Why The Monster Minders?

Solo Walks = Safe + Fun Walks

At The Monster Minders, safety comes first. That’s why we never walk dogs from multiple households. Your pup gets our full attention—every time. Whether it’s a park romp or a quiet stroll, we tailor each walk to your dog’s needs. One-on-one care means safer walks, better training reinforcement, and thoughtful socialization.

(Got two pups? We’ve got you covered!)

Decades of experience

We’ve been at this for 20 years, walking hundreds of dogs every week—over 800,000 walks and counting. Along the way, we’ve earned a reputation for reliability, consistency, and top-tier care. Sure, loving dogs is easy. But running a smooth, professional service that supports both pets and people? That’s where we shine.

Busy? We get it!

We know you’re obsessed with your dog—same here. But between work, family, and back-to-back Zoom calls, finding time for walks can feel impossible. That’s where we come in. Think of us as your dog’s favorite backup human. For 20+ years, we’ve helped Philly’s busiest humans be rockstar pet parents (even when they're glued to their laptops).

Employees Rule!

We chose the employee model—while most of the industry went with contractors—because it’s simply the right thing to do. Our walkers get paid time off, job stability, and real support. For you, that means a consistent, accountable, fully insured team that’s proudly raising the bar for dog walkers in Philly. Best crew in town? We think so.
