Is your dog calling you too much at work to come home and go for a walk??? Walkies Philadelphia proudly offers all types of dog walking services to accommodate all kinds of schedules.
Our “Monthly” clients are billed on a monthly basis for 3+ recurring, weekday walks per week, receive a reserved time slot within the mid-day time frame for their recurring walk days.
Our “Just Walks” clients request & are billed for service on an as-needed basis, and receive a “primary sitter” (our go-to sitter for all service requests a.k.a. your dog's bestie) and at least one “back-up” sitter as well. Services are scheduled on a first come, first served basis.
For the safety of the pets in our care, we do not offer pack walks, dog park trips, or off-leash play time outside of our client’s homes or secured, private outdoor spaces. Visit time includes time spent in your home or building, both pre-visit and post-visit.
Sometimes emergencies happen, or we forget to book! – Our goal is to help you when you need it most, even at the last minute. We will do our best, jump through hoops and really try to accommodate your last minute needs, if we can, we will!
***An additional fee of $25 will be added to your visit request made in under 24hrs after business hours & Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays & Holidays***
It means just that! All of our clients receieve an "assigned sitter." They're the only person that will ever be in your home and walking your dog. It's the very person that you will meet at your regstration meeting, and also your dog's future bestie.
We do this, so that you the client can creat a relationship with your sitter, and also so your sitter creates a great relationship with your dog so should there ever be something amiss with your dog, or even home, your sitter can tell right away and report to you, and me if need be.
Walkies NEVER sends anyone to walk your dog that you have not met, and do not know is coming.
Yes! In fact, we insist! We require a registration meeting prior to the start of your first service, of course so you can meet us, but so we can ask you all the questions, so we are downloaded on routine, feeting, quirks and fav "spots" outside.
Yes we are! We are fully insured and laced up with a hefty liability policy for the safety of your pet and home, our employees and business.
