afterward, you will receive a visit report with notes and photos so you know exactly how things went.
How do dog walkers access my home?
We set this up during your meet and greet so it feels easy and secure from day one.
Many of our clients use keyless entry systems or lockboxes. These options tend to be the most flexible, especially for last-minute schedule changes or backup coverage. If you prefer traditional keys, we can securely manage those as well.
Our dog walkers are trained employees, not independent contractors, and we take access and home security seriously. It is a core part of how we operate every day.
Will my dog have the same walker every day?
Consistency is one of the most important parts of great dog walking.
With a set weekly schedule, we assign a primary Minder who gets to know your dog’s personality, routines, and preferences. That familiarity makes a big difference, especially for city dogs who thrive on predictability.
For more flexible schedules, we use a small, consistent team so your dog still sees familiar faces.
Over time, most dogs naturally get comfortable with a few Minders. This allows us to provide reliable coverage when someone is out sick or on PTO, without disrupting your dog’s routine. (Yes, our hardworking crew gets PTO.)
Do you offer dog walking for people who work from home?
Yes, and honestly, a lot of our clients fall into this category.
Working from home does not always mean your dog is getting the structure or activity they need during the day. Meetings, calls, and long work blocks can make it hard to step away consistently. A midday walk gives your dog a break, resets their energy, and makes the rest of the day smoother for both of you.
We often hear that dogs are calmer, happier, and less restless in the afternoon once they have had a proper walk.
