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
What happens during a dog walking visit?
Every visit is built around your dog and your routine. (And spoiler alert: no two households are the same!)
We do not do pack walks, so your dog gets one-on-one attention every time. The walk itself depends on your dog. Some dogs are ready to hustle the moment the leash comes out. Some get a potty break, lunch, and a little couch cuddle time. Others are all about fetch at a local dog park or a longer adventure across neighborhoods. Dogs all have different needs depending on their age, energy level, and home setup. We adjust accordingly.
Once your dog is safely settled back at home, you will receive a Visit Report with photos, bathroom details, and notes from your Minder. You will always know how the visit went, including the important stuff and any hot neighborhood gossip your dog picked up along the way.
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?
Absolutely! Working from home still involves working, even if your dog believes your primary responsibility is waiting to bark at the mail person with them.
Meetings, deadlines, and long stretches at your desk can make it difficult to step away at the same time every day. A midday walk gives your dog a dependable break, some exercise, and something more interesting to do than sigh dramatically in your direction.
Many of our work-from-home clients tell us their dogs are calmer and more content afterward. You get to finish your day, and your dog gets to catch up on all the neighborhood news.
Do I need the same days every week?
No. Some clients keep a set weekly schedule, while others need their days to change. We require at least one walk each week, and flexible requests depend on availability. If you’re unsure which option fits your routine, get started and we'll help you think through your options.
How do I know which walk length is right for my dog?
You don’t have to figure that out on your own. We offer 20, 30, 45, and 60 minute visits, and the right fit depends on your dog’s age, energy, and daily routine. You can request a free meet and greet even if you’re still figuring out what you need. We've worked with thousands of dog families in Philly over the last two decades and are we are happy to help you figure it out.
Every Dog Deserves Something to Look Forward To
Whether you're commuting into the office, working from home, or juggling a busy schedule, a great walk can make all the difference.
Your dog gets a midday adventure, a familiar face, and something exciting to break up the day. You'll get updates, photos, and the reassurance of knowing your best friend is happy, cared for, and having a great day of their own.
We'd love to learn about your dog, your routine, and how we can help make both of your days a little better.
